Chapter 46: The Candidate

Shi Ran did not like to complicate matters. She also knew Mei Lan's temperament well. The moment she showed any sign of making a huge fuss, Mei Lan would take the initiative to sever ties with her. Mei Lan's attitude upon learning about this earlier had made everything clear. She feared the Zuo Consortium to her very core and dared not plot against Zuo Yelin. As for Zuo Jiaqi, however, she didn't... In order to see and be with each other day and night, she even pursued him all the way to the Ancestral God Sect and became a Beast God inheritor. The festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year had already reached its peak the day before New Year's Eve, and an inverted character for "blessing" was pasted inside this office as well. The morning glow was burning like a blazing inferno, setting the clouds across the sky on fire, and likewise igniting the hot blood within Lin Hao's body, causing it to surge violently. "It doesn't matter. Since everyone has arrived, I shall set out for the Demon Ruins!" waved the Night Monarch. This time, he had only left the Fengwu Sect for some twenty days, and nothing untoward had happened; all was well, and the recruitment of disciples was proceeding in full swing. "There is indeed no trace of any lightning-type power remaining on him," said Yu Mu, whose face was pale and gloomy. Having just recovered from his injuries, he had spared no cost to become Lin Xin'er's sparring partner, with the sole purpose of enabling her to defeat Pojun. This outcome was simply unacceptable to him. "It was this exact move—that very day, this exact move blocked me outside the gates of Senluo City," Bastiena's eyes flashed brilliantly. He looked around and discovered several other towering pillars like this one in the vicinity, with the closest one to him only about five or six meters away. "Shuying, if any other King-class powerhouses wish to join my command, carefully investigate their backgrounds and make the decision yourself." Cheng Buyun waved his hand, bestowing vast authority upon Shuying Wang as if placing absolute trust in her. "Thump, thump! Thump, thump!" The Meridian Wheel Heavenly Palace throbbed violently, and a formidable power of heaven and earth divine patterns began to brew and grow within it. Almost instantly, all the dark fierce beasts ceased fighting and retreated in succession to the Death Plain behind them, fixing their bloodthirsty gazes upon the humans before them. The Brier Forest lay to the south of the Zhou family estate; wild beasts roamed freely within it, though magical beasts were scarce. Ordinarily, some people would go there to hunt for pelts and meat. "I can't go on. I can't keep up," Jiarong was the first to stop. I gasped for breath, looking back a few times. The mysteries of the human body are as boundless as the universe. Even with the most powerful analytical capability on this planet, Lin Feng was still far from fully unraveling the secrets of the human body, which were as unfathomable as the cosmos itself. Of course, part of the reason was that he truly lacked the time, but the primary factor was that he had initially only acquired the basics of talisman crafting. As for more advanced talismans, he actually had no clue how to proceed, which was why he had given up. Previously, Yan Wubian had used fire-attribute fist techniques against Ma Youcai, but what he had just unleashed was water-attribute spiritual energy. These people weren't blind; how could they possibly fail to see through his identity? Holding his binoculars, Jiro Domon gazed at the positions being relentlessly pounded by artillery fire, a confident smile plastered across his face. The moment Li Jue entered the fray, his aura towered far above that of Zhang Yan and the others. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he was a ruthless character. Seeing that Yin Xi had returned, Gao Yun instantly put back on the fierce expression he had just worn, casting her a sidelong glance without moving an inch. Gao Yun gently closed his eyes; he dared not keep them open, fearing that tears would fall the moment he did. Therefore, Gao Yun merely nodded slightly, taking it as his promise to her. Mi Ke'di, however, remained unfazed. This tiny bit of pain was far from comparable to the agony of losing Mikeen, and she was instead troubled over how to reach the Tree of Life. Although Ziyi asked such a question, she immediately felt herself to be utterly foolish. After all, the ancestors knew that the young master had been abducted, so naturally they would give chase. Besides, only the ancestors possessed the strength to effortlessly strike down the two kings of the Fierce Beast Mountain Range.
