Volume 1, Chapter 42: Ancestor Cangtian, The Starry Fruit Tree

Gu Jinxi lay on the ground with her head lowered, her dangling wig concealing her face. While her expression remained hidden, her pale visage was clearly visible.

Had it not been for the formidable internal gravity adjustment system of the spacecraft, the people inside would likely have experienced a sensation a hundred times more thrilling than a roller coaster.

Iron Heart, sporting a few bald patches, pursued furiously behind. The trees blocking his way were simply shoved aside and crushed flat by his immensely sturdy body, carving a completely straight path forward as he pressed on.

Division Commander Liang raised his gaze to look at the objects before him and fell silent. He knew the price behind these items. Though they now lay seemingly weightless upon the desk, they were in truth bought with the blood, sweat, youth, and even lives of soldiers.

Fresh blood seeped out between his fingers, staining a large patch of the white short-sleeved T-shirt underneath a deep crimson. His head buzzed as he analyzed rapidly, trying to piece together the whole sequence of events.

Communication equipment back then was not as advanced as it is today; there was no internet or email, and checking up on foreign affairs was exceedingly difficult.

With that, he turned around, bumped his head straight against the car, and let out an "ouch" of pain before squatting down while clutching his forehead and rubbing it vigorously.

These corpses lay either face up or face down, their wretched states of death almost piercing the white-wolf youth's eyes.

Although he put on an indifferent front in front of Zhang Ziliang, Zhang Jialiang actually harbored a deep sense of the importance of the items inside the bag.

This was not merely to urge Mi Xiang'er to visit her ailing parents; Xu Jingya was also genuinely worried about the aftermath of the fire at the company.

King burst into a sudden surge of speed on the rooftop, finally stopping in an unpopulated corner. He glanced around his surroundings and at last confirmed that no one was following him.

People startled by the commotion streamed out of their homes, gazing up at the sky. Then, one by one, their jaws dropped in absolute shock, leaving them frozen in place at the sight unfolding above.

A few days later, Sun Hui's body had fully recovered to its original state. Perhaps due to having ingested Wang Linlin's precious blood, he even felt his spirit was superior to ordinary days. Consequently, he immediately set out to search for the whereabouts of that monster and the Taoist priest who had injured him with lightning.

Curious, Zhou Lingyun voiced the question. After finishing, she looked pitifully at Lin Qingya, her large eyes blinking continuously as if silently saying, "If you don't answer me, I'll cry for you to see."

Lin Qingya was just as baffled as Gong Yali, utterly failing to comprehend the workings of Gong Juan's mind. It was one thing that her attitude towards her had been poor in the past, but now that she was asking a favor from their family, how could she still make such sarcastic and biting remarks in such a weird tone? Did she really think that after treating others with a cold face, they would still wholeheartedly exert themselves to help her?

Lu Li felt somewhat helpless, but after confirming his current condition, he still swept his gaze across the surroundings as best as he could.

Following this violent blow, its form became somewhat unstable, revealing the primordial spirit of the Nine-Dragon Seal imprisoned within its heart. Its surrounding aura was fluctuating, and its eyes were vacant and devoid of spirit, completely lacking any independent consciousness.

Naturally, given the capability of Demon Mother Xuan and her possession of such a formidable supreme weapon like the God-Slaughtering Saw, even though Liu Xu possessed magical treasures, it was safe to say he would find it difficult to gain the upper hand. Being chased this way and that, leaping up and down, was no exaggeration.

Upon hearing the words of Hunwu, Duobao was stunned at first, and then his anger flared uncontrollably. At this moment, he was not only the senior disciple of the Shangqing lineage and the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, but also the current sect master of Jie Sect, holding the supreme inheritance of the Jie Sect, the "Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation." How could he tolerate being so easily humiliated?

Zhang Qiangsheng's favorable impression of Lu Li stemmed not only from his pleasing appearance, but also from a single glance... the gentle, refreshing, yet calm and steadfast temperament he exuded made it difficult for anyone to harbor negative feelings toward him.

Seeing the county magistrate maintain such a clear mind, the two men finally revealed expressions of joy: "The magistrate is truly wise." With his words, the matters that followed would be much easier to handle.

Sure enough, the moment Xiong Hui's voice faded, two old men appeared out of thin air behind him. These two elders looked even older than Xiong Hui and both leaned on walking canes, yet the occasional aura leaking from their bodies was even more terrifying than Xiong Hui's! However, their aura carried a rather evil undertone.

Although doing so was somewhat inhumane, under the current hostile state between both parties, they had no choice but to harden their hearts.

Liu Dingtian obediently extended his right hand, guessing that Elder Chen intended to inspect the trace of vital energy within his body, just as Xu Cong had done. The moment Elder Chen placed his fingers upon his pulse gate, Liu Dingtian proactively circulated the incantation formula.

Ilona maintained her immobilized posture while attempting to tame the flood of power within her body. Yet that force was like an unruly child rampaging everywhere inside her; had Ilona not forcefully reined it in, that power probably would have already burst out by now.

Down below, upon seeing the three figures fall, that monster excitedly prepared to catch them for a hearty feast. Unfortunately for it, Rein was present—arguably the strongest human in this world, save for Langum.

"This..." Faced with Lu Zhen using his own spear to pierce his own shield, this official surnamed Wang was momentarily at a loss for words and did not know how to retort.

"Phew, it's better to retreat first!" Seeing this scene, Yun Chen broke out in a cold sweat. Then, with a gentle shudder of his figure in mid-air, he vanished instantly.
