Chapter 36: A Corpse Grown from the Water

More importantly, the posture of the corpse was extremely bizarre. This was evident from the fact that the deceased was covered in silt from the neck down. They had been standing in the water. In other words, Xing Lin and Shen Que had not merely retrieved a corpse; they had forcibly pulled it out from the riverbed. When Qiao Ruyi realized this, she immediately tested the depth of the water. It was shallow—so shallow that the beam of a flashlight could reveal the bottom. The riverbed was covered in silt, but it was not...

"Why are you so sure she will go to prison? Isn't it said that lawyers from the capital are very capable?" Tang Li turned back, smiling as she retorted.

After Lin Qiaonuo exited the Lin residence through the back door, she saw the sports car parked to the side. Nangong Ze was already seated in the passenger seat, so she walked straight to the driver's side.

"I understand. He cannot see your decision, which is why he is so anxious," Xia Chenxi analyzed calmly.

Seeing this scene, the gazes of Lin Qi and the others trembled. The sudden flash of white light had actually swallowed the full force of a strike from a Mortal Immortal cultivator. Putting everything else aside, the power of this white light alone was heaven-defying.

Consequently, she began pacing aimlessly around the living room, busying herself with other tasks to distract her thoughts.

As he spoke, Xuan Zun cleared a path, and Su Jianxin, seeing this, walked toward Lin Qi alongside Fusheng.

To defend the city gates, the Corpse Sect had exhausted everything, deploying all manner of formidable formations and magical artifacts onto the battlefield.

First, notify those in the embassy, but the embassy is currently under heavy guard, making it extremely difficult.

Dongdong and Sheng Luoshen were the same; they were always at odds with each other, trading barbs back and forth in a scene very much like before.

She owned hundreds of units in this development; if she just sacrificed fifty of them to weather this crisis, why wouldn't she do it?

Wang Dahan looked at Shangguan Shishi with the respect one might show a sister-in-law. Qin Shou glanced at the state of those around him and shook his head.

When Jiang Lichen walked into the courtyard, he saw me sitting at the doorway, hugging myself, looking as if I had been chilled. It was already November, and the nights were quite cold; I had sat down like that and forgotten to put on a coat.

In that battle, how she had seized every advantage, how she had masterfully orchestrated the situation—even when facing the entire world as her enemy, she possessed the arrogant strength to back it up.

Qian Taoxian placed too much importance on this outcome. She had bet ten billion Yuan Crystals on Xiao Ling’s death; if he didn't die, her return home would involve far more than just a scolding from her father.

But being with Yan Jiansen felt like rediscovering the pure love of one's student days, recapturing the sweetness of a first love.

As he spoke, he raised his hand and struck Xue Rou with another palm. The latter let out a cry and spat out a mouthful of blood, her presence growing even weaker.

Well, in his career, this was the first time he had encountered such a lapse in judgment, though he was glad he had erred—it allowed a pair of lovers to finally be together.

Shi Feng let out a low growl, his eyes swirling with gloom. Given Qing Qi’s temperament, she would never have stood by and watched him face danger, yet he had never expected the masked man, a Three-Star Martial Venerable, to intervene.

His body shook as Luo Ding flashed a bitter smile, knowing that Luo Hou must have realized something; at this moment, he would not concern himself with anything else.

Coincidence? A smile flickered in the depths of Luo Anning’s eyes. If she guessed correctly, Xiao Yin was here specifically for her; where could there be any coincidence?

Time was like shifting sand; one hundred years is neither long nor short, and it passed just like that. I do not know how Cang Dou, Li Feng, and Hong Lian are faring in the other strongholds, but I remain stuck between Longquan Stronghold and Sifang Town.

She had begged Xi Yun with such pitiful, heart-wrenching pleas; if he did not agree to her now, it would truly be heaven-defying.

Among them, fifteen were direct disciples and five were elders. Ling Luo, Jing Rong, and Elder Song He were all included.

Dutian Shenjun and Jiemie Shenjun felt nothing strange upon hearing the words of Tianxuan Shenjun, as if they had long anticipated this result. Observing their expressions, Tianxuan Shenjun knew they were not fools; as things had developed to this point, they must have already understood a great deal.
