Volume 1, Chapter 57: Brew Medicine for the Wounded Using Spiritual Spring Water!

Just that morning, he received a phone call from Dai Zhang, who informed Xiao Han that Cao Shangkun had been hospitalized at the Second Provincial Hospital due to heart disease. Dai Zhang had recently been promoted to vice chairman of the Liaocheng People's Congress. Nearing retirement age, this appointment served as a convenient prestigious title for his resume.

"It's coming!" I cried out inwardly. The heart-shaped flame suddenly burst with a brilliance hundreds of times brighter, transforming its previously modest glow into an intensely dazzling glare. The heart shape expanded rapidly, and so did the magical energy. Yet, this was merely the prelude to the Centrifugal Fire; its true might had not yet been unleashed!

Ling Ding's inner strength was already profound. Ranked in the martial arts world, he would undoubtedly place in the top ten. With such mastery, combined with a forbidden ultimate technique, his internal potential was completely unleashed. A single palm strike possessed a majestic force that surely no one under heaven could block.

To mobilize such a massive array meant gathering virtually all the elite masters of the Demon Clan. What on earth were they plotting? Shi Zhi Ling was consumed by curiosity. Although lingering in the Heavenly Demon Palace for even a single second longer multiplied the danger, Shi Zhi Ling resolved to lurk within the palace to hear the whole story and find out the truth!

Shouts, screams, and cries for help plunged the already chaotic magic city into an even greater state of disorder.

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed, followed by a harsh, grating screech. The gates connecting the Reincarnation Hell to the Netherworld Blood Sea—sealed for ten thousand years ever since the last battle of the underworld—slowly swung open. An unrivaled, violent murderous aura surged forth from the center, instantly unleashing howling dark winds and the mournful shrieks of ghosts.

"Go." Yi Zhi felt a warmth and comfort so extraordinary in his body that he momentarily lost his senses. With another bow of profound gratitude, he sprinted down the mountain.

This thought merely flashed through everyone's minds before being instantly replaced by overwhelming terror.

Shanshui and Yi Zhi flew behind him in mid-air. Shadow entities could not venture beyond a certain radius from their hosts, so as Xisa sped along, that invisible force dragged them flying in his wake.

Yunxiao spoke to Li Song about the tale of Bai Suzhen, saying, "By now, that Bai Suzhen has already reached the mortal realm of Hangzhou. I suppose it won't be long before she crosses paths with Zhang Bainian." As she recounted this, a relaxed, carefree smile hung on Yunxiao's face, and she made a playful face at Li Song.

She knew she had run out of alternatives. If even the Xie family refused to relent, it would be forcing her straight to death's door.

Ding! System Notification: The first defense line of the Darkness Faction has been breached. Darkness Faction players are urged to fall back and defend immediately.

Her expression turned gloomy for a fraction of a second, but the next moment, her knife-like gaze swept across Jiang Ling and Chunlan once more. Waving her hand as if she didn't care in the least, she spoke.

Yao Ming, acting as the team leader, cast a radiant smile toward the Russian delegation. Kirilenko, the leader and captain of the Russian team, immediately returned an awkward yet polished smile.

Given the current situation, unless these top-tier factions exhausted one another through a few rounds of conflict, his hopes were truly slim.

Kisame was different. This fellow, who loved wielding Samehada to hack down foes, had been rated by Lord Orochimaru as the strongest Water Release user of the current era, surpassing even the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi.

Kakashi was far more direct. Leaping abruptly upward, amplified by the All-Heaven Vitality Technique, his right hand—shrouded in the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and crackling with electricity—blasted toward the gigantic fireball.

With such dashing and elegant bearing, and looking at most a little over twenty years old, how could he possibly be Cui Jiuzhen's father?

Until she reached the vicinity of a large tree... She first scanned her surroundings tentatively, then slowly unfolded the paper.

The figure in white slowly stepped forward, casually casting two recovery spells to fill Nameless's health bar to maximum, before turning a gaze tinged with a trace of hatred toward Ma Jun.

However, at this moment, she still suppressed the excitement in her heart. It would not be too late to devour Wen Rutong and Tan Wu together after they united and gave birth to the Reincarnation Dao Body. She understood the old adage that haste makes waste.

Since he couldn't fall asleep anyway, he simply abandoned the attempt. Lighting a cigarette, he stepped outside, reclined on the lounger by the doorway, and stared blankly at the starry sky.

By this time, Zhang Ruofeng had completely abandoned fancy techniques. Bursting past the free-throw line, he immediately leaped upward, clutching the basketball and actively seeking physical contact... looking precisely like a bull with bloodshot eyes.

Especially Huang Yi and Zhang Mo. Both possessed solid foundations, yet they had lacked suitable opportunities to truly temper themselves.

Those five gourds still hanging from the vine—was it not magical enough that they could already catch scents, yet why did they all look like a bunch of foodies?

Jiang Nankang's thoughts raced as he strung together and replayed every word spoken by everyone before and after the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Finally, he concocted a brilliant explanation.

Especially since this corpse remained animate, its greenish eyeballs rolling around as if searching for something.

Regardless of what schemes Qi Yan harbored, Qi Yan ultimately provided covert support to Ye Zhi.

Although Zhao Shenping had drawn the attention of the Buddhist sect, he harbored no excessive worry. At any moment, he could abandon Main Quest One and return to the Demon Paradise. With an escape route secured, Zhao Shenping grew unhurried, wishing instead to try converting Chen Xuanzang into a demon.

Yet if anyone claimed this was Qiu Zhihao's doing, Ye Yaotiao would never believe it, even if it killed her. Regardless, she and Qiu Zhihao had been deeply in love for five years; how could he ever commit such a beastly act?

"Fine, fine, fine! Those on different paths cannot make plans together. Take care of yourself!" Liu Zhi uttered three "fines" in succession, thoroughly angered by Yu Yong's stubborn temper. Having failed to accomplish his task and harboring lingering resentment, he flicked his sleeve and stalked off.

Lin Mu also understood that Zhu'er was likely no longer in the Second Heaven. As for whether she had gone to the Sixth Heaven, he could only verify it by going there himself.

Qin Wei gazed gloomily out of the hall, pondering inwardly: Could it be, just as Liu Er claimed, that the person burned to death in the Bai Family Pharmacy truly wasn't Zheng Jiu?

Consequently, on many occasions, although Xiao Yang could spot the flaws in his opponent's moves, there was no time to counterattack before the adversary had already deployed a follow-up technique to cover the prior vulnerability.
