Volume One, Chapter 49: How Much Longer Must We Pretend?

"This is not a corpse resurrection; it is the return of the soul to its rightful place. The ghost from just a moment ago was the soul of this corpse. Once the soul returns, it is essentially equivalent to a zombie," Xu Yuntian explained.

However, her sanity remained entirely intact, and she did not believe that anyone would casually give away gifts for no reason. Moreover, no matter how one looked at it, something felt deeply strange.

The reservation call was placed, and in less than five minutes, the taxi driver walked into the bank holding that anonymous card.

Following the madness of last night, the number of players in the game had surged by a staggering thirty to fifty thousand today.

Xu Yuntian piloted the helicopter, following closely behind the fishing boat until it reached the harbor. Once the thirty batches of supplies were safely handed over, he flew away in the helicopter.

"Is that so?" Lu Chenhao's eyes narrowed slightly. He lowered his gaze to look at Nan Xia, his eyes holding a tenderness that Nan Xia could not quite understand.

The amusement park was a public space. Although openly there were only two servants following Xia Qingkong and Mu Chenhao, in reality, there were fifteen of the Mu City Guard brothers secretly protecting them throughout the entire Jingjiang Amusement Park.

"Mr. Smith is truly the most authoritative expert in orthopedics. After examining your legs just now, he did not say they were incurable. Don't worry, I will ask him to heal you," Lan Li said calmly.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then drove back to that automobile factory construction site.

Shouts from several men echoed from the airplane, and immediately afterward, a crowd swarmed to block the doorway.

"Yes! This slave understands!" The servant bowed his head respectfully. He knew that if these matters were leaked, executing his entire nine agnatic kin would not be enough; how could he dare to make a fuss?

During this period, Qingyang City was flooded with ordinary people from all over, mostly young men and youths under the age of twenty. They had all come for the upcoming sect disciple recruitment in half a month. Now, suddenly receiving such an announcement, many of them had not yet reacted.

"Xuanxi?" Seeming not to have expected to see Mo Xuanxi here, Mo Xuanhan also wore a look of astonishment, though his eyes showed very little fluctuation. What he truly felt in his heart remained unknown.

The black mist surged in an instant. The churning waves of water, like a heavenly river flooding downward, transformed into ten water dragons, hurtling toward the fire dragon with a terrifying might.

Su Sixuan's face turned pale instantly, but clearly knowing she had done wrong, she dared neither beg for mercy nor argue her case.

When the few of them emerged from the underground cavern, to prevent the newly awakened Jing Xiangyu from being stimulated by the underground water and causing further problems, Xiao Fei placed both Yu Tao and Jing Xiangyu into the Yitian Pagoda. As long as Yu Tao kept quiet, Xiao Fei was not afraid of Jing Xiangyu discovering anything from within the Yitian Pagoda.

Yet Luo Tianqing, who had been poisoned by the corpse venom, had maintained some consciousness for quite a while now, which was rather peculiar.

He had buried Chen'er with his own hands. Back then, although Chen'er was still as beautiful as ever, she had already lost all breath. Now that three years had passed, how could Chen'er possibly appear by his side?

Had this strategy of drawing the snake out of its hole not been personally proposed by Shen Cangfeng, who also took the personal risk of acting as the bait, Shen Youjia would have really suspected whether this third granduncle of the main clan was holding back out of cowardice.

The night finally grew quiet. Luoyang and Yuan Jun sat back-to-back on the ground, gazing up at the bright moonlight. The complexity of their inner thoughts could probably only be understood by the two people involved.

"How can a Heroic Spirit possess so many Noble Phantasms? That's practically cheating!" Illya shrank fearfully behind Kiritsugu, almost too afraid to show her face.

At this moment, while Lilith was wandering around aimlessly, Alice was still deep in slumber within Lilith's palace. However, Alice's distorted facial expression indicated that she was enduring a unique and profound torment.

"There's no way out. With these rugged mountain paths, how could these old bones of mine escape the pursuit of these people?" Faced with death, the old man showed no panic, feeling only a sense of regret.

Pingyang County in Hedong Commandery—the ancient city later renamed Linfen City in Shanxi Province—was welcoming yet another spring. In early spring in Hedong Commandery, vibrant green began to sprout everywhere. At this time, Hedong Commandery was even warmer than in later generations, and the hillsides were mostly covered with tea trees, maosu bamboo, and other plants suited for the south.

"It really works!" Fang Haotian was ecstatic in his heart. This indicated that the Punisher and Avatar projects could proceed, but the thought of another version of himself crawling on the ground and licking his own toes... wasn't the sense of discord just a bit too strong?

Fang Haotian felt a secret shock in his heart. This was something he had never understood before. A moment of careful thought revealed the significance of the Guardian Alliance; without this powerful organization, the Martial Alliance probably wouldn't have been so well-behaved.

Not long after, two outer sect disciples brought Xie Tian in. Xie Tian's acupoints had been sealed, leaving his entire body weak and powerless, forcing him to submit as the two outer sect disciples escorted him into the living room.

Although the brainwave she found indeed had a subtle difference from her own, this difference was almost negligible compared to that terrifying degree of similarity. Even the brainwaves of twins wouldn't be similar to such an unscientific degree, would they?

Ling Feng's brow furrowed slightly. Could this young girl truly be so cold-hearted and callous that she remained entirely indifferent to matters of life and death?

Chen Chunsheng looked at the city walls, where traces of fire and burning were still vaguely visible, feeling slightly dazed.

Every disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley felt an incomparable sense of pride and honor for belonging to the valley.

The three men understood and went to inspect all the doors in the courtyard. Each of them chose a door, walked over to check them, and made sure not to cause any noise.

Of course, Jiang Yue would not be so naive. There must be something going on inside that he was unaware of. Returning to the Heavenly Casting City, the outcome remained uncertain—would he be able to return safely?
