Chapter 41: Turmoil in Hedong
The past betrayal and the present ruin were decreed by fate; retribution is never absent, it merely takes time to arrive.
As for the so-called supreme beast clan, the Qilin clan, they resided in the east-central region of the West Demon Realm. It was truly a vast distance from the Saint Elephant Village, and the map alone left Zixiao Yun feeling deeply astonished. If the Tianzhou Continent were to be compared to the Demon Domain Continent, it would probably only measure up to one of the realms within the demon territories.
Five or six submachine guns firing simultaneously made for a rather spectacular scene, and the dense, rain-like bullets clearly served to provide temporary suppression.
Several young boys sat upon luxurious, dark green velvet sofas, crossing their legs as they sang. The expensive, exquisite glass long table was laden with wine bottles, glasses, and a full assortment of food and drinks.
"Senior Brother? Heh, do you even deserve that title?" Tianchen gripped the Scarlet Sun Immortal Sword tightly, and a powerful red sword aura instantly surged into the sky, completely enveloping Xu Ziyi. The immense pressure caught Xu Ziyi off guard, forcing him to immediately abandon his confrontation with Tianchen. He spun in mid-air a few times with his Clear Spirit Sword before landing back on the ground.
The moment I turned to leave, I raised a hand to touch my face, realizing that it had long been covered in tears. As the plane soared into the clouds, I thought this was the final ending for Chi Xiaoyi and me.
Suddenly, Xun Ruoliu's office landline rang. Glancing at the caller ID, her heart began to beat uncontrollably; the number belonged to Ji Yu's office landline.
"Don't you think you ought to offer me a glass of water..." Ji Yu said shamelessly.
Having just gracefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, Bai Yi cast a gloomy gaze at the chubby nurse.
Ten minutes later, Chi Xiaoyi rushed over as well. Upon learning what had happened, apart from a sense of tragedy, he felt no other emotions. So-called cause and effect was probably just like this.
By the time he started working odd jobs, those thugs had already been completely wiped out by Jiang Shichuan, leaving no arrogant factions remaining anywhere in the city.
"Well, you can study it slowly; after all, I don't quite understand," Yang Tai said, appearing much more modest this time.
As the Holy Light Corporation dealt with one unexpected event after another, the gazes of the numerous living beings on the floating battlefield gradually converged on a single point.
Perhaps for someone born in an upper realm and accustomed to seeing fine treasures, merely feasting his eyes on it was enough.
Yanyan picked up a Ganhua fruit and weighed it in her hand. The color and texture of the Ganhua fruit were very similar to a sweet orange, yet it was as large as a pomelo. Its flesh was rich, sweet, and exquisitely flavored.
Benevolence, righteousness, and empathy have nothing to do with age; they are invariably tied to one's life experiences.
He walked toward that office with familiar ease, passing through the noisy workshop, climbing the stairs, and glancing up at the busy workers upstairs.
At this thought, Li Juan felt she could no longer stay here a moment longer, and turning around, she bolted straight out of the Duke of Wei's estate.
Beside me, Xueyue, as if unable to endure the tension any longer, grabbed my right wrist tightly. But at that moment, I had no mood whatsoever to savor that touch, for a massive figure was slowly emerging before our eyes from behind the violently shaking pillars of flame.
For Joyna, the one she truly loved was Prince Simon—not just because of the strength Zhou Chen displayed, but also because of the hidden power of being Prince Simon. Yet when reality differed from her imagination, Joyna rejected any voice that questioned Zhou Chen's identity, even if that voice came from Zhou Chen himself.
Zhou Chen guessed that the challenge of this space lay in figuring out how to get out. There was no danger, but the area was vast, so it might take some effort to find a way through.
Their only option now was to force their way across, but that was far too risky. Facing such a powerful tornado, even Zhou Chen could not guarantee a completely safe passage.
A colleague shouted to me, "Don't worry, I won't let you down when the time comes." As I spoke, Yiluo and his wyvern vanished from my sight.
"Could it really be just like that?" Li Si felt that Situ Yan's words made sense. He had visited the fields twice himself, initially noticing only that Li Dalang's crops were sturdier and taller, without seeing anything else special. But by now, he finally sensed the difference, though it was already too late, and regret was futile.
By the time the monk had finished eating half the chicken, licking all ten of his fingers clean, to Zhou Chen's utter astonishment, this dissolute monk simply tipped his head back and fell fast asleep.
To Heart Flame, the eight elite fire giants were merely a light meal, and they were still a long way from being full.
As the formation's boundary was compressed down to a ten-meter radius, the unicorn's movements finally came to a halt.
Outside the mountain stream, a few figures were peeking—over a hundred disciples who had withdrawn from the Enforcement Hall.
Seeing Tang Chen arrive, Bo Saixi's eyes lit up with joy, for she knew Tang Chen's true strength all too well.
When she first came to him, she was as tender as tofu containing a package of water, and every cry of pain made Sheng Shijue both heartache-stricken and itching with desire, leaving him hopelessly addicted and unable to stop.
Furthermore, he had failed to see through the exact level of Chongzhen's martial arts cultivation. Remembering the painful lessons of his previous two failures, Lu Qing exercised caution this time and did not dare to act rashly. Instead, his gaze fell upon the face of Cult Master Zhang Tianshi.
A streak of white light flashed across the high altitude, leaving a dazzling tail flame in its wake as if it were about to cleave the entire sky apart. The white light was actually plunging toward the ground, its speed gradually slowing down.
Anyway, half the day had already passed; he might as well use the remaining time to catch up with the friends staying at the Taoist temple.
