Volume 1, Chapter 64: Be a Good Person in Your Next Life

Lu Jing delivered a swift, powerful horizontal slash downward with the battle saber in his hand, accompanied by a piercing whistle. The aged ape-beast shoved off the ground with all its might, desperately trying to evade the strike.

However, Lu Jing's blade was simply too fast. A sound of flesh being sheared echoed through the air.

Screech—

The blade bit into the ape-beast's neck once more, striking the exact same spot as before, this time biting deeper by a full three centimeters.

After finishing the fish, the golden monkey led the human out of the cave. Though he originally wanted to ask where they were headed, he ultimately swallowed the question, simply following along behind it step by step.

The two of them sat side by side on the sofa, lowering their heads to quietly eat from their bowls with chopsticks. The silence felt oppressive, broken only by the occasional clinking of chopsticks against porcelain.

"Right, brother, where are you guys heading? This is Purnir," the driver said at this point, having already reduced the car's speed to somewhere between thirty and fifty kilometers per hour.

Though the man spoke casually, I could sense the earnestness in his tone, which inexplicably filled me with a sense of tension.

"I never imagined that wild bull was hiding its true strength all along. It's terrifying. If not for the defensive barrier of the Eastern Emperor Bell, that blow would have utterly shattered my demon core and destroyed my primordial spirit," the Golden-Winged Great鹏 bird said, still trembling with lingering fear.

"Forget it. We are brothers sharing the same trench; there's no need to draw lines between us anymore. Let's go," Futio Kazuo said calmly, shaking his head at Morii Kazuo.

The immortals answered in unison. After all, having a powerful city lord as their backing was ultimately a good thing for everyone in Yunmeng City.

Without waiting for Aso's reply, Fan Hu abruptly hung up the phone. He then sent a text message to Eagle, informing him that Aso might arrive here in ten minutes, and instructed his own men to get ready.

Seeing them enter, the swan was just about to retreat into the inner room to avoid them when she was grabbed by Gao Ziyu.

Naturally, Guan Xiao and the others refused to accept the gift. Xiao Jiuer even intended to pull the two of them along and run away using the same trick as before.

Ye Qianchong noticed his recent action of pulling the microphone away from his ear, and even saw that his eyes were filled with a sharp, profound hostility for a split second—so deep that even her reflection failed to reach the bottom of his pupils.

Following a violent crash came the harsh screech of tires scraping against the pavement, accompanied by panicked shouts of rage. At the same time, the Hummer was rammed sideways toward the cliff edge, smashing right through the guardrail.

It was a scene of utter chaos. Zhang Futao was failing in his duties, Lady Fu was ill, and Zhang Yan refused to manage the household either; the servants' hearts had all scattered.

Night fell very early as they gradually moved away from the city center. The lighthouse on the offshore reef shone brightly throughout the night, illuminating both the heavily guarded prison on the island and the surrounding waters. Consequently, even while traveling on the sea, one could only see the pitch-black canopy of the night sky.

After saving Wujin, the Scarves Group's reputation in Maya City plummeted instantly to "Hostile," while Jingyi, which had helped hunt Wujin down, earned a "Friendly" city reputation.

Separated only by their screens, the "Fight and Run" trio felt as though they had just been force-fed tons of dog food. The magnetic tone overflowing with screen-bursting sweetness and happiness broke the hearts of the three single men.

As everyone knew, he wasn't some legendary top scholar, but rather a man traveling to the imperial examinations with his cousin, who kept cozying up to their side on multiple occasions.

Therefore, Lan Wanxing's remark actually won her a lot of vocal support, striking a chord with many people who already held grievances against the ancient clans, prompting them to speak out in solidarity. Especially when recalled in connection with the earlier incident involving Chen Xiangfu, the arrogant and arbitrary image of the Zhunsun clan undoubtedly sank even deeper into people's minds.

It seemed as though Han Weihong had been coercing the second sister in this exact manner; he was so practiced at it that he struck him right along with her.

Su Wuxian was astonished. She glanced at Yan Xiyue, then immediately shrank back like a turtle hiding in its shell, stepping backward in an attempt to flee.

Wang Hao was extremely respectful. This Great Sage was clearly of human lineage, though it remained uncertain whether he was a sage of ancient times from the Profound Yellow Great World.
