Volume 1, Chapter 36: Finally Divorced!

(Page 1/3)

The four floating cannons fired a coordinated volley, but they were still a step too late. Their beams did not interrupt the ritual; instead, they struck an invisible wall. After the impact, a massive ring of light shot straight into the sky, causing the brightness within several kilometers to rise by three levels, white enough to dazzle the eyes.

Li Beichen, who had been sitting quietly indoors and concentrating on cultivating the Supreme Profound Golden Palace Heavenly Emperor Scripture, suddenly opened his eyes. A look of delight flashed from them.

On the supernatural livestreaming channel, Guo Fucheng’s popularity was indeed astonishing, and his reputation was excellent as well.

Of course, now that she was back, she could no longer escape even if she wanted to. This time, she had discovered that an additional floating pearl had appeared above the cauldron of boiling oil. It was said to be the Underworld’s latest invention, used to suppress evil ghosts and prevent them from escaping again.

Her voice was sweet, leaving Feng Qiang no way to refuse. Helplessly, he drank down a second bowl of wine.

The tent had been pitched not far from the wooden cabin. A bonfire burned before it, its flickering light illuminating the two faces in alternating brightness and shadow.

Though Wan’er’s power was formidable, her body was still physically real. Unlike Han Sen’s spiritual form as a Super Divine Spirit, she did not possess the ability to remain untouched by every kind of spell.

It turned out that Impermanence of White had received the news long ago. An unknown group was using mirrors as cover to abduct both living people and newly dead ghosts indiscriminately. He had hurriedly assembled his forces and rushed over, but their results had been painfully unimpressive.

At that moment, their junior fellow disciple was accompanying Rongrong as she wandered through the night market, sampling one snack after another. Then, quite suddenly, his communicator rang. He raised his hand and glanced at it.

The hand blade was one of a martial artist’s most commonly used techniques. Yet martial artists were extraordinarily powerful; a hand blade infused with stellar force was enough to cleave mountains apart.

At this thought, Mo Ke’s expression grew solemn. He quickly took out his phone and dialed Guo Li’s number. When Guo Li learned that Mo Ke had once again encountered an assassination attempt, she was stunned. During the previous attempt, Elder Huang had personally intervened. By all rights, the matter should already have been settled.

Luo Jianxin thought to herself, If I had known this would happen, I would never have come back. And now I have to run back again. What a torment.

“By the way, Jianxin, now that you’ve come, is there something you want to tell me?” Jin Heng asked Luo Jianxin.

The boy dropped out of school, worked as a child laborer for half a year, then gathered a few brothers and established himself in the night market, beginning with a street stall.

One had to understand that Mo Ke was barely in his twenties. If his birth records had not been thoroughly investigated, who would have believed that a young man in his twenties could already be a martial artist at the innate level? Martial artists often looked younger because of their cultivation, but Mo Ke was still far too young for it to be reasonable.

“Your information is certainly well-informed, sir.” Li Yan cast a glance at the two guards outside the military tent and immediately guessed most of the situation. This man was clearly no simple character. Despite holding only the status of a provincial graduate, he had extracted information from Li Yan’s subordinate in barely any time at all.

Take this great search of Sishui Commandery, for example. If handled properly, it could yield profits exceeding a hundredfold. If the officials above wanted to skim a little more off the top, they could simply keep the people detained for a few extra days. If that still was not enough, they could even arrange for the grain being transported along the road to suffer some mishap.

Her injuries were now completely healed. She wanted to compete as well. She could not keep watching Luo Jianxin take the field every day; she wanted to shoulder at least some of the burden for her.

The three members of the Education Committee wore black ceremonial robes. Such robes were reserved exclusively for those with the strength of Soul Douluo and above, and had to be collected from the Spirit Hall.

What had happened between her and Pei Zhi, anyway? It was merely the ordinary way friends interacted with one another. Could even that be turned into a topic of discussion?

The more she hid herself and let Pei Yan come forward, the more they would believe that she was afraid of them.

Bo Cong nodded toward the chest in the corner of the room. Meng Xiaomei then ordered the guards to push it aside.

Although she could not solve this problem, Xia Jinkui would certainly fare even worse. Since she wanted to make things difficult for herself, he might as well grant her wish.

“What are you talking about?” Li Linxiao’s face flushed, just as Xia Rujin’s had moments before, her embarrassment so transparent that it could be pierced with a single poke.

By the time Xia Qing woke up, Chen Shen had fallen asleep again. The first thing she saw was his short hair.

Tong Yao could not understand where things had gone wrong. Pei Yan had clearly cared for her deeply, worrying over her as though his heart might break.

The driver was one of the two men who had protected Shuangshuang when their entire family had climbed the Great Wall that time.

Heaven knew how much it tormented her. Her son had originally been healthy, but after retiring from the army because of illness, his health had never recovered. He would wheeze whenever he spoke and cough through entire nights without sleep. The doctors all said that his illness could not be cured and that he could only recuperate slowly. It had become a constant source of anxiety for her.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Rujin’s voice sounded terribly panicked, so Xiao Beize dropped what he was holding and hurried over.

After the Shadow Plane was dealt with, Allen’s floating city continued to be built little by little. More than two thousand wizard apprentices were already working there, amounting to one-fifth of the apprentices at the Five-Ring Tower.

The next day, Qiao Dongyang took Chi Yue to inspect the Moon Dock project under construction. Assistant Hou and Tiangou accompanied them. Chi Yan had originally wanted to go as well, but Chi Yue stopped her.

“I understand, Master. I’ll make the arrangements.” Selena gently pressed her hands against Allen’s body.
