Volume 1, Chapter 41: The Conspiracy

Ye Zhaoying hastily looked away, desperate to forget that fleeting moment of beguilement.

Without Mu Yi’s support, Mures staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground again to become "Mr. Rag." Managing to steady himself, Mr. Rag used his hands to brush away the mixture of fabric strips and hair obscuring his vision, then looked toward Mu Yi.

What to do, what to do? If there is no other way, we must let it burn. Burning one district is better than having the monsters destroy the entire planet.

He Yingyan’s face remained calm, revealing nothing of whether the situation was good or bad. Articha picked up his binoculars and peered through them. Near the water source, many vehicles were parked. He counted at least a dozen; all their doors were tightly shut.

Who could guarantee that Cao Cao would not follow Yuan Shu’s example and force Liu Xie to abdicate the imperial throne to him as well?

The old man’s words were quite earnest, yet filled with deep melancholy. To put it in the words of a zombie: "I never imagined I would see such a miserable day." It left one speechless, and for fear of losing composure, he began to speak again, his eyes brimming with helplessness.

Fortunately, he had awakened after only nineteen years. Had he slept for forty or fifty years, Qin Yun would surely have wept himself into a stupor. This was his first time projecting his soul, and having no prior experience, he had never anticipated the phenomenon of "womb-delusion."

This time, the Church of Light had issued a quest for players to recover the hammer from the abandoned sanctuary, intending for the artifact to be used in the upcoming War of Light and Darkness. But who would be worthy enough to wield such a divine creation?

The allied commanders exchanged glances, remaining silent with furrowed brows. Some even sneered, clearly disdaining what Jiang Ziya had said.

What was most terrifying was that such archery was not limited to a few individuals; all five thousand Wind God Archers possessed this skill. It was no wonder that in the past, the Wind God Archers had dominated the world, and there was a reason Hou Yi had captured the capital of the Xia Dynasty with only three thousand of them. It was no surprise that Han Zhuo had feared the Youqiong tribe so deeply.

The High Great Saint Lie Yanshi, a powerful figure who had plagued the Return to Ruins for years, was like a mere chicken in Ye Xun’s hands—fit only for the slaughter, with no room to struggle.

After a thorough inspection, Lin Hang inserted the newly replicated Spirit Cloud into the original mass. Before long, they merged completely, becoming even larger than before.

Tian Guoshan was moved to tears at the sight of these ingredients from his hometown. Old neighbors from back home had traveled thousands of miles to send these items; for over a decade, the people of his hometown had not forgotten them.

Following the system upgrade, the sound of the roulette wheel spinning remained as familiar as ever—as jarring and screeching as an old ox pulling a broken cart.

Wu Junxiu simply sat to one side, a vicious smile curling his lips as he watched the spectacle.

As the sword energy surged toward him, Ye Chen did not dodge or weave. Instead, he charged forward like a fierce tiger, letting the blades carve bloody gashes into his body. Compared to the sight of Zhang Fengnian and the others being tortured, this pain was nothing.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a figure slowly materialized before Lin Hang. Upon closer inspection, it looked exactly like Zhu Long, though its eyes were vacant and its face lacked any spark of life.

After alighting from the carriage, Chen Jintong passed through the Qiankun Hall and spotted Chen Yuying from afar. Chen Yuying seemed to have been waiting for quite some time, and seeing Chen Jintong approach, she hurried over with a grin.

"Team Leader Chen, my subordinates have finished the investigation. Yun Ya and a young man entered the academy yesterday, but there is absolutely no news regarding Shaojun," Li Mu said respectfully to Chen Shaojian.
