Chapter One Hundred and Eight: Enter
The matter spread like wildfire. When Li Boguang heard the news, he could hardly believe it. He stared in shock at the people beside him, and only after a long while did he suddenly react and hurry toward the police station.
When he saw Li Yiming, Li Boguang was completely thrown into disarray. He slapped him across the face and shouted, “What on earth do you want? Do you even know what you are doing now? Have you run out of women? Didn’t I give you money...”
Madam Chang, too, wept every day until her tears seemed to run dry. Such a sudden disaster had befallen the Chang family that she could no longer maintain her usual composure.
“We don’t know either why Chu Ning suddenly went back to the dormitory last night. Huihui and I were both surprised when we saw her return yesterday.”
The entire day passed as though nothing special had happened. Whether Omega or the Puxi Base, all were immersed in the exhilaration of obtaining extraordinarily advanced alien technology.
Early the next morning, when Nan Yecheng opened his eyes, he saw Su Xun sleeping soundly, her fair neck covered with red marks.
“And who are you? Since you know you will die, why do you still come one after another to throw yourselves at my door? How utterly foolish!” Wu Murong said coldly.
But according to the Qian family, Qian Li suffered such soul-loss every day. If his wandering-soul symptoms truly arose from contact with something unclean...
Zhou Fang wiped away his tears and forced a smile at Zhou Le, but it looked even uglier than crying. Fortunately, Zhou Le did not mind. For him, so long as his father knew he existed, he was already content.
The old Li Beichuan had been cold and indifferent, incapable of warmth toward anyone, and when he went mad he was even more ruthless and terrifying. Though the man before them still wore an icy expression, there was now a trace of human feeling in him; he was no longer as cut off from the world as before.
By contrast, Ji Changqing, who had always been at odds with Ji Changkong, could not feel the least bit pleased. His mind was filled with only one thought: how could this possibly be true?
However, if Zhang were not at the residence and Zhu Cheng and the others tried to hide in Nanjing to ambush them from the shadows, secretly seeking out Zhang at night, then the whole matter would unfold differently.
“The Skeleton Young Lord? What kind of thing is the Skeleton Young Lord?” The battalion commander was utterly baffled by the strange bird’s words.
Qin Lie felt helpless and stifled with frustration. With no choice, he let Shi Fatian go. But before lifting his foot, he stomped down hard once more with a dull boom, driving Shi Fatian’s body deeper into the earth.
Xiao Wanci deliberately exaggerated how miserably Wei Limo had scolded her and how harshly he had reprimanded her, weeping pitifully as she embellished the whole account and poured it out to Empress Dowager Xie.
He had also made countless attempts to pry open the seal, all ending in vain, until at last he waited for a perfect opportunity: a change between heaven and earth. That change also helped the two awakened wills break free, allowing those two to stir up trouble from within for his use.
By then, the black armor had already faded away, and the God-Swallowing Serpent scales had turned back into a white robe, which stood out all the more clearly in the dim corner.
“Where is the keepsake?” Tuoba Yao had seen two strings of sacrificial red beads. The other string was made of flawed beads and was certainly not A Rui’s.
Guided by his mind, Naruto Uzumaki controlled the flow of chakra and tried to force his way through the acupoints sealed by Neji, but after trying, he found it useless and could only smile helplessly.
“Boss, do you think it could be that when this strange fellow was holding that object, Fuxi saw it and drew it into the pattern of the bagua? And because the area around the bagua diagram was filled with black and white dots, later generations distorted the story and came up with some legend about a dragon-horse and a divine tortoise presenting a map?” I asked, looking at Boss Liu curiously.
Luo Han’s expression changed at once, clearly having never expected the spirit of the altar to have such a move. He was already at the brink of exhaustion, the spiritual energy in his body completely depleted, and before that earth-shaking blow he had no power to fight back.
When the most exalted Empress Dowager Xie had been helped by Wei Limo and Empress Xia into the phoenix throne and seated properly, Wei Limo spoke and told everyone to rise.
