Volume 1, Chapter 37: Inhuman Torment

"Mmmph! Mmmph!"

Wen Shiyan struggled desperately. She could feel herself being carried on the shoulders of two people, but her mouth was tightly gagged with a rag, stretching the corners of her lips to the point of tearing.

What was happening? A kidnapping? But who in the capital would dare to kidnap her? Yu Mingyue?

The crowd cheered with excitement; returning to Mubin Peak was the one thing they had dreamed of and longed for over these past few days.

However, that remark just now forced him to reconsider his own approach to cultivating internal energy; perhaps this was the most fundamental and essential element after all.

"It seems they have discovered it." The moment they saw the massive, surging torrent rushing toward them, every soldier and officer of the Ke Army camp stranded on the north bank of the river understood exactly what it was.

After browsing online for a while, it was already noon. Lin Di took Mao Mao out for lunch and initially planned to take a nap before finding a movie to watch. However, no sooner had he lain down than his phone rang.

The deity enshrined in the great hall had long gone without the offerings of flesh and incense from the mortal world, yet it still sat high above, looking down upon human sorrow and folly. Cobwebs hung in the corners of the hall, and tattered sacred veils fluttered in the wind. There was neither the sound of human voices nor any sign of life.

After all, on the course schedule for the Video Game Department, there were no more classes listed for Professor Lin after these final three days.

I knew it! How could two people look so much alike? If she weren't Yuxuan, how could she have learned my song in just over ten minutes? Good heavens, she truly is the genius I know; she lives up to her reputation as someone who can handle anything.

"What? They went to Japan?" Mr. Ishimuro was astonished. He had come from there himself. Ever since it was determined that the primary target of the Radical Destruction Bringer was Japan, the Aerial Base had shifted its orbit to hover above the country, specifically tasked with its security.

Seeing that it was Ren Chen—a man who colluded with the notorious Mr. Gong—who had come looking for her, Hong Jian’s pupils couldn't help but contract slightly. What was he planning to do?

"Come on then," Chen Yun said, feigning composure. Because the old man had used some secret technique, Chen Yun could not discern his cultivation level, but his intuition told him this guy was definitely no ordinary character.

The two traveled through the woods for about an hour, circling around to a stone cave on the back of the mountain, where they quietly rested.

At this moment, the entire troop of cavalry behind Dewey looked at Xiao Yao with a drastically changed expression, subtly filled with awe and admiration.

"Amitabha, donor, please do not take offense. This is what happened." Wuneng truthfully recounted the events that had just occurred to Cheng Huailiang.

Although doing this would greatly exhaust Liu Wuqing’s obsession and might even cause it to fall into a long period of dormancy, that was clearly not its concern now. All it cared about was how to kill Lin Mu.

Wang Chao, the homicidal maniac, could not be counted; anyone who had witnessed his prowess basically met a miserable end.

Xiao Yao let out a sneer and extended his right hand toward Wei Wu. Wei Wu reached into his robe, pulled out a stack of one-thousand-tael silver banknotes, and handed them to Xiao Yao.

Amidst a pile of ruins and pillars, Shen Hao frowned as he looked at the three high-level Nightmares hiding behind the uncut stone columns six or seven meters away, spying on him. The three demon beasts were cautiously lurking in the shadows of the pillars, looking at him with slight surprise; it was evident that the sword strike just now had given them enough of a scare.

When the two arrived near Qingfeng Hall, they saw the entrance crowded with people, all clamoring and arguing, though it was unclear what had happened.

This had caused Immortal Demon City to develop increasingly into a major hub for cultivation. Although its population was not yet on par with Leiwu City, it was not far behind the second-tier cultivation cities.
