Chapter 143: The Terrace of Home-Longing

Regardless of what the common people thought of the yamen, or whether Cui Yu, the presiding assistant magistrate, treated the bailiffs and runners well or not, whenever Cao Jin was mentioned, no one failed to give a thumbs-up and praise him as a fine man.

He was capable, adept at mediating between superiors and subordinates, prompt in adjudicating cases, and deeply compassionate toward the common folk.

Therefore, upon hearing that Constable Cao had been gravely injured, his friends and family naturally rushed to his side, and even ordinary citizens who had previously received his kindness spontaneously came to visit him.

A strange sensation lingered in Shi Yu's mind. He clearly lacked a physical body, lacking even a soul or true spirit, yet why could he still think, and still radiate a power akin to divine sense to communicate with the snow pearl?

This person had originally wanted to see when the on-duty security guards would come up to take those people away so that they would be safe.

I could not help frowning slightly. These people had clearly departed before us and should not have known our whereabouts, yet they lay in ambush to attack us here in advance, which clearly meant they had mastered our exact movements.

The crucial part was that, aside from a slight nausea, she was actually able to calmly watch the entire process unfold, which made her admire herself.

Apart from this cyan sword light, the world seemed to have lost all its color, turning into a shade of grayish white.

Some said it was because they had angered the mountain god, and thus were all annihilated. As for why Linghu Cliff was so eerie, it was entirely due to the overwhelming resentment of the Lingye tribesmen who had died tragically there years ago. Unwilling to be reincarnated after death, their vengeful spirits gathered in the sky and lingered for a long time.

"Are we still lacking this single time?" Peng Yusheng averted his face, looking genuinely displeased to the utmost limit; he was angry.

"What is there to fear? The Heavenly Lord Seal battered him until only a shred of vitality remained! If the Earth God Sovereign hadn't double-crossed me that day, the Formless Demon would already be dead!" Remembering the battle where he was almost overthrown by the Formless Demon, Molu burned with rage.

The massive enhancement allowed Shi Yu to effortlessly and thoroughly master the entire collection of archives in the Yu Divine Palace, while also sorting through all of Qingxi's memories.

Luo Jian seized the opportunity to wrench his hand free, rubbed his wrists, and gazed into the distance. Looking down, he saw a wide, rough, uncompleted concrete floor, where a gym had originally been planned to be built.

Zhang Xingxing desperately wanted to shout: I was acting in self-defense, self-defense, alright? I am not a criminal! Surrender to the police—what on earth is that?

Some people lived in such an era, yet they were unwilling to accept an era of peace. Why, possessing such formidable strength, must they still abide by the law? Why, possessing such formidable strength, could they only remain ordinary people?

An Yu grasped the Crimson Drink Divine Sword, and his aura instantly transformed. The terrifying pressure emanating from the blade caused even all the Martial Emperor experts present to feel a flutter of unease in their hearts.

The Scarlet Flame Demons, having wounded the warrior, licked the fresh blood from their sharp claws. Their pupils burned with an even crazier excitement, and the laughter spilling from their mouths grew increasingly unbridled.

Hearing Li Dongsheng say this, the student blushed, covered his face with his sleeve, and dared not utter another word. It seemed he was not completely devoid of a shred of shame.

This was something he really did not need to conceal; after all, if he lacked even this basic level of observation, then his strength as the Pope would truly be too pathetic.

"It is even more impossible to achieve, is it?" Qin Guyue heard Mo Junwu trail off, and knowing their relationship was exceptionally close, he simply spoke up directly.

The bodyguard excitedly grasped Huo Xinchen's hand, insisting that Huo Xinchen give him an autograph no matter what. Utterly helpless, Huo Xinchen signed his name on the man's arm.

"The Emperor of Qin discovered that the lingering obsession, malice, and grievance carried by the wandering souls were simply too heavy. If no way is found to purge them, the netherworld will surely be destroyed. However, we also understand the principle that extremes meet, so we do not vainly aspire to eliminate all karmic obstacles, thus avoiding the perils of doing so," King Taishan said slowly.

Aldebaran groaned inwardly. At this moment, he felt as though most of the bones in his body had been shattered into pieces. With even the slightest tremor, astonishing pain surged relentlessly from every single corner of his body.
