Chapter 61: Human and Beast

When Qiao Ruyi chased after it, the thing had already vanished without a trace.

The sandstorm was still raging, though perhaps the abandoned rammed-earth city walls provided some shelter, as the dust was not nearly as fierce as the one they had previously experienced.

Seeing the creature disappear, Qiao Ruyi neither rushed nor panicked. A mask covered the greater part of her face, securing her lips and nose, while a gauze scarf wrapped around her head, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Shining her flashlight downward, she spotted something resembling liquid dripping onto the sand, though not densely.

"Listen, Lingling, you couldn't have been mistaken, could you?" Guoguo looked at the person beside her and asked with a skeptical expression.

"Insolence!" Upon seeing Yang Tian's expression, the Primordial Dragon Python let out an enraged roar. To it, this was an utter humiliation and it instantly flew into a rage, determined to tear Yang Tian to pieces regardless of whether he belonged to the Battle Saint Clan or not.

A Santana slowly drove closer. The iron gate opened, and the car entered the Rivers and Mountains estate, coming to a halt at the parking lot atop the hillside. Zheng Nengchi hurriedly stepped out of the vehicle and respectfully opened the rear door.

"Boom!" His fist, radiating a golden glow, collided with the blade light of the sabre. Instantly, the blade aura was shattered into pieces, and his bare fist made direct contact with the edge of the blade.

The Azure Lotus Sword Saint possessed immense combat prowess and was a super expert at the pseudo-King level. Once, relying on a single technique, he had fought two pseudo-King level experts without falling into the slightest disadvantage—a figure that many factions were extremely reluctant to provoke.

"I am a man from Tianjinwei. I dare not claim any great name, but my name is Zhang Zhankui. When you go in to announce my presence in a moment, just say that Zhang Zhankui, a cousin from Tianjinwei acting under Nie Shicheng's command, has arrived!" Zhang Zhankui said.

Yang Tian fought a bloody battle, turning the entire heaven and earth into a battlefield. Blood rained down as scales fell one after another from the air.

Liu Rusu's expression involuntarily darkened. Their purpose in coming this time was to find Di Jiuyuan, but... her original plan had been to keep Long Xiao and the others under her control and search for Di Jiuyuan's whereabouts step by step, so as to hold Di Jiuyuan hostage through her concern for others.

Naturally, it was difficult for them to make a decision on such matters. After all, the Si family head's actions were also out of regard for Ye Qingtang.

It was just a pity that the master of the house had all along been unwilling to wake up; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy for outsiders to enter.

"Jiang Yu, I still need to go home for dinner. My mom is urging me, so I'm leaving first." Having completed the task, she prepared to head out.

She walked over to Yunshu, squatted down, and amidst Yunshu's wary gaze, thrust her hand directly into Yunshu's body.

This remark was not entirely a lie. At least his wish to have a little sister was genuine; everything at home was wonderful and fully provided for, lacking only a younger sister.

Bei Mingyuan was truly terrified of Mu Ling. He genuinely believed that Mu Ling would scheme against him and hand him over to someone else.

Yet, in such a place of agonizing torment, after the initial despair and screaming, she had actually endured it through sheer willpower. What was more, she had even managed to transform the berserk spiritual energy into her own power, ascending to a higher realm.

When the car came to a stop, Su Qingyan stepped out of the driver's seat fully geared up, and walked side by side with Qin Yang into the interior.

Yan Xiang raised her head and only then noticed the bundle slung over the Senior Brother's shoulder. She was overcome with excitement. The moment before, she had been plotting to leave without a word. The very next moment, the Senior Brother was cooperating with her.

Shaohua naturally understood as well and said nothing further, letting the young maid depart quickly from the Orchid Residence.

The moonlight was gentle yet cold, and this forest, ancient to the point of decay, was equally intimidating.

Dade thought for a moment and said to me, "The two of us should have a foolproof double insurance. I'll give Feng Sheng a call right now and have him check out that 'Heart Wandering' bar. If anything seems off after we go there tonight, we'll immediately call Feng Sheng so he can come and back us up."

"Queen Mother, has something truly gone wrong in the mortal realm? I noticed today that quite a few people in the Hall of Miraculous Mist seemed to have realized that an incident occurred," the Jade Emperor asked the Queen Mother upon seeing the immortals depart.
