Chapter 140: Annihilation

“What do you mean?”

The old devil Yunlu’s eyes gleamed with menace, and danger clouded his face.

“Did you not say so yourself just now? They signed a life-and-death contract.”

Lin Yang shot back at him without hesitation, his hand still clamped tightly around the old devil Yunlu’s arm as he steadily increased the pressure.

“Does Fellow Daoist Lin intend to fight me? I wonder where you got such an idea. Do you not know that the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages are entirely differ—”

At first, Yang Chen was overjoyed. But when he sensed the changes taking place in the earth, his expression underwent a drastic transformation. If innocent lives were caught up in this disaster, how could he ever face his own conscience?

Just as everyone was overcome with terror, a colossal city spread across the entire area within a radius of three thousand miles. Lightning flashed and thunder roared above it, while an immense force swept through heaven and earth.

Cen Kexin was just about to look up and speak to her when, by chance, she caught sight of a scene at the school gate and froze in place.

“Guests arriving at a time like this? Guests whom Grandmother is receiving in person?” A flicker passed through Ye Zhen’s eyes. “Could it be him?”

Everyone was stunned—Yu Qingfeng, Axius, the leading elder Sun Yi, several alchemy masters from Spirit Medicine Peak, and even Huangfu Linglong herself. Yet Axius truly lived up to his reputation as Huangfu Linglong’s devoted protector. He flew into a rage at once and reacted with startling force.

The winter wind cut like a knife. She silently drew her cloak more tightly around herself. Now that this drama had begun, it certainly would not end easily.

In contrast to the agitated, resentful mood around them, the four young masters and Madam Wei wore solemn expressions. Old Master Wei had never played by the usual rules; that was precisely how he had made his conglomerate the foremost in the world.

“Excellent. Tomorrow, we shall go outside the city together and annihilate that demon king!” ordered Zou Yingtian, the Golden Core Ancestor.

At the time, she had been so utterly captivated by the man called the Third Young Master that she had failed to notice the lecher sitting beside Xixi.

Although Tang Yin was surrounded by countless men pointing pistols at him, he seemed not to regard them in the slightest.

These questions surfaced in Lian Haiping’s mind, making him realize that the Firmament Child had perhaps not ceased advancing in his cultivation either. He too was continuing to refine an even more powerful divine ability, pursuing a deeper realm.

This made Qin Lie several times, even dozens of times, stronger than an ordinary first-tier Reincarnation expert.

Now that Liu Shan had ascended the throne, warfare had erupted throughout Great Shu, the borders were in turmoil, and Meng Huo had raised an army in rebellion against Shu. It truly was an excellent opportunity.

The river was icy cold, and the mountain flood had made its current even more violent. Though Su Tie possessed formidable martial skills, he could not swim and was floundering helplessly in the water. Following the river’s current, Wanying struggled toward him and, after several attempts, finally seized his hand.

As expected, although people talked boldly, quite a few still made bids. Everyone exercised restraint, and some chose to preserve their funds for later. In the end, the price stopped at two hundred and thirty million. A large jewelry merchant added another million in a single bid and took the item.

Lu Ping and the others discussed the matter and decided to go into the village to ask for some food. Only after they arrived did they discover that the villagers had no surplus provisions to spare. Although Lu Ping still had some broken silver, the villagers did not recognize it and refused to give them anything.

Lian Haiping opened his mouth and spat out a roaring stream of Samadhi True Fire. In an instant, it completely enveloped Luo Yunshang’s immortal body and began refining it with a sizzling sound.

At last, the final three tribulation bolts descended simultaneously. He actually withstood them all and successfully survived the tribulation without suffering the slightest injury. Ying Li could not accept such a reality.

She was extremely anxious. Last night, she had gone out and never returned. Shi Zichen must be worried sick. Would he come looking for her?

Seeing this, Director Yu truly wanted to shove Ye Chen aside and let those girls hurl their water bottles at him.
