Volume One, Chapter 21: Ascending Heights to Gaze into the Distance

This strange feeling was a matter of intuition. Xu Yan tried to extract something from the existing factors, but he came up empty-handed every single time.

The two squinted their eyes for a long time before finally spotting a faint, flickering speck of light amidst the clouds.

Furthermore, in the ancient era, anyone possessing spiritual roots would have them at full purity. As long as one found a suitable cultivation method, it was quite easy to manifest elemental spirits.

At the Shen residence, she had no need for silver, and given the First Madam’s deliberate control, she was never allowed to keep any money on her. Even if she were asked for a single coin now, she could not produce it.

Moreover, within these rooms, Shen Mu could have all non-load-bearing walls removed according to his own design.

After all, if it weren't for them, he would never have become the abbot, nor would he have earned so much silver.

Ultimately, coming to check Tang Anran’s residence was a shot in the dark; failing to find clues was the norm.

Besides, these undead monsters emerging from the darkness were incredibly clumsy; they walked with a staggering, stumbling gait, scattered and disorganized, failing to form any numerical advantage.

Everyone said the Forbidden City was a great place for retirement—beneath the Emperor’s feet, the seat of all virtues—and that no matter how chaotic things got elsewhere, it would remain stable. Shu Yun had originally believed this as well.

"Wh-what are you babbling about?" Xu Zuoyan stammered, finally realizing the situation. Both of them were naked under the quilt, which only made him grow more anxious.

At this point, she stopped speaking, fearing that bringing up these matters would cause me pain. They had all learned everything about me from the text I typed, but suddenly, they all fell silent, sitting quietly beside me, lost in their own thoughts.

He had originally been most worried that Han Yue would make an endless scene over this matter, but to his surprise, the reality was the opposite.

Lu Changsheng flew into a rage, charged forward, and gave Hu Hansan and those few urban management officers a brutal beating. While lying on the ground, Hu Hansan secretly dialed the police.

Honestly, he had never seen his sister this anxious, even when he had broken his leg in the past. For a moment, the Second Young Master Yin wondered if his sister had been possessed.

From the moment we were taken away, the four of them never said another word. They seemed extremely professional; I even began to wonder if they were professional kidnappers.

Within two minutes, a candle was lit in the room. Illuminated by the lamplight, a graceful silhouette could be seen through the curtains. It was evident that her figure was quite perfect.

After fighting for a while, the opponent finally couldn't take it anymore and tried to flee in his car.

Stumbling along, every time my rollerblades hit a step, I felt the heavy stone in my gut sink a little further.

Long ago, he had clearly drawn a line: she was on one side, and he was on the other. All that remained were memories of a past that was once beautiful yet heart-wrenching.

"Second Brother, if this is a puzzle mechanism, there must be a focal point. Look at these sixty-four pieces arranged so neatly; there is no focal point at all," Zhang Sifei said, looking perplexed.

Meng Longwei always tried to find an opportunity to get to know this mysterious sniper. As an officer, he knew that this sniper was often more dangerous than the zombies outside, yet the man remained taciturn, his eyes always holding a hint of arrogance that made him impossible to fathom.

Leng Moyuan’s healing spell continued for a long, long time. I felt as though my entire body had grown numb from the cold, and finally, I lost consciousness once more.

The Nine-Horse Painting Mountain technique swirled around me, the nine heavenly horses appearing lifelike as they guarded my side. After a breath, I took another step toward the ancient stone gate of the herb garden. There were few people left ahead—only Luo Yan, Nangong Yu, Fang Qingyuan, Mu Lingyu, and the chief disciple of Changming Mountain.

Yelü Yun felt somewhat apprehensive, even restless. Zhuo Zhaoshi smiled and said, "Do not be nervous. Be at ease; I have long wished to meet you to express my gratitude."

Dazhuang, however, was different. Not only was he quite stout, but he was also a slow climber. By the time he reached the end, his face was flushed red, and it seemed that if the hole had been any longer, he might not have made it out at all.

At this moment, the body of the Golden Flower Adept was like something forged from pure gold—not only hard but also protected by Taoist power. Thus, the silver spear’s strikes were futile against him, just as his own attacks were neutralized by Yelü Yun’s Immortal Jade energy.

Of course, while one hopes for destiny, one must exert all possible effort, and the core priority is the selection of the earth-element gathering point.

Gu Yu shared the same sentiment as Yu Chengxi. He knew clearly that Shen Lan was not only strong in combat but possessed a sharp mind and lateral thinking that made her even more troublesome. Her style of acting, sometimes arrogant and sometimes cautious, was far more persuasive than Caesar’s.

Hao Jiali understood that these people claiming their situations were dire was merely an excuse; they were primarily afraid that this family of orphans and widows would not be able to repay the loan, so it was better not to lend at all.

Most terrifying of all was the fact that the Prefect Long had previously stated that Li Changsheng’s status was that of a military man; to take action against him, one would require the highest level of national military tribunal.

You don’t even know how to play the piano, yet you made a bet with someone—isn't that just sticking your face out for someone to slap?

Upon arriving at the forest where the phantom had appeared the previous night, Mo Fei and Liu Lingzhu gathered Taoist energy in their eyes and began to observe the surroundings carefully, searching for clues related to the previous evening.

Even though Hao Jiali knew that her body was still undergoing treatment for nephritis and that she lacked potassium—a component found in salt—because she had to abstain from it, causing her to remain devoid of strength, she knew she had to pass this hurdle.

Chen Zhijie noticed that Chen Qing and his six sons all had trails of blood flowing from their nostrils and the corners of their mouths.

Zhao Kang was instantly drained of color, frozen in place, watching the oncoming sword blade.

For the past ten years, the Sui-Zeng State had been in decline, leading to two decades of fragmentation. The direct cause of this was the Desolate Sea War.

Yun She, who had been busy working, also arrived. He sauntered toward Yu Xi and Yun Xiao, opened his arms, spoke with deliberate emphasis, rhythmically patted Yun Xiao’s shoulder, and wedged himself between the two, his eyes wide as he kept a close watch on them.
