Chapter 46: There Is Still a Long Road Ahead

Bai Yan, her eyes red with tears, said, “Sister-in-law, I know you don’t believe me; after all, everything is too coincidental. Though I meant no harm, I did end up hurting you. So whatever you decide to do, I’ll quietly accept it. If you want me to do something, just say the word—I’d go through fire and water for you, without hesitation.”

Gu Zhuo scrutinized her for a long time before speaking: “You just spoke to me in the dialect of our Hongshan Brigade.”

What?

Bai Yan was momentarily at a loss. She wanted to sense whether there was someone nearby with an unusually high vitality index, but instead, she found that even the passersby possessed more primal force than she did. When she tried to mobilize her own primal force, it felt like a switch had been flipped: energy began surging wildly within her body, as if a vacuum-packed container had been punctured and primal force started filling her up.

“Brother Chenghao, don’t blame me for being ruthless—today, Su Yi must die!” As he spoke, he struck directly at Wang Chenghao with his palm.

The group immediately split in two, everyone taking cover behind massive trees, distancing themselves from each other. Su Yi’s party of ten was instantly isolated by the dark tide into two halves.

“Big brother, don’t be hasty! Internal troubles must be settled before external threats! Now, the King of Tibetan Monks has rebelled, fled to Sindhu, and joined forces with the Baiyi to besiege China.” Liansheng felt regretful, for he had failed to find the treasured bamboo branch held by the thin Daoist, suspecting it had been obliterated in the explosion.

The private tunnels beneath Hui Village crisscrossed in a complex maze, with many misleading paths; unfamiliarity with the terrain could lead one into deadly traps or even a dead end from which there was no escape. Fortunately, guided by the people of Hui Village, the party faced none of these dangers and all were in high spirits.

Shen Qingxi was thoroughly annoyed by Guan Muhua’s current demeanor; if not for her earlier words, she would already be dining with Bi Qianmo.

Rushing into the hotel lobby, she saw Shen Teng directing the security guards, maintaining control over the situation.

Yet, Lin Bixiao, whom everyone considered lucky, could not muster a smile—she hadn’t expected Su Zhinen’s promise to support the plan with the Su family’s power to manifest in such a manner.

“You know very well how you did it,” Yang Chong said with a slight smile, feeling a hint of regret at uncovering the real secret of the mechanism.

Voices of agreement rang out; Wei Ze and Tang Dou seized Zhang Qiang and prepared to go downstairs.

When the waiter saw me, his body trembled suddenly, and ‘fear’ was written all over his face.

Upon hearing my words, a smile appeared on the Demon Shadow’s face. He licked his lips and slowly drew the samurai sword hidden on his body, grinned, and gradually raised it.

Just as Bu Qianyang’s Celestial Pool Profound Water was about to strike the Heavenly Stele, with Luo Hao’s cold snort, the Seven-Foot Proud Profound suddenly appeared to intercept the Celestial Pool Profound Water.

At that moment, a commotion erupted all around; the bushes ahead began shaking incessantly, growing ever more intense as time passed.

Upon hearing the other’s words, Luo Hao sneered, though he was quite helpless inside—this artifact spirit was truly eccentric and unreliable.

In his final moments, Elder Arrow Slave’s eyes still held fear, but more than that, they brimmed with unwillingness.

Lei Lin’s brows knitted together; although Ren Tianchong now appeared calm on the surface, Lei Lin, well acquainted with his temperament, knew how serious matters had become.

Watching the scene unfold, Situ Zhong spoke up, his expression full of disbelief at the other’s words.

Still, this direction seemed correct. With that thought, Xiang Gangtian once again activated his Martial Eye, continuing to observe and comprehend.

Lillisa used her magic wand to cloak herself in invisibility and soared through the sky. She saw Meyer sneak out of the city.

Leng Yuqiu, as if waking from a dream, slapped himself hard, cursing his own stupidity. He scrambled to his feet, apologized repeatedly, and then fled in embarrassment.
