Chapter 58: A Narrow Escape

The first disciple to receive the Soul Gathering Pill saw the other begin absorbing the medicine, so he placed the pill in his own mouth and sat cross-legged on the ground, starting to absorb the soul power within it.

“One at ten thousand each, that's so cheap. Give me ten right away,” said Mrs. Zhang with a cheerful smile.

Yet he never expected Wan Miao to bring him to the research institute of the Wan Group, a place guarded so tightly. At this moment, he felt a rush of excitement, mixed with a secret sense of astonishment.

Wu Zhiqi, harnessing the power of the Heavenly Eye, radiated silver light, transforming into a silver-white sun, larger than the golden sun in the sky, though the divine energy inside was less potent; after all, that was a great ability displayed by a venerable elder.

Just then, Wu Yingying approached Wan Miao. Her gaze was sharp as she scanned the room, then handed Qiuqiu to Wan Miao and whispered, “Let Qiuqiu search the room—see if there are any weapons.” Wan Miao immediately set Qiuqiu on the floor and gestured to it.

Sheng Xia Nian, as the station director of Voice of China and the chief executive and director of the evening gala, would never allow a single mistake. He supervised nearly every detail and step himself—otherwise, he simply couldn't rest easy.

Indeed, such chaos was hard to contain. Injured people at the scene, summoning all their strength, were desperately snatching others’ gate badges.

“The situation seems dire...” muttered the green head, still regretful, unaware how obvious things had become.

Even though the Battle God physique was terrifying, it was not invincible. Under Ji Mo’s relentless assault, cracks had begun to appear.

“If only you wouldn’t tease me...” Aisha said as she drew a pair of jade bells from her waist pouch, waving them teasingly before Zhou Xingyun’s eyes.

This was why the Snow Region was among the most mysterious places—so much so that even the Eyeball Bear wouldn't provoke the Snow Phantom. Living in peace with them, the Snow Phantom was an anomaly on the Illusion Continent, the only creature inclined toward harmony.

With a tone firm, angry, and aggrieved, his eyes reddened as he spat out both sentences in a single breath. Afterward, he rushed out the door, leaning against an Audi parked outside to smoke.

The Primordial Spear appeared again. Blue Moon, stepping over corpses of monsters, arrived beside Lin Yi, as did all the disciples of the Auspicious Cloud Hall.

With a cotton hat covering his mouth and nose, there was nothing odd—except for the heavy basket in his hand, which clearly did not hold food. He never opened the white cloth to retrieve anything.

Beside him, Zhang Qihang reached out and led Long Qingqing out of the room. He dared not stay any longer, afraid that his newly kindled hope would be utterly extinguished by the elders’ pessimism.

In the end, Chunfei was appointed to oversee all affairs of the prince’s residence, instructed to wait until the Blade Princess returned before handing over authority.

Such was the terror of the Demon Chain—once trapped, the mind would be imprisoned in illusions forever, until exhaustion brought death.

Everyone knew the enemy was targeting new technologies—especially light technology, which was nearly impossible to replicate and could only be acquired through original techniques. These technical documents—and even the scientists—became prime targets for those with ulterior motives.

From a political standpoint, Xiao Muzan was the appointed steward of Donghai County, a top official. Even the Han family had to show him some respect.

Two agonized screams echoed, but I realized even then it was not enough to vent my fury.

Guan Mingwei’s heartstrings were struck as if by an invisible hand, making his heart pound wildly.

Huang Ying noticed his greedy gaze, quickly stowing the crystal into her storage pouch.

Such excellent things must all be learned. After all, Lu Chen had more spirit stones than anyone—so long as materials were sufficient, he would never hesitate to learn more skills.

The Star Sea Divine Essence, after falling onto Bai Ling'er, slowly seeped into her body.

Although his compatriots were protected by He Chenguang and others, he still did not feel at ease about their safety.

Cheng Tao wanted to find an excuse, opening his mouth but not daring to speak, intimidated by Ye Feng’s cold stare.

“An Zhijing!” Wen Xiaorou strode over in high heels, stopping at An Zhijing’s desk and shouting angrily.

“No need, it’s too much trouble for Director Yan,” An Zhijing refused, not wanting any entanglement with Yan Mingzhou.

“A fine pair of brows—she dares to threaten me? I’ll see what tricks she can play.” Mo Nanchen, knowing her extreme temperament, went to the banquet with a cold face.

Lu Chen grew more confused as he read, finally coming across some official language stating that peculiar items in the laboratory were about to lose control, requesting that more purification items be dispatched.

“Fifth Brother—is it Zhang Family’s Fifth Brother?” Li Xu jumped from his horse, probing with his question. The visitor had been too busy crying to give a name; it was impossible to recognize the once elegant scholar Zhang Xiu from the county academy beneath the dirt-caked face and hair.

Ye Feng had no choice but to keep walking. He was at the outskirts of Prison Mountain, thirty-six thousand miles from the main peak where the legendary tier-nine beast roamed. If he went another ten thousand miles, he’d cross the barren Red Stone Land and enter the western region of Canghong.

A tank, but his mind was not on protecting the rear—he wanted to cut through the enemy’s backline, always seeking opportunities.

The werewolf shouted immediately, unleashing the ultimate skill he’d prepared in advance, launching a berserk attack on the Web Prophet.

He walked over. Xia Yun and the others were still mocking Lin Jian, whose face was flushed with anger as he glared at them.

“This area is vast and sparsely populated. We don’t know the enemy’s situation, nor do they know ours,” Li Xu nodded and smiled. He understood what kind of support Liu Hongji needed at this moment, and now that it had come to this, he would provide whatever help he could.
