Volume 1, Chapter 62: Settling Down

Zhuang Fan and the others walked along the winding mountain path, feeling a mixture of apprehension and anticipation as they headed toward the pool in the mountains.

When An Wen returned from the Hengtai annual gala, it was already quite late. Initially, she thought she could just hail a taxi back, but Fu Xiuran insisted on driving her. Unable to shake him off, she accepted the ride home.

"I think I saw a security guard at the entrance hand him a pill, and it looked like he took it," the brother on the other end of the walkie-talkie said.

Yue sneered inwardly, yet maintained a calm and composed expression on his face as he stepped out of the room.

After all, the heavily bundled-up appearance he sported made him look anything but trustworthy in her eyes.

Alice actually wanted to retreat as well, but they were arguing right in front of her own tent, and she could hardly just ignore it.

A sixteen-year-old boy's disposition was still unformed, and perhaps he could not yet fully distinguish his own feelings, but he was also at the most malleable age. Moreover, his nature was so innocent that if he truly ended up with Nongyue, he would undoubtedly treat her exceptionally well.

At the very last moment, the troops surrounding the Zhada tribe noticed A Chang's actions, yet they made no move to stop him. They merely maintained a silent perimeter, ensuring that no one had any chance of escape.

Did such a thing even happen? Hua Qiuyue was horrified. They were all of the same roots, why be so eager to hound one another? Yet, shifting her tone abruptly, she began to flatter Master Agu.

Now feeling that he had already paid the money, Lin Jie shed much of his hesitation. He boldly dialed the number he had looked up earlier, but the phone on the other end remained switched off.

The experimental rooms stood in neat, parallel rows, with prominent large numbers painted on their walls. Experimental Room No. 3 naturally bore the number 3. Walking just a few steps, Xiao Qiang reached it and slipped directly inside.

A wave of shock washed over Lin Dong's heart. The Primordial Spirit Mountain—how unimaginably precious it was! Yet, alongside its value, the danger it posed to him increased exponentially. Now that he had arrived here, would the creatures slumbering in this place awaken?

"Put down the knife and listen to my explanation," Pan Wei shouted loudly, his office now left in a state of utter devastation.

After waiting for a short while, Zhang Xineting actually replied to me. Her message read: "You big dummy, you'd probably still be helping someone count the money after being sold. Neither of those is correct, keep guessing. Given your IQ, you probably won't figure it out in a lifetime."

Observing Bi Xuanming's panicked gaze, Qin川 smiled. Without answering Bi Xuanming's question, he lifted his foot and walked slowly toward him.

"Why didn't you, you guys try to stop him?" Qin Chuan frowned as he walked up to Wang Yan and the others, who wore looks of profound shock.

The commander of the Seven-Kill Guards waved his hand, summoning his natal dharma sword, which was a half-step forbidden artifact. The moment the Autumn Water Emerald Moon Sword appeared, it caused the void to tremble and all living things to submit in awe.

Along the way, all the vines and ancient locust tree branches retreated, yet Luo Chen could faintly discern figures darting and leaping among them.

Undergoing the heavenly tribulation was not something one could evade simply by wishing to. It was a matter of sooner or later, much like the Master of Yi. The more one suppressed it, the greater the might of the tribulation lightning became. Besides, Qin Chuan had no desire to suppress it; in fact, he was already growing somewhat impatient to enter the immortal realm.

Although Wuyazi's power was astonishing, it was not so exaggerated as to simply blow Luo Yun away. The only explanation was that Luo Yun had planned this step long in advance, specifically to clash head-on with Wuyazi and use the recoil to make his escape.

Wang Shi let out a faint sigh. Since things had reached this stage, all they could do was do their human utmost and leave the rest to destiny.
