Volume 1, Chapter 55: Su Wanyue Arrested

The next day, as I was just finishing breakfast, Fu Tingxiao suddenly received a phone call, his expression shifting drastically.

I looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He frowned and gently stroked my hair. "Su Wanyue has been arrested. Captain Lu says she is currently the prime suspect, and it's very likely that she plotted against Tang Xing and caused her death."

A surge of wild joy welled up in my eyes.

Splendid! The case had finally taken a major step forward.

As Fu Tingxiao was the head of the Fu family, the arrest of Fu Hanzhou's girlfriend quickly trended on hot search topics.

Compared to martial artists at the Qi-Refining realm, those at the Spirit-Wandering realm derive their superiority from far more than mere raw power; their speed, timing of attacks, and control of force are vastly superior in every aspect.

Yet even so, based on the power Camilla ultimately displayed, she was clearly far stronger than Gatanothor.

Let me tell you, if the CEO cannot defeat Zhuo Yang fair and square in this lifetime, he won't be able to rest in peace even in his casket—damn it, his gravestone won't have any words carved on it, only a pair of double eyelids.

Compared to the two billion Earthlings residing on Planet 38, the Earthlings back on Earth were so unimaginably formidable.

However, as the alloy plate continued to expand, the air resistance grew increasingly severe. Finally, when the area of the alloy plate reached a staggering twenty kilometers, the air resistance became immensely massive, far surpassing the gravitational pull of the meteorite.

As the vehicle approached the scene without slowing down, a cacophony of chaotic sounds flooded in—the clatter of weaponry, the calls over wireless communication, and the tactical instructions of the combat personnel all echoed inside the cabin.

What first caught the eye was a familiar pale visage, clad in his perennial goose-yellow robe and—well, let's just call it a snake-style tunic—alongside a young man wearing a short-sleeved white shirt underneath a black vest, framed by round spectacles and a head of white hair.

When the "Spirit Wandering" technique is practiced to its absolute pinnacle, it reaches the realm of the "Beyond-Heaven." Thus, it is a specialized footwork that interacts with space and nature, though Xiao He's current martial arts mastery is still at the Grandmaster level and requires further practice and enhancement.

Chopin watched them play for three quarters from the sidelines; perhaps he didn't fully understand them yet, but their habits were glaringly clear. Facing a block from Chopin—who had anticipated the move, and whose strength, speed, and preparation vastly outmatched his own—

The "Holy Assembly" had never been a charitable organization, which could be deduced from their willingness to use Camilla as a sacrificial pawn. Furthermore, torturing and interrogating High Elves through arcane arts caused Spark not the slightest pang of conscience.

"Naturally, it is to stabilize the public sentiment and present a united front against external threats!" Zhou Yongjian chimed in. Qingye City and Fenghuang City had always maintained friendly relations, and at this moment, he intended to strongly support this new city lord.

General Li was inwardly startled. Before he could react to the situation unfolding before him, he watched the city wall continue to extend outward on both sides, enclosing Peach Blossom Village within the span of a few blinks.

Moreover, because these cursed beings lingered near sacrificial grounds for prolonged periods during their lives, their bodies became tainted with countless wisps of Yellow Springs vapor. Consequently, the resentful spirits they transformed into after death were far more formidable than ordinary entities. At the very least, they were not as easily dealt with as the creatures lingering outside.

With that, He Shuai tilted his neck and downed an entire bowl of clear liquor in one gulp, thanks to the alcohol tolerance he had accumulated from his frequent freeloading at the Reunion Tavern over the past few days.

"The past few days brought endless bouts of nausea and vomiting, but I've felt somewhat better lately, though the springtime lethargy is endless," Noble Consort Ni smiled and said.

Her demeanor was exceedingly graceful, and her attitude was poised and natural, carrying that high-class nobility unique to powerful and prestigious clans. Even the way she sat upright in her chair inspired a sense of awe that forbade any thought of looking down upon her.

After a day of rest, everyone was brimming with energy. The orc Baburus had already grown quite familiar with the members of the Carefree Mercenary Corps, occasionally asking Philip for pointers on combat techniques. It seemed this Minotaur wasn't slow-witted at all, knowing full well how to seize an opportunity! With my tacit permission, Philip patiently instructed Baburus in various moves.
