Chapter Forty-Nine: The Deer’s Call
Since the battle between human cultivators and otherworldly beings began, thirty full years have passed. Throughout these three decades, the two sides have been locked in unending warfare, with many battles so fierce that entire frontlines were lost by morning only to be reclaimed in the afternoon amid blood and fire.
Haoyun Zheng watched intently, step by step. When Haotianyuan completed his third movement, his divine consciousness exhausted, and his figure vanished, Haoyun Zheng slowly closed his eyes.
On the balcony stood two antique, fragrant Grandmaster chairs. Su Ruibai invited Yi Nanchen to sit, then gently helped her up.
Although Liang’er’s overall skills matched those of Shi Ruhai, her combat experience was noticeably lacking. Many times, the advantages won by her exquisite moves were lost due to Shi Ruhai’s cautious, experience-driven strategy. Nonetheless, such combat achievements left everyone deeply impressed.
“Meng Ye, please rise.” She still called him by name; the title of “General” belonged only to outsiders.
“Uncle?” One day, April whispered quietly to Uncle when the prison guard had walked away, firmly believing Uncle was merely playing along.
Xiao Xiao called for an ambulance while looking toward the few people struggling. Pain filled his eyes as he gaze upon Su Ruibai, who was being protected by Cao Ziyang from behind.
Huo Yi could not help but admire the Three-Color Pool. As he swayed in its blue waters, the tingling sourness was accompanied by a faint sweetness, making him feel this love far superior to that of He Li.
In his dreams, Xu Lang pushed aside layers of mist, struggling to see clearly the faces of the grandfather and grandson, but nothing could be discerned.
Haoyun Zheng reluctantly released Fang Ruyan’s arm, watching her walk away until she faded from sight. He could only shake his head slightly and return to the round table inside his room to sit down.
The spirit wine was of high grade, and drinking nearly a full pot was a great nourishment for two cultivators at the early True Monarch stage. Even though the spirit power was tempered through brewing, such a large quantity was enough to sustain them.
Madam Wang and Li Mi—Gao Jun knew well what they each had in mind today. And who could say for certain that these two would not unite for different purposes?
Moments later, two explosions rang out. Chen Yuan and others, looking somewhat disheveled, pressed on in pursuit of Xuanyu.
After holding their breath and waiting until the unpleasant aura of the Earth King vanished completely, the three finally exhaled in relief. Just as they prepared to leave the barrier, the Earth King suddenly stopped the collapse of the realm, signaling her to maintain the barrier.
Although Tunwu was strong enough to shatter the full force of Hayato’s attack, Song Chengjie could never fully control it. The plains west of Hongchuan City bore the marks of such destructive power.
Around Xiao Yi and his companions, the surroundings turned blue, and occasionally a blue figure swam past Xiao Yi’s side.
At any other time, Cheng Weiliang might have answered such people more tactfully or given a perfunctory reply, but now, under all eyes upon him—
Ding Feng inquired, yet received no answer. He also sensed a strange rhythm here that restrained the advancement of those seeking to reach the Daoist realm of impact.
After a month of a “barbaric” trend sweeping through society, it finally concluded perfectly amid media praise and celebrity acclaim.
However, if this could serve as an opportunity to foster communication between ability users and non-ability users, it would benefit the future development of exorcists. Moreover, for the exorcist academy to have more contact with those who have truly fought alongside ordinary people, it would help them understand the differences and improve themselves.
But before Nan An Gui could leave, Nan An Jing approached, looking somewhat angry.
Long Xiao struggled to suppress himself, afraid he might lose control and frighten her, sitting still without daring to move lightly.
“Xiao…” Oumeme was about to call out, but several tall bodyguards blocked her path unexpectedly.
“This is just a matter concerning a single ship. The collapse of the spiritual particle shouldn’t cause spatial fragmentation—that belongs to the technological dimension of spacetime! High energy alone does not cause spatial collapse!” Qin Jiuzhong said coldly.
In the end, he concluded that due to humanity’s inherent flaws, all laws, systems, and morals in the world cannot surpass human nature. Expecting humans to restrain themselves is a false proposition.
Bu Yilin originally wanted to explain the benefits of tofu, which can regulate the body, but thinking that this secret lacked scientific study, she kept silent. After all, ordinary people wouldn’t subject tofu to nutritional testing.
Xu Nian immediately went to ask, and the result was predictable. Qiu Wen was a mature thinker, not harboring guilt about using someone’s body.
But he was not distracted simply because the concept of forging in the teaching materials differed from his own; he still respected his master.
Apparently, the child’s anxiety seemed nonexistent in Bu Yilin’s heart.
“How to test? That grave robber has a big white goose, and here we only have this 30-70 split,” Jia Ren said. Afterward, several of us instinctively turned our gaze to him.
“Let’s go; we’ll enter now,” Gong Shaoxie said softly, taking Xia Fangyuan’s hand as they walked toward the villa.
