Chapter 28: Explanation

And so, everyone began to meticulously and methodically prepare the materials in their hands.

The police continued to follow the trail, eventually reaching those who had been in contact with the person in charge of "Midnight," leading to Chen Shang being summoned as well.

The Demon Lord’s expression changed abruptly, turning even paler. He recalled the secret report he had just received from the Heavenly Court, which stated that the Immortal Realm seemed to have gone mad, preparing for war day and night.

This seemingly brave behavior brought Liu Changzhi great pain, yet he simply endured it.

"Nonsense! The Emperor gives me some tribute tea every year; you should keep it and drink it. Besides, who says there's a right or wrong way to understand tea? If you drink it and it tastes good to you, then it is good tea! You must accept it!" Not allowing Lin Mu'er to refuse, Princess He'an made the decision firmly.

This repeated several times, and even Lin Yilan herself grew afraid. The area was so desolate that it seemed the only vehicle to have ever traveled the road in front of the villa was Chen An’s.

The plot is driven by the conflicts between characters, while the theme is revealed through their language, actions, and character development.

After establishing the basic conflicts, the second act is to make these conflict-driven plot points more rich and complex.

Zheng Yi stopped upon hearing Old Hu say this. He turned his head to look at him, only to see Old Hu shaking his head complacently. After a moment of thought, Zheng Yi turned back around.

Xiang Hai turned over Li Heng’s intentional or unintentional reminder in his mind, suspecting that Lin Yilan must have vomited again last night; no wonder her complexion was poor this morning.

More importantly, they sensed a sharpness and edge within those rays of light. These precious swords made them tremble slightly with excitement.

Sun Qingyue bit her lip in resentment. She tried several times to speak but couldn't get the words out. Sun Qingyue still had a mortgage and car payments to handle; she couldn't lose her job like I could. The trouble I caused, I would ultimately have to solve myself.

The hemp rope continued to coil around him, emitting a "hissing" sound from time to time.

Legend has it that this is a type of white snake from Han mythology, though other legends claim it is a dragon that committed a transgression in the heavens.

Two trails of tears flowed from the corners of the man's eyes. He wiped his face, clutched a box, and scrambled up from among the corpses, running toward the foot of the hill.

Li Qiang tried to break free from the shackles of the glow, but he discovered he could not resist this strange light at all. Even though his divine essence could react in various ways, it was of no use.

As she thought, Jing Yunxin’s head gradually grew heavy. She let out a soft sigh and slowly closed her eyes. She needed to rest before facing the uncertainty of tomorrow.

The beautiful girl smiled mysteriously: "Teaching you, you clever fox? I’d rather not tell you, big sister." Saying this, she picked up her basket and walked away.

I had just been about to thank the person who might have dropped the fake beard when I heard the sharp, distinct shriek of the chubby girl, followed by the sound of an electric current passing through.

I had heard from Longjing that a person’s shadow represents their three souls and seven spirits. I frowned—could it be that Madam Ge’s soul had been lured away by that mysterious man?

"If only you had been this way earlier. All of this could have been yours. It’s a pity. You aren't very smart. The fact that I had a way to find you means I know certain things. I wanted to help you, yet you refused," said Chi Zhongtian.

Watching the battle from the sidelines, Tong Leilei couldn't help but marvel that the Shaolin Arhat Formation was indeed as formidable as her brother had described! What she saw before her had already completely exceeded her imagination. Every time the eighteen wooden staves struck the blue stone floor, they sent up jagged stone shards; occasionally, a few would fly toward her, stinging like needles.

When those disciples saw Gao Yue, most would rise and bow, though they said little. Seeing Gao Yue nod, they would return to their idle demeanor and go back to what they were doing.

"Didn't Chi Zhongtian mention that some people were using the Governor-General’s seal of the Nine Provinces to harm others? We might as well report it to him," said Yongmen Zhen.

The man on the throne ceased speaking, observing Lin Yi’s expression with profound meaning, waiting for an answer in the silence.

After greeting him, I sat down across from him. He didn't waste time with small talk and cut straight to the point: "President Zhao, we haven't dealt with each other before, but I have brought you a genuine piece of good news today."

It is actually quite simple: fate is like playing a game of chess against God. If you lose, it is to be expected, for you could never possibly win against God; if by chance you do win, it only proves that God let you win on purpose.

The result required no embellishment: within ten seconds, all five men were technically knocked out. Not one could dodge Song Yingjie’s lightning-fast heavy punches, and not one could get back up after being hit.

With the crisp sound of the two colliding, the faces of everyone holding iron rods twisted involuntarily, yet they gritted their teeth and held their ground.

Lin Yi was also stunned, not even noticing that Yan Luan-shuang had come to his side and taken his cold hand.

Only then did he realize that his senior brother hadn't just given him a little internal energy; he was clearly intending to transmit his entire reserve of Hunyuan energy.

He Yu was indeed capable. In a short time, he had established his prestige at Haozi Ridge, and word had even reached Shazi Camp. Ku Gan was actually in a hurry to get to know him. He Yu wanted to build an empire, and the Northern Frontier was the perfect place to establish his foothold.

Xuan Yuan said helplessly: "How can I make you believe me? I really did fall off Taiyi Peak, and then inexplicably fell into the 'Cave of Infinity'!..." Xuan Yuan had intended to explain in detail how he learned the "Longyuan Sword Technique" in the "Cave of Infinity," as well as the things he had experienced afterward.

"Hehe. It's coming." Cleveland suddenly opened his eyes wide. Blinding light erupted from within.

Li Qing waved his hand, and the Four Symbols Sealing Formation activated instantly. A massive force descended from the sky, suppressing the Vajra Saint.

Inside the Prince of Qin’s private box, Yun Yuanji continued to bid, increasing the price by ten thousand each time. It was clear he had not listened to the middle-aged Taoist’s advice.

They felt extremely exhausted; although the ten-thousand-year spiritual milk could restore their physical strength, it could not eliminate their mental fatigue.
