Chapter 61

After getting the key, I hurried upstairs, unlocked the door, and found that the room was similar to mine, the only difference being that this one was a double room.

"I am sorry for causing you all to worry. I am completely fine now." Seeing my companions, every single one of whom looked at me with heartfelt concern, I felt profoundly moved. It was only after getting to know these people that I came to realize, at this very moment, that there is such a thing as warmth in this world.

With Dao Yuxin's departure, it meant handing the entire Baizhong Sect over to Shama Elij. For the first time, she felt that Shama Elij was trustworthy, perhaps because... she did not have many people left to trust anyway.

"Xu Chu, today I shall surely slay you!" Dian Wei glared fiercely, his eyes wide as copper bells. At the same time, each of his hands, as thick as a child's thighs, gripped a giant halberd, while he spurred his warhorse into a frantic charge toward Xu Chu.

Stopping in his tracks, Jia Sidao wryly shook his right hand and stared at the chalk-white cut surface. A malicious thought suddenly crossed his mind: what if the entire raw jadeite turned out to be like this once fully unlocked? Would he then lose his shirt completely?

He forcefully ordered the newlywed Meng Yuan to station his troops for three days. This action could be understood as a punishment for those who had offended the majesty of heaven, or perhaps simply as a way for him to vent his frustration. The boundary between the two remained blurred even to himself.

"Reporting, enemy traces have been discovered in the southwest direction of the city." The covert guards whom Liu Yu had deployed long ago finally ran over in a flurry.

Upon reaching the bottom of the well, Li Zhengqu cast his gaze around at everything within it. He saw no springs gushing forth with blood, no human faces buried in the soil, nor any iron pickaxe bearing white flesh-like balls.

The dragon-bone water lift was even more useful than a loom. In fact, such contraptions already existed, but Liu Yu knew that the one improved by Ma Jun was incomparable to current ones, which was why he was so overjoyed.

To sum it up in a single point: if she could truly live according to her own will in the future, grand ideals and other such great deeds would have absolutely nothing to do with her.

Ian nodded, then turned to look at Keigo Atobe. "Do not forget, the person by Chinatsu's side is not so easily given up!" Ian left Atobe with these parting words.

Meanwhile, outside the formation, the Sandworm lightly tapped the golden silk box in its hand, lifting the lid. The pitch-black Heart-Devouring Gu suddenly leaped out, vanishing into the square cauldron in the blink of an eye and entering the realm of the Formless.

If the inherited and awakened bloodlines were already meager to begin with, a single berserk state could burn away their ancestral origin entirely, stripping them of their dragon and phoenix bloodlines and reducing them to ordinary mortals.

Cui Liancheng, the master of the Spirit Tiger, was already at the realm of Spiritual Consciousness Manifestation. Under the state of guiding spirits into beasts, the Spirit Tiger inherited Cui Liancheng's power and remained within the realm of Spiritual Consciousness Manifestation.

"Because..." Xiaoxiao slowly reached out and wrapped her arms around Fengguang's neck. Resting her head on Fengguang's shoulder, she remained silent for a long, long time.

The werewolf city defenders opened fire, sending a rain of bullets surging forward. Yet not a single Paladin fell wounded, and even their horses remained unharmed.

Dongling refused to believe they had come to help out of the goodness of their hearts, so she looked toward Yang Wanqing: "Mother, what is going on here!" She had been in a fine mood, but the moment she saw members of the Bai family, irritation washed over her.

From start to finish, Chinatsu had no idea what they were talking about. However, since Fuji Syusuke had agreed, she agreed as well. After all, it probably wasn't anything harmful, right?

Ian did not turn back, merely coming to a halt to indicate he was listening to whatever else Keigo Atobe had to say.

"How is Ye'er? Is Ye'er well? I miss him so much." Shen Qingwu leaned against Gu Jingfeng's chest, listening to his voice as she anxiously and piteously asked, tears welling in her eyes, yearning desperately for her child.

Following the great victory at Hangu Pass, Xiao Yi hosted a banquet on the pass that very evening to celebrate with the soldiers of the three armies. Perhaps in the eyes of the Marquis of Champion and the two military strategists, the time for celebration was still far off, but having overcome great hardships to capture such a mighty pass, the morale of the army could not be allowed to flag. The heroic and valiant performance of the soldiers was well worth praising.

"Would you dare?" Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Yang Xue pursed her lips and gazed at him with a smile.

Even if Mo Xi was ignorant of company affairs, she had heard Shen Yushan mention the relationship between Shen Zhizhang and Xu Haifeng—the two had been thick as thieves for over twenty years, and their bond was rock solid.

She could only writhe on the ground in pain. One must know that the Susanoo at this moment was no longer in its mature stage, but in its complete form.

Seeing the "Traversing the Array" vanguard troops retreat, the garrison soldiers all shared a single look of relief—they could finally relax. Ever since the attack began, their nerves had remained in a state of extreme tension. Now that the pressure lifted, a massive wave of exhaustion immediately washed over them, and many collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Big Brother Xiao is so thoughtful. Since you have finished writing, let us go then. Many people are waiting today." Seeing Xiao Yi finish writing and blow the ink dry, Zhen Mi offered a word of praise before leading him toward the market.

Picking up a relatively thick tree branch, Baili Lan fashioned it into a torch and searched everywhere within the forest.

"Heh, this Holy Tomb key is truly extraordinary! It is intimately connected to the upcoming opening of the secret realm! Because it is one of the three keys required to open the Holy Tomb!" Huang Taolüe laughed excitedly.

Manager Zhang took out his phone, found a spot with good lighting, and snapped picture after picture. Afterward, he eagerly trotted over to show them to Yin Ruojun.

Huang Xuanling departed the trading market directly and immediately soared into the air, flying toward his temporary immortal cave. Before mingling with the Dragon clan, he still needed to make some preparations.

Seeing the slight awkwardness on Cuimei's face, Mu Xiimei casually found an excuse to dismiss her.

Bizhu was nimble-handed and, following Lin Hanxi's instructions, styled her hair into a floating-cloud bun, then had her change into a simple, elegant cyan robe. Dressing this way served a dual purpose: first, to keep a low profile and avoid drawing attention; second, not to overshadow Leng Qingying. Therefore, when Bizhu picked up the rouge, she waved her hand and sent her away.
