Chapter 47: A Sudden Reversal, Fourth Master Liu’s Ace in the Hole

Zhou Hui was in such an emotional state that she could not calm down for a moment, and merely kept struggling.

"Trust me, it's going to be fine," Qin Feng comforted her again, and only then did Zhou Hui slowly begin to quiet down.

Yet the tears still continuously slipped down her cheeks.

Qin Feng told Liu Zi to watch Zhou Hui and prevent her from rushing into the courtyard, saying she could enter later after he had finished handling things there.

Zhang...

Yet people like themselves could not do this. They might be able to linger in outer space for a certain period of time, but they could not stay as long as they pleased, the way those beings did.

They were still darting wildly around the courtyard playing flying games, fortunately without crashing into the flat peach tree again. Nangong Hao's tense emotions relaxed slightly, and he refocused his mind on his own research into the array formations.

Six years ago. In that season of heavy snow and bitter wind, a catastrophe struck the Ji family. Jiang, the wife of Ji Changfeng, passed away from illness, and the entire Ji residence was draped in mourning. Before long, the front gates—which should have been adorned with brand-new red Spring Festival couplets—were quietly changed to white backgrounds. In the biting wind, the grief of the sparsely populated Ji family felt almost imperceptible.

Xia Feng curled his lips in disdain. If there wasn't a compelling reason, he wouldn't bother scheming against Lin Yuan and the others like this.

Nearby, Xie Ran, who had been deep in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke in a voice that had regained a hint of its former coldness.

Seated below Bai Hua were eighteen emaciated old men. Li Mo recognized at a glance that these eighteen old men were the very ones who had crawled out from the coffins in the forbidden grounds.

The two of them traversed the long street, made a few turns, and arrived in front of an estate. Engraved upon the plaque were the characters "Shang Residence"—it was indeed the Shang family's manor. Shang Zheng led Ji Lingsheng straight through the gates. Inside, countless lavish servants bustled about amidst inlaid gold and jade, a display well-suited to the enviable title of the wealthiest family under heaven.

"In fact, I feel that if a fellow like you were to go to the Transcendence Path, you would probably leave it just a few days after reaching its very end."

Xue Wantong had arrived, yet the moment she laid eyes on Qin Yang, her eyes turned red. Although she made no further move, this single sorrowful glance and that sentence brimming with grievance made Qin Yang feel as though he had been nailed to a cross to do penance.

The man with a scar at the corner of his eye nodded. Leaning back against his chair, he said unhurriedly, "Actually, the current situation is simply that the Origin Realm has leveled the playing field with the remaining twenty-six heavens."

"You just recovered, so stop running around everywhere! I'm going to the doctor's office to ask about your condition, and I'll naturally come right back once I'm done! If you wander around like this and I return to find you gone, I'll be worried!" Gu Ruoyu looked at Jing Yunxin with a concerned expression.

"Nonsense! Even if the whole world betrayed me, you silly girl wouldn't!" Lin Wei patted Baihe's face and smiled.

We booked a private room directly in the hotel restaurant. With everyone present, after a round of polite greetings and getting reacquainted, we ordered a table full of dishes and discussed matters while eating.

Luo Bing's father—presumably to be called Mr. Luo—was a very traditional man. His passions and interests lay in traditional Chinese martial arts, and he possessed formidable expertise in antique appraisal. Yet such a man was destined to be traditional and rigid.

"It's because the commander's absolute combat power has already surpassed the peak, which is why its growth has been so slow. I only just figured it out recently using that new type of radar," Baozi explained from the side.

The days that followed were all spent by Moke in cultivation, and the car arranged by Luo Wanmei was delivered to the villa the very next day. Seeing this, Li Xue had asked Moke in surprise about the change of vehicles.

Moke's expression changed drastically. He instantly understood that this was no ordinary flat tire, but an assassin's ambush.

"Goggles! And you still claim you aren't doing renovations?" I shook my head, reached out to pull out a needle case, and opened it to take a look.

"It's nothing, I just went out to buy some things, but I never found anything quite right, so I had to come back empty-handed." Xia Anling walked through the door with a smile.
