Chapter 74: Shards of the Future-With a Dimensional Chat Group in Hand, the Doomed Side Character Soars to Immortality(Ephemeral clouds and fleeting winds, like the tinkling of wind chimes in passing moments.)

The final three bolts of tribulation lightning struck Wei Yunxi down, leaving her robes in tatters, barely covering her vital parts. Her consciousness was growing dim. Yet Yunxi knew this was the critical moment. She mustered her remaining spiritual sense, pulled out a third-tier array disk from her storage pouch, and shielded herself, then lay flat, beginning the struggle against the rampaging power of thunder within her body.

The old man who had been watching the whole scene twitched at the corner of his mouth, gaining a new appreciation for the girl's stinginess.

Lotus had been injured yesterday, so today it was Lin Qingxuan and Hua Xiangrong who prepared breakfast. Hua Xiangrong's culinary skills were truly remarkable—surpassing Lotus by a notch, yet just a shade below Lin Qingxuan. The dishes she made were delicious feasts.

"You must remember that your mission this time determines whether that family will continue to support us. We’re already at a disadvantage; if we lose their backing, we’ll fall completely behind," Tang Feng said, nodding emphatically.

Lin Yumeng seized the opportunity to dash into the cave. The Grand Elder of the Ancient Immortal Clan, enraged, raised his hand, sending another signal flare skyward. The Dragon King frowned upon seeing it—reinforcements had arrived again. Who would come this time?

"You!" Xu Shiheng roared, shoving aside the crowd around him, and struck out with a powerful palm.

The Yellow Emperor was deeply worried. He had not eaten all day, and though everyone urged him to take some food, their efforts were in vain. Even the royal consort, Lei Zu, was gently refused.

"Heh, we’re brothers, aren’t we? Talking about money just damages the bond. If you ask me, just forget it. All those spirit herbs and medicines—I haven’t had a pill in decades. Do you happen to have any? Give me a few to try," the Elephant King said shamelessly, almost shoving his face into the Viper’s arms.

"That’s perfect. Before the rest of the South Sea Gang arrives, why don’t we take the opportunity to eliminate Hu Wei and utterly crush the South Sea Gang?" Zhaxi Duoji suggested, his brothers echoing his sentiment.

After eating, everyone dispersed. Back in her room, Ye Luhuan collapsed onto the couch, simply muttering how exhausted she was.

"Xiaoyue, you’re so good to Brother Tianqi. I don’t even know what to say," Li Tianqi said sincerely.

The White Tiger, already aware of the power of the blue light, dodged quickly. Certain he could not win, he dared not linger and slipped away swiftly through the grass.

At first, Zhang Xueying didn’t mind—after all, everyone sends messages sometimes. But after several days, she became frustrated, especially after learning the sender was Lu Libei’s sister; her unease only deepened.

Fortunately, none of them lost their reason or became obsessed with cultivating simply because of the rich spiritual energy here.

Never worn, yet carefully stored away—not because it was precious, but because it held special memories.

In an instant, the door was pulled open from within. Teacher Su, beaming, glanced sidelong at the young man before her, raising an eyebrow.

Yanxiang spoke with sincerity and reason, her words deeply moving. Li Chourong was left speechless, simply nodding in silent agreement.

Earlier, Chiba Yu had asked so many questions, all circling around the great fire of that time, clearly worried she might have learned something.

Because she understood, she did not, like those ignorant people online, make shallow and mindless accusations.

For more than twenty years, the Crown Prince had vanished without a trace. If he were still alive, he would be the greatest threat to Hong Cheng'an’s succession. Moreover, if this matter was exposed, she and the Prime Minister would face disaster.

Standing on tiptoe, she looked around, but all these people were out after dinner, strolling to admire the moon. Many shops were opening tonight, offering grand opening discounts, making the street even more crowded and leaving Chiba unable to see anything at all.

General Guo Wei, commander of the guerrilla forces, reminded everyone, "It’s not just the Rongmi army; we must also beware of surprise attacks from other Western states. Over thirty thousand soldiers facing all of the West—it’s truly difficult." Guo Wei was not a Jiang faction general and was unfamiliar with Jiang Anyi’s arrangements in the West. Alone and surrounded by formidable enemies, he could not help but feel anxious.
