Volume One, Chapter 23: A Daughter Cannot Bear This Guilt

Qu Feiluan understood her temperament and did not try to persuade her to stay, instead pointing out the location of Xiao Jingguan directly.

Shen Maolin’s words were harsh, but Shen Qingyue noticed that although he was gripping a gun tightly, his hands were trembling. In such a state of tension, he clearly lacked the nerve to actually pull the trigger.

Meanwhile, standing silently on a mountain peak, Chen Ge had empty eyes; no one could tell what she was truly experiencing. She walked listlessly toward the abyss and jumped without a moment's hesitation.

"My blood sugar is a bit low," He Dazhuang lied. Xu Ye reached into his pocket, pulled out a chocolate bar, and handed it over. He Dazhuang took it, and before he could even put it in his mouth, he feigned recovery, perked up, and continued his questioning.

In truth, the fairest method would be to divide the Spirit Illusion Plains into five parts, with each party occupying one area. However, Buddha Baiyu dismissed this fairest of methods with his very first sentence.

Little did they know, Ye Mingzhu had long since infused the power of the Five Elements and a trace of fused exotic flame into her swordsmanship. Its power was more than ten times greater than before, which was the only reason she could withstand Yue Ji’s attacks.

Relying on the advantage of his body’s intangibility, Obito ignored the various traps and walked as leisurely as if he were strolling in a garden until he reached the Forbidden Technique Scroll, which he picked up with eager anticipation.

At this moment, in the direction of Dongye Yuan, heads were rolling across the ground; as far as the eye could see, there wasn't a single intact Strange Demon left.

"You can't drink this beverage; it contains alcohol." She had ordered it at random, but when she saw the bartender preparing the drink just now, she clearly saw him adding cocktail ingredients to it.

"Heh heh! Some things are better left unsaid. Besides, what you see is only a fraction of it. When you realize the true extent of the Evil God Palace’s power, I suspect you won't have any desire to resist!" Wei Zidan smiled slightly and spoke.

After scalding the towel with hot water, I brought the water and the cloth into the room to wipe Bai Liunian’s body.

When Bai Yao arrived at the square with Nie Haiming, Lan Xinyi led a dozen people to greet them, treating Nie Haiming and his group with considerable courtesy. At this moment, Lie Haishan, Nangong Yan, and Dong Yu were deep in thought, communicating secretly through glances; it was unclear what they were plotting behind the scenes, but they appeared to be harboring ulterior motives.

Bai Yao smiled helplessly. Ye Xin was good in every way—loyal and generous, and although he was cynical, he knew where to draw the line. He only had one flaw: he was too obsessed with wealth. Still, it wasn't a major fault, and Bai Yao didn't take it to heart.

After reaching the Great Tang, this Sogdian merchant caravan did not stop in Dunhuang. They traveled eastward, intending to go to Liangzhou City to trade directly with the Central Plains merchants who had traveled from the interior to buy goods there.

In this realm, there was only one person qualified to be called Master by both Bai Yao and Lei Ming: the Sword Immortal Liu Yunfei. He was the only one in this world who would constantly use rough, bandit-like language and refer to himself as "your father"—it was his signature catchphrase.

However, if anyone were to truly jump out and kill Liu Zhengfeng with a single finger right now, I fear... heh heh heh, the various sects present today would unite to hunt that person to their death.

I did not know if he understood the young man's words or if he was moved by some intuition, but at that moment, I could not afford to stop him and hurriedly gave chase.

East of Yanzhi Mountain, all the way to Liangzhou City, wooden tracks had been laid; beyond Liangzhou City to the east, there were no tracks.

"Damn it! Take it back and study it properly." The young master made his decision, reached out, plucked the heart-shaped pendant, and tucked it into his storage bag.

As he spoke, one of the police officers pulled out a pair of gleaming handcuffs and stepped forward to restrain Lai Jianguo and take him away.

He was actually a man of deep feeling, and it wasn't that he didn't want to grow old with Fang Yan. But life, clearly, could not proceed according to its original blueprint; it was fickle and ever-changing. Human desires were endless, and the tighter one tried to bind them, the more uncontrollable they became when eventually indulged.

"You are from Qiantian." The Beast King finally realized that he had encountered a formidable opponent this time. He wanted to rally the others in the beast camp to unite against a common enemy, but in the hearts of those in the camp, all members of Qiantian were sworn enemies, destined for a life-or-death struggle upon meeting.

"Snake Four, I’ll choose first. I want..." Snake Five spoke from the side in a sinister tone, his arm already raised.

At this moment, within the formation, another chapter was unfolding. At the very instant the Exotic Flame Spirit Beast perished, Dongfang Qingcheng seemed to sense it, but she remained slightly silent, expressing nothing.

"Fine! It seems I must drink this wine, whether I want to or not? Very well, I’ll drink it!" A cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he picked up a glass from the coffee table and clinked it gently against Xiao Feng’s.

One could see a hundred-zhang-high platform covering a thousand acres floating silently in the void. In the center of the platform stood an immaculate white jade pagoda, with a golden lotus sarira suspended high above, radiating boundless Buddha light that illuminated the great thousand worlds. It was the very same sarira pagoda that had been shattered into dust by Wang Chen’s Purple and Azure Twin Swords just a moment ago.

"Continue, continue! You don't think you can just tell a joke and brush me off, do you? I'm not that easy to deal with!" As soon as Kamiya Haruko saw Ichimaru Gin act this way, she grew angry, her "claws" reaching slowly toward him.

This passage was relatively simple, teaching the young master the principle that "wherever there is human life, things are the same"; no matter which sky one is under, the Dao of nature applies.

Was this revenge for the way he had teased her that day? If so, she would have come days ago; there was no need to wait until tomorrow.

Drugs were rampant here, and guns were everywhere. If you didn't hear a few gunfights a day, you weren't a true Mexican.
