Volume 1, Chapter 55: A New Rival in Love

After taking the medicine, Su Wuyang drifted into a hazy sleep and found herself dreaming again. In her dream, she and Qin Fangbai went on a countryside outing. As they drove across a bridge, for some unknown reason, the bridge suddenly broke, and their car plunged straight down.

"Ha ha ha, exactly! Someone’s throwing a banquet; let’s have a good drink to celebrate," Lord Zhang said with squinted eyes, looking at Jiang Yanming with a smile. Jiang Yanming quickly agreed, while Madam Lai hurriedly rose to give instructions.

On the east and south sides of the main burial area stood several apartment buildings, perfectly blocking the view from Charter Street, providing Ye Tian with ideal cover.

Under Tianbao’s control, the Mercedes wobbled as it left the courtyard. After less than a kilometer on the highway, Tianbao had become familiar with the controls, and the car sped swiftly toward the city.

Moments later, the deafening explosion finally ceased, but the agonizing screams—some on the brink of death—only grew more numerous and piercing.

Above in the sky, a colossal bird blotting out the sun soared across, its entire body shimmering with golden light as if cast from pure gold. Its immense size was astonishing, like a golden cloud rushing by, obscuring the sun and shadowing the heavens.

He didn’t specify the exact location over the phone. Su Wuyang felt an inexplicable worry, quickly changing clothes and rushing out the door in urgency.

In truth, the situation before her hadn't changed much; only the balance of power between the strong and weak had completely reversed.

Amid the indistinct noises, there were giggles and laughter, disordered footsteps—someone had arrived. Who was it?

Seeing this, Jiang Chen let out a cold snort, then lightly stomped his foot. Suddenly, the two lines of blood-red characters on the General’s Platform reflected vividly in the sky.

After briefly pausing in the village to observe its surroundings, Zhou Wutian hurriedly left.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in Lingmei’s mind—a white-robed figure billowing in the wind, wearing a charming smile that captured her heart. Wasn’t that Rhein?

Yu Meixi was startled by Duoduo’s words. Could it really be as she feared? Yet she did not directly confirm such matters but instead corrected an even graver mistake made by Duoduo.

"There are many weapons and provisions stored at the Uber Lake garrison. The 500,000 sharp arrows bought from the Wiche Kingdom are also kept there. Did big brother really hand them over to the Zheng people?" Tizhu promised to allocate 150,000 arrows to him, causing Lieman to wince in pain. Those supporting Lieman quickly voiced their agreement.

After washing up, she carefully inspected the herbs in the garden and found nothing amiss. She donned her still-damp blue robe, shouldered a yoke, and carried wooden buckets toward the mountain stream behind the hill, beginning a new day.

"I'm sorry, this ocean storm was just too severe. We did our best, but ultimately we were powerless!" In a rain shelter on a coastal high ground, the leading cultivator expressed regret.

"You caused such a commotion, I don't even know what to say..." Sun Yuan's earlier thoughts had been completely disrupted by Zete.

The scenery here was pleasant, with mountains and water. Not far ahead stood a classical tall building, and at its entrance was a crowd. Upon seeing us, they began walking over.

Liu Dingtian no longer insisted. Having said so much, everyone understood the situation—there was no other way.

At the same time, a lone, slender figure appeared in the sky. Compared to the towering, sky-darkening monsters, this one looked so frail and weak.

"I'm saying the sixth generation opened the seven realms with massive manpower to support them. What do you have? This barely alive sect?" Feng Lin shot him a sharp glance.

"Song Jia died smiling, Wang Ge chose to die for love. They may not be the true beauties of the world, but in that moment, perhaps they were happy."

Su Mu once sensed this terrible power in the elder of the Tian Youming Sect—the terrifying might unleashed with a flick of the hand remains vivid in Su Mu’s memory. He couldn’t fathom why such a powerful spirit beast existed here; no one dared breathe loudly, fearing to anger this towering beast like a mountain.

If at this moment Li Mingxue still wore the ugly disguise from before, Ma Tian surely would not be suspicious. But Li Mingxue’s current appearance matched exactly what Ma Tian had encountered in illusions, leaving him astonished, yet neither frightened nor intimidated.

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed, including Liu Shuyun. Seeing everyone’s cheers, especially Liu Shuyun’s look of admiration and reverence, Tian Yingran felt overjoyed, filled with the strength of guidance.

Since arriving at the Zhuang residence, I have been working hard, so my originally healthy body has become even stronger after all the training.

She injured her soul by forcibly using magic. One of her seven souls shattered. Fortunately, as a deity, she could absorb spiritual energy from the world and reassemble the broken fragment within herself.

Upon entering the city, Qing Yue insisted on following Yun Hua back. Seeing that the Regent Prince did not object, Yun Hua had no choice but to agree.

Just as Luo Wusheng’s forehead dripped with sweat like rain, a faint, familiar face appeared in her blurred vision. At that moment, all her resolve instantly crumbled. She stared blankly at that familiar face, tears uncontrollably streaming down. That face was like a sweet spring in a desert parched for days.
