Volume 1, Chapter 123: Two Worlds

Those acknowledged by the Dragon Vein are not necessarily the monarchs who establish dynasties, but every founding monarch is invariably someone recognized by the Dragon Vein. From this alone, one can see how deeply bound to fortune the quest to gain the Dragon Vein truly is.

Perhaps she had finally suppressed the rampaging Five-Elements Yang Poison. Before long, Ice Princess began drawing back the cold air that had dispersed around her, while the dark ice covering her body contracted inward.

That was because, besides releasing flames to attack, fire talismans possessed another extremely useless function.

A beastlike roar burst from the blood-red hound’s mouth, transforming into a furious wave of sound that struck Robert in an instant.

The top player from Insect Valley was like a nuclear bomb liable to explode at any moment. For the sake of safety, the players in Nanjian County and the surrounding areas had probably already fled, not daring to remain near him. Li Qing naturally was not foolish enough to run over there.

Legend said that the Netherworld Palace governed the Gates of Hell. On the day of the Ghost Festival, the palace opened those gates, and the dead ancestors could return home to reunite with their families. That was why it was also called the Ghost Festival. Among the people, religious ceremonies were held and steamed buns were offered to wandering ghosts. On that day, people worshiped their ancestors, visited their graves, and lit lotus lanterns to illuminate the road home for the dead.

The moment she sensed this aura, her body began trembling uncontrollably. She did not possess even the slightest desire to resist it.

Chen Zhi walked over, took out a key, and opened a chest. Inside lay several objects of various shapes, along with a few sheets of paper covered in strange patterns that looked like talismans.

Still, no one said anything particularly offensive, and everyone got along quite harmoniously on the journey. Deputy Commissar Hao’s family lived in the first cave dwelling. It had two chambers: one for living and the other for storing sundries.

This was my first time visiting He Liancheng’s home, and the first time meeting He Zelin and He Liancheng’s stepmother in this capacity. I truly had not expected such a solemn meeting to take place with a child in tow.

A hand? Yes, it really was a hand—a hand so blackened that its original skin color could no longer be distinguished. It struggled out from between the cracks in the bricks and rubble.

Where there is life, there is death. At every moment, every hour, and every day, how many souls were arriving in this world in a new form?

“Damn it!” Li Xiaoyi cursed and hurriedly ran away, but he was still a step too slow. The instant he turned around, a tremendous boom rang out. A powerful wave of air blasted him into the distance, and he came crashing down at Zhao Junjie’s feet, his body trailing thick smoke.

Even so, the cultivators surrounding the entrance could have killed him eight or ten times over. What were they concerned about? It seemed this strange old man was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Changtas and Shen Carter exchanged a glance, then attacked Yali from the front and rear in perfect unison. While Shen Carter was moving at high speed, his vision suddenly blurred. Yali appeared directly in front of him and threw a punch. Shen Carter had no time to defend himself and was forced to halt by the blow.

At first, he had been unable to sideline the old fox Bai Baoguo’s faction because he lacked a reason he could openly present. But after pretending to be timid and displaying weakness, he had provoked a complete falling-out between the old fox and Bai Baoguo.

“Very well. Stand by for now.” Zhao Junjie spoke indifferently. He then pressed the switch, transmitting the electricity toward the main cannon.

Before He Liancheng came back, I had overestimated myself. I thought that after learning the truth, I would be able to treat him as I always had. But the situation before me told me that this was impossible. I felt nothing for him. Whenever I saw him, I would think that perhaps He Zelin had been connected to what happened back then. Until I figured everything out, I was probably incapable of facing him.

“I have to score. I want the people at Manchester United to see that giving up on me was a mistake! I also want to prove my worth to the boss!” As he stepped onto the field, Falcao glanced back at Ling Feng on the substitutes’ bench.

It was within his own sea of consciousness, a world that belonged entirely to him. As the solar divine fire blazed fiercely, Xia Tianyi made a move, and suddenly torrential rain began falling from the sky. Each thread, strand, drop, and line of water was actually Taiyin Divine Water.

If only they could find coal! But how could coal be so easy to find? It would require tremendous effort as well as good luck. After all, she was no geological prospector.

“Here, take a look for yourself.” I pointed at the two horizontal and two vertical lines on the table for the poor fellow to see.

On the surface, Yun Jingchu gazed at everyone with an expression of bewilderment, but in reality, her mind was racing as she searched for a solution.

“Give me an account and transfer the money. Once I receive it, I’ll send you the phone number.” After saying this, Sun Sheng hung up.

“If I live until that day, I will naturally go see him. In any case… make your own choice.” The emperor sighed, gave a bitter smile, then turned his head and walked into the room, leaning on his cane.

Chuqi was Zhenxing’s martial arts master, while Chujiu, Chuyi, and Chushiwu served as his sparring partners. Occasionally, Daya would take on the role as well, with the purpose of testing Zhenxing’s true abilities. She was worried that Chujiu and the others would hold back, unwilling to fight Zhenxing seriously, and end up cultivating a master who was skilled in name only.

“If you don’t put it back soon, it’ll die of dehydration even if it doesn’t escape…” Tianqi naturally could not bring himself to say such words. Bai Mu looked at him, then at the fish in his palm, which had been flopping moments ago but now floated belly-up. As though he understood, he relaxed his hand. The fish dropped back into the river and sank beneath the surface.
