Chapter 86: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

“Dad, the battle outside our gates has ended. Chen is coming home…”
Jiangnan, Canglan City.
In the depths of the old Jiang family estate, within a secluded courtyard.
Jiang Chen’s mother, Chen Ruolin, her eyes red-rimmed, gazed at the elderly man in the wheelchair, her voice choking with emotion: “After this, the Jiang family will finally be able to…”
This was an operation orchestrated by certain members of the Abyss Cult; rituals like altar summoning required abundant sacrifices. Most likely, they extracted Duling’s power to use as offerings.
“Immortal Crane,” the man in white uttered the name, pain contorting his face, a murderous gleam flashing in his eyes.
“Great Sage, this is the Divine Chosen World, and I am the one who summoned you,” Ye Feng replied with utmost reverence.
The court officials would never let such explosive news slip by. That very afternoon, a memorial impeaching Li Qinzhai flew into the Grand Palace.
For almost two years, this entanglement persisted. This team, tangled for two years, has brought us the 271DJ match—a final haunted by regret.
“Shut up, shut up, don’t listen to his nonsense!” The old man bared his teeth and waved his arms, his face flushing deep red, unlike his earlier shameless outburst.
General Amir cleared his throat twice, drawing the attention of the Divine Chosen players, then continued, “There’s no need to wait. Each nation’s deity has been assigned to a different Path of Awakening.”
Qiao’er had never experienced such fervent affection; his grandmother had always disciplined him strictly, rarely showing tenderness.
Zhu Yuanqing wished for Xie Yuan to remain in the hospital, but someone like him would only stay if he came to terms with it himself—otherwise, he couldn’t be kept.
Before Liu Chan and the others departed, he had cast a divination to ensure their safe return, which was why he did not intervene.
Seeing everyone’s actions, Chen Zhan felt a warmth course through him. Without hesitation, he pushed open the door and, as expected, was met with a barrage of questions.
No, it was about letting the second brother accept it. As for father… well, father was better comforted once things were settled.
As luck would have it, the Qingyang Purification Pill had been refined by Liu Qingyan, so it was named after the character ‘Qing’ in his name.
When Zhang Junjie finished speaking, Xu Qingling asked worriedly, “Junjie, isn’t your plan a bit too risky?”
Upon hearing that Xu Qingling and Ling Han were discussing matters indoors, the guard left without revealing what was actually going on.
But the immortal essence in the Spirit-Guiding Lamp was only a single wisp, and the soul within it had become Qin Gujue’s spirit.
The other party explained: the alloy was composed of a small amount of vibranium, black steel, and dozens of rare metals. Its hardness and toughness were inferior to pure vibranium, but it had unique properties—such as resistance to breaking, able to withstand considerable pressure and high temperatures.
The elder didn’t know much, but from his words, the gravity of the situation was clear.
Now, however, his blood seemed to surge, his wounds gradually healing. It was as if his body’s regeneration surpassed all logic. Soon, a black and white aura enveloped Jiang Han, and his energy stabilized completely.
The Shen family’s fury erupted, years of pent-up resentment multiplying and bursting forth in an unstoppable tide.
Lu Qiao’er, lost in the soul arts, stood motionless, her eyes filled with endless bewilderment.
Feng Chen gently closed his eyes, and his form transformed into countless flying swords—the Ultimate Nine Swords. Each blade carried his vitality, swirling like snowflakes. Ye Qingmeng’s body, Lin Ruoshui’s body, both turned to snow, rising with the wind toward the sky above Fenghe, until they vanished without a trace.
