Chapter 116: Taking One's Own Life to Return to the Heavens

“Zhou Yuan, what exactly do you intend to do? I bear you no grudge from recent days nor from long ago! Why have you brought men to besiege me?” Shen Xin spoke these words as Tang Ziran leapt onto the back of the great goose, which he then commanded to soar into the sky.

The great goose had only risen a few dozen meters when it suddenly crashed against a barrier with a loud bang. Immediately after, a torrent of bullets rained down like a storm.

Feng Jiu and Baili Gu Youxue exchanged a glance and nodded in silent agreement. They followed Feng Xi and Jin Jiaye, walking slowly through the Laya Land.

Compared to her, Lexiang’s worries were far fewer. Even among spirit nurturers, the hierarchy was rigid and severe. As for Lexiang, the lords of the Eight Continents had been nothing more than distant figures she had barely glimpsed, unfamiliar even in appearance. The only spirit nurturer she had ever met was the one before her now, Xinxima.

Ling Qianqian sneered coldly. It seemed Lin Feiye had been so shaken by her that she didn’t even attempt a final struggle.

Since the demonization incident, Lexiang had once again targeted the Balance Association, revealing the true power of Soteri to the world, and making the upper echelons keenly aware that the current Soteri was not to be trifled with.

Summer flowers were in full bloom, petals falling in profusion. A warm breeze brushed past, casting a faint blush upon her otherwise snow-white skin. Even without makeup or powder, she remained as beautiful as a figure in a painting.

“Do you know who told you six hundred years ago that the flesh and blood of the Pixiu could grant immortality and attract wealth and fortune?” Feng Xi asked again.

Though Chen Afu kept her gaze lowered, she distinctly felt the Ninth Lord deliberately glance at her several times.

The flower hall, adjacent to the back garden, was a row of side chambers dedicated to receiving guests or offering a resting spot for flower viewing.

With determination set, the two policemen resumed their impartial demeanor, treating everything as routine procedure. They inquired about the circumstances at the time and then about the injury to the bird-like man. Upon hearing that he had lifted his foot to kick someone, breaking through the iron wire fence and causing the cuts that bled, the officers found nothing more to question.

He naturally would not overlook the issues along the route; otherwise, no one would have agreed.

Xiao Tianhe was at the central army camp, awaiting Xiao Wuxie, and among all, he was the most excited. Xiao Wuxie was his grandson, once thought to be worthless, but now had grown into an empire hero admired by thousands. His achievements even surpassed his own, filling Xiao Tianhe with pride.

Lin Tianxuan stepped before him, bowing slightly as he looked down at the pitiful figure who was sobbing and denigrating himself. It was almost laughable.

While refining the primordial spirit into the Ninth Soul-Transforming Pill did not directly destroy it, it erased all consciousness and will within the spirit, leaving it with no thoughts beyond obeying the caster’s commands.

It is said that assassins specialize in killing, but Xiao Wuxie specialized in killing assassins. Fearsome killers who struck terror into others never imagined that such a fate would befall them—justice delivered by those they once preyed upon.

Betraying the Hundred Ghosts Den and failing three assassination attempts were one matter; conspiring with outsiders was another entirely. Due to Wu Po’s treachery, it was only natural for the Hundred Ghosts Den to come after Wu Gui.

Then, two steel spikes cut through the air, aiming straight for Nan Jin’s eyes, followed by a pair of arms flying through the air, crashing into Nan Jin.

“Brother, who exactly is he? I think we should hand him over...” Fu Yuexia finally felt fear. The might displayed by the Soul-Breaking Mace shattered all her pride.

For this reason, he had agonized for a long time, and lacking a better plan, he had no choice but to venture alone into the Heavenly Demon Mountain Range, seeking any clue about the essence of the Heavenly Demon.

“Senior brother, hello. I am a newly admitted disciple. May I ask where Senior Brother Lu is?” Lin Tianxuan spoke calmly to the man in blue robes.

She was deeply shaken by the gentle smile in his eyes. She couldn’t quite explain the feeling, only that the smile gripped her heart with an unyielding hold.
