Chapter 128: A New Divine Ability
As that piercing shriek flooded his mind, Lu Chenyuan felt his spirit plummet, instantly dragged into an ancient, blood-drenched battlefield. Gazing out, he saw a sky of leaden gray and melancholy clouds, the landscape littered with broken banners, shattered halberds, and the carnage of the fallen. A million corpses lay prostrate, blood flowing so deep it carried away the pestles. Countless stragglers and displaced orphans wandered amidst this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, wailing and weeping; the misery of their cries sounded like ten thousand ghosts lamenting in unison.
He leapt down from the tree, landing squarely in the Ren family courtyard just as Uncle Jiu and Ren Weiyong were locked in a stalemate. Mo Yuan took a wide detour, entering from the back of the Western-style mansion.
During the interview, Liu Lu inquired in detail about Yi Luo’s previous work experience and professional knowledge as listed on his resume, and Yi Luo answered with effortless fluency. The entire interview proceeded smoothly.
"Bichou, as for your future, I shall plan and protect it for you." He could not admit that he still loved her; this was the only vow he could offer.
Meng Ying thrust her long sword into the void, aiming directly at the layers of demonic radiance pouring forth from beneath the dark bell.
Once the matter was settled, the conclusion was that a window had been left open, allowing the wind to knock over a brazier and spark the fire. Because of this finding, Qin Fang only received a fine and a stern warning.
Yu Zhiyi still harbored a slight resentment regarding the decision to have the Black Empress, Xiang Ranyi, retire to the Heavenly Border.
Within a few moves, Ling Yunpo utilized his vast experience to suppress both the Kaiyue and Changbing swords using only his Qingping sword. The Shuangjiang sword seized the opportunity to flank him, coming to rest against Lin Duanshan’s back.
"I will sit with you for a moment; I have a phone call to return shortly." Jiucai reached out to wrap his arm around Bai Jieyu’s waist, pulling her close.
"Bang!" Yi Luo bolted upright, only to realize he was sitting on his bed, the morning sun already flooding in through the window.
A long sword had appeared in Meng Ying’s hand, its blade shimmering with a chilling light. As the moonlight reflected off the steel, the faint image of a crescent moon could be seen etched upon the metal.
"Aren't you eating?" Luo Qin picked up some food with her chopsticks, popped it into her mouth, and looked at Lin Peng with curiosity, completely oblivious to the gazes surrounding them.
"Company Commander, I’ve brought what you asked for. Oh, and Instructor, Cao Mengang is waiting for you downstairs," a soldier reported as he entered.
Liu Fan observed the man’s features, attire, and demeanor, and listened to his refined speech; he truly seemed like a descendant of royalty. Liu Fan was taken aback. The other people of Loulan began to whisper among themselves. The pressure on Liu Fan mounted, and in his desperation, he could think of no solution.
He then dissipated his spiritual power, directing it toward the area he had just pierced, gently nurturing the damaged tissues.
"Hmph, don't think that just because I’m keeping quiet, I can’t deal with you. I only need to check the pharmacy records to deduce who concocted these pills!" Qing Yuanling flicked his sleeve, revealing his trump card.
Tusu spoke, then ran back toward the court to explain the situation to the juniors. Everyone urged Tusu to take the other party to the infirmary to get checked out.
"Why have you two sat down again! You haven't completed the mission objective, yet you're already slacking off!" Uesugi Keiko stood with her hands on her hips, emerging from the Dou Beauty.
"Hey, hey, you aren't just planning to play around, are you?" Gan Ruo pressed on. Gan Tian, who was being held by her, was looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. Ever since they brought up the topic from last night, he had begun to drift off, his mind filling in various images.
Uesugi Keiko stared at Guo Nianfei through her glasses; she had prepared for this for so long! Finally, she had waited for this day. For nearly ten years, her most cherished dream was not about what the Uesugi family could achieve, but that she could make Guo Nianfei acknowledge her and allow her to remain by his side.
In this manner, everyone became flustered. Some suggested sending him to the hospital, some wanted to find a Taoist priest, and others went to boil sugar water. Even the neighbors ran over, but it was all to no avail.
