Volume 1, Chapter 33: She Was Already Dead

Page 1 of 3
New Year’s Eve. The military residential compound was bustling with activity. Fu Heng and Mother Jiang were busy making dumplings, while Bai Xuanxuan, her hands still bandaged, sat nearby holding Yuan Yuan. Yuan Yuan was dressed in a thick, festive red padded jacket, her chubby little hands busy shaping dough into round balls. "Look, Mommy, I made a little rabbit!" she chirped. "Here, for you."

The students in the class were deeply curious about what was written on Yi Wubai’s medical report and why he chose to use it as evidence.

"How is he this strong? Even with the might of the grand formation bolstering him, it shouldn't be possible for him to be this powerful!" Feng Yongping felt a jolt of terror.

"This is too much. What did they tell you just now? If I hadn't been there, what would the outcome have been?" I said in a low voice, lecturing Chen Ling for the first time.

At this moment, everyone—from the disciples of the Haotian Sect to the two peerless powerhouses at the second level of the Zhanling realm—felt their souls tremble.

As these words echoed, the head of the Qiao family, Qiao Yongpeng, and his second uncle, Qiao Chaochuan, walked in. Their eyes locked onto Ye Feng the moment they entered, filled with nothing but fury.

The Lord of the Earth Realm was still running frantically, no longer able to provide blood sacrifices to the sky above.

As Bei Yu and the others stared at Ye Feng, who sat cross-legged on the altar suspended in the void, her eyes were filled with shock, yet also a hint of melancholy.

Luoxi Valley was a sacred ground in the northwestern wilderness, home to the finest cultivation resources and the most formidable cultivators. There were so many Golden Core stage practitioners there that no one could keep count—in any case, there were certainly not few.

"We’ll take it one step at a time. I haven't agreed to your terms yet, but considering I’ve already seen everything I needed to, I can ensure you survive," I said.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" the heaven-level powerhouse of Heping asked, staring at Ye Feng in shock. They were over five thousand meters under the sea, protected by formations that made it impossible for outsiders to enter.

If only he, like his second and fourth brothers, had a mother who was a noble consort or the empress, he would surely have been able to marry Lady Niohuru as his primary wife.

Some people looked at the gentle Li Long in disbelief; he seemed so different from what they had imagined.

Shi Mianmian widened her eyes, puffed out her cheeks, and asked in an aggressive, fierce manner.

She marched back downstairs from her room, standing outside the bar counter feeling a bit dizzy. She desperately wanted a glass of ice water to quench the fire of her irritation.

"I... I don't know either." Gu Ran was still dazed. He hadn't done anything, yet he had inexplicably escaped a disaster. Still, it was somewhat within expectations; the Nine-Turn Reincarnation Pill was too overpowered. If he had the chance, he would get sacks of them to feed his sister.

He turned his head away, ignoring the lunatic. Just then, the sound of fighting erupted from behind.

It was a pity they hadn't seen the Fourth Prince. No one knew what he looked like, though many held high hopes for him.

But Feng Chengqian’s men were fierce. Even though the valley was filled with traps, the suddenness of the attack combined with the thick darkness of night meant no one could react in time.

The boss cat jumped up, fur bristling. It glared with wide, round eyes, retreating while keeping a close watch on the Darkrai beside Du Ming.

Just as they took a step forward, the hidden imperial guards appeared in unison, surrounding them.

Of course, if this great opportunity happened to fall into the hands of some lone wolf, it could only be said to be the will of heaven.

Sure enough, as the Harmony Pill vanished, another object shimmering with five-colored light flew from the palm of the Buddha and landed in Bai Kun’s hand. The sensation of a world forming within his palm brought a sense of calm to Bai Kun’s heart.

Full of curiosity, he leaned in, wanting to hear what the old monk had to teach him, unaware that his suffering had already begun.
