Chapter 100: Rushing Off to the Next Life

Cao Mang was too lazy to bother about others biting the dog and didn’t expect Long Hao to be waiting right at his doorstep, so he had no choice but to get out of the car to greet him.

“Commander Long, what brings you here?”

Seeing his politeness, Long Hao was slightly taken aback but quickly broke into a hearty smile.

“Haha, no need to be so formal, little brother. I just happened to be passing by and thought I’d pay a visit. Won’t you invite your big brother in for a cup of tea?”

At that moment, Miao Buxing was startled inwardly. He was currently hesitant and needed Ling Zhi’s advice. Suddenly, he felt the undeniable truth—he was truly getting old.

Li Yu wielded the Fire Blue Blade to swiftly block; the two daggers clashed fiercely, producing an eerie metallic ringing.

Of course, regarding the hospital excuse, Jiang Meng and the others were well aware of the truth. After all, they were just “inferior” temporary workers!

“So whose blood is that on you?” Miao Buxing still couldn’t believe it. Ling Zhi had actually betrayed him at this critical final moment.

Perhaps the reason the man in black attacked was that only Lin Tianci could keep up with him, while Ao San was still behind. He launched a sneak strike—if it landed, Ao San wouldn’t even be able to catch the attacker’s shadow.

Seeing Nan Xi’s smile, Shen Yunting felt his whole body go numb. His eyes focused solely on Nan Xi, rendering Liu Tingchan and Shen Yunxi nothing more than invisible air.

Ming Yue clicked her tongue in amazement. She figured this person wasn’t just simple-minded but was missing a vital nerve, stubbornly slow-witted, only able to resonate with the mundane world.

Chi Yue’s heart tightened as she groped in the darkness, trying to find where he was injured, but Qiao Dongyang suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“No, we must be certain that old monster is truly dead before returning to the Underworld. If he’s not dead, given his nature, he will surely wreak havoc among mortals, bringing untold destruction,” Yan Shi shook his head gravely.

This reasoning was perfectly logical. The Moon Elves knew of dimensional travel, but evidently, they shared the elves’ deep love for home and never wandered recklessly between realms like other travelers.

If one successfully passed through the Heavenly Punishment, it would be a complete purification for both form and spirit. The mortal body’s furnace would not be preserved, but the immortal’s undying soul, having absorbed all the experiences left in this life, would greatly expand its insight—nearly gaining full understanding of worldly affairs and human hearts.

You once used the essence of plants and trees as an example, comparing it to the immortal’s cave sky barrier you carry, and mentioned the Pure Yang Technique created by the High Yang Heavenly Emperor. With your current achievements, could you evolve a similar profound method, akin to the divine powers displayed by this essence of flora?

At that time, the Wuwei Kingdom had just suffered through war, its mountains and rivers shattered. To consolidate and restore its strength, it returned favors to those upstream. Recently, the kingdom had recovered well, and Qin showed no sign of southern invasion. So, Wuwei sought to reclaim that territory, leading to a brutal conflict with the Zongye Kingdom, with neither side relenting.

Then, he threw the assassin toward the window, following closely behind himself. This both confused the sentries outside and eliminated the target.

There, on the edge of a massive floating platform suspended in the sky, stood an enormous fortress also levitating high above.

“All right, no need to say more—I believe you are indeed the one,” Lin Yan said with a smile.

At this moment, the only thing real and tangible to him—the only warmth he could feel—was the tears at the corner of his eyes. Yet those tears were slipping away from him.

A large number of demon generals were quietly gathering toward the Sacred Mother’s Palace. Among them, not a single one entered through the main gate openly; all had scaled the walls to infiltrate.

“I’ve already obtained the items, and the king has agreed to your terms of exchange. Can we proceed with the swap now?” Kaijia Copperbeard asked.

Of course, the unveiling wouldn’t require the leader to drag down hundreds of meters of cloth by hand. At the front of the viewing platform, there was a well-decorated rope; pulling it would naturally trigger a mechanism to raise the curtain.
