93. Greed

Bai Zongnan opened his eyes and saw his little sister, her face streaked with tears.

"Tongtong." Bai Zongnan opened his mouth and managed, with great difficulty, to force out the two words.

"Brother, I am sorry." Pinlan Sitong choked out, "It was Tongtong who dragged you down."

"It is all right, Tongtong." Bai Zongnan shook his head. He reached out and gently stroked his sister's soft black hair, comforting her in a low voice. "This is not your fault. No one could have foreseen that the demon clan would launch a sudden ambush."

Pinlan Sitong lowered her gaze.

Gu Boqing glanced at Dugu Zhisui, as if unsure whether to say anything. After a moment, he explained everything, including his connection to the Li family and the full sequence of causes and consequences.

Li Yannan went rigid all over. Having once wandered from city to city, he knew all too well what such words meant. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and ran out at once.

His words left most of the people present surging with excitement. If it had not been inappropriate, they would have been applauding already.

"Hey, don't look so discouraged. You still have to believe in yourselves. Besides, there's still a month left. A month is enough to change quite a few things. There's still time. What you should be doing now is studying hard!" Han Feng tried his best to make himself seem lofty as he lectured the two of them.

Han Feng left the Shangguan residence, still full of confusion. To choose a servant, they actually had to go through three or five rounds of tests; the whole day had not even been enough, and tomorrow he would have to continue. He was truly at a loss for words. But complaint aside, he could at least say he had fought through every hurdle today and emerged with an easy victory.

She stood up and went with Xuan Yuan Ye to look around, but as she looked, a jumble of images suddenly flashed through her mind again, and she came to an abrupt stop.

He changed this world, yet he was endlessly questioned. Someone had once pointed a sword at the heavens and asked in grief and indignation: Jiang Ziya, is this the world you wanted?

Chen Yunming frowned in thought. Though new developments had arisen, he remained fixated on carrying out the plan, and the hunger in his heart to obtain Wanru's body grew even hotter.

"Didn't I say I was going to get some food for A Yan?" Lin Zhi said, shaking the paper parcel in his hand.

Just the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers of the Immortal Realm who had besieged Flower-Fruit Mountain alone—how terrifying was their strength, exactly?

Without changing her expression, Qing Xian'er edged a little closer to Mu Yi, and Qin Le, seeing this, already felt a raging fire burning in his heart.

Disaster is merciless, but the human world is not. The citizens of Qingsheng City stood united as one, resisting the calamity and rescuing their fellow sufferers.

Yet Yanwu's shadow, through the pain, still pursued relentlessly. It was determined to devour Yanwu completely.

With a muffled thud, Mu Yi was instantly slammed to the ground by that overwhelming pressure. It was like a savage tiger, pinning him down so fiercely that he could not rise.

Though the shackles of the divine path were the manifestation of the laws of the Divine Ruins, they still paled beside such supreme power as the primal demonic light. Wherever that light passed, those divine shackles melted away at once, like snow under the spring sun.

"You've always hidden in the shadows and used underhanded tricks. What now, planning a direct assault?" Qing Lingzi asked Sangmen.

"Uh, Shilan, when did you get here?" Zhou Tian, who had been on the verge of laughing, happened to glance to his side. His smile stiffened at once, and he asked in an awkward voice.

"Why are you asking that? I should be asking you instead—how are things going between you and Ziling? Stop thinking about games all day, like Dark Shadow. Can't you learn something better?" Qingtianzhu shot Qisha a hard glare and said irritably.

The breathtaking figure lifted her head slightly, long hair streaming in the wind. Beneath the faint moonlight, her face was white as snow, and her pair of black, ice-cold eyes seemed to peer into all the darkness. She no longer bothered to conceal her锋芒, and it was impossible not to feel drawn to her, or even submit before her. At that moment, Jiu'er was completely stunned by Lan Rongyue's appearance, and she lowered her head slightly to steady her mind.
