Chapter 102: Sin Cannot Be Forgiven

As soon as Xue Tianya and Jia Changkong spoke, Lu Fei immediately guessed the truth of the matter. Then, recalling the phone call Jing Xuanwei had made to him, he quickly took out his phone and sent messages to Ouyang Zi, Luo Yutian, and Hua Tingyun, asking them to gather their forces and head for Xidu.

Jing Xuanwei was summoning the Ten Great Demon Kings, preparing to wipe out the Divine Emperor Palace in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Jing Xuanwei's stronghold in Xidu would surely be left unguarded. Lu Fei’s deployment to attack Xidu was, in effect, a direct confrontation with Jing Xuanwei...

“Excellent! It’s settled then, let’s have a good gathering tonight!” Lin Hongfei immediately agreed, paying no mind to whether there were other arrangements for the evening.

Everyone nodded; this was only natural. The appearance of unity had to be maintained, or the Greater China Federation would end up with a “north-south divide.” Yet balancing things was no easy feat, for assimilation and kinship were the most crucial steps in achieving the unification of the Great East Asia Federation.

The two finally understood: he was planning to convene a grand meeting, deliver an important speech, set the tone, and establish future leadership and guiding principles.

Xu Li Yanyu made no attempt to conceal anything and said, “Inside the Demon Lock Tower, there is a demon who, five thousand years ago, disguised itself as a human and joined the Gate of Forgetting Emotions, nearly succeeding in becoming the new True Lord. In the end, its true identity was exposed.”

Next, all that remained was to find bone marrow for her and proceed with the transplant. Of course, if Lin Tiansheng could find a more advanced alien meteorite, there would be no need for a transplant to cure Kawaguchi Chiyue.

Moreover, both were versatile players, skilled in offense and defense, which meant this match was bound to be fiercely contested.

Only then did Emperor Lan understand: at the time, he had no idea his consciousness and constitution were inherently different from ordinary people, enabling him to endure such cultivation. Even knowing this, he never followed the prescribed regime completely—whenever his body could not bear it, he instinctively stopped.

He was angry, but retained some composure and replied calmly, “I know who’s close and who’s distant; there’s no need for the Sage to say more.” He couldn’t be bothered to explain what sort of person Liang Feng was.

The conversation had grown tense. Ling Ding was stubborn by nature; hearing Lu Guzhan’s words tinged with mockery, he was instantly infuriated. He turned to a monk and said coldly, “Ling Xuan, do it.” The man stepped forward, raised his hands, and countless Buddha beads suddenly shot forth, flying straight at Chang Xuehen.

The crimson energy projectile appeared and vanished in an instant, leaving an arm-thick tunnel among the branches of the treetop. With its power, it could have ignited the entire tree, yet all it left was that tunnel, showing just how concentrated its energy truly was.

It had once considered fleeing, but remembering how Yao Muchen had nearly lost his life for its green treasure, it gritted its teeth and stayed.

So, when it saw the Starless Lord blocking its path, it didn’t hesitate and tried to rush straight past him.

“This time, among the things Lang Hongxiang gave, there is something of utmost importance; you should have seen it before,” Mo Tianyi said to Mo Canyi, holding a space ring in his hand, his expression complex as he stared at it.

He stood up and snatched the storage pouch from Ruo Longteng, tossing it straight into the Void Treasure Box.

The shopkeeper was a man of about fifty, thin, with shiny black beard and bright, spirited eyes. When he saw the staff scrape the two sets of items through the window, his eyes lit up; he glanced at the pile of diamonds and ignored them, instead picking up the set of meteor crystals and studying them intently.

“Huff, huff—” A golden fist suddenly smashed into the oncoming flames, drawing a thunderous arc in the air. In an instant, it shattered the seemingly massive wall of fire, and the powerful force did not stop, but pierced through the blaze and struck the charging fire wolf.
