Chapter 56

Tonight, the entire Azure Dragon State was destined to be a sleepless night. Long Ziyue raised her butcher's knife, utterly obliterating every single stumbling block in her path. It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the situation gradually calmed down, yet the bloody storm stirred up by her continued to rage across various parts of the Azure Dragon State.

An absolutely rational mindset would argue: why bother continuing to accumulate willful strength? Once consciousness has completely awakened, why still be disturbed by obsessions and labor in vain within the universe? One should simply cast off obsessions entirely, merge into the primordial origin of the universe, and thereby attain direct, immortal, and everlasting existence, coexisting with the universe and harmonizing with all things.

Yet Xiao Keqing remained uneasy. He summoned Xiao Tianya into his command tent and gave him a fresh round of earnest instructions, urging him to prioritize his safety above all else and to retreat immediately should anything seem amiss. If this young master were to suffer even the slightest injury, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"Hello." I did not know what else to say, but I offered a tentative response. The closer I got, the more she reminded me of someone, though I could not quite place it.

Of course, Zhu Zhixiang's doubts did not mean that Galaxy was intentionally playing tricks. Well, if one insisted on cosplaying Diarmuid, at the very least, the short spear ought to be one-third the length of the long spear. However, the two spears wielded by Galaxy did not feature such a drastic difference in length.

The birth of the natural will required countless years of condensation to initially take form, but once equipped with the souls of sentient beings, everything became much simpler. They would be carried by the great torrent of heaven and earth to wherever they were needed. Aside from being forged through the burden borne by sentient beings, the realm of legends could also be created by heaven and earth itself, provided there were sufficient resources.

"A veritable earthly paradise, truly a rare sight. If one day we grow weary of the world's treacherous malice, this place would indeed make an ideal sanctuary to escape society." Supporting Nalan Suxin, Li Haoran stepped up the bamboo-woven ladder to the second floor, unable to suppress a sigh of admiration.

An uproar erupted in the conference room, leaving even Teacher Hinoki dumbfounded. According to the records provided by the student council, the only ones who met the standards were Yukino Yukinoshita and Hachiman Hikigaya. Wouldn't that be equivalent to dismissing nearly all the executive committee members?

"What a wonderful sensation." Xiao Tianya narrowed his eyes, sensing the changes sweeping through his entire body. The terrifying power within him had slowly subsided, and his previously somewhat emaciated physique had grown noticeably sturdier. Even the nearly half-meter-long scar on his back had vanished completely, leaving behind only a patch of smooth, flawless white skin.

"Su Huanzhen! Prove to me that Zhuque Yundan's judgment was not in error!" Enduring his injuries, Tai Huangjun hurled a provocation.

"As the junior has come here, it is naturally to seek the whereabouts of Kua, and incidentally to trouble the senior to let us out. For this, Yanwu will be eternally grateful." Yanwu cupped his hands respectfully toward Qinglingzi.

Having lifted the taboo and regained her magical powers, the Holy Mother of the Golden Pool did not attack Yanwu; instead, tears streamed down her face. Yanwu was stunned, never expecting the Holy Mother of the Golden Pool to shed tears. This completely shattered the image of the cold and ruthless Holy Mother of the Golden Pool that he had harbored in his heart.

This time, unlike the return journey to Mausoleum City, no one blocked his path along the way. Mu Yi did encounter quite a few mercenary groups, some of which expressed varying degrees of interest in having him join them, but he politely declined all their offers. His priority was to reach Green Rain City as soon as possible.

The old man was no fool; having lived for decades, he understood everything long ago. He harbored a deep dread of that great demon lord. Every time he met its gaze, he felt his soul tremble. He knew that the other party was a towering figure of immense might, and he was certainly no match for him. Unless the former sect master stepped forward, probably no one else could rival him.

Above Xiao Yi's head, time passed unmeasured, until he finally opened his purple eyes.

Emperor Shitian transformed into a dragon and lunged toward Xiao Li. Rolling his draconic eyes, he unleashed a torrent of fierce flames toward Xiao Li. Blazing and ferocious though the fire was, it proved no match for Yanwu's flames and was instantly swallowed completely by the swirling black miasma radiating from Xiao Li.

Therefore, Mu Yi's gaze sharpened, and primordial energy surged wildly within him. He did not plan to use his spiritual power for the time being; he wanted to leverage the pressure exerted by the demonic beast to force a breakthrough.

"Section Chief Wang, you know the police department's policy, don't you?" Gan Liang pulled out a chair, sat down, and slammed the interrogation notepad onto the desk.

At high noon, Zhou Tian followed Zhou Kun's instructions and arrived promptly outside the patriarch's administrative hall. Pushing open the door, he was astonished to find Zhou Chufeng, Zhou Ling'er, Zhou Hannya, Zhou Mei, Zhou Xinyi, Zhou Yan, and even Zhou Hongtao all present.

With that, Shinji tossed the Pokéball in his hand forward. The white light dissipated, revealing a yellow figure on the battlefield, and the Pokéball returned to Shinji's hand.

As the lord of a city and the monarch of a nation, they ought to know what countries surrounded their own realm, or rather... they certainly knew what enemies lurked near their borders.

Rielu looked into Eic's calm eyes without even catching her breath. It seemed he genuinely possessed some combat skills.

For Ximen Qing, this was hardly a difficult task. Therefore, early the next morning, I took two thousand yuan out at the cash register, shoved it into the wallet, and with a solemn expression and an aching heart, handed the wallet and a smartphone to Ximen Qing. He Shen then gave him a brief tutorial on how to use currency and the phone.
