Chapter 858: Trading an Egg for a Hen

"Ah, Li Ye, you're here too?"

Li Ye had intended to slip away quietly, but unfortunately, the flashlight beam he’d used when arriving was too glaring, so Lu Zhizhang had spotted him.

"Oh, I had dinner at home and had nothing to do, so I thought I’d come take a look. Strange—Lu, are you a night owl? How’d you recognize me from so far away?"

Li Ye walked over with a smile, though he found it odd that even at night, the flashlight beam could be seen from afar.

The dark tunnel twisted and turned; the group used instantaneous movement and spent half a month before reaching an unusually spacious stone chamber.

It could be called a forbidden zone of the Nine Immortals Continent—even the Eternal Universe’s supreme Qiangzhe dared not venture here lightly.

Sheng Qiao smiled smugly; according to the records, despite losing four disciples, the First Branch still had five who completed the alchemy, so their evaluation points would surely rank first.

As they walked, a sudden gust of cold wind struck their faces, causing all the disciples to shiver involuntarily.

Upon hearing Di Hun Zunzhe’s words, all the disciples present were stunned—fragments of the Primordial World! No wonder the Master and Uncle had been so solemn.

"What’s going on? What happened?" In the Abyss Prison, everyone felt the violent shaking; the Dragon Lizard was the first to sense something was wrong, yet even after using Domain power, he found nothing amiss—yet the entire Abyss Prison rumbled and trembled.

But the two major figures hadn’t noticed that before dying, Zhan Luo had sealed her avatar within the divine weapon, making it the key to unlocking the divine relic.

"Release me, and I might overlook your grave disrespect!" After slamming against the barrier for over ten breaths, Feng Hua Lyu finally couldn’t endure the torment and began to yield.

Thinking of this, Yan Kong re-examined Li Hongfei, but Li Hongfei paid no mind to Yan Kong’s scrutiny, merely gazing at the City of Flame with appreciation.

"Illusion and reality, truth and falsehood—all in a single thought! This power that erases all existence—no matter how many times I see it, it still sends chills down my spine!" Qin Tian muttered to himself, his face betraying the same stunned expression as everyone else.

Du Wanyu was held in his arms; it took her a while to react, then she blushed, glared at Zhao Yan, and tried to get down.

Liu Cheng didn’t want to keep Yan Tao locked up, but the Yan family had been searching for him these past two days; for safety’s sake, caution was best.

The curse of a vengeful ghost is extremely potent, and if not broken, it can be inherited generation after generation.

The three elements—Thunder, Wind, and Water—had long been preliminarily fused through Nan Gong Liuyun’s persistent efforts, and he had even grasped new mysteries; yet the fusion of these three with the Dark Element had always plagued him.

She said the word “again,” indicating that during the time Du Wanyu had vanished, she had dreamed of her more than once.

Tomorrow’s bride-to-be will become Sheng Minghui; if so, Sheng Minglan probably won’t show up tomorrow, right?

Normally, land purchases in the village required government approval, but perhaps due to the village’s unusual hardships, all land here was managed by the village head, who decided all sales and purchases, then simply registered them at the town office to finalize the transaction.

Qiao Sang was stirred by Bai Mochen’s gentle advances, and a sudden urge rose within her—to roll in bed with Bai Mochen.

Si Jingyu gritted his teeth, his face dark with anger; he’d also been dumped—why wasn’t she so kind as to comfort him?

"It’s downstairs—come with me," Qu Shuyan led me downstairs, knocked on the door, and a weary middle-aged man opened it; upon seeing Qu Shuyan, he welcomed us in.

We gained nothing here—besides broadening our horizons and learning many things we didn’t know before, we held nothing tangible in our hands.
