Chapter 22

"Damn the Murong Mansion again. Very well, rest assured, I will have it prepared immediately," Li Hu said as he walked out.

A thunderous explosion crashed into everyone's eardrums, causing all to freeze in their tracks, their bodies stiffened by the shock.

I directed the villagers to saw off the roots exposed above ground. I chose not to cut down the trees entirely because as long as the roots remained, the geomantic layout of this place would not be completely destroyed.

"Mother, did Banxia really do this? Does she truly possess such great ability?" Murong Chong could not bring himself to believe that the seemingly fragile and delicate Banxia was capable of such feats.

But now, with the Yuanji Heart as a catalyst, as long as all five precious pearls were gathered, Liu Wei’s strength would surely see a tremendous increase.

The manner of death was ghastly; I struggled to accept that someone who had been a living person just minutes ago was now reduced to this state.

In truth, it was only after Ye Fei had seen much of the world that he understood his master’s status in the medical field. In ancient times, he would have been an imperial physician, treating high-ranking leaders, but in a rural village, anyone who saw these things would assume it was a scam—after all, these bumpkins had never seen the world.

Yellow sand continued to swirl around the edges of the Great Desolate City, and the flow of people remained like a tide. No one noticed the departure of Huang Qing, just as no one had known of his arrival.

Wei Ting wore a smiling mask while feeling smug inside; he had long since discovered the loopholes in the Green Gang's system. In a collective decision-making framework, the power of a single veto could effectively be equated to absolute control.

Under Ye Fei’s encouragement and support, the doctors regained their spirits and hurried out of the office to continue their emergency work.

While talking, they arrived at another classroom, went inside, and sat down at a window seat.

"Fine, I’ll send it to your WeChat." With that, Cui Ming hung up, opened WeChat, and sent over the location.

He, however, was a master cultivated through medicinal pills and could in no way be compared to Jiang Taiping.

Just then, Nan Mucheng saw Elder Zhao shake his head slightly at him, seemingly indicating that he did not intend to reveal the secret of the Dragon-Carved Tablet to Qin Bei.

Before departure, Cong Gang had already instructed Dr. Liang to make full preparations. He had Dr. Liang prepare 6,000 milliliters of blood, enough to replace Feng Xinglang’s entire blood volume.

Near the concrete bridge, the bullet-riddled car had already been towed away. Scattered glass and bloodstains were still visible on the ground, and the damaged railings were twisted into grotesque shapes, a chilling sight. Passing drivers either didn't notice or assumed it was a standard traffic accident; in any case, they could not fathom the danger that had unfolded there.

After a dozen seconds, as the thick black mist retreated, Chen Qi’s body had undergone a earth-shattering transformation.

Zhou Xuan chuckled and placed the check on the table—five hundred thousand! Added to the previous one hundred thousand, he had earned six hundred thousand this time.

At noon, Yang San pulled over at a rest stop. Having skipped breakfast, he was feeling a bit hungry.

Looking at Chen Ergou, he dared not let his guard down either, for he was now facing an opponent at the peak of the semi-martial path, and he himself was currently devoid of any internal energy.

How could Hua Luo have appeared here? How could the Ice Guardian know of the existence of the Senmang Formation? Given the strength of the Six Cherry Blossom Clan, the fact that they still required formidable power even after identifying the culprit suggested the perpetrator was no simple foe.

Three hundred years ago, three supreme demons of the Soul Martial Continent gathered and traveled together. They left a trail of slaughter and corpses in their wake. Regardless of whether one was good or evil, if they found you displeasing, death was your only path.

The reason it had taken five years to find the eight cave dwellings was, firstly, because these places were extremely secretive; secondly, these dwellings were guarded by powerful formations and restrictions. Since Yu Yan could not let others know, he had to rely on his own study of formation arts and his current level of cultivation to slowly unlock them.

Two days later, in the Zhiyue Cave, Yu Yan sat cross-legged on a stone bed with his eyes closed. A gray mass of spiritual consciousness slowly overflowed from between his brows, completely enveloping the jade slip hovering above his head.

The twenty men roared in unison, raising their long staffs toward the sky. Their hands moved in circles, weaving complex hand seals.

Therefore, the most urgent task now was to gather information on detection formations, then collect the necessary materials to build one.

Just then, Liu Gan whispered something into Liu Chong’s ear. Liu Chong’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Gan in astonishment; Liu Gan nodded in return.

"Hey, is his name Mo Shitian?" Ye Wei stopped being secretive and pointed directly at Mo Shitian, asking Su Ruyu.

"No wonder the vampires lost to him. This skeleton-like guy is too terrifying!" Bismarck stared at the Undead Archmage, his eyes filled with gravity.

"The most important thing now is to protect the Phoenix Garden. The patrol was originally handled by Gao Bing and Hu Zi, but since Hu Zi is injured and Gao Bing is caring for him, you will have to take their place."

But this time, it was slightly different. Because when Baal appeared, he clearly sensed his own soul. He could even feel his heartbeat and see his skin; he discovered with surprise that, beyond slaughter, he had actually developed a consciousness of his own.

"Damn it!" Duan Ganwei cursed, striking forcefully at Luo Li’an with both hands, but Luo Li’an had already dodged. This left Duan Ganwei helpless, yet he noticed that Jiang Zaiyuan was not avoiding him but instead coming closer and closer.

Following the vines, I returned to Xu Yang and the others. It sounds complicated, but in reality, I hadn't been gone for long.

There were Dabao, Erbao, the Eight Stone Saints, the eleven Holy Trees, Lin Fei, and over a dozen other experts at the ancestor level who had previously defected to Lin Fei.
