Volume 1 Chapter 52: Choice
Hu Yong and Chen Shanfeng did not return until the afternoon of the next day. The moment I saw their expressions, I knew that what was bound to come had finally arrived.
A short while later, Luo En met the bewitching magical princess, though not within the academy, but at the Princess Tavern just outside its gates.
Along its trajectory, it might encounter the resistance of the air, and its course might shift slightly due to the speed of the wind. Yet it would never suddenly stop. Until its momentum was completely exhausted, until it finally penetrated the target and met an insurmountable barrier, it would not cease its advance.
One must understand that, according to the memories of the world's castaways integrated by Zhang Tianyang, the knowledge gathered by Senior Black Qi regarding this world was merely a drop in the ocean. The true Elemental Continent was far more vast than anyone imagined, and regions such as the continent south of the South China Sea were not even recorded.
The once lively Jian family villa, having bustlingly changed hands, had grown empty and desolate once more, with only two poppy flowers continuing to thrive in the garden.
Following the Zhoushan shipwreck incident last time, we had recovered a bizarre blueprint from the wreckage. The front of the blueprint depicted the Shen family treasure, while the back showed a set of eerie armor. Mr. Hong subsequently began investigating this matter, and with his capabilities, he was bound to unearth some information.
Listening to the Fire Qilin's reply, Long Tian could not help but be amused. It was sparing his life simply because of his bizarre attribute? Such a reason was truly absurd!
With that, under Zhan Ming's encouraging gaze, Jing Peng stepped forward and stood in the center between the two sides. His expression turning frosty once more, he spoke coldly to Qi Yue: "Qi Yue, the outcome between us was not decided just now. Let us continue right here." Having said that, Jing Peng pointed the sword in his hand directly at Qi Yue.
As Xueer and her companions passed by the home of Meowmei's parents, what met their eyes were similarly collapsed houses and trees cleaved cleanly in half.
"You damned fatty, you are in big trouble, you are in huge trouble!" Xu Yan raged, speaking with utmost seriousness.
Throughout the journey, the entire group had been utterly exhausted. First came the relentless travel, followed by evading the pursuit of the Demon God Sect. Every sect disciple had reached their absolute limit, and the moment they settled down, they collapsed onto their beds, and Lin Tian was no different. Yet, after lying in bed for a brief moment, he forced himself up, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes in deep meditation.
Hearing Hongyan's voice, Yingluo lifted the red bridal veil from her head and ran out from the inner chamber. Gazing at the battered and bruised Hongyan, her tears instantly flowed like a broken stream.
"How is it? Are you getting used to it?" Fang Li asked, acting precisely like a central government leader inspecting the grassroots level.
As his status climbed step by step, facing these traitors of yesteryear, Lin影 remained composed, but as for employing them once again? That was utterly out of the question... What use was there in keeping fence-sitters around?
Li Siyi was also stunned. She cast a surprised glance at Fu Yan, looking as though she had breathed a sigh of relief, yet simultaneously ill at ease. Remaining silent, her expression was rather complex.
He also knew that the core of the illusion array was the key to breaking it; once the core was found, all problems would be effortlessly solved. Now that Ji Fengkang had rushed into battle unprepared and become trapped within the formation, it would be a tragic injustice indeed if he were to be trapped and killed there over time.
Yu Fan was an honest person, unlike others who played mind games. Upon hearing what Hui Deyuan said, and after a brief moment of reflection followed by a glance at Zhuang Shiyun's comically winking face, he decided not to bicker with him.
Her heart ached more and more, her chest grew increasingly oppressed, and her hands and feet began to cramp as bulging veins stood out on her skin. She collapsed onto the ground, her vision turning pitch black. Tormented to the brink of death with a pain that pierced straight to her bone, she finally came to understand the literal meaning of being unable to live yet unable to die.
