Chapter 87: The Dark Room

Night fell deeper, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

The van wound its way up the mountain road, ascending to Jade Purity Mountain.

At last, it stopped in a vast parking lot.

They got out.

Not far away stood the grand and solemn “Jade Purity Temple.”

Within the temple were more than twenty halls, enshrining the Three Pure Ones, the Four Sovereigns, the Five Elders of the Five Directions, the Eight Immortals, and many other Taoist deities, their presence awe-inspiring.

On both sides of the main gate, powerful calligraphy was carved into the stone.

Every move made by Xin Pi was observed. She knew well that her allure was still formidable, and she brimmed with confidence. In her heart, she thought, “Han Mengyan, as long as you are a man, you will find no reason to refuse me.”

At the same time, Bai Sen took the opportunity to continue contemplating his martial path and his connection to the blade, quietly preparing for the final challenge. He had been in this world for a year now, and through persistent cultivation, his Armor-Piercing Strike had reached level four.

He was astonished by the power of the Ultimate Appraisal Technique, which could even discern the origins of this sword with crystal clarity.

Fortunately, the Fish Lord, bearing the inherited Dragon Pearl, managed singlehandedly to hold off two cultivators with Tribulation Law cultivation.

At this moment, he was no longer the ruler of the Golden Crow Clan, but merely an old grandfather, a feeble elder seeking vengeance for his grandson.

“In the northwest of Tiger Head Mountain, there’s a bandit group called the Black Mountain Wolves—cruel and merciless, hated by all the people,” Guardian Wang explained to You Jingyan about the other two bandit factions.

The Twin Emperors departed together—one stepping onto the ancient road from the Primeval World, the other from Earth. Inevitably, their paths would cross, and a fateful battle awaited.

A furious roar echoed to the heavens. Yuan Qiu, overwhelmed by rage, spat blood again and fell into a deep coma.

At the gate of the Yuan residence, Cai Gu told the doorkeeper he wished to see Yuan Pang. Recognizing a relative of the master, the doorkeeper dared not delay and immediately went to announce them.

On the surface, a web of cracks appeared, as if it could crumble at any moment.

He had held back when striking before, for fear of killing someone, and had not used his longsword. Now, drawing the cold, gleaming blade, he pressed it against the man’s neck, causing goosebumps to rise instantly.

At that time, to be honest, tears streamed down my face, but I forced myself not to cry out loud. I secretly guessed the meaning of my tears before letting her go.

I walked out the door, happy, and went straight outside. The cat didn’t run but let me hold it; yet the moment I stepped out, I regretted it.

It was actually the arrival of the Victory Team and their words and actions that provoked Orbic, forcing him to choose between leaving and destroying. In the end, Orbit chose destruction, leading to the tragedy that followed.

Yan Nanfly clenched his teeth, but he could not break the silver chopsticks; thus a gap remained between his teeth.

“You’re absolutely right, manager! You are truly brilliant!” the clerk praised, raising both thumbs enthusiastically.

To be honest, he had met a few Westerners in the capital before, such as Johann Adam Schall von Bell, who served as an official during the Ming Dynasty. However, Schall von Bell’s hair was chestnut, so although he had heard of the “red-haired devils,” he had never actually seen a true red-haired Westerner.

While he was unconscious, he occasionally received fragments of information from the outside world, but he was unable to respond.

He only hoped to buy something else, especially a cultivation manual, and so did not question their behavior.

Since the other side refused to play by the rules, Lin Chong decided not to continue either. He was unaware that Anna had already been taken away and was now secretly brought back to their temporary base in Japan by Rand.

“I’ll be right there!” Before Kang Ning could finish, Wang Yu hung up and dashed out like the wind, not even bothering to say a word to Old Guo.

Mu Hui had not expected Fang Guohuan to reject her and leave so decisively; she was momentarily stunned. Outside, Ge Langning, seeing this, darkened his expression and moved to stop Fang Guohuan, but Mu Hui waved him off. As she watched Fang Guohuan’s departing figure, a mysterious smile curled on her lips.
