Volume 1, Chapter 42: The Flood Recedes

Zhuang Fan stepped out into the outside world, and the sight before him made him pause slightly.

Although the chaos had already ended, what presented itself to Zhuang Fan was a horrific scene.

Across the entire mountain, severed limbs and broken bodies were scattered everywhere, and the shattered corpses of monsters could be seen on every side.

Xi Chao followed Ji Kan and the others all the way into Suixian County. However, Xie An and Wang Meng, who was also in Suixian, learned of Xi Chao's visit through their respective channels. The two men shared a simultaneous sense of anxiety.

As the strongest member of the Tri-Light Council and its president for several centuries, his imposing aura erupted at this moment, instantly plunging the massive council chamber into absolute silence.

With a smiling expression, Taixu Ruyue placed the long-necked jade bottle before Lin Yang. As her delicate hand brushed across the body of the bottle, glowing runes emerged one by one from its surface—the jade bottle itself was actually a magic artifact.

What a pity, the jungle savage before him completely ignored Bai Jie's mockery, having no idea what Bai Jie was even shouting about.

"Illusionary Spirit Ice Python!" a cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment near the ship's side suddenly rushed to the middle of the deck, speaking with panic on his face.

Muyu Xiao blew out a puff of smoke and plopped down beside Ling Yun. Snatching the cigarette from Ling Yun's hand, he imitated Ling Yun and took a leisurely puff.

The training discs created by OK, as the name implied, meant that OK could recreate the entire plot and content of cinematic and television works.

Nangong Yao's purpose in coming to the Imperial City Auction House this time was simply to win the favor of Ouyang Fanyin. As long as he could marry Fanyin, the future wealth of the Ouyang family would undoubtedly become his.

As for the blueprint of the city-protecting moat, Zhang Guan already had her own plans; she intended to use it in the Science and Technology Village located in Wucheng.

Only then did Xue Wan smile. "The door we saw just now is called the Dragon-Breaking Stone. Once it is cut down, the mechanism to open it can only be found from the outside."

Emperor Pingxuan did not dare to doubt Jiang Yu's capability. After all, up until now, any trouble she encountered always ended up becoming someone else's trouble. She was like an irresistible factor, leaving people utterly bewildered.

"Even if something was activated, what does that have to do with the disappearance of so many people?" Shen Nuo asked, puzzled.

"Huh? Agree to what?" Qi Yunmo was so startled by the sound of the table slap that his soul almost left his body.

An issue serious enough for the Heavenly Heart Sect to treat with such gravity was very likely related to Qi Han. Gu Nian flickered and sped away in the direction of Heavenly Mirror Mountain.

Ning Lan'er looked as though she had been frightened, shrinking back timidly. She mustered the courage to finish what she had to say, and then, losing her balance, almost tumbled into a young man standing beside her.

She knew Yun Yixuan was doing it on purpose. With his wealth, hiring ten more housekeepers and hourly maids would have been a breeze, so he was clearly trying to torment her.

It wasn't until she had cried her fill that she realized she had not received a shred of response from the man. She sniffled involuntarily, looking at him through tear-blurred eyes, and only then did she notice something unusual about him.

Su Qianxia snapped back to her senses. Looking at Bai Yanchen before her, she hurriedly took his hand and began treating his wounds.

The next day, Xia Feng, who had clearly already taken a leave of absence, used going to work as an excuse to head out early in the morning because he did not know how to face Chu Qinghuan.

"Damn it all!" The burly, tiger-backed man had run out of patience and directly smashed his fist into the middle-aged wandering soul's face.

All-Star Weekend was undoubtedly a relief from the intense regular season. For the first time, Yi Yang felt that he could catch a good breath during All-Star Weekend.

The steps were piled high with corpses, but even more bodies had rolled down onto the flat ground beneath the long flight of stairs. Blood had stained this patch of earth crimson, turning the bluestones into red stones. Slaughter was the theme of tonight, and a thick stench of blood, malevolent Qi, and murderous intent permeated the surroundings.
