Chapter 133: City of Strength

Li Muye, Old Cui, and ten elite members of the Wolverine Mercenaries entered the invisible gate with Peter, carrying all their weapons and equipment.

How could anyone dare forget that he possessed the Poison-Calamity Physique? Now that Nameless had proclaimed it so openly, everyone was involuntarily reminded of the terror of that constitution. Their expressions turned ugly, and their hearts filled with fear and apprehension.

With Jing supporting him, Yi tried taking a few steps. When he felt that his body could move, he waved Jing away, seized the massive wrought-iron staff, and gazed at the boundless sea. Deep in his heart, he uttered his own cry: East Sea, I have arrived.

Yi glanced at her before turning his eyes back to the ocean. “The greatest problem right now is the daytime. We can search the sea, but what are we going to do about the sunlight during the day?” As he spoke, he lowered his head and watched the seawater repeatedly strike the beach, his mind turning the matter over and over.

Huo Ziyin had indeed intended to discuss the matter properly, but when he saw Mozhu’s expression, he realized it would be better to let it pass. His sudden change in temperament earlier had frightened Mozhu badly enough. If it happened again, the two of them would inevitably develop a rift.

Everyone was startled. At Wu Cheng’en’s signal, three Venerable Ones guarded the entrance, while the other three drew their weapons and protected Wu Cheng’en and his companion.

The waves pounded ceaselessly against the five outsiders. In the night sky, the glittering stars slowly shifted across their courses, while the curved moon resembled a smiling mouth, watching the traveler below.

Faced with Tian Sha’s barrage of questions, the True Martial Great Emperor could not help smiling. He was not merely unable to answer fluently—he could not answer even one question. Yet the smile on his face grew still more composed.

“Qian Cun, no matter whom you meet, do not look too closely into his eyes,” Xue Ye warned me with concern.

The Soul-Slaying Blade had infused its own soul into the shallow blade, thereby reflecting the power of its heart.

“The Grand Mage has arrived. I truly never expected that, despite us being only three blocks apart, you would actually use a fourth-circle spell like Point-to-Point Transmission to come here. If you need anything, just say the word—I’ll come whenever you call.” He interrupted the newcomer’s awkwardness with a half-joking tease.

“Rise!” Once the formation was complete, Yi Tian raised his hand and summoned it. A Black Ghost Heavenly Nether Pillar several thousand meters high was taken into Yi Tian’s True-Spirit Ring.

“How is she? Is she all right?” Qin Feng looked Bai Li up and down. Her clothes were torn, but the skin on her body did not appear to have suffered any serious injury. However, Bai Li had transformed herself through magic, and Qin Feng could not be certain that she was truly unharmed.

“Since everyone has more or less finished chatting, and it’s getting late, why don’t you come over to my place for a simple meal?” Shen Yibin felt the time was right and immediately extended the invitation.

After all, the entire perimeter here was surrounded by layers of barriers that cut off every threat. Whether the Arabs to the south or the Geluolu people to the north, all had already been driven hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

“I’m here, I’m here! Welcome High-Fly home!” Shen Yibin immediately replied cheerfully. “Goodness, it has been quite a while since I last saw Brother Flathead.”

“Oh? You ugly freak!” Ouyang Ruxue exclaimed in surprise, shouting toward Wang Lingsong.

“Looks good, doesn’t it? The scarf helped me choose the outfit.” Bai Yanni keenly noticed Shen Yibin’s gaze. Instead of feeling shy, she boldly walked up to him and spun around, allowing him to see her more clearly.

As they spoke, one of the male hippopotamuses had already lifted its head completely above the water. It opened its enormous mouth and let out a grunt.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan could not help inhaling sharply. He began to feel a trace of admiration for the man before him. That temperament made Xiao Yan feel unexpectedly close to him.

Since his wife had already sold the house, the only possibility was that she had taken the children to her parents’ home. Where else could they have gone?

If she had not broken through the halo and entered this place, she would have died long ago. It was only because of the abundant trace elements here and the climate, which automatically adjusted itself according to human body temperature, that she had managed to cling to life.

No one had witnessed her mother’s death with their own eyes. It was merely a conjecture on Jun Ziye’s part. She could not abandon all hope because of a single conjecture.

She had been tense the entire time, so she had not felt it earlier. Only now did wave after wave of fear begin to overwhelm her.

“Of course. Aren’t we discussing what to do in the event that all other options are exhausted?” Shi Yao shrugged.

But to truly end everything between her and Yin Shixiu… even she felt it would not be worth it. Even she felt it was… absurd.

Just like a long-ago doubt, her head silently rested against his chest as she listened intently. Then there was only utter silence.

There were only four iron chains, so clearly the five of them could not each take one. Li Dong therefore followed beneath Captain Song.

Seeing such a scene, Li Dong and the others promptly put away their contempt. They felt that, aside from knowing how to curry favor with people, this man was not entirely useless.

Guo Wei spent a long time ordering the various divisions back to their respective units and commanding them to regroup where they stood before launching the final assault. The banner bearing the character Guo still flaunted its might, while the banner bearing the character Li hung forlornly, reduced to little more than a rag.

At that time, not long after Guo Zhuocheng left the deep palace compound by car, he got out and walked along the dimly lit street. Using the streetlamps to examine the scene around him, he made his way toward his maternal grandfather’s home.

That idea could not have been more ordinary. Anyone who served as an official wanted to accomplish a few things that would benefit his political career. Without ambition or a sense of achievement, what motivation would a leader have to improve the local economy?

Rather than pursue an uncertain and ethereal future, it was better to strengthen oneself in the present. This was more or less the mindset of martial artists who cultivated both vital essence and spirit.

As for what other liquor Li Wei went on to drink, he no longer knew. He only knew that the underworld would eventually come after him with the bill.

“Has he fallen ill?” Compassion appeared in Wang Jianxin’s eyes. Qi Wuhen had just begun to explain, but she feared that if he opened his mouth again, he would start spouting more inexplicable nonsense and waste time. She simply attacked, sending a sweep of sword energy hurtling forth.

When Li Zicheng saw the words on the tea table, he instead threw back his head and laughed heartily. “Fame! Yuan Shikai actually coveted my name? Was it for my sake, or for his own?”

In his previous life, China had done precisely this. It was called rotating warfare along two mountain lines. The rotation meant that units took turns: one army would go up and fight for a while, accumulating battlefield experience before withdrawing and allowing another unit to take its place. Once the new unit had had its fill of battle, a still later unit would be sent in.
