Chapter 116: Atonement

She smiled gently and patted everyone on the shoulder.

"See? I'm perfectly fine."

Lei Haoran stood up, hands on his hips, and let out a sudden sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're alright. If anything had happened to you, Gu Hansheng would have razed this place to the ground... just kidding."

After receiving a fierce glare from Gu Hansheng, he instantly fell silent, his playful expression vanishing.

The group surrounded Shi Yi.

He is young, has high test scores, and possesses clinical internship experience abroad; the only question is when he intends to finalize this matter.

Aside from the metal workbench and the furnace, the area was filled with metal racks over three meters tall. On these racks sat bizarrely shaped firearms, each equipped with a mini oxygen tank-like device at the rear.

"Father, King Kaoshan Yang Lin commands a strong army. While it may be possible to intercept the Huanggang from him, relying on a few mountain strongholds seems insufficient. The endeavor is fraught with peril; one wrong move, and all efforts will be for naught," Pei Qingxuan said.

As the saying goes, the world tends to unite after a long period of division and divide after a long period of unity. Finally, following the fall of the Yunlan Sect, a great wave of change was set in motion.

Li De shook his head. He was no warmonger; there were many ways to resolve problems that didn't necessarily require force. For instance, these people simply longed for a stable life.

To Marlin, neither royalty nor nobility held any divine right. Although gods existed in this world, they seemed to have no interest in the affairs of mortal kingdoms.

Beyond Xuanyuan Po and the others, a vast expanse of forest lay a century ahead. Those towering ancient trees, while incredibly lush, were deathly still, without a trace of wind, making them appear all the more eerie.

"Mike, I don't know why you were in such a rush to get me to San Francisco. I'm about to throw up from all that time on the ship," a line of text scrolled across the fat orange cat's head.

In almost an instant, three or four Death Eaters were blown to pieces, limbs flying and green blood splattering. The black woman suddenly wore a harmonious smile and nodded repeatedly.

Facing the onslaught, Jing Tian did not retreat in the slightest. His eyes shimmered with a brilliant, clear light, and that awe-inspiring, inviolable divine might manifested into the sharpest invisible blade in the world, colliding with the attack.

Hearing An Xia say this, Lu Jinchen became even more self-absorbed, mistakenly believing that An Xia was being very attentive to him.

He had heard about a car accident today, and out of curiosity, he went to look when he heard a familiar voice, never expecting it to be the person he had been searching for all along.

When Ren Nan emerged from the room just now, he discovered that all the facilities and living quarters were underground, with logistics also managed subterraneanly, while above them appeared to be a forest.

"What I want most is to die to atone for my sins!" Chu Dongcai did not answer him, but instead said this.

In some parts of the Northeast, there is indeed such a saying. "Hengsi" refers to dying an unnatural death, such as in a car accident or an unexpected tragedy. "Xiongwang" refers to those who die by homicide or decapitation. According to superstition, such people carry too much resentment at the time of death and are prone to haunting their graves, so they cannot be buried in the ancestral cemetery.

This time, I could no longer keep up the act. Without waiting for the bat-dragon to get closer, I turned and sprinted toward the row of stone tablets behind me. My feet accelerated, but the sound of the wind roared behind me, closing in bit by bit.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to ruthlessly exploit the old turtle, and to do so continuously.

An Ni Ting always kept her family in mind. Throughout her years as a courtesan, she sent all the private savings she had accumulated back to her hometown.

Wu Xun felt that Huazhi had a talent for drawing talismans, but these were only fifth-grade peak-level talismans. Outside, there were Void Refining demons appearing from time to time; these could, at most, cause superficial wounds to those ancient monsters—a lethal blow was impossible.

Li Qi was left speechless. The speed of this creature was truly no slower than an airplane, though it was quite large. Its neck blocked the airflow, so lying on top of it was not particularly uncomfortable.
