Chapter 44: Sending the Signal

Zhao Weimin’s target today was a deer—at the very least, a roe deer.

Otherwise, the food at home would soon run out.

Although the family had already brought down a sika deer, that deer was the down payment for a compound bow.

It could not be touched.

The small supply of roe-deer meat at home was nearly gone, and with only canned food left, there was simply not enough to feed two people...

Everyone around them was utterly baffled. Only the vice dean and Xie Xiao could vaguely piece together the cause and effect.

After more than two months of “arduous travel,” Liu Qitian finally reached his destination. He collapsed onto the “bed” and let out a deep sigh of relief, wondering what exactly the freshmen would be tested on two days later.

The conversation was once again smothered by a deathly silence. Firelight illuminated sixteen faces weighed down by troubled thoughts.

Finger-Flick Divine Skill gave a cold snort, then tossed the imperial jade seal into the air. Cai He seized the opportunity to step forward and catch it, but Finger-Flick Divine Skill struck him with a palm. The blow was not fatal, yet it shifted all his internal organs out of place, and he spat out a great mouthful of blood.

Thinking of the surprises she often received from Li Bai lately—sometimes a lovingly prepared breakfast, sometimes a hot pot so delicious it was almost unbelievable—she suddenly felt that being together like this was truly the greatest happiness.

“Take us to see him!” Tang Song said grimly.

Lan Yu nodded and led the way. Tang Song held Gu Qingcheng’s hand while following the silent Duan Gang into the private treatment room behind Lan Yu.

Monkey Bro said that one day was far from enough. In order to earn another chance to go out, he had had no choice but to come back.

Li Bai’s day passed peacefully. He did little more than visit the bar to inspect the renovation progress, organize his song list, and check on the players in the game.

My attack successfully drew the aggro. The Death Knight quickly recovered from the stun caused by the heavy strike, while Purple MM and the other two still had not arrived.

“All right, Third Uncle. In a little while, you’ll understand just how insignificant your efforts are compared with what you gain.”

Lu Heng glanced at the several masters who had nearly caught up and spoke to them.

Upon reaching the Creation Realm, eleventh-level psionic energy could reject reality and thereby gain the ability to heal and repair—healing injuries in living beings and repairing damage to objects. At the twelfth level came the ability to slice through space; at the thirteenth, the power to rewrite reality.

“Slay Heaven, let us fight! Let us pierce the firmament, crush the earth, and dye the entire sky red with the blood of the gods of the myriad heavens!”

Throwing back his head in狂 laughter, the man swept the Heaven-Slaying Evil Blade through the air. The entire world seemed to have been ripped open from end to end.

“Reporter Su! Reporter Su!”

After the explosion, Yu Fei hurriedly checked whether Su Li was all right. But Su Li merely stared toward the site of the blast, tears streaming down her face in great drops. Her eyes were hollow and lifeless.

“You didn’t know? She’s the city lord’s old flame. Naturally, she gets different treatment.”

A lecherous man gave an obscene grin.

Unexpectedly, the monster prisoners were extremely unwilling to leave. Someone shouted, “Why is Ling Azi allowed to stay? Just because she’s high-level and used to be our leader? We want to stay too!”

They all began pleading in unison, some even kneeling and kowtowing.

“Actually, we didn’t help her because we wanted to encourage her to fight with her parents. We just felt that if we didn’t help, the girl might really board a train. Once she got out into the vast world beyond, finding her again would be nearly impossible.”

Bai Xi and the others were, all things considered, remarkably dependable friends.

“No need. I’ll handle this myself. For now, let him watch carefully. It may well benefit his cultivation in the future.”

The Azure-Winged Bat King spoke to Lu Heng’s Third Uncle.

The two entered a region of gray mist. After walking for a while, they reached a quiet place and took a deep breath.

“Looks like this is a relatively remote part of the Eternal World.”

Lin Kaien looked around but saw neither Shadow People nor Shadow Elves.

After two years of development under the Ma father-and-son pair, especially following the peaceful progress of the past year and a half, all of Xiliang had recovered some of its vitality and begun to flourish once more.

“Ke Yiyang is mine! What right does that Beiyu Tang have to possess him? Since she refuses to see reason and won’t return him, then she can go die!”

Yang Yiliu screamed like a madwoman, her face twisted into a terrifying expression that frightened everyone present.

Seeing how shy she was, Xiao Junming felt his heart stir. As though no one else were around, he lowered his head and lightly kissed her peach-like, delicate cheek.

On this point, she could never be mistaken. Qilin was not merely her blade; it was practically an extension of her arm.

As the sunset gradually faded and a waning moon rose above the sea of stars, I finished venting my grief and gave the two gravestones another self-mocking smile.

The baby’s crying only left Wang Chong even more perplexed. How could there be a baby in the princess’s bedchamber, and who could have brought it there?

Since his throat was already gone, he could not speak. Thus, the content of his final words existed only as conjecture.

“Indeed. We can set aside the visible sentries along the way, but there are at least fifteen hidden ones—and that’s only along the stretch we’ve traveled!”

Jingang spoke with a grave expression.

Fortunately, Zhang Fang decisively ordered them to open fire. The six warships nearest to them were immediately blasted into disarray; four had already begun to sink. This bought Husi Leng and the others a considerable amount of time.

After calling out three times in succession, he received no response from below. That was the rule: if no relatives came to see someone off, matters became much simpler. The government would handle everything on their behalf, granting the dying at least one final wish.

Yet accidents always occurred without warning. The swallowing process suddenly came to a halt.

Although the common people were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to cooperate with the army’s actions. Those who refused had already seen the consequences: rifle barrels were pressed directly against their heads, leaving them too frightened to move as they lay sprawled on the ground.

Faced with Mo Xue’s question, Li Tianyou recalled how he had once concealed his identity and deceived her. If he hid the truth again, it would amount to deceiving her for a second time.

Cheng Yitian did not stop. He tormented her for quite some time before finally withdrawing his hand.

Yunshan pressed a hand to her chest, breathing heavily in and out. Her ambiguous movements drew the other person’s gaze, which gradually grew heated.

Good heavens, the design of this NPC was truly something else. Still, I ignored his impatience. Why lower myself by arguing with an NPC?

Powerful chaotic energy surged and roiled, arcs of electricity weaving through it, as though this were one of the most terrifying forbidden zones in all creation. Deep within this land of chaos, magnificent golden palaces rose from the ground one after another. Solemn chants of scripture drifted forth, leaving the soul empty and serene while shaking both body and spirit.
