71. Rescuing, Searching, and Insiders
“Old man, do you recognize this person?” Ye Hanzhen asked with as gentle a smile as he could muster.
Yu Chongshan studied the portrait, which looked almost identical to the photo, glancing left and right before shaking his head. “No, I don’t recognize him.”
Ye Hanzhen pressed on, “You know Lin Feng, right? The leader of the Mind Sect?”
Yu Chongshan’s expression instantly grew intense. Grabbing Ye Hanzhen’s sleeve, he pleaded, “I know him. He deceived me. He said he could cure my wife’s illness, but he’s a fraud.”
Yet, unlike the jubilant young disciples bustling in the distance behind them, the three great leaders of the righteous path standing atop the clouds turned unusually grim.
True to their reputation as elders of the Fox Demon clan, the Ten Directions were not so easily caught off guard. With a cold snort, he summoned foxfire in his right hand, casting it like a curtain to block the starlight, while his left hand deftly snatched the ropes binding Song Xiwei.
“Don’t underestimate them as rookies. Their training is on par with that of regular soldiers,” the missionary remarked.
Among the three great leaders of the righteous path, two had already suffered losses at the hands of this mysterious and eerie demon. For a moment, the summit of Tongtian Peak fell silent with unease, while the beast demons roared in unison, their momentum and morale soaring.
Though an entire night had passed, all of Hell was still abuzz with tales of Chen Luo’s exploits. Everyone was eager to see when he would finally break into the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking.
The two remained there for a long while, only leaving at dawn. At that time, Duan had no idea that after the collapse of the Whirlpool Kingdom, its lands had been divided between the Fire Kingdom and the Water Kingdom. And now, this place would become—on the outskirts of the Water Kingdom, beside Taiping Village—a mass grave.
“You bastard, what the hell do you want? I could drop dead from a heart attack any moment!” Andy’s father looked at Jiang Zhen’s smiling eyes with a hint of fear.
On the back of the undead dragon, Chen Luo gazed down at the empty Heaven War Fortress below. Though puzzled, he did not hesitate. Once the magic crystal cannon charged, a beam shot forth without any defense, shattering the Heaven War Fortress into pieces.
He opened the suitcase and saw discs neatly placed in a wooden box. His eyes welled with tears. Many of these technologies must have cost immense sacrifices and years to acquire, yet now they were within his grasp so effortlessly—how could one not be moved to tears?
Xiao Yunfei’s expression was resolute as he stepped forward and reached out gently. With almost no exertion, the stone door slowly swung open, revealing an endless void.
Because the broadcast had been promoted beforehand, many viewers had long awaited it. As soon as it began, countless spectators flooded in.
“If I could exchange for a Type 99 tank, that would be an overwhelming advantage!” As a time traveler, Li Yunlong knew that the Type 99 was the main battle tank of the 21st-century Chinese continent, renowned for its superior performance—ranking among the world’s top ten.
The production team was baffled as well. Receiving so many inquiries late at night, it felt as if the entire world was searching for Zhao Qian.
Soon after, Zhao Liying led Chen Qiao’en to the bamboo grove. The others, seeing this, followed out of curiosity.
The coffin slowly opened, revealing the faces inside: none other than the First and Second Hokage.
Space—this would be the future arena of great nations’ contests and struggles, a realm brimming with limitless possibilities.
Upon arriving in Mingyang, the sky had already brightened. Seeing breakfast stalls set up, the three hurried eagerly toward them.
“I used to think what I ate wasn’t really food. This? This is food,” said Da Hei Niu Li Chen, sitting up with a look of pure bliss in his eyes.
“Heh, of course we’re going. We’ve arrived, so we’ll stay at Fuji,” he said. Fuji was an inn run by the Qian family, established for years with a large enough capacity to house nearly three hundred people. Here, on their own turf, they would be safe.
