Chapter 79: The Situation at the Foot of the Mountain

“So, does that mean we have to be neighbors with those people?” Hua Xiao glanced at them, somewhat reluctant.

“This time, besides these matters, there’s something even more important,” Yu Hei breathed a sigh, suppressing the bitterness in his heart for now. He had to sit upright, looking at Erni and Chuanxue.

Good things have come one after another lately; trouble is probably close behind. It’s common for fortune to turn to misfortune. Sympathy, pity, and compassion are unnecessary for those called the ‘Keys’ in their world. In fact, having such feelings toward them is seen as looking down on them, as if you doubt their ability to fulfill their entrusted tasks.

“Heh, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Even if someone had uncovered the secrets in his heart, the descendants of Chiyou had endured far more than Wang Zhao and the others could ever imagine.

With a single sword, he split it into ten, striking simultaneously and instantly defeating ten people—each one a renowned leader or elder of their respective sects, all famous in the martial world, not mere weaklings with undeserved reputations.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, her brother-in-law’s family visited. She couldn’t help but ask him about Hu Youmin. Liu Hongyang sighed and told her everything, even mentioning that Hu Youmin’s phone number hadn’t changed.

This person, arrogant as if he owned the world, sprawled carelessly on the stool, pouring himself a glass of water without a second thought.

No worries, don’t be afraid. With your brother-in-law here, whatever you want to do, whatever you’re willing to pursue, just tell me—I’ll help you solve it.

“Do you have anything to say?” Kihara’s ears were sharp; he heard the steady breathing of the two behind him and knew they were probably asleep. Only then did he speak to Edogawa, who remained restless.

If Chen Yi had ultimately chosen to obey the Chen family, or if he’d decided to use the ‘Tessera’ intelligence as a pledge to seek support from ‘Genesis’ and bite back at the Chen family, then none of today’s events would have unfolded as they did.

“No, I will never cooperate with humans. Don’t forget what they did over a thousand years ago. Humans cannot be trusted.” Bajie was clearly agitated.

Though Helian Yanguang was not one of the Heaven Gate, his contributions and sacrifices for the sect were evident to all. Moreover, given his relationship with Qin Yan, Duan Nan couldn’t afford to treat him lightly.

Among the outer disciples, he was known as the Viper; such poison creatures excel at ambush, not at open confrontation. If their strike fails, they lie in wait for a thousand years, awaiting the next lethal opportunity.

As the earth trembled and human soldiers advanced, Commander Kamba was discussing retreat with his generals. Their hasty engagement had been forced; now that their position was secure, there was no reason to continue fighting, especially since his troops were already exhausted.

Amidst this string of unexpected events, Colonel Dempsey, while doing his utmost to cope, was also pondering the hidden intricacies.

“Madam Yan, you overpraise me. Madam Yan, I’ve come to pay my respects to Qingtian. Would you kindly lead me there?” Qin Yan spoke directly.

After the ‘removal’ of part of its consciousness, the formerly gentle Frankenstein seemed to be reverting to its original nature.

Yet Hao Ren noticed that the magical artifacts and supernatural items here were all ordinary, nothing remarkable.
