Chapter 60: North of Dawn, South of Dusk

Chang'e tucked a strand of hair blown into disarray by the fierce wind behind her ear, her heart filled with profound astonishment. She wondered whether the God-King Physique was deliberately seeking its own destruction or if it truly possessed some formidable means.

The collision between the two produced a deafening, thunderous roar. Violent energy fluctuations swept outward in all directions from their point of impact like a surging tide, forming a terrifying vortex of wind with an astonishing and intimidating momentum.

Ultimately, after all discussions concluded, the two left the tavern. As they parted ways, Leng Xuanxuan's final words lingered repeatedly in Wu Hao's mind.

Before Wang Jin could even catch a glimpse of the figure, the person had already vanished. Gritting his teeth, Wang Jin continued on his way toward the West Flowery Gate.

A fierce sword Qi swept directly toward Wu Hao's chest, the violent wind howling in its wake like an oncoming hurricane.

Meanwhile, You Jingyan proved remarkably unflinching. Regardless of what Zhao Zhen said, a mocking, devil-may-care smile hung on the corners of You Jingyan's lips as he thoroughly tested the limits of his own refined upbringing.

Due to the resurgence of the Netherworld Palace, the Fish-Dragon clan had been driven to a desperate impasse. Though it might not yet be the absolute end of the road, facing the Netherworld Palace once again meant they could no longer maintain their former composure.

With his back turned, Li Mao said, "There's no need. I don't wish to see you ever again." With that, he flew straight away.

Looking at him, he wore a crimson-gold flaming crown with a dangling red tassel, and a purple-satin military robe embroidered with sea-and-cliff wave patterns over bright red inner garments, all atop a pair of tiger-headed golden boots. The striking multicolored tiger-skin belt around his waist was particularly conspicuous—this was Sun Jian's unique attire, and hanging from his side was none other than his father's treasured blade: the Pine-Patterned Ancient Ingot.

Alchemical refinement is further divided into several stages. Once the medicinal herbs are gathered, impurities must be extracted while retaining only the essence. For instance, if the energy contained within certain herbs is extremely volatile, milder and more balanced ingredients must be added to neutralize it, ensuring that cultivators will not be injured by the violent energy when consuming the pill.

Whether Gu Bei successfully obtained the intelligence of the Shiji family, failed in the attempt, or colluded with them, the outcome would prove advantageous to the Board of Directors.

However, the crisis was ultimately resolved by a structure in the center of Campbell City known as the Star-Observing Tower, which was in reality a hyper-terrifying mage tower.

A few seconds later, amidst the astonished gazes of everyone present, the body of the mutated monster suddenly began to shatter and disintegrate.

She raised her hand and spoke some words. Though Rilbako could not hear the sound, he felt an ancient and desolate aura hailing from primeval times.

With those words, Lilith leaped up to land atop the city wall. Facing the strong gale that whipped her uniform into a snapping frenzy, she extended her left hand.

Furthermore, the knowledge contained within the Heias Academy founded by that legendary mage Soins of the Aian Empire could be said to represent the quintessence of this era.

"With all that wealth of hers, can't she afford to hire a powerful sublimator to thoroughly purge the demonic essence from her body?" Luonan muttered speechlessly.

He Ning had told her that the door lock code had not been changed. If she returned and felt unsafe, she could change the password herself.

The Nanyang Gang was stationed at the Kyoto Medical University, located north of the Lanshan District in Kyoto, where advanced laboratories and medical equipment were readily available.

Feiyin departed, returning shortly afterward with a food box hanging from its tail chain large enough to hold a dozen creatures of its size.

Xu Hong skillfully located the parking spot where Wang Mengmin had left his car, expertly opened the door, and slipped into the passenger seat.

Nowadays, for the product known as Children's Calcium Milk, Feilong had already adopted a price war strategy to capture market share.

Coupled with the fact that Pei Yu had numerous anti-fans, with so many people waiting for her to make a fool of herself, Pei Nuoyi frequently pushed Pei Yu's scandals onto the trending searches.

Fu Ranchen possessed a formidable presence and unleashed a major ultimate move right from the start; once landed, no matter how skilled Lin Xingxin might be, she would be wiped out in a single wave.

If they revealed their trump cards right at the beginning, the subsequent negotiations would prove extremely unfavorable to them.

Although Shen Weilan had left the Mu estate, she remained fully aware of everything that transpired within it.

Upon hearing this, Li Shenxing and the others immediately sensed the gravity of the situation, making a preliminary assessment that Wu Chuanxin must have fled to escape justice.

With a single heave, the fish creature hoisted a half-man-high treasure chest and respectfully placed it before Ross, opening it to reveal a cache brimming with gold and jewels.

"Sigh... My son, those men were, after all, followers who served your father for many years. Is treating them this way really appropriate? Didn't you always champion benevolence and righteousness?" Tasting the meaning behind Ross's words, Teacher Kai suddenly let out a sigh, still holding a shred of leniency toward his subordinates.

The upper floor was divided into front and back sections by a folding screen. The front room was quite spacious, furnished with a round table and square chairs, upon which sat wine cups and other drinking utensils, releasing a rich aroma of wine.

"Rest assured, I have said it many times: we will be together forever, and we will never be separated from each other—and of course, the babies too," Lin Jiuge said softly.

He figured that returning tomorrow would be fine; anyway, he didn't have many belongings, and packing them casually would be easy since having a car made transportation very convenient.

Gritting his teeth, Xu Tianxiong tossed over the fifty thousand catties of source essence he had scraped together from all directions, then turned on his heel and walked away.

A premonition of ill omen stirred in Qin Yun's heart. After instructing the younger brother and sister not to run too far, he headed toward the main hall.

Unexpectedly, no sooner had this thought crossed her mind than the vehicle made several consecutive sharp turns, jolting her so violently she nearly toppled over. Another quarter-hour of travel passed before she heard the creaking sound of a large gate opening.

Cheng Huang had utilized merely 4 points to elevate 'Life Activation' to the third tier. At this stage, the skill began to yield tangible effects; whenever Miao Huai performed his morning and evening physical conditioning routines, activating the skill helped accelerate the dissipation of fatigue.

Perhaps because they had made the news the previous night, the crew members kept casting curious glances in their direction.

Ji Anzhi had never known that a sunrise could constitute such a breathtaking visual feast, and she remained lost in awe for a long time.

Lightning crisscrossed the pitch-black night sky, appearing exceptionally dazzling as bolt after bolt struck the earth. The students were utterly terrified by the harrowing flashes, wondering if a torrential downpour was about to ensue.

A glint of a different hue flickered briefly through Qingqing's eyes as well. She pressed her lips together and swallowed back the words that had already reached the tip of her tongue.

"..." Everyone was momentarily struck dumb. Leng's father and mother exchanged shakes of the head and headed to the dining room as well, leaving Leng Yu and Lan Ruolin with no choice but to follow along helplessly, seeing as they still had to eat after all.

And you—after eighteen years of careful planning, will you truly be able to reduce this burning rage to ashes? Yet, even if so, is this genuinely the best path for you?

Feng Ran had now regained consciousness, though her wounds far outnumbered those of Lan Ling'er. Plagued by both internal and external injuries, she would not improve without at least half a month of recuperation. Even Mu Qing could only shake his head repeatedly upon seeing her, a look of unbearable pity flashing in his eyes.
