Volume One, Chapter 42: I Come from Hell

Master Void looked at Xu Zhiyi, who stood calmly in the main hall, and spoke in a leisurely tone.

“Even Buddha, who saves all living beings, cannot save himself. Benefactor, you must first lay down the demons in your heart and cast aside the grievances of the past. In time, your own destiny will reveal itself.”

Before Xu Zhiyi could say a word, Xu Yunwan suddenly tore away her veil.

“Everyone, look! The eldest daughter of the Xu family has dared to speak disrespectfully to Master Void. She clearly does not take any of you seriously.”

Following Pang Bo’s guidance, Ye Fan did not even bother to choose carefully. He directly purchased five source stones—the Fiery Sun Stone, Wind-Moving Stone, Demon Embryo, Immortal Tomb, and Blood Sacrificial Altar—and cut them open in that order.

Just as they arrived, a deep, distant bell suddenly rang out across heaven and earth. Everyone was shocked, their bodies trembling violently.

Lao Liu was drenched in cold sweat; even his pajamas felt damp. When he glanced at the clock, it was only a little past two in the morning, so he told his wife beside him what had happened in his dream.

After hearing this, the other person said nothing more. I grabbed Lin Yi beside me and headed for the seats at the back of the classroom.

However, because their bodies were so enormous, the divine power they gathered each day was beyond imagination.

Lingxi took a sip of tea and cast the other person a cool glance. Just looking at him made her sick. She truly could not understand what kind of taste the original owner had to fall for a man like that.

Madam Yang suddenly thought of a way. From that moment onward, she would curry favor with Young Miss Yang and mend the broken relationship between them.

Hai Yixing and I carried the dishes to the dining room one after another, and I suddenly felt the long-lost warmth of home.

Murong Nuan had never advocated giving children the very best protection. Children ought to be allowed to learn something about the realities of life, in moderation.

Second, as Lu Heng’s cultivation advanced into the Human Immortal realm, his control over his physical body had reached an inconceivable level.

As she walked inward, thinking about all these things, everyone who saw the disappointment on her face fell silent, afraid to say a word.

Boris’s words eased the tension in the room somewhat. According to him, Alva was safe, while Kogalk and the others were in danger. Although his claim was hardly reliable, at least it allowed everyone to feel that they were not deserters. It was, without a doubt, a form of psychological consolation.

Mu Annuan stepped forward and asked her a question. Her eyes were clear as water, no longer filled with desire as they had been before.

Gyarados trembled faintly. Clearly, pulling the chain taut and drawing the iron spike from its body had caused excruciating pain. Even so, it did not thrash about, only letting out a low, anguished growl.

Huo Ci snatched the pistol from the bodyguard behind him and fired several shots in rapid succession. Smoke immediately filled the banquet hall, gunpowder hanging thick in the air as screams echoed all around them.

Everyone chatted and laughed, eating and drinking together. Guye and Qiansheng were the only exceptions. As for the rest of us, we took advantage of the occasion to celebrate properly and make up for everything we had missed.

In the lobby, everyone remained very quiet. That was also because no one had enabled the all-microphone function. Such competitions did not allow everyone to speak openly, since many teams knew one another, and too much voice communication might affect the fairness of the game.

Just as everyone was beginning to relax their guard, the figure in the distance seemed to change its mind and began walking toward them again. The nerves that had just loosened instantly tightened once more.

“Good!” Tian Yangsheng wanted only Ma Tianshou’s head. As for everything else, he had no interest in knowing.

After learning of Lin Feng’s educational philosophy, Changmei was deeply moved. Presumably, Senior Lin had chosen Hangcheng not only to raise his younger sister, Lin Yue, but also because he regarded the Divine Music Sect as an experimental subject.

Yu Xuan had never understood Chongli in the past. It was only after he himself developed feelings that he finally realized why Chongli had once been so steadfast—why he had even been willing to abandon his position as the Fire God and live as an ordinary mortal.

If the cursed artifact was not found within the allotted time, then once their perception weakened, it would truly become impossible to determine where the cursed artifact was.
