Chapter 55: Discovery of the Wounded!

Peregrine falcons, owls, and other birds of prey spread their wings and flew in unison toward Holly Village.

Above, the vast desert starry sky stretched out, the Milky Way pouring down like a satin ribbon crusted with crushed diamonds.

Beneath the firmament, hundreds of raptors soared like aerial fighter jets, starlight spilling over their full-feathered wings.

Shifting the perspective downward, behind Xu Ying, the ground-dwelling animal legion stood at strict attention, the moonlight casting a shimmering, flowing coat of mercury over their silhouettes.

As the black flames radiating boundless demonic might emerged into the world, every single person present felt their souls tremble with sheer terror.

Who could this voice belong to if not Zuo Nanxiang? I looked toward the entrance and saw Zuo Nanxiang, dressed in a police uniform, leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed, gazing over.

Qingtian could not help feeling a jolt of alarm. Could it be that even that realm warrior, comparable to the late Ancient Barbarian stage, failed to escape?

After He Bai's army pitched their camp, Xianyu Yin arrived right around dusk, delivering half a month's worth of grain, forage, and supplies—most notably, six hundred sets of Han army uniforms and three hundred sets of light cavalry equipment. Seeing that the vast majority of the cavalry under He Bai's command were equipped with Wuhuan scrap metal, Xianyu Yin had gone out of his way to allocate these supplies.

"Director Wu, I was so focused on rushing here that I forgot to bring a few things along," Yang Zhengjie said through the rearview mirror, casting a wry glance at Wu Xiangyu.

He decided to take his time experiencing it. Walking along, he pondered the extraordinary nature of this formation, using it to cross-reference his own knowledge of array techniques. Gradually, he truly began to reap rewards.

How could you possibly fire a gun? That is a direct violation of regulations! Ah, forget it. In this era of relying on influential fathers, who could blame Meng Li for having a good one? That said, just now Hou Dagang was only talking about transferring Meng Li away from her post; he never dared to even mention firing her. This fully demonstrated the extent of Meng Li's backing.

Because she had not yet had the time to receive the plot memories, the original owner was a popular idol star. If her wish happened to be carving out a brilliant career in the entertainment industry, giving up and letting things fall apart would undoubtedly be courting death, skyrocketing the difficulty index of her mission.

After sending off Yunzhongzi and Our Lady of the Golden Spirit, Zhao Gongming ultimately decided to use the Three Immortals Island as his Daoist sanctuary. Of course, this would not be within Jade Cloud City, but rather upon the surface of the island below.

"System! Can a spiritual cultivator in the Crossing Tribulation stage possess this kind of ability?" Unable to fathom it, Su Hong could only turn to the system for help.

"What an unpredictable madwoman. Isn't she afraid of being double-crossed by Hongwan-ji?" Achan complained, in a terrible mood.

In the world of the obscenely wealthy, these two bathtubs could only be considered lightweight contenders, as pure natural crystal tubs and imperial tubs ranked far ahead of them.

It was indeed crucial. Before the Uesugi clan had completely reconciled with Hongwan-ji, Kenshin Uesugi had also stated, "If Noto at our rear cannot be pacified, it will be like a thorn in our back." But now, Hongwan-ji and the Uesugi clan were engaged in sincere cooperation.

Hyuga Hinata breathed a secret sigh of relief, thinking to herself: Just as Naruto said, Father is all bark and bite—does he actually care about me after all? I thought he was terribly disappointed in me and only cared about my younger sister.

Qiuyuan and Uncle Jiu were discussing matters once more inside a room. Most importantly, Qiuyuan wanted to learn the cultivation method of the Lightning-Swift Thunder Fist from Uncle Jiu.

Since this transaction of Zhao Dun's belonged to the category of "fair trade"—or rather, something mutually beneficial to all parties involved—naturally, nobody would be foolish enough to oppose it or stir up any unnecessary trouble.

Uzumaki Naruto wiped away her tears and quickly gave chase. Even as Jiraiya gradually accelerated, she still hung steadily right behind him.

Shiji hoisted Primordial onto her back and walked toward the great shamans. As for her teammate who had invested her heart and soul into overacting, she merely glanced at her once and dared not look any longer, fearing she would lose composure.

The moment he laid eyes on Li Ye, the young man first froze, and then let out a direct stream of curses.

He had received news long ago that the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family had returned two days prior, and Nie Tian was also well aware of those immortals who had descended.
