Chapter 56: Letting go is letting go, what's the big deal anyway

While Li Yunchen was lost in doubt, the Gate of Darkness descended, making the earth tremble. This was also an ancient divine artifact, filled with dark power. Legend has it that this gate, also known as the Gate of Hell, is the entrance leading to the netherworld.

It took two or three breaths for Xu Qi to regulate the true Qi and magic power within his body. As he looked at the five cultivators from the Hundred Ghosts Cave, the Sovereign Demon of the Free Mind within him spun slightly, allowing him to sense the chaotic emotional fluctuations coming from those five individuals.

The demonic monk of the Xuanming Temple tossed the black prayer beads in his hand, transforming them into a streak of dark light that shot toward Li Yunchen. Just as Li Yunchen was about to deploy his demonic bell for defense, the prayer beads were intercepted halfway and then bounced back by sword Qi.

The two sides were not far apart, and the opponents clearly had not noticed the approach of Shao Heng and the others, continuing to hum to themselves and chat with their companions.

"Who wants your pity! Even if I die, it has nothing to do with you!" Mi Dou said in a fit of pique, walking straight ahead without looking back.

Guessed Shao Heng's current plan, Ning Qingjun felt as though a fire was burning in her heart. There was the helplessness of being unable to do anything, but even more so, worry and fear.

The court's silence made rumors spread wildly throughout the city. Every day, people discussed the current situation, bluntly stating that a bloody change might take place in the Sky City. For a time, everyone felt a sense of impending crisis, and many chose to abandon the city and flee.

"Who... who are they?!" Gu Yun stared wide-eyed at the battlefield, watching how the originally overwhelming advantage was reversed in an instant with the arrival of three figures.

Prior to this, Shao Heng had relied on this bead solely to alter his appearance and temperament and to conceal his figure. Other than that, it had no other uses.

Lao Junyu gritted his teeth and retrieved a piece of silvery-white metal from his spatial ring. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be half a mirror.

"You should know who the culprit behind all these consequences is." Unwilling to speak further with her, he raised his hand with a wave, and the few men surrounding Qiu Lingyang closed in on her.

This posture made it somewhat difficult for Qiu Lingyang to breathe, and she instinctively moved to push him away.

She sat listlessly at the head of the bed, picked up a magazine, and flipped through it casually, yet not a single word registered in her mind.

The medical staff member who was comforting Rui'er had only acted out of pure kindness upon seeing Rui'er cry so pitifully, never expecting that it would backfire and provoke such a strong reaction from the child.

Seeing that Ye Zhengkai had beaten Chu Dayong and injured him, Liu Tong was very angry. There was nothing between her and Chu Dayong at all; she had already informed Chu Dayong that she had a lover. Chu Dayong had then promised to stop pursuing her and simply treat her as a good friend and younger sister, on the condition that Liu Tong would not ignore him.

Outside, there was finally a slight movement—the sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by brightly burning torches.

"I heard the news that there wasn't a single survivor; it looks like an order for execution was issued," Ye Zhen added with a soft sigh, watching quietly as Yelu De's complexion alternated between pale and ashen.

Just when he thought he was about to succeed, she suddenly calmed down, and within the blink of an eye, she acted as though nothing had happened at all.

Although no one had served the Queen for the past year, she still kept her bedchamber neat and fresh.

A few days later, learning that Liu Tong and Chu Dayong had disappeared from the hospital and had been secretly transferred, Ye Zhengkai was naturally furious.

"However, Puma's most valuable assets happen to be these two hundred core patents and five hundred cutting-edge equipment units. The rest of the assets are not particularly urgent for our needs," said Yang Haifan.

The buck-toothed man was just about to curse again when the long-haired man beside him raised his hand slightly, startling him into shutting his mouth immediately.

Amidst this, he also signaled to Lu Chen, taking the Fire God Staff and handing it over for the old chieftain to examine.

"Is that so? What else did he say?" Yan Han asked while blinking at Feng Shuacheng. Feng Shuacheng understood instantly that the "Old Kang" Zhou Ting mentioned must be Kang Haidong, whom he had just met. Remaining silent, he waited for Yan Han to draw more information out of Zhou Ting.

"What do you mean by living our lives?" Du Xiaodi asked in surprise, not quite understanding what Feng Shuacheng was referring to.

On the path of the Grandmaster, concerning the progress of the second core aperture of the three fundamental aperture techniques, he had very likely taken a solid step forward.

"This has nothing to do with me; it was all Kong Ling's idea." Yining directly shifted all the responsibility onto Kong Ling.

No, even before the dark period passed, following the withdrawal of the Mage Guild and Banana's solo trip to Nanhe County to smooth things over, the Steps Mountain City here had entered an orderly routine.

Grandma Mo knew that Mo Wu was filial, but she was very well aware of her own condition—her time left... was truly not much.

Whether in her past life or this present one, and no matter the type of shop, as long as you saw greeters at the entrance and even another batch of greeters inside the door, there was no doubt that the profits of this establishment were likely quite substantial.

Douding tried hard to straighten his frail body, but as his stomach emitted a loud rumble, his imposing manner instantly vanished.

The sound of wind and snow mingled with the thundering of hooves; no one could make out what the general was shouting. It wasn't until he leaped off his horse and used his Water-Fire Imprisoning Dragon Staff to sever the head of Fuxi just before the latter could cut off Leng Buyun's head that the words of the galloping general finally became clear.

Clearly, Ayang had not heard what he wanted to hear from Lin Xueyao's lips, and naturally, he was far from satisfied.

Eating Chongyang cake during the Double Ninth Festival is a tradition for the people of Jiangyin. The Chongyang cake is refined from high-quality milled rice flour, garnished with sunflower seed kernels, black sesame seeds, and shredded radishes. Soft, glutinous, sweet, and fragrant upon the first bite, it is delicate and does not stick to the teeth. Waking up early, Fan Zhao ate two pieces of Chongyang cake and went climbing Xiang Mountain with Chen Huishu and Qiu'er.

Qin Ruyun's eyes were tightly closed; during the period of her coma, she was well aware of what was happening in the outside world, yet no matter how hard she tried, she could not manage to open her eyes.

Mo Li had almost no appetite either. What was wrong? He kept glancing at Lin Xueyao out of the corner of his eye, constantly observing her mood, leaving him completely devoid of any desire to eat. This meal was merely going through the motions, best described as tasting food without truly registering its flavor.

Having issued his military orders, Long Mu hurriedly descended from the watchtower to personally oversee the battle. He thought to himself that Duan Lang's reinforcements had arrived, yet not a single shadow of the Xiyue troops was to be seen. With only a little over thirty thousand troops at his disposal, Long Mu knew he could never withstand Zhou Long's assault. If he were to sacrifice these thirty thousand troops as well, Wu Bolhan would undoubtedly wipe out his entire clan.
