Chapter 42 The Expulsion Incident

I watched as its figure vanished into the pitch-black night, feeling an endless sense of heaviness and oppression in my chest. My head throbbed, and my heart felt as though it were being brutally torn apart, leaving behind a colossal, bottomless black void.

This was what Li Zhou had planned in his heart. He voiced it to Feng Feifei so that she could mentally prepare herself. He knew how immensely difficult this would be for her, yet it was something she had to face. He could not help her; having brought the matter to this point, he had already treated her quite generously.

Such a gesture made Shangguan Wan'er even more hesitant. She gazed at the two corpses for a very long time, yet could discern nothing. They were truly dead, their heads severed—could they still possibly be alive?

When Jiang Siquan caught sight of Guan Jintong and Jiang Sinan, he seemed somewhat surprised, but given that it was such a day, no scene was made after all.

Why did he have to do this? Why would he cast aside all his pride and self-respect just to kneel before such people?

Under the increasingly fierce burning of Zheng Fan's spiritual flame, the gentle, enlightening spiritual radiance acted like gasoline poured onto a fire, instead fueling the momentum of his spiritual flame as it began to spread toward the shattered void.

Xiao Yi's figure hastily vanished into the washroom, stumbling with unsteady footsteps along the way.

However, after walking forward for only a short while following You Tong, I saw a solitary skeleton sitting alone on the ground. Directly in front of the skeleton lay a map sealed beneath a thin layer of ice, and its appearance was identical to the one in my hand.

Once filming resumed, I pulled out the key and unlocked the door. The interior was completely empty, with nothing inside, yet it felt as though a chilly breeze was blowing through, instantly raising goosebumps on my skin and making the tattoo on my back throb with an increasingly intense resonance.

"Hehe, Brother Ye Han, your conscience has finally awakened! Our leader brother hides his depth so well, but now he can no longer conceal the repressed passion deep in his bones—you could truly call it overwhelmingly flamboyant!" President Ding looked at the leader with a sly smile and said.

On this point, Zhi Lian could offer no assistance. The acquaintances she had were all located beyond the mainland, and those people were unable to enter.

A heavy blow landed squarely on Chu Tianyu's back, striking him directly to the ground and causing all the tornadoes to vanish along with it.

However, their thoughts were not equivalent to Xu Wei's thoughts. The Xu family was governed by Xu Wei; everyone's gazes converged upon him, awaiting his decision.

The emblem of a mercenary corps represents honor, the blood ties of family, and the source of the greater part of one's spiritual sustenance.

Yet just as the black radiance reached its zenith, the sound of metal shattering suddenly rang out, and the dark glow dissipated accordingly. Chen Jing stood empty-handed, enveloped in a sheet of thick black fog before him. Within the fog, countless shards of a broken sword fluttered and drifted, descending alongside Chen Jing into the dark city of King Qin.

Dansai could well say that had he not left a faint, one-time-use trace on Liu Tian back then, he never would have been able to locate this place. But now that he had found it, he could finally take action.

If it were merely this, the Wraith Fleet would not have launched a large-scale invasion; there had to be other circumstances at play.

Liu Tian did not evade the issue. He certainly had no intention of suffering such "humiliation" while remaining utterly too cowardly to admit to it. Yet the moment Liu Tian nodded, Xu Yun's expression sank bit by bit.

One had to admit that the subordinates of Yamamoto Toshio possessed rather formidable martial prowess. The men he brought along were elite soldiers, and in one-on-one combat, they still found it somewhat strenuous. It was not that they were no match for their opponents, but securing victory was simply no easy task.

Gazing at the immense number of ghost soldiers outside the city, Duan Qiu had no particularly good solutions and could only slaughter his way through.

With a trembling voice, Long Tuo stared at Lin Meng, this junior who had previously seemed merely gifted. Only now did he abruptly realize that the other party's capabilities far surpassed anything he had imagined.

Though previous attempts had all been completed smoothly, Wang Ti still executed his series of layouts with utmost caution, quietly waiting for their prey to step into the trap.

"What a wonderful difference in cultivation philosophies! Then this seat dares to ask, what exactly is your philosophy?" Zhang Miao sneered.

Wen Yiming was deeply tempted. Land in the capital was exorbitantly expensive, and even the largest villas were restricted in size. Cloud Dragon Ridge was different—its environment was breathtakingly scenic, the space was vast, and most precious of all, one could plan and design it entirely according to one's own ideas. As for being far away? It was nothing more than a short drive.

Lu Jue, standing in the garden, watched Zhu Xian for a long time before tossing his precious sword to Ye Feng. He walked over to Zhu Xian, squatted down, a flash of icy coldness in his eyes, and said, "My forbearance toward you does not mean I fear you. But you—you challenge my bottom line time and time again. You brought this upon yourself, so don't blame me." With that, he reached out and clamped his hand around Zhu Xian's neck.

The plan was to halt before the Undead City, encircle it completely, and force the Zombie City to summon a massive army, thus executing the tactic of besieging a point to lure and annihilate reinforcements!

The marriage registration procedures here were extremely straightforward. One simply stated their name, and identity information was verified through a networked electronic system. Once confirmed that the person was not a wanted criminal, they could proceed to the next step.

These few remarks gave Mu Zhen a profound shock, making her realize that he was a man of his word. Striving as hard as she had to reach this day, it was hard to say this wasn't the outcome she wished to see. Moreover, the moment turmoil erupted would be the very moment she and her family would find it impossible to ever reunite.

Wen Yiming nodded. After all, the woman had helped out today, and although Mother Sun came from a rough background, her manners in treating others were courteous and proper, making him feel quite comfortable. This meal was an absolute must.

The several mercenaries guarding the perimeter of the large carriage were seasoned experts within the mercenary corps, all having reached the sixth tier, and they immediately rushed forward to engage. The bandits were numerous, and those who managed to charge through were the elite among them, also having attained the fifth tier or higher. The mercenaries failed to intercept them all, and several still rushed directly toward their position.
