Chapter 692: Heaven's Sins Can Still Be Remedied

Boom—!

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder crashed; the torrential rain came down in a deafening rush as if it were free, forming a curtain of water in the air.

The entirety of Bianzhou was shrouded in the rain.

On the gate pillars of the Bianzhou prefectural office's main hall hung a temporary vertical plaque that read: Bianzhou Flood Control Command.

Fang Chongyong sat at his desk handling official business, and the surrounding tables were also full of people.

Those drafting decrees were drafting, those drawing maps were drawing, and messengers kept coming in and out.

"That's wonderful, we can travel together. If no wood elves come to kidnap us again, we should reach that city by noon." Bakti smiled and rubbed his bald head, then strode forward.

All three were no longer young; their weathered faces and the fine lines at the corners of their eyes, lips, and across their foreheads all bore the marks of time.

He watched Dick in the arena. Though he had lost count of how many times he had watched Dick drill, every time he witnessed it in person, he still could not help but feel astonished. Dick's attainment in staff techniques had now even surpassed his own.

"Thank goodness Sister Bao'er is here. She doesn't sense enemies purely by sight—more often she smells the scent on them—which is how she was able to lock onto Yi Lu's position. Otherwise, it really would have been quite troublesome..." Zhang Chulan thought silently, while also feeling somewhat puzzled.

Seeing him approach, they grew even more guarded, and the wrinkles on Divine Monk Kongji's face squeezed together into a mass.

Thinking this, Jason was surprised to find that he was not wearing the Arkham battle armor he took pride in, but rather Batman's classic suit. Reaching up to feel, he was even wearing Batman's helmet.

Looking again at the quiver beside him, the head of each arrow was not iron but hard stone. It was probably the same kind of stone that had struck him when he first transmigrated here.

And in this instant Wu Ming understood many things: the Great Dao has constancy; the Great Dao has no constancy. The Dao takes emptiness as its root and existence as its function. From the very beginning, he had actually grasped existence, but the Patriarch of Limitlessness had grasped emptiness from the start. One yin and one yang is called the Dao, and yin and yang are emptiness and existence.

Some of them were fair-skinned high elves, others were pitch-black dwarves. They first looked at Nagel with some fear, but then all gathered around curiously.

At close range, the crisp sound of snapping could be clearly heard, and then a bloodcurdling scream followed.

The employee who had just arrived watched this scene before him awkwardly, knowing he had come too late—his boss had offended a wealthy magnate.

Looking at the wine cup held out before her, Gu Muzhi felt troubled. She knew her body had not yet fully recovered, and Lu Yuan always admonished her never to drink.

Qin Boyang reached out to gently stroke Gu Muzhi's brow and eyes, while his own face was pale and stubble covered his jaw. The clothes he wore were still the same ones from the day they had encountered the assassin.

The crowd watched such an innocent person being slowly tortured to death by Madam Su, yet none dared to rescue her. A sense of powerlessness crept into their hearts.

Though Xue Jian had warned Ruan Dongsheng, these were things Ruan Dongsheng had already considered. The scaling-up he spoke of was not simply increasing volume—that was not scaling. Behind scaling lay low cost; only by achieving low cost could it truly be called scaling.

Dean Chu was momentarily taken aback. He had not expected Lin He to personally set up a medical clinic for Jiang Hao. He blamed himself for returning too late, for not getting ahead of that old fox Lin He.

In an instant, a deep mark was etched across the forehead. Sweat from both cheeks rolled down from the brow to the temples, then rolled on to the ground, soaking the soil and moistening the earth.

Imperial Guard Commander Tu Long immediately ordered twenty soldiers to unload the tools from the carts and begin digging outward in a ten-meter radius centered on the point indicated by Lan Qi'er.

Su Yue'er had not initially felt anything amiss, but the maid's words awakened her to it.
