Chapter 44: Escaping the Laboratory 1

After the meal, maidservants cleared away the bowls and dishes, offered water for washing hands and rinsing the mouth, and then served Old Lord's Eyebrow tea.

Lin Chang'an spoke casually while lowering his head to wipe the blood off his hands with alcohol, smiling with breezy detachment.

"You broke ties with your family for the sake of a freak. I'd say you're regressing in your old age," Chang Shengping cursed at the retreating figure of Chang Li.

"The Mid-Autumn banquet won't end until evening. There's still plenty of time; we can go get acquainted with people first," Si Jingmo said.

Seeing the face so close at hand, Feng Hanze was filled with tenderness. Her words of "there is a long future ahead" made his heart feel completely full.

What did this fellow mean by inviting her out to dinner? Clearly, when she was tearing into Qiao Nuo earlier, she had practically wanted to tear her apart alive, vowing never to have anything more to do with her.

Instead of retreating, Yang Hao advanced, strolling leisurely as if taking a walk in a courtyard, heading straight towards the absolute center of the Shattered Star Domain. The rolling, violent shockwaves capable of easily crushing giant boulders simply washed over him harmlessly.

This whirlpool had attracted a big fellow—a genuine yacht at least a dozen meters long, looking as though it had just been launched into the water not long ago.

Hearing such a reply, Lin Xian did not intend to pursue the topic further. He felt a vague sense of stifled frustration, though he could not quite explain why.

Lin Chang'an took a bottle of brandy from the wine cabinet, checked the date, and then very gently placed it back. Mei Mu'an leaned against the bar counter, watching Lin Chang'an's gaze and movements, and a sudden surge of curiosity sprouted in his heart.

In the shadows of the grand hall, the confidant sent by Yi Zhi years ago to protect Prince Wei's safety withdrew silently. A moment later, he recorded the recent events on a piece of paper and dispatched it via a homing pigeon.

Seeing that he could gain no advantage, the Sky-Devouring Daoist transformed the Primordial Demon Bead and went on a violent killing rampage. By launching a sneak attack, he did manage to eliminate a few experts, but he was immediately trapped by the spells of the arriving crowd, who dealt with him using the old methods.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Ya suddenly opened his eyes wide, fixing his gaze intently on that speck of white light. Without the slightest hesitation, his hands moved: his right hand flicked the Summoning Immortal Banner outward, causing divine multicolored light to stream down from the void, reflecting a thousand auspicious radiances. Meanwhile, on the Qi wall, sorrowful winds blew fiercely, dismal mists drifted and merged, dark clouds gathered from all directions, and the weeping and howling of millions of members of the demon clan resounded in unison.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy seal of this realm had also set up a barrier to cultivation, making it utterly impossible for him to attain the Dao through sheer force alone. Therefore, he changed his mind; seeing that the Queen Mother of the West had actually severed both her good and evil corpses, he felt truly both fearful and delighted.

Very well... it indeed could not be oxidized. The stones were blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to harm the man in the slightest.

Ye Xin remained half-doubtful. "Really?" She tilted her head to listen, yet still heard nothing at all.

Li Song thought to himself: Expository Teachings' Primordial Beginning Celestial Venerable follows the lead of Doctrinal Teachings' Supreme Elderly Lord in all matters. The actions of the heavenly court likely announce that the Supreme Elderly Lord has finally failed to keep his composure.

Following this, Abe Hikaru transformed into a black shadow, dashed past Totori, opened his arms, and rushed toward Chenglan in a bear hug. The fresh flowers held in one hand drifted away with the wind.

The King of Southern Wu's expression indeed changed, and he ingratiatingly negotiated to cede larger territories elsewhere as a substitute. Considering future defense issues as well as the advantageous strategic terrain of the Mountain and River Pass, how could they possibly agree? Their stance remained firm. With his life hanging by another's hand, and having caught the underlying implication in Caesar's earlier remarks, the King of Southern Wu could ultimately only agree.

Once A Jiu and Shang Shui entered the barbarian tribal settlement, the unease in their hearts finally dissipated. Seeing that the barbarians all had bizarre appearances—whether caused by plague was unknown—their limbs were grotesquely swollen, making them look even less human and more like monsters. They raised no further objections regarding feeding them to the dragon beasts, and only busied themselves with cooking and eating the tribe's reserved grain rations.

A call came from home, asking why her fiancé had landed in prison, accompanied by some unpleasant remarks. She was deeply saddened.

"I don't know what kind of place this is, or what kind of person is qualified to enter, but I only know that as long as I'm happy, I can kill you right now." With a single kick, Li Ye directly pinned the young man to the ground, his shoe firmly pressing against the other's mouth to prevent him even from screaming out in agony.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone failed to react in time. Sung Yu-ri, Choi Soo-young, Kim Soo-hyun, Yu Jae-suk, and others standing on the constructed stage saw it as well.

"Perhaps, which is why I'm even more worried. I came here to look for Aiken whale oil, but now it seems we are very likely dragged into some messy business—some business I thoroughly detest." Lance looked at her expectantly. "Now that he is gone, can you give me some other information?"

"No, it will be easier to edit it that way. We just need to segment it properly!" After Chen Shao told Chen Ho his method, the latter thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"If I cast that kind of energy barrier capable of shielding telepathy, how many months do you think I can sustain it?" Hearing Lin Yifeng's question, Susan gave him a sideways glance and replied.

Zhang Qian's face turned ashen, and her legs began to tremble. With an expression of anxious dismay, she gazed at the distant sky, silently praying that the king would arrive to save her.

Arriving in a flash, Wang Wuyue did not dodge. Instead, she closed in, meeting the incoming saber head-on. The two sabers collided, instantly sending sparks flying and blooming with brilliant radiance in the night, resembling dancing fireflies.

"At a time like this, you're still thinking of cursing people!" Ye Yunzhou and Xie Yurong felt a simultaneous surge of helpless exasperation. Yet, facing that continuous, formidable pulling force, they were utterly helpless, and their complexions grew increasingly grim.

Yadong shook regard, looking at Ruoming with a faint smile, sensing that Ruoming was becoming increasingly cheerful and no longer wept constantly like when they had first met. Still, this also proved that she was very happy now. Seeing Ruoming's transformation, Yadong was genuinely happy for her.

He didn't mind Brother Sen's unannounced departure, because he had already bound Brother Sen to his ship using the Ice and Fire Curse Pattern.

Yao Muchen rushed to the alchemy furnace, stretched his neck to peer at the bottom, and saw three dark green precious pills lying inside the black furnace, entwined with a layer of misty vapor and emitting a faint, dazzling light that looked exceedingly mystical.

Chief No. 02's health had not been very good lately; he felt that the lump on his chest, which had just been surgically removed last October, seemed to be growing back.

As their fists met, ripples of force directly rebounded outward. A flash of shock crossed Hong Tian's eyes; he felt a colossal force surging toward him, as if trying to tear his entire body apart, and could not help staggering back several paces.
