Chapter 156: Regret Now, Don't You?

Everything was exactly as Lin Qingqi had just described; in front of Lu Fei, Zhong Xuecheng was remarkably obsequious, looking as if he would gladly kneel before him.

"Master Zhong, you are considered a renowned figure in the medical arts. How could you possibly believe in something like the Elixir of Immortality?" Lu Fei chuckled as he spoke to Zhong Xuecheng. Although their relationship had originally been quite poor, Lin Qingqi was Zhong Xuecheng's student, and through her, he...

His heart filled with sorrow, yet his expression suddenly hardened. Sun Lijun raised his hand to form a seal, muttering incantations, and immediately, a series of "crack-crack" sounds echoed from the unseen void.

"Heh heh, welcome to my domain. Here, I am the master," a dark shadow appeared before the crowd.

The profound practitioner’s expression turned grim. He had to admit, reflecting on his own thoughts, that it was exactly as Yang Ye had said—he had been harboring those very intentions. And not just him; in truth, how many of the human profound practitioners present weren't thinking the same thing?

The group of young cultivators clutching fire-starters stared blankly at their leader. They couldn't really be expected to go out and fight, could they? If it were just about using the Sword Dantian to absorb internal energy damage, they wouldn't dare challenge their senior brother. At the mere memory of the mental pressure from his Level Three Stone-Crushing Realm secret sword intent, they still felt a tremor in their livers.

Ye Xiao started the car and rammed it into the vehicle ahead, shoving it a distance away. He then shifted into reverse and slammed into the car behind, pushing that one back as well.

Qing Yi’s eyes dimmed. If Master Patra were not an indefatigable undead creature, Qing Yi would never have been able to forgive himself.

However, the defensive line had been constructed too hastily, leaving it with little strength. The Japanese artillery fire had caused some losses to the Imperial Army.

While retreating in a panic, Rocker Trigger tripped over a tree root. The distance between him and the skeleton in the suit narrowed to exactly twenty-five meters—not a fraction more, not a fraction less.

"This bolt is no ordinary projectile; the arrowhead is hand-forged and quenched in poison. Who even uses weapons like this nowadays?" Xia Lei said.

The door was flung open with such force that it hit the wall and threatened to rebound, but a large, knobby hand clamped it firmly in place. "Lightning" McQueen stood in the doorway, his massive frame nearly filling the entire doorframe. Mickey struggled to squeeze his thin face out from under McQueen's arm, his expression a mix of fawning and helplessness.

Shu Yun changed the mountain sparrow into clean clothes, then swapped out her own sodden garments. The clothes seemed to belong to the old man's son and daughter-in-law, as they were all a bit oversized on the three of them.

However, ever since seeing that character, Ye Yunchuan could no longer remain calm, and he followed Old Feng outside.

Tang Anran nodded with a smile and waved his hand, not treating it as any great achievement.

She had become stronger than in her past life, but the suffering, the fear, and the strength born of that longing still sustained her as she pressed forward.

The final time for returning to the village was set for half a month before the end of the year. On the eve of the New Year, during a brief lull in the western theater of war, Nara Shikaku set off with those who had performed with excellence on the battlefield.

Next was Shi Xu, who entered carrying a pole with baskets. To avoid drawing attention, he was dressed in a short tunic, looking like a common peddler.

Previously, Ming Hongguang had not intended to conquer this world. Now that he had confirmed someone had discovered him and harbored hostility, he loosened his restraint on the spiritual energy within his body and began to alter the environment of the entire world.

Perhaps because it was still too early, most disciples were still searching for their own opportunities throughout the secret realm, so there was almost no one near the Hall of Inheritance at this time.

She did not particularly want to communicate with Su Luoheng, but she also did not want to make their relationship too awkward. After all, there were many plot points ahead that required them to move together, and she feared that if their relationship soured, Su Luoheng might not follow the script.
