Volume 1, Chapter 62: Returning to the Homeland

"Didn't you already know that I knew who you were?" She gave a light, shallow smile, making her heart skip a beat.

Entering the herb garden, Meng Qi looked at the familiar scenery, but the voices and faces of Cheng Ruowei and the others had already surfaced in his mind.

Fatty He was also racking his brains to figure out what was going on. He rubbed his chin with a headache, and suddenly, a flash of complete understanding dawned upon him.

"Our house has turned into a dog kennel," Bai Lingge said, putting her hands on her hips and expressing her utter helplessness.

These words played right into Su Nan's intentions. First came a round of apologies, followed by the declaration that he would not let this matter rest and would definitely seek revenge, asking Uncle Nangong to help locate their residence. Nangong Linyun agreed.

I do not know how much time passed, but perhaps the blockade of the main entrance by the Seven Masters of Wudang had taken effect. The bridge gradually cleared up, and the people in the river climbed ashore one after another, sitting by the bank and panting heavily. After a short while, compared to the previous clamor, the surroundings suddenly grew much quieter.

"What?" This statement caused Qing Huazi's jaw to drop in astonishment. Because the matters concerning Shanshan and Quchen had not been widely publicized, and Qing Huazi had been in seclusion for years, this was the first time he had heard of it.

Seeing his opportunity, Su Nan took aim at the dark-faced man and pulled the trigger. The grenade flew toward the man's head. The dark-faced man was just about to unleash a major move when he sensed an oncoming foreign object. Realizing it was too late to dodge completely, he could only twist away from his vital organs and use his arm to take the grenade head-on.

"We need to regulate the range of our employing clients!" Hei Lingge made up her mind and slapped her thigh with her palm.

By the time he slowly opened his eyes, Chu Lian was already awake, nestled in his arms with a pair of clear eyes fixed on his face.

Although secretly controlled by the Dawn Church, on the surface, the Principality of Meihe did not look much different than before. However, the undercurrents surging beneath were something ordinary people could never touch.

She discovered that once cultivators from Huaxia stepped onto the arena stage, nine times out of ten their opponents would resort to desperate, do-or-die combat styles. Under such circumstances, quite a few people had already been forced to step down due to severe injuries.

The Boss's attack was clearly landed on Leek Soup Dumpling, but Talking Plum Brewing Wine and South City Paper Fan were within three meters of Leek Soup Dumpling and likewise took damage from the Boss.

Within the span of a single sentence, Liu Tianhao had already dragged Jia Xu to the host's seat, pressing down on both of Jia Xu's shoulders to force him to sit right in the seat he had previously occupied.

Although intermediate recovery potions could offset the bleeding state of the contusion strike, his current health pool was not up to standard and simply could not withstand the basic damage of the skill.

The longsword and the beam saber collided, yet not the slightest sound was produced. With a single deft deflection and pull, Lingyun easily brushed aside Tohka Yatogami's beam saber and simultaneously repelled her with a shockwave.

The martial arts displayed by Zhao Gou at the very last moment not only terrified Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Sheng, but left everyone else completely stunned and dumbfounded. They had never imagined that anyone's martial arts could reach such a realm; looking across the entire Jin Dynasty, there was no one who could match him.

Protected by Young Master Yan and Xinan, Lu Xia was being pressed step-by-step by the fierce ghosts, having retreated from the platform back onto the suspension bridge. Only the five most powerful and difficult-to-handle fierce ghosts remained. Both Young Master Yan and Xinan were completely exhausted, and the three of them were now on the verge of backing right into the fire trap... With no path forward and nowhere to retreat.

On the day Lelouch scheduled the public execution of the prisoners, everyone looked forward to the masked man in black who led the Black Knights to resist Britannia's tyranny—the one who repeatedly created "miracles," the undefeated myth known as Zero.

After his slam dunk, Sakuragi stood there in a slight daze, entirely uncharacteristic of him. He did not loudly celebrate nor wear his usual goofy grin, just sitting blankly on the bench as if he still couldn't believe that everything that had just happened was his own doing.

Once believers achieve complete detachment from worldly desires, they transform into pious followers of Buddhism. The power of faith provided by pious followers is exceptionally pure; such faith-generating power asks for nothing in return, and refining it brings no karmic burden. Who wouldn't love such believers?

Using Flash of Void to open up the distance, the Earth Dragon King condensed Dragon Horn Lightning on its twin horns. "Whoosh!" The Dragon Horn Lightning transformed into a ball of thunder and slammed into my back. I only felt a slight heaviness behind me, accompanied by a thrusting momentum pushing me forward. Checking my status to find myself unharmed, the word "MISS" serenely popped up above my head.

"Look, I don't really know how to put this either; I can only say it's just too much of a coincidence. Because my guy here must have had some terrible luck—his direction of lightning development happened to crash head-on into the development direction of that Ghost Face. That makes his superpower look chillingly similar to that Chu Ling's superpower," Yelena hurriedly spoke up upon seeing this.

Listening to the playful bantering of the two maidservants, a smile finally reappeared at the corners of Lü Xiang'er's mouth. Yet in her heart, she was pondering Lüyun's "suggestion"—to marry both Lǔwēi and Lǔyūn off to men within the estate so that both maids could stay. However, since Lüwei already had someone she fancied, she would have to help Lüyun find someone she liked as well.

Not having the heart to shoot the attacking Wuchuan Wuhuan people, the Xianbei soldiers paid the price by allowing the Wuhuan warriors to get close, resulting in them being shot and wounded or killed outright.
