Volume One, Chapter 25: Fu Juechuan Writes to Assure Them of His Safety

"She just wants to become my aunt so she can manipulate me through you, and then team up with Jiang Yao to deal with me."

Gu Jin's temple throbbed, his gaze fixed on He Lian with suppressed fury.

"Brother Gu, please believe me. I really don't know this so-called Jiang Yao. If you're so capable, make her produce evidence!" He Lian cried out in desperation.

Gu Jin spoke coldly, "Qiaoqiao doesn't need to produce evidence. I believe everything she says."

He Lian felt a suffocating sense of frustration and glared at Ye Qiaoqiao with burning resentment.

Ye Qiaoqiao continued, "Little Uncle, you haven't just been deceived this once. For the past two years, you've been constantly lied to by the He family. In reality, it was Grandmother He who saved you, but the He family insisted on lying to you, claiming it was He Lian..."

Shortly after, he remembered to unplug the network cable, leaving the computer in an offline state to prevent any internet connection, essentially using it as a standalone machine. Under these circumstances, no level of defensive precaution was excessive.

More than a dozen bloody gashes spread across the bird's talons. Gaga waved one hand at its face and head while clutching the bone knife in the other, just about to swing it, when a heavy force descended on its face, and the bird's talons kicked off it.

Wang Qian walked up to Zhang Wanjin, ignoring the two menacing black bodyguards behind him, and leaned in close to Zhang Wanjin's side.

No matter how clever Wang Yingying was, she couldn't have known that Young Master Li had drugged her. The only explanation was that Young Master Li had one of Scar's men in his circle, and every move he made was under Scar's surveillance.

Shangguan Ruixin saw it clearly now; the phone call she had heard earlier was a dispute with her ex-husband over their child.

In the past, he had Li Biao's protection, so the loser Lin Xuan dared not retaliate. But even in this apocalypse, Wang Dahui still didn't believe that the loser Lin Xuan could pose a threat to him.

Of course, his goal was not the same as Qi Longyue's. He only wanted to obtain the immortal treasure of the Qing Sect, whereas Qi Longyue wanted to control the sect itself. The two hit it off immediately and began their infiltration of the Qing Sect.

What kind of magic had Qin Chen used? He received word from other sources that the underground forces gathered in the Wuling region had truly scattered like birds and beasts, leaving without the slightest hesitation. This was completely different from what they had anticipated.

Under the current circumstances, the chances of survival were certainly higher if one fled alone; staying with the group would only lead to death.

Red Spider thought for a moment. Instead of rushing to test him, she said, "Wait a moment," and turned to head out.

The Lingxi Jade Heart, in addition to having communication functions—much like the mobile phones, computers, QQ, WeChat, and electronic banking cards of the mortal realm—could also be fused with the Spirit Jade Immortal Talisman to quickly and conveniently verify one's identity.

His foot, which he had lifted again to continue circling the stone turtle, suddenly froze in mid-air.

The giant centipede was furious to see an unknown entity emerge just when it was about to win.

"Even if we aren't entirely sure, the dangers of this thing are very clear. Radiation is the most disgusting thing of all; once detonated, the resulting radioactive dust will likely spread pollution along the monsoon currents," Chang Fei said gravely.

Su Yuan was met with a barrage of energy beams erupting from the red eyes in the sky, the ground, and every direction.

Tang Feng kept a close watch on the queen bee, and in fact, the Queen of the Imperial Demon Bees was also constantly monitoring Tang Feng. After their few short exchanges, the queen realized that this young man who had rushed in later was the most terrifying of them all.

The private room where Sun Cheng was located was built suspended above all the spectator stands in the auction house, offering a commanding view of the entire floor.

The submarine surfaced slowly. Through the periscope, Chang Fei saw a hull shaped like a strange whale floating above.

Sun Yi acted without a word, sweeping his large sleeve to create an invisible force that lifted Shi Xie, Yin Yiren, Qin Ying, and the others from the ground. They were carried by the wind, soaring out of the Punishment Hall and up into the clouds.

With a loud bang, the two collided fist-to-palm once more. The moment their true essence exploded, they were both sent flying backward.

Seeing Bo Yichen come downstairs, Bo Huainan twisted his body and called out, "Uncle," in a fawning tone. Bo Yichen heard the commotion, looked over, and smiled.

Although breaking through to the Saint Realm greatly extended one's lifespan, there would eventually come a day when it ended, unless one reached the level of gods and demons—only then would one become a supreme existence, truly ageless and immortal, coexisting with the universe.

Bo Yichen felt a bit awkward under everyone's gaze. He lowered his head, walked quickly to his seat, and poured himself a glass of ice water, gulping it down.

Mount Tai was filled with strange phenomena. That day, all tourists were cleared out, and martial artists who climbed the mountain discovered a five-colored altar inscribed with ancient methods for emperors to ascend to immortality. It was immediately placed under military protection and had been under study ever since.

The last representative of the Blood Demon God Sect, Yu Qingsheng, was shrouded in blood-red robes, revealing only his eyes. He lacked the ferocity of the demonic path; instead, he appeared peaceful and was conversing quite harmoniously with Venerable Youmu and the other two great masters.

Corpses littered the deep sea floor, yet no predatory fish dared to approach, all terrified by Xiao Chen's fearsome aura. They had fled so far that not a single creature remained within a thousand-mile radius.

Li Xuan glanced at the group, signaling them to prepare to leave. Seeing Bo Yichen struggling to look at the path ahead while clutching several bags, he unobtrusively reached out and took the bags from his arms.

Although the Substitute Death Token was a rare treasure, it could neither attack nor defend, nor did it serve any other purpose. Its value was so high simply because it could block a fatal blow on behalf of its owner.

"After everyone returns, the first thing you must do in the camp is clear out a plot of land for me. It must be a rectangle, and the length of the sidelines must be longer than the length of the goal line," Yuan Yao said, handing a diagram he had drawn to the generals.

"My Lord, have you heard the conditions stated by Sun Qian? First, he demands that our army return the three cities of Xiacai, Ruyin, and Yingshang," Cheng Yu said, stepping forward and pointing to the map.

If these gifts had been given to the Shen family's second son's household, they would likely have felt honored and overjoyed. But for the eldest son's family, they were like a hot potato—they were trembling with fear, their feelings incredibly complex.

Moreover, he kept his mouth shut about the whereabouts of that batch of machine tools. But how could that stump Zhang Ziqiang? Once Xie Mi told him they would split the loot afterwards, he immediately expressed that he had no objections.
