Chapter 60 Fear of Relapse

Song Yanzi raised her eyes and scanned her surroundings, but detected nothing unusual.

The basement was exceptionally quiet, devoid of human figures and any sound whatsoever.

Over the past week, she had a faint sensation that a pair of eyes was secretly observing her from the shadows.

These past two days, that feeling of being stalked had grown particularly intense.

Confirming it was safe, she withdrew her gaze and resumed walking.

......

Afterward, Gao Cheng lowered his eyes, wearing a pensive expression, with no intention of speaking further. In the ensuing silence, physical exhaustion instantly washed over him. Come to think of it, he hadn't slept properly in two days. As his head leaned against the edge of the sofa, a daze crept over him, and his eyes finally drifted closed.

She did not know the names of the nearby streets and roads, so she could only keep directing the driver's way.

"A-Dong, now it's our turn to get goosebumps all over. Haha!" Long Sheng laughed loudly.

"Is that so? Since that's the case, come and give it a try. What you speak of is quite formidable!" Zephyr Tina said, casting a contemptuous look at them.

"You're back," Wuyin said indifferently, and only then did I notice Wuyin looking at me thoughtfully.

"Someone hasn't arrived yet. Did they get caught up in something?" Glancing around and realizing not everyone was present, Qian Cheng asked casually.

Lifting my head and locking onto those eyes, I said word for word, "You are cruel." And I—even more cruel, with an ignorant cruelty. This month of stagnation had all been spent in vain, while that person's whereabouts remained adrift in some unknown expanse.

"Didn't I invite you over to my place for dinner?" Muling whispered softly, her head still resting on my shoulder.

I have no idea what other people pack when they go out, but I can be certain it isn't bizarre things like a madman. Still, it was quite effective. Glancing at his pocket, I wondered what else might be stuffed inside.

Yet by that time, Huo Xuetong was nearing fifty, unmarried his entire life, and entirely devoid of the high-spirited ambition he possessed before turning twenty-one.

Liu Shuang truly had no fear of Liu Xin's old man. Given his current sphere of influence, he genuinely felt no dread, because Liu Shuang and the concept of the state had already elevated to two entirely different planes.

One possibility was that their strength was simply too overwhelming, provoking the jealousy of the heavens, which consequently descended the ultimate Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. Another possibility was that their fortune was overwhelmingly potent, with innate talent and strength defying the natural order to such a degree that the heavens refused to tolerate them, thus unleashing the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation.

Even as Li Hexian's mind surged in turmoil, the fierce dragon and malicious ghost emitted a series of miserable shrieks, completely unable to break out of Li Hexian's body any longer. They could only desperately shrink back inward, their living space relentlessly squeezed by the power of the Golden Bone Sarira and the Holy Blood of Jiuli.

"An officer's ID card?" Liu Shuang was thoroughly baffled by Elder Chen, who had produced two such documents in the span of a moment, and this military ID was even at the second lieutenant rank.

Although his strength had increased once more, he still ultimately remained within the Heavenly Rankings. The disparity between him and someone of Ziyun's caliber, whose strength resided in the Sovereign Heavenly Rankings, was simply far too vast.

After belting out a song at the top of her lungs for a while, Luo Li finally recalled that the song's title seemed to be "Borrow Another Five Hundred Years from the Sky." Those ancient Chinese emperors had tried every conceivable means to achieve eternal life, yet not a single one of them succeeded, and in the end, dust returned to dust, earth to earth.

Wiping out all the beast-converted snakes in one go was entirely unrealistic. Over all these years, there were simply far too many of them in the swamp. The only viable option was to drive them away from the bull clan's territory so they wouldn't dare approach this place again.

The upper-class warrior walking at the very front of the procession raised his hand, signaling the entire group to halt. Once the troop stopped, he turned his head and asked the people surrounding him nearby.

"Help us find a safe place to settle down first. It's not suitable for the few of us to show our faces too much here," Liu Shuang stated his intentions.

"Who did you say was unreasonable?" Upon hearing Fan Dadan's words, Ye Feifei glared at him with an icy expression and retorted.

The map could display monsters within one's field of vision that were no more than ten levels higher than oneself, as well as party members.
