Chapter 126: The Progress Took a Slightly Different Turn

“Thank you.” Bai Wei collapsed into Cao Bin’s arms, her voice hoarse.

“For what?” Cao Bin asked.

“I know you helped me destroy all of this. Although I don’t know how you did it, I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart,” Bai Wei said.

...

With such power, if it were to strike the ground, not only Earth but the entire solar system—and even surrounding planets—would be utterly annihilated.

The Estar Federation had gradually transferred two decommissioned warships of various classes—half-sold, half-gifted. Despite that, these ships remained quite advanced in the Wasteland Star Region.

Noboru Kunisaki did not want to die, and Tetsujiro Yamada even less so. Kunisaki was his direct superior; if Kunisaki were killed by the Chinese army on the battlefield, Yamada would bear inescapable responsibility—ranging from dismissal and censure to, in the worst case, being ordered to commit ritual suicide.

What nobody expected was that the Sixth Demon King would resort to a self-destruct move, perishing along with the Night Clan.

The “Unbeatable Flower,” Su Rong, sat silently among the others, her head bowed, eyes fixed on the table, lost in thought.

This situation was somewhat like the underworld taking a day off, with all the ghosts returning home to visit their families.

The “assassination” of Number Six struck Gohan deeply. He leapt up and threw a punch at Cell.

After all, what regrets or dissatisfaction could there be when one has the chance to hear their most admired idol perform up close?

As winter gave way to spring, some shoots began to sprout. Liu Qingshan moved his will, feeling his power grow stronger and more controlled. This sensation was vivid—his consciousness expanded suddenly, so that even without looking back, he could perceive the actions of everyone around him in his mind.

“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I shouldn’t have brought this up,” Lei said apologetically, feeling uneasy.

The fat man was happy, while Zhu Cheng and the others felt as if they had swallowed flies—disgusted. Most people would not be able to endure such a situation, but after weighing their opponents’ strength repeatedly, Zhu Cheng remained motionless, his gaze fixed. Naturally, Tang Qi and Luo Can followed Zhu Cheng’s lead and dared not act rashly.

Shaoyu nodded slightly, but an elegant figure appeared before his eyes—Shi Lan. He recalled the scene when Shi Lan had saved him under the moonlight, and for a moment, he was stunned.

“Brother Mu, may I ask—have you passed the strategist certification?” When Li Zhishi asked them to stay here and prepared to leave, Tiemian finally couldn’t help but ask.

“All right, let’s go check up ahead! I don’t believe such a vast underworld can’t find a single ghost! We must dig up King Yama if necessary!” Previously, Jia Zhengjin had been worried, but now he hoped to encounter King Yama or the underworld messengers.

All these scenes were transmitted to Jia Zhengjin’s eyes via satellite images, making it difficult for him to believe.

Yun Mei almost couldn’t hold back a smile; the corners of her mouth twitched. It turned out her brother had the potential to be a charlatan too.

Unknown enemies were truly terrifying. Although Qu Yu was afraid, she decided to apply ox’s tears—at least when ghosts appeared, she would know immediately, rather than waiting unknowingly to die.

To make this demon beast obediently follow the team back, it had to be weakened to its most frail state. Only then could Liv easily drive it away after sealing the Hall of Light.

Following Lai Youqu and Qu Yi’s guidance—using their method of distinguishing the aura’s color—the group finally found a cloud-covered place suspected to be the entrance to the Heavenly Way.

They all understood well that the Ye family would not let Jiang Yi go. However, within the Ancient Path Academy, the Ye family dared not act. Once outside, anything could happen.
