Chapter 38: Fine, Keep Your Secrets

"It is finished. How are you feeling, sir?" Han Yang asked, looking at Song Yuan.

"I feel completely refreshed, and the itching is gone. Thank you so much, Divine Doctor Han. I will forever cherish this debt of gratitude for saving my life."

Han Yang did not respond. He glanced around and realized that Tao Tao and the other doctors were nowhere to be seen. They must have seen...

As soon as their heads rose above the city wall, the scene outside came into their view.

Ling Fengzi noticed that there was nothing unusual about the man’s gait, but he wore a felt hat with a black cloth draped from the brim, obscuring his face so that his features remained hidden.

With only the two of them left by the lake, an eerie silence fell. Even with Ye Suiyun by his side, Tang Xiao could not help but feel a chill in his bones at the sight of the corpses scattered far and near, and he hurriedly pulled Ye Suiyun away.

Therefore, never mind a hundred-meter-thick iron ore vein; even if it were ten times thicker, as long as there was something inside the spirit cavern, they would have to dig until the very end, even if they had to do it by hand.

Sensing vaguely that the Floating Spirit Beast had reached a depth of a hundred meters underground in an instant, Chen Zhifan opened his mouth and exhaled a plume of thick corpse aura onto the crystal ball in his hand.

He had not expected that the Great Leader, for reasons unknown, would go so far as to threaten to expose Ling Xiaozi’s identity to the public. How could he not be furious?

Before long, three fire giants, each four or five meters tall, appeared before them, while the one that had transformed from the junior sister, the restoration expert, suddenly disintegrated, and the black flames on her body vanished.

"Is that so? You think you're invincible just because you have an immunity chip? Who gave you that confidence?!" Zhang Yifan stared coldly at She Hua.

What Chen Zhifan could not fathom, however, was when this man in black had appeared. He had not sensed a thing.

The essence of this fist technique lay in its ability to create a vacuum, causing a drastic change in the air pressure inside and outside the human body. The body could not withstand such pressure, ultimately resulting in the victim exploding to death.

He noted that these three Nine-Patterned Demon Talismans did not look like the work of a grand demon master; rather, they resembled the scribbles of an apprentice.

He silently recited the refining mantra to refine the long sword strapped to his back, all the while pondering the intentions of these three disciples of the Poshuo Sect.

In truth, he did not know that the moment they left after choosing to cooperate with Yin Zhongxian, Luo Mingyin and Luo Xinyang had arrived to reach an agreement with Yin Zhongxian as well. Both sides got what they needed, leaving the three members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance completely in the dark.

Xiao Jiuque felt his fury boiling to its limit. With a flick of his wrist, he thrust his sword to meet the lunging Xiao Nanhe.

Above the Hundred Ghost Cave, Tang Zuo stood upon a golden bridge, his expression now twisted and grim—a far cry from his previous aloof and ethereal demeanor.

The blood-red rainbow wrapping around the exotic beast was a portion Xu Qi had split from his own, far less powerful than the one formed from Li She’s physical body. Even so, this rainbow possessed the power of devouring and assimilation, and when unleashed, it still held considerable strength.

This was the greatest puzzle in Miaoxiu’s heart. She could not understand why Tang Zuo, despite clearly having the ability to stop him, had chosen not to use it and allowed Xu Qingzhi to leave.

They watched the carriage slowly disappear. It would only stay for an hour; if no one came, it would leave the goods and depart. A wave of fear washed over them, and they longed to flee.

Yun Fan’s gaze was mocking: "The people of the Hao family are all cut from the same cloth. If I ever run into that idiot Hao Jiuyou outside, I will surely cripple him."

At the thought of Elder Mo, Yun Fan could not calm his heart. Countless memories flashed through his mind, making it impossible for him to focus on his cultivation—a situation that had been rare for him in recent years.
