Chapter 60: Living
Everyone exchanged glances; though the words carried a hint of threat, they were undeniably reasonable. Chu Yuyao’s gaze fell upon Shangguan Yuheng, quietly thinking to herself that this heartless lotus never lets herself suffer—one sentence and she’s seized the authority to interpret “the Way” for herself.
“Shangguan Saint, your words are mistaken,”
A cool, clear voice sounded from the corner.
Su Qinghan had risen at some unknown moment, her white robe billowing without wind, her expression indifferent: “The sword’s path is straightforward, forging ahead without retreat. The Way is the hand…”
The antique dealer promptly plopped himself down in the empty seat beside Ning Tao, the heavy scent of alcohol wafting over.
Compared to its head, the shadow’s thigh was far less solid, so Mo Ruyan’s strike found its mark: most of the spear tip pierced into the joint and lodged there.
“A thousand bells?” Mu Yi was surprised; he’d thought the name was chosen at random, never expecting there truly were a thousand bells. What temple could possibly require so many?
The people from the Hall of Samsara were also fishing in troubled waters, but they didn’t venture further. Earlier, Chen Yuanye’s wave of a hand annihilated over a thousand cultivators, leaving them trembling with fear. They had hoped to eliminate Chen Yuanye, but did not anticipate his terrifying power.
When news of the monster’s location arrived, it indeed caused a stir, especially for Etsu井, who was going over the reports and looked utterly dejected.
Drained of all essence and spirit by the Ancestor of Ghosts, today’s Blade Emperor was barely holding on, his last breath of insight not yet extinguished.
From afar, Ning Tao spotted three furtive figures circling the Porsche parked on the wild outskirts, occasionally pressing against the windows to peer inside.
Since the police uniform’s upgrade, its energy had become abundant. Wu Yong had no need to worry about its power for now; since there were few cars on the street at four or five in the morning, Wu Yong enjoyed great convenience. CMQO could push the accelerator to its limit, racing ahead to catch up.
After holding Xie Xin’s arm in his hand for a moment, Ning Tao prepared to pull her from Yan Lixing’s embrace, ready to perform emergency treatment.
No one understood what the word “good” meant; they only saw the knife in his hand suddenly slash down.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Wu family still wielded influence, so Li He was somewhat restricted. Though the Supreme Emperor had abdicated, his influence lingered—at least with the new emperor.
This was likely another “curse” imposed by the Heavenly Principle upon those powerful enough to overthrow Teyvat’s order.
Xiao Tian’s face twisted into a vicious expression. He reached out, grabbed Li Fei’s throat, and pressed Li Fei’s face down onto the glass counter with one hand.
Only now did Luo Tiantian realize that not far from the golf course, there was a large musical fountain.
Though merely the magistrate of Xia Prefecture, a minor official, he was renowned for his talent and had the local governor as his backing. Even the prefect had to show him some respect.
After Ying was seized by the Heavenly Principle, her soul was drained away, her body divided and forged into the Heart of God. What remained was stored somewhere, plunging her into deep slumber.
It was still that suited man from before, looking utterly disheveled as he sat across from Chu Chao. The interpreter beside him wore a mortified expression.
A new beard had sprouted on his jaw, making him look more unkempt than usual. His shirt was wrinkled, likely from sitting in the same posture for too long.
It would not be long before countless Gates of the Underworld filled the entire scarlet road, fulfilling their role of severing the realms of the living and the dead.
But Jiang Kehao and Liu Qiaoqiao truly were lucky. From the first time the bear was tangled in the shrubs until now, many times they’d been nearly caught, but each close call allowed them to escape safely.
Following Zi Lingtian’s indication, Chen Li paused in surprise. At first glance, nothing seemed unusual, but upon closer inspection, she realized several items that did not belong in the garden had somehow appeared, blending seamlessly into the surroundings.
