Volume 1, Chapter 38: I Will Take You to Bianzhou

"Madam, the Second Young Lady is here," another young maid reported as she entered.

Madam Xie paused, then lifted her eyes. "What has she come for?"

The maid replied, "I do not know, Madam."

"Show her in."

Lei Yu’s clothes were now tattered and soaked in copious amounts of blood. His body was covered in scars, and his own blood mingled with that of the monsters, making it impossible to tell them apart.

"Eat until you're full, sleep until you're content—even the immortals couldn't stop me." Chen Chichi stretched lazily and collapsed onto the thick layer of fallen leaves in the shelter.

In an instant, a dense swarm of zombies had submerged Han Fei. At the center of the horde, Han Fei stood gripping his Heavenly Imperial Dragon Spring blade. He had lost count of how many zombies had fallen to his steel; around him, the ground was piled high with corpses, which were then trampled into a bloody pulp by the waves of creatures pressing in from behind.

Hundreds of years ago, the peerless Demon King Sun Wukong shook the heavens and the earth the moment he was born. Inheriting a formidable celestial art, he roamed the world without restraint, defeating countless demon kings in just a few centuries. Yet, rumors persisted that he had been suppressed beneath the Five Elements Mountain, though no one knew if it were true.

After the golden orb sent the four of them flying, it whistled through the air above them and vanished into the Vortex of Origin in the blink of an eye. When the four managed to scramble up in horror and wipe the blood from their lips, they could only wonder: what on earth was that?

"Wait a moment, you cannot enter that place." Zhao Zilong immediately blocked the path, refusing to yield an inch even under the crushing pressure radiating from Lin Mo.

"Fantastic! Let me give it a try." Li Chen couldn't wait to grab the shovel and start digging. He truly lived up to his nickname, the "Big Black Bull," proving himself the strongest among all the celebrities.

Hearing the words of Bai Ye, now possessed by Ye Jia, Ichigo Kurosaki suppressed his lingering doubts. Since Bai Ye had promised to explain everything later, he knew he would not break his word.

This was certainly not a polluted factory venting exhaust, but an artificially constructed elemental energy generator. Although it was visible to the naked eye, it was at least a hundred kilometers away, which gave some sense of its massive scale.

"Tsk." The person who had nearly struck Tetsuya Kuroko did not attack him again, instead turning to slaughter others.

It had been a fake land acquisition, but the moment the director admitted it, it became real! Once the villagers heard it was official, their grievances immediately shifted toward the embezzlement of their relocation funds.

This caught everyone by surprise. On the surface, the Red Army had the slight upper hand, but the Blue Army was robust, and their command post was so well-concealed that they were far from surrendering.

Meng Tian had sent these eight thousand men to scout the Northern Garrison. They certainly couldn't leave the moment they arrived; they had to linger and observe the area. If they could seize the chance to burn the old granary, that would be an added bonus.

Ding Changlin, who had spent the night plagued by dreams, woke to find the sun already high in the sky. He hurried to clean himself up before heading straight to the government building.

"Don't tell me you're fine; look at you, you're breaking out in a cold sweat," Old Madam Ye said, clutching her hand and watching her with concern.

Liang Hongxia looked on from the side, her heart sinking. It was clear that Xie Mingze’s true intentions lay elsewhere.

Luo Sheng had a deep impression of this place. When she first started university, she frequently came here to find part-time work. Those grueling, busy days remained vivid in her memory, as if they had happened only yesterday.

Zhao Baoning ordered his subordinates to immediately place Zhongnanhai under martial law, increasing the number of sentries and patrols to provide cover for Li Hao’s escape.

Seeing all the firearms aimed directly at him, Shan Ze immediately slowed his charge.
