Volume 1, Chapter 40: The Aftermath

“Lord Madara, that is going too far…”

After witnessing the Third Raikage fall in battle, a flicker of anger passed through Fengtian’s eyes.

He stared fixedly at Uchiha Madara before him, waiting for the latter to offer him an explanation.

“Fengtian…”

“Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?”

“My mother and I have taken shelter in a ruined temple. Mother sent me to ask my uncle for help, and she is still waiting for news from me.” Zhang Ziliao wiped away his tears.

That was An Ling, the Wither King and ruler of Hell—the artificial intelligence of the Bright Wisdom tier. The mere word “Wither” was enough to make every creature in the primary world fall silent and submit obediently, to say nothing of the fact that her evolutionary stage had reached the unparalleled Bright Wisdom realm.

The explosions continued without pause. Their flames dyed the sky crimson, while billowing smoke rose into the air. Even from far away, one could feel the searing heat and smell the charred air. Thunderous echoes rolled through the surrounding valleys, unceasing and immense.

The spearmen retreated in terror, hoping to escape the weapon’s firing range. But the third wave of infantry pressed forward from behind, blocking their retreat. Countless men screamed as they were impaled and turned into human pincushions.

“Stop arguing. I’ll tell you why I understand them better than you do.” Rose’s chest heaved violently. What she was about to say required enormous courage.

“It’s not as if I did it on purpose! I only just got here, and they were here too!” Wang Dashan said to me, looking both aggrieved and irritated.

As for Xie Wujie himself, although Zhu Nao did not raise his official rank, she took advantage of the opportunity to grant him a marquisate with a fief of three thousand households.

Yu Qing’s expression darkened. “Impossible.” According to the information from Wei Zhen’s side, there should still have been another two or three days.

Precisely because they were so alike, each understood the other’s weaknesses and aversions all too well. Neither could tolerate the person they loved harboring thoughts of another man.

The other soldiers had all gone to the front to hold back the demons. Lei Ting, commander of the thousand-man unit, remained where she was on standby, prepared to coordinate with Liu Xinghe.

As for the martial arts and traditional medicine available in Xu’s world, they had already been acquired. Aside from artificial intelligence, there was essentially nothing else left to explore for the time being.

Zhong Qin printed out the contract and handed one copy to Long Tai. She pointed at Ma Jinsong, and when she saw that his face was still flushed, she could not help laughing again. The moment she did, Ma Jinsong became even more flustered.

After hearing the full explanation, Hinata Tianren sighed with emotion and began to relate that this place also had a Hinata Sunflower—except that she had died at the age of twelve.

Yi Shaotian sighed. “You’ve all worked hard. I’ll get some water myself.” With that, he darted into the cabin like a streak of wind.

Feng Xiang apologized to Su Chen inwardly, yet the corner of his eye remained fixed on his junior sister, whose bearing was as delicate and lovely as a tender pink lotus.

In recent years, people from the Kingdom of Sel had been visiting the Central Plains with increasing frequency. Their purpose was to observe the region and determine where they might begin.

Sima Kong faced Ye Shang, while the Iron-Faced Demon Liu Yu confronted Master Ku Wen. As for Sect Master Ouyang, he and Xiao Ling’er fought one another to a standstill.

The diluted Sacred Dragon Juice prepared by Long Tai continued to work miracle after miracle, giving those who had already been abandoned a chance to survive.

Yi Shaotian nodded with a smile, then seized the opportunity to slip into the water in a few swift movements, leaving only his head above the surface.

In his heart, even without Ning Hao saying anything, he would treat his wives well. He believed they had been his wives from the very beginning, so how could he possibly fail to cherish them?

Sun Jing would not betray Qin Feng’s trust and agreed at once. However, what Sun Jing truly had in mind was how to help Qin Feng escape those side effects—or find Xia Chen’s biological father and aid Qin Feng that way.
