Chapter 36: I’ll Make You Convinced, Body and Soul

Those words instantly enraged Tao Tao and the others.

They were all prominent figures in Pengcheng. How could they allow some nameless nobody to ridicule them so openly?

“Young man, I am a master physician of the nation. If you dare to be insolent again, I certainly will not let you off. Killing you would be easier for me than crushing an ant.”

“Heh. These days, every Tom, Dick, and stray dog dares to call himself a master physician of the nation...”

After the battle, Greivas’s clothes were already in tatters. The entire sleeve over her severed right arm had been torn away, leaving a section of frost-white flesh completely exposed.

“Why do I feel that all of this has been within your grasp, Xi Ming? Whatever the outcome, it seems you already knew you would have to face this day.” Gu Meng questioned Song Xi Ming word by word.

If his DNA matched Song Yu Chen’s, then the people at Sacred Heart Hospital would certainly notify Song Xi Ming first. Only after receiving instructions from the Song family would they take further action—and he would be the last person to find out.

Zhao Fu Xin, too, felt an innate sense of familiarity with the wood spirit. He thought to himself: If our hearts truly resonate, then come into my hand.

He held out his palm. The wood spirit circled once beside his hand before floating down into it. A gentle warmth spread across Zhao Fu Xin’s palm.

“What’s going on? Have the people of the Dragon Gate rebelled?” Qian San Tiao demanded angrily. He wanted not only to destroy the Dragon Gate, but also to seize control of the underworld in Changhai City.

He intended to ask Xiao Jing Yu for more men and mobilize part of the Dragon Cavalry that had accompanied them on this protection mission, so that they could expand the search.

“I don’t want to waste words on you. Move!”

At that moment, Wu Lin only wanted to end things quickly and search for evidence. He could not be bothered to respond to Ye Tian Yu’s taunts and sarcasm.

Watching the sun sink little by little, watching the golden light drift and withdraw through the mountain forests, watching the serene landscape unfold like a painting, Zhao Fu Xin felt an extraordinary peace and solitude.

Song Yi Yi was speechless when she heard this. They had settled everything in a single night—was that really necessary? Were they so eager to eat the food she had prepared, or simply that eager to exploit her?

“What makes me happiest is seeing the three of you brothers sitting together in peace and harmony, just as you are today. If, in the future, you can remain of one mind whenever you act, then I will be even happier!”

Yu Luo Xin raised his cup as he spoke to his three sons.

When Zhuge Xuan heard this, he quietly confirmed that Yang Hong had indeed come to persuade him. Zhuge Xuan merely smiled without speaking, signaling Yang Hong to continue.

That instant was etched clearly into Xiang Fei’s eyes. Taking advantage of the brief opening, Wu Hao suddenly retreated, drew his blade, and slashed through the air. Wherever the force of the blade reached, its sheer ferocity cleaved Yang Ming, ten meters away, cleanly in two.

The earth-element stone vanished in a flash, merely having been placed inside Bai Sen’s backpack. Moreover, the experience gained from killing a monster of a higher level allowed Bai Sen to level up once again, reaching level six. As before, every point went into mental strength.

“Hmph. You’re always monopolizing Yu Niang, which has clearly reduced the amount of time I get to spend with her. Fine, I’ll head back first. Yu Niang, you’d better take good care of her, or I won’t be nice to you.”

With that, Min Xuan turned and flew away.

As for the other Supreme Beings, they continued to bombard Ye Chen. Their techniques were earth-shaking; one manifestation after another appeared, then expanded violently until they towered into the cosmic heavens.

That night, Han Wei escorted Zhang Ning out of the city, accompanied and protected by Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Gan Ning. They headed straight for Zhang Lu’s encampment.

Felix was not slow to act either. He immediately raised a blood-red shield around himself and charged toward the Mediterranean.

The mountain that had once stood as the foremost peak of the Daoist sects had finally been trampled beneath his feet. Now, all that remained were the remnants hiding in the rear mountains.
