Chapter 68: Seeking the Truth

From what initially started as a particle-sized ball of earth no larger than a palm, it had now grown to a width of dozens of丈. Although Wei Yan knew that the scope of this granular earth mass would expand each time he took action, he still had no choice but to intervene—he certainly could not let this granular earth swallow up Xi.

Wang Biao also abruptly opened his eyes. Staring at the deflected blade of light in utter disbelief, he likewise had no idea how such a thing could have happened.

The drunkard hurriedly pulled over a garment to replace the ragged one on his body, then picked up a cup of beer, poured it over his face, and wiped it away with his sleeve. Instantly, an extraordinarily delicate, strikingly handsome face tinged with a hint of allure was revealed to the crowd.

"Big guy, I'm leaving. Take good care of yourself when I'm gone. If I get the chance, I'll come back to visit you, and you mustn't forget me by then," Liang Dong said, stroking the soft fur on its body.

Jiangnan City was developing at a rapid pace, and the wealthy were dime a dozen. What was so special about running into a Lincoln on the street? Besides, the car Zhang Shiwei and Wang Lantao were riding in was no cheap commodity either. Much like Boss Xie's, it appeared to be a Bentley, though the model was slightly different, catering more to youthful tastes.

Advancing to a Five-Star Origin Scholar marked the formal beginning of Xu Zhe's journey toward becoming a powerhouse. The realm of a Five-Star Origin Scholar was a threshold, and not every Origin Scholar could cross it. The condensation of the origin core, in particular, required an immense expenditure of time and willpower.

"Bai'er and Qinghe will go together, A'ke and Hei'er with me and Tianyou. You all go in first, and we will follow shortly. We will regroup on Ziling's side," Bei Dou said as he handed disguise pills to Qinghe and Lan Ke. While Zhong Tianyou and the others could alter their appearances at will, they had to rely on external items.

Before long, Lin Feng, Nami, and the others arrived. Taking in the scene at the entrance, they first breathed a sigh of relief, which was immediately followed by a surge of anger. The reason for their relief was that, judging by the situation at the entrance, it had not yet attracted the attention of others, meaning things were still manageable.

"What are they trying to do?" Ma Xingyao asked again. Theoretically speaking, Ji Xuan could not possibly be unaware of this question.

Leaving aside the feelings of the others, Xu Zhe himself was already filled with anxiety. More than ten minutes had already passed, and with only a few minutes remaining before the twenty-minute mark, there was still no reaction from the future.

With a "clack," Su Zumu stepped forward and firmly closed the wide-open window from the inside, shutting out the remaining torrent of abusive jeers.

Yet it seemed truly excessive; even Gu Feiyi, a man who never looked at money, found his emotions affected.

Shen Fengli also understood that he had been too busy lately and might have neglected Qiao Qingxian, and he cherished this rare, quiet time for the two of them.

Out on the lawn, the crowd formed a large circle, enclosing the Mountain-Descending Tiger and Lin Feng in the center.

Li Gou ordered his subordinate soldiers to split to both sides, bow respectfully in unison, and watch as the group departed.

Empress Dowager Changde waved her hand, signaling all the attendants to withdraw. Once everyone was dismissed to the sides, she picked up the teacup beside her.

The front desk phone was extremely easy to get through to; almost the moment it was dialed, it was answered on the other end.

"You are always around, aren't you?" Zhaoyun looked at her eager expression and, upon closer inspection, felt she seemed somewhat plumper.

The streetlights on both sides of the school path cast a dim, amber glow as twos and threes of people strolled through the campus. She walked quietly, feeling an incomparable sense of tranquility in her heart.

"Arrogant, utterly arrogant!" Kai Shengnan's words plunged the surrounding crowd into a dead silence. No one had expected that Kai Shengnan, who had一直 remained silent, would be even more arrogant than Wang Lin.

Unable to accurately grasp Uchiha Obito's weaknesses, Killer Bee could only passively wait for Uchiha Obito to reveal his true form and attack, seizing the opportunity to counterattack then.

Such a terrifying defensive array—how could it be so easy to break? Aside from overpowering it with sheer force and launching a violent breach, there were simply no shortcuts to be taken.

Yet Tang Feng could already sense that the Emperor Bee Queen herself possessed strength on par with an Immortal Master. If he were intercepted by the five elite bodyguards, he would have no chance whatsoever to strike at the Bee Queen.

What a pity; he was simply too unlucky, successively provoking several grim reapers—Lin Yu, Ray, and Nie Tian. Injured and ambushed repeatedly within the span of three months, he died without ever getting a true chance to display his strength.

"How is it you have time to come back today? I even heard your grandmother say you moved back to your old hometown?" Fang He's mother asked.

"Calling command center, do we continue the attack? Calling command center, do we continue the attack?" The shouts of the fighter pilot coming through the communicator jolted everyone back to their senses.

However, making it peacefully onto a narrow racing track devoid of energy shields did not mean everything had stabilized. The contestants would still resort to various direct physical methods in an attempt to shove their competitors off the track. At this point, the entire race looked much more normal—truly transforming into bumper cars.

Wei Yan... No! It was Reeves! The appearance he had previously maintained through a disguise-like ability was entirely gone; half of his face was now covered in healed burn scars, making him look exceptionally gruesome.

"Very well, then what is your purpose in coming here? You don't seem to have mentioned it yet," Su Yuan tilted her head, only then remembering that Yuege had not stated the purpose of calling her true name.

Who knew what treasures or evil entities might be hidden within these ruins. Now that Bai Yishui had already charged ahead, Lin Yu did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"Marrying you is also a form of punishment, isn't it?" Lu Liting released his grip on her, his expression deeply gloomy.

However, by the time he reached this point, Zhao Gongming also felt somewhat exhausted, having executed intricate techniques several times over just moments ago.

Guided by the lawn lights, Feng Tingting pushed open the door, turned on the overhead light, and saw the two of them piled on top of each other, lying across the spacious sofa.

To put it more harshly, the villagers who had been tortured by those two thugs using such methods must have harbored intense hatred toward the person who came up with such a wicked scheme.

Initially, Xiao Mengzhun's performance fell short of Sun Buxi's expectations, failing to complete tasks and nearly getting fired.

"Uncle Sizhao, did they make you angry again?" The child pointed at the masked youth and asked.
