Volume 1, Chapter 42: The Mist Dissipates, the Truth Emerges

Lin Fan stared at the array before him, its deep blue light flickering in his eyes as complex runes swam through his mind like tadpoles.

He took a deep breath, extended a finger, and gently touched a rune at the center of the formation.

Wu Mei tried to push Ye Xunhuan off her, but the moment she moved, a sharp pain shot through her, forcing her to gasp in agony.

If Liu Qingcheng were to go along, it would surely lead to a major disaster. For this reason, Liu Yiming would never allow her to accompany them, nor would he permit anyone else to follow.

"Hmph, since the Pure Yang Daoist himself has spoken, this matter shall be dropped. However, the grudge between him and me cannot be resolved in a moment, so..." Before he could finish his sentence, he turned and walked off the stage. It was clear that Ghost Face intended to give up, especially given that he had been under duress earlier.

Two days later, at six in the evening, Xing Guhun and his two companions finally finished all the preparations for Jiang Nan.

"Actually, Old Mother Li Shan is quite beautiful, big brother. Tell me, why didn't you try a little harder back then? Maybe she would have been my sister-in-law by now!" Sun Shangxiang said with a hint of reproach.

Qin Zheng felt a strange sense of wonder. He suddenly realized that in this world, it seemed all beautiful women were destined for short lives. Everyone around him—Feng Ling'er and Lin Xiyu—had lost their mothers in childhood. Keke's mother had died of illness, Gao Feiyan lived solely with her father, and now, it turned out that Chang Qing's mother had also passed away early.

Jun Suwan stepped forward. Her vision had only partially recovered and remained blurred, yet she could feel the ripples emanating from the Mysterious Turtle Shell.

Whirlwind Slash, Ultimate Skill effect: rotation radius increased by one hundred percent, knock-up effect increased to one hundred percent.

It was the first time he understood what it meant to be angry, and the first time he realized that when a person is truly furious, they cannot control their own tongue.

At this moment, Li Heibai and Li Wuchang were still feeling uneasy—not physically, but mentally. When the spirit binds were broken, the phantoms of those spirits had surged into their minds, leaving behind fragmented memories. They could not grasp what these memories meant, and this became a profound source of distress.

Hearing the system's reply, Qin Fang was slightly stunned. He had not expected Ying Zheng to arrange for Yang Tianyou to enter the Heavenly Dao directly.

Returning to the Randall family's tent, Sophia immediately began to change her clothes, right in front of Victor. Her actions eased Victor's gloomy mood somewhat.

She did not realize that throwing one was a mistake; since the first was a bullseye, how could she possibly hit the bullseye with all of the remaining eighty-seven?

"The Underworld City is where the various realms of the afterlife train Yin soldiers and generals to maintain the order of reincarnation!" the system's voice echoed in Qin Fang's mind.

"Just take it. The Matriarch and the Commander have been so good to us—it is our blessing. We should work even harder in the future to repay them," Ah Mei added, joining in to persuade her.

The atmosphere in the corridor was quiet; no one spoke. At this moment, even a needle dropping on the floor could be heard clearly. Xu Duoduo clasped her hands together and rubbed her fingers vigorously—a sign of her nervousness, though perhaps she hadn't even realized it herself.

"This triggered the oceanic invasion." As she spoke, Xi Ning opened the game process log and presented the screen to Mu Xun.

Some players who had just exhausted their stamina and come to watch the commotion were starting to feel tempted. The materials and gold they had earned from clearing dungeons had not yet been collected by Lin Wangchuan, and they began sending private messages one after another, with Coffee Forgotten discussing the details with them individually.

Belle was terrified, crying and calling out to those close to her for help. When she reached out to her master, Victor lifted her from the ground, and she clung to his neck, wailing loudly.
