Chapter 53: The Trap

Lin Xilan gave an awkward smile. "I was just saying that casually back then so I wouldn't lose out. Please don't take it to heart."

Zhou Yuheng had no intention of letting her off the hook just like that. Riding on a bit of alcoholic haze, he said, "If I don't turn this into reality, wouldn't I be the one who loses out?"

Turn it into reality?

Lin Xilan's brain short-circuited. She...

Six Nascent Soul stage experts stood drenched in blood, panting heavily as they watched the fleeing enemies.

Zhan Tianwei and the others were also growing rapidly in cultivation, both now at the mid-stage of the Pill Formation realm.

"What terrifying offensive power!" Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, sensing just how formidable this forbidden zone was.

Wang Yibing let out a sharp roar, turned his head to the side, and raised his palm in a "stop" pose. He simply could not imagine whether he would have nightmares or throw up his meal if those two sagging masses were to burst out.

After a few rounds of conversation, the two grew much closer. Wang Qiuyue was no longer so reserved, and the atmosphere instantly became much more harmonious.

Realizing that something was terribly wrong, the onlookers panicked and prepared to flee, only to suddenly discover that their legs could not move. Space had completely distorted, and the paths they wanted to step into had already shattered.

White Rock Spirit Milk was found within White Rock veins, with only a few drops produced per vein, offering miraculous effects for cultivation. As for the Sovereign Beast Marrow, it went without saying—extracted by three or more Sovereign-tier experts using bone-marrow-refinement martial techniques, its taste might be slightly inferior, but the effects it produced were remarkably prominent.

This heavenly tribulation was actually this powerful. Back when he, Cheng Zizai, had undergone his own tribulation, even his strongest bolt of divine thunder was not as formidable as this one.

Looking at Duan Chen, who had suddenly stepped out to block his path, a trace of confusion lingered on Ye Yang's face.

Passing through the arched gate felt like stepping through a curtain of water, yet no moisture remained on their clothing. Ding Kui saw that behind the archway lay a white valley. The valley and the surrounding cliffs were covered in thick snow, and a single step onto the ground buried his feet up to the ankles.

As the special guests of this concert, Faye Wong, Xu Xin, and the others would naturally become known to people all over the world.

Shang Jingxing stepped out from behind her, giving the deep-in-thought girl a sudden shock. She instantly drew her emerald blade, and if she hadn't realized in time that the newcomer was Shang Jingxing, she probably would have thrust it straight forward.

The pleas of innocent passengers rang clearly in his ears, but Xiao Cheng's expression remained unchanged. Hearing the news about the border defense forces, he did not pay it much mind. Under these circumstances, even if they were the military, there was simply nothing they could do! They wouldn't dare take the risk of forcibly boarding the starship interior to participate in such a dangerous game.

As the topic shifted to gossip from years past that sounded quite plausible, everyone grew brimming with interest.

Young Master Hong cast a faint, appreciative glance toward Xue Gang, making Xue Gang's heart blossom with joy and causing him to glare at the youth with an even more imposing and stern gaze.

Although he personally had no intention of exercising this privilege, the Master of the First Eastern Floor had explicitly told him yesterday to arrive early, seemingly because there was something to discuss with him. Thus, he respectfully complied, leading his group to "cut the line" all the way to the front.

This also made the fans on Douyu let out cries of profound regret, with some even wanting to come to Jiangnan University just to catch a glimpse of the department belle Wen Wanqing's appearance.

This thought was lodged in his heart like a sharp thorn. His father was trapped in dire straits, resulting in father and son being unable to reunite; yet at least he could visit the prison every month, at least knowing where his father was, even if he was labeled a murderer by others! As for his mother... she had just left so quietly, without leaving even a single note.

"It's alright, Mom, just rest easy. Everything will be fine." Lu Yaobing hugged her mother's shoulders, a smug look plastered across her face.

This time, no one laughed. The room erupted once more into thunderous applause, though the ones clapping now were mostly the students who had previously worn faces of utter despair.
