"...There are fingerprints on it."
Boom—
The world seemed to have been pressed on the mute button.
Time froze at this exact moment.
Lin Feifei's flushed face, contorted with rage...
From his past life, he had known since antiquity that the deceased deserved the utmost respect and peace in burial. Yet, from a modern perspective, leaving corpses exposed was a breeding ground for plagues. Wu Yong did not know if the realm of Lanling had a concept of plagues, but the thought of bodies strewn across the fields filled his heart with unease.
The Netherworld Blood River rapidly condensed into a thin barrier, blocking Abe Seimei's path. Yet at this very interception, Abe Seimei's expression shifted abruptly, and Min Wu's eyebrows arched in an instant.
Within the towering waves of black mist, numerous bizarre auras intertwined into the shapes of dragons and serpents, wandering about—at times surfacing beneath the crystal stones, at times plunging deep into the abyss of the black mist, eluding even Baili Yun's spiritual vision.

In the span of three seconds, Chen Xuyuan established a connection between the super server and the virtual realm. With a single thought, several hundred virus sources materialized in the void, dispersing in all directions to infiltrate the earth and reach any corner of the Earth.
"Of course I can give it to you. I can even give you this prescription, provided you join our team." Chen Xuyuan smiled; this He Congzhi was surprisingly easy to talk to.
Li Sheng glanced at the latter and said softly, showing no excessive worry. He knew Li Xue's strength best; even if she wouldn't achieve any dazzling accomplishments, she certainly wouldn't do poorly either.
