Chapter 189: Woman's Miraculous Brain Circuit!

The transformations within the City of Azure Profundity were swift as shifting sands, a new guise with each breaking dawn, so that even Su Ruobing, despite her frequent visits, found herself struck by fresh and subtle wonders every time she came.

To deceive the watchful eyes of the world, the twin factories remained idle and shuttered by day.

The laborers did their work only under the cover of night.

Yet even so, within the mere span of these few days, the production lines within the factory walls had undergone a sea change, overturned entirely from their former state.

Stacked deep within the recesses of the plant lay a great multitude of metal cannon barrels.

Among them, the most intricate and precise

Yet there remained but a single place where no joy resided, touched instead by a shadow of grief; this was the Phoenix Perch Palace, where Mu Yiyi now dwelt.

Perhaps in the eyes of the players, Wu Jie's volley of rapid arrows might have passed for an ultimate, devastating art, but with the Demon Bull General as the mark, the consequence left Wu Jie not knowing where to hide his face in shame.

"Your Majesty, how have we wandered into this place? It is truly a sinister turn..." Yanqi grumbled, muttering to himself as he swayed and peered curiously into the depths of the Phoenix Perch Palace.

The terror that had just been dispelled surged anew within the hearts of the soldiers under this violent aura, and even the veteran warriors, one after another, betrayed their rising panic. They gripped their weapons tighter and tighter, the cavalry tugged sharply on their reins, and the warhorses shifted uneasily, hooves drumming the earth.

Upon the boundless and eternal sea of souls, Xiao Yu lay draped across a hazy, indistinct bed. His fingers twitched ever so slightly, and then, his eyelids slowly parted.

"I ruined you? Utter nonsense! If not for you, I would have departed this place in a few days, yet you dare claim that I brought about your ruin?" Oreal's voice was likewise choked with a rising fury.

"You are the one who is strange! Let us go then, who is afraid of whom!" Huang Minshan followed closely at Qin Yang’s heels as they stepped out of the guest house.

"With only you and Yun Tianlan living here now, there is no need for so many helping hands; too many people only bring disorder," Shui Qing said, hearing her grandfather suggest hiring a couple more cleaners.

"What is there to fear? Even with the three of them, we have no cause for dread; besides, they may not necessarily choose to cross us," Li Lianshan said.

"Very well! I shall handle the paperwork for you, and once it is done, I will arrange a dinner with the several proprietors responsible for the widening of the township highway!" Li Jianjun looked out at the distant riverbank, yielding to a wave of grand ambition as he gave his word.

Perhaps because he had not known such ease in so long, Qiongs unconsciously drifted into memories of things long past.

Thereafter, at the tenth and eleventh passes, the defending garrisons—being adventurers from alien realms—flung open their gates and surrendered one after another; the twelfth pass fell as Lu Yu led his men to undermine it with tunnels; the thirteenth was swallowed by a deluge; while the officers and soldiers of the fourteenth and fifteenth passes fled at the mere sight of the wind, only to be ambushed and utterly annihilated along the way by the troops Lu Yu had dispatched.

As the old adage goes, even if the bargain fails, the fellowship remains! Business may not be done, but the friendship endures! We have committed no monstrous atrocity, so what reason have you to be so furious?

Upon returning to the shore from that floating state, I chanced upon Tang Yueqing again; she was drenched in blood, her eyes verging on purple, and a deep, brownish-purple scar carved across her face was a startling sight to behold. She seemed to say something with immense fury, yet she seemed to say nothing at all, only dyeing my own eyes into a shade of purple as well.

The moment the words left Lu Yu's mouth, the entire assembly of Kelunites and the cosmic behemoth, Karen, erupted into a roar of laughter.

Now, it was Madame Gu's turn to be struck with utter astonishment; she had never imagined that Lu Yu, at such a tender age, would possess mastery over spatial divine arts, casting that obnoxious, fat man directly outside the tavern walls.

The instant the fireball touched the medicinal herbs, they flared into immediate combustion, and a moment later, a thread of azure smoke drifted upward; with the emergence of this vapor, a faintly shimmering film manifested upon Xue Gao's form.

Just as he stepped past the threshold of the Battle Qi Academy, a haggard-faced old man abruptly seized him by the arm.

He pondered every past detail with absolute serenity, striving to find where the error lay, for to him, after all, everything could still be begun anew.
