Chapter 35: Once the Soul is Loved, the Flesh Grows Wild

Ye Siran helped Grandma Ye walk toward the elevated rock. Grandma Ye did not ask for her name again, simply calling her "little girl" repeatedly.

"Grandma, are you waiting for Grandpa to come before you eat? Why don't you have some snacks first?" Ye Siran said, taking a small piece of homemade cake from her cloth bag and offering it to her grandmother.

"Mmm, delicious. I have never tasted anything like this. It seems you live quite well, little girl."

Li Yuxin simply said nothing, weeping incessantly. Xu Kai, at a loss, could only pull her into his embrace and let her cry her heart out.

She certainly wouldn't be like Xia Wen, constantly pestering her husband and worrying about him, would she? After all, she appeared so confident; she surely wouldn't stoop to that.

She was unaware that this faint smile of hers, when seen by Dongfang Che, was enough to melt his heart completely.

Dividing the Heavenly Gang Yang Vein was not insurance enough; they still had to invoke the name of Hong Xi to keep things in check. Even if Hong Xi did not return, as long as no news of his death reached them, who could guarantee he would never descend again?

Even an outsider like Lan Youxue could tell that something was wrong between Rong She and Bai Dede. If Rong She truly loved Bai Dede so much, shouldn't he have driven Du Beisheng as far away as possible? Why would the man himself retreat three leagues like this?

Lin Mo's father was a high-ranking official in the Beijing municipal government. Having worked in the capital for decades, his influence was immense, and the key leaders of the Beijing police force were all men he had personally promoted years ago.

Seeing that the tribulation lightning was no longer a problem, it was precisely at this moment that trouble arose from Ye Youyan's side. Bai Dede shared a blood connection with her and felt the moment Ye Youyan's consciousness began to vanish. Even though the foreign soul had been purified by the burning Yin-Yang Cultivation Flower, why was Ye Youyan's consciousness disappearing so rapidly?

"It is not a spy from the Xiongnu; this matter involves the Chancellor of the Dai State," Zhou Juecao said, sitting below Wei Shang and unfolding the confession to explain the situation in detail.

"The Demon Boat is the final sanctuary for us demon cultivators before our extinction. What is stored here is the hope of our kind, our final sacred ground," Nan Cao exclaimed, beside himself with excitement.

Yue Qingqian signaled to Qiuyue, who immediately understood and shouted, "Her Majesty the Queen has arrived!"

Upon seeing these three, Jiang Mo's heart sank. His senses told him that all three possessed immense power.

Suddenly, the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Sword on Jiang Mo's back emitted a trembling sound, and waves of sharp sword energy erupted into the void, as if competing with the sword itself.

At this moment, several figures stood atop the mountain range. Clad in flowing white robes amidst the mountain mist, they looked as if they might ride the wind and depart at any moment.

Arthas, clad in blue and gold battle armor, took the lead. It is worth noting that he was not wielding his usual golden Power of Menethil, but instead gripped a strange, broad-faced longsword.

Although our hearing was somewhat distorted by the environment, it was impossible for me to have misheard a sound coming from such close proximity.

"Yes! It is the Great Dao Struggle. I implore Senior Baxia to intervene," Xu Mu said, bowing respectfully to Baxia once more.

Yet, there was no joy on anyone's face, only utter despair. Just as the Crane God had said before he died, the crisis in the Primordial Star Domain had not been averted; instead, it had become increasingly perilous.

Old Master Huang confessed to us that to open the stone gate, one must first strike both sides of the Yin-Yang Drum three times in front of it. This is called the "Three Beats Before the Gate." Only after the three beats can the Golden-Crowned Monk open the stone door.

Perhaps when Jiang Mo becomes even more powerful in the future, even the Alchemist Guild will find themselves begging for his favor.

Ymiron spat rudely onto the ground. Although his hands and feet were bound, he continued to writhe his strong body, causing the heavy chains to clatter loudly.
