142 Echoes of the Past 14

"Oh no!" Xuannán and the others cried out in alarm simultaneously. Xuannán and Granny Tan struck out with their palms almost at the exact same time, attempting to intercept and save Zhao Qiansun's life.

Gu Canghai was likewise a formidable alchemist. When it came to medicinal properties and pharmacology, his understanding was far more profound than that of the other two.

"Hmm..." Zuo Ran frowned slightly and began observing Song Li closely. Suddenly, he felt that although Song Li's body exuded demonic Qi, there seemed to be other faint auras lingering around him.

However, Ye Feng was far from comfortable. When the beast bone struck the giant ant, Ye Feng felt as though he had smashed against an indestructible divine rock. The tremendous rebound force numbed his arm and almost knocked the beast bone flying out of his grip.

Liu Han was still in shock, and Gu Wei also found it hard to believe. He had read about it in a rare, lost manuscript; a thousand years had passed since then, so surely it shouldn't be possible anymore.

Chang'an's eyes instantly lit up with brilliance. She wanted to ask when those few days would be, but felt too shy to voice it, so she simply gazed at Yan Qian with bright eyes and nodded earnestly.

What kind of act was Young Master Jiang putting on? Has he gotten addicted to cosplay? Is he playing the role of an innocent, harmless little boy now?

As long as Xu Zuoyan felt happy, Ye Kaicheng would let him do whatever he wanted. No matter what happened, Ye Kaicheng would always be backing him up from behind.

Channeling his magic power, Ye Feng separated a piece of primordial breath-soil from beneath the Creation Green Lotus, then beat, refined, and sculpted it, molding a clay figure in his own likeness.

Slowly, three or four hours slipped by. During this time, Xu Tian did not slack off for even a fraction of a second, channeling all his strength into repairing his injured body. By now, his body was completely unhindered and thoroughly healed, leaving him feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Relying solely on these top-tier combat forces, along with formidable generals of super-first-class caliber under their command such as Wan Annian, Di Xing, Luo Sanpao, and Yan Batian, they had forced Qin Huang to a decisive battle within a mere half-year, refusing to let Qin Mojun grow any stronger.

Who would have known that Lin Xiao showed no trace of fear? He raised his hand to block Qingyin's attack, his calm gaze fixed steadily on the newcomer.

"Brother Long, let's take a rest here for a while!" Finally, Lü Lingxin felt a bit tired and said to Long Yun.

Although many present did not know what the power of life truly was, the moment the heavy doors were pushed open, everyone felt as though they had suddenly grown a dozen years younger.

However, doubts still remained, because possibilities might only ever be possibilities; they could be true or they could be false, but they were not concrete facts.

Bang! The young man held his broadsword horizontally above his head, the tremendous force driving him down onto one knee.

He had been waiting at the city gates early to welcome the Dragon Divine Guards. Over these days, he had performed such official duties countless times, having sent off numerous detachments to the northern border garrison, while Yunzhou City itself had conscripted twenty thousand border troops to be exiled to the northern frontier.

Had she possessed even a shred of sobriety, given her intelligence, how could she have ever condoned Gu Mingrui colluding with Prince Yu and his remnants of old subordinates?

What Liu Dong was asking about, naturally, was whether Vulture had intimate relations with Ye Yiyi that night at the club.

Though Chang Yi deeply appreciated his diligence, he didn't show it outwardly. Kong Yihai, on the other hand, was much more generous, giving Liang Fei thirty-two thumbs-ups.

Cheng Hao's colleagues were clueless and looked on with guarded vigilance, asking what was going on. Just as Cheng Hao was about to answer, Kong Yihai hijacked the conversation.

How could he indulge Gu Mingrui to such an extent? Even if Gu Mingrui were to raise an army in rebellion, could he forgive him so easily?

Within the procession, horses neighed, and supply wagons creaked as their wheels ground against the hard ground. The knights gathered together for a final prayer before departure.

Thinking thus, and looking at Heng Yanlin before them, they stared at him with faces full of terror.

This wasn't Lin Nengjin's call; the most likely possibility was that it came from the provincial team. It was them—they must have been the ones who forced Chang Yi to leave her.

Suddenly, an unreasoning terror gripped her, as if a nightmare were slowly unfolding right before her eyes.

He turned his back to her, closed the door without taking any further action, and seemed to isolate himself in an entirely different world.

"Isn't it a bit too late? At this hour, she should have already finished moving out and returned the apartment!" Yan Luo Chen estimated the time and reminded him.

"Why haven't you put down your weapons yet?" Gu Weilin subsequently shouted coldly at the Imperial Collaboration Army and the Japanese gendarmerie.

Holding the receiver, Xia Chuyi couldn't help but shake her head, thinking to herself that her cousin was giving a textbook performance of what it meant to be utterly punchable.

This was an exceptionally good choice. Because whether to live or die rested entirely upon a single thought of his. If he still wished to cling to life in this world and enjoy wealth and glory, aligning himself with Qingcang was undoubtedly the correct path.

"But I don't want to take you as a disciple!" Feng Hua gazed straight at Yi Shuihan, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Witnessing the scene before him, Bu Feifan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he walked inside with a face full of pleasant surprise.

"...Thank you." Glancing at the blooming red rose, Ye Yuheng furrowed her brows, feeling it somewhat inappropriate. But since it was the other party's kind gesture, it wouldn't do to refuse. She simply took it and casually tossed it to Zhen Mu.

Later, Lü Yue requested that Ma Shan and Wen Liang join as well. Luo Xuan didn't know why Lü Yue made this request, and Lü Yue didn't offer much explanation, only saying that their participation would aid in finding the Xuanyuan Sword.

Temporarily setting aside the imperfection in executing the Soul-Detaining Hand, Mao Rui brought his hands together, trying to knead the two half-souls into one. Yet no matter how he kneaded them, the two halves refused to merge into a complete whole.

After leaving the office, Gu Weilin did not rush to transmit the intelligence. Jigao Zhi had only informed Gu Weilin alone regarding the military train's schedule. If it leaked from within the Political Security Bureau, Gu Weilin would be the prime suspect.

A nameless terror sprouted deep within Pantaywin's heart and rapidly spread to his soul. Without the slightest hesitation, Pantaywin forcefully shattered the elf's domain and hurried away. He could no longer stay; otherwise, there wouldn't even be anyone left to deliver a message to the Demon Emperor.

In the afternoon, Yang Guo'an held a brief meeting with Chen Gang and Ma Zhongliang, primarily to listen to Chen Gang's report.

Chu Tianxiong then realized that many people around them were looking at them with puzzled gazes. He hastily said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just had a nightmare and disturbed you all." Only then did the crowd turn back with expressions of dissatisfaction and confusion.
