Chapter 329: Clear the Bugs Ahead

Li Changan asked swiftly, his forward stride never faltering for a single beat.

"Right ahead of you, three hundred meters out, take a left!"

Bai Lin continued, his fingers flying across the terminal as he scanned the mining zone's topography.

"But there are still remnants of the insectoid swarm near that corridor, likely individuals that just broke free from the hive mind's control.

They are few in number, but they have lost all restraint and are fiercely aggressive!"

"Understood!"

Li Changan nodded, his voice sharp and decisive.

The closer he drew, the more Xiong Yuan’s heart filled with trepidation, wondering how his dear brother, unseen for over a decade, was faring now.

Yet he surmised this fellow had likely managed, with flawless precision, to bypass every single heavenly law concerning intellect during his successive awakenings.

Hua Jiu ignored her, staring intently at the pile of fire as her face instantly turned as pale as parchment; how could she not see they were a step too late, for within the embers she could faintly discern the charred remnants of boot fabric, everything else entirely reduced to ash without a single trace.

Aihara Horio barked sharply at Rimiko, "My mind is made up!" and Rimiko instantly withered, offering a meek compliance.

Wang Desheng, who had been resting with closed eyes on the lecture stage, immediately stood up and stepped forward with a welcoming smile upon spotting Lin Tian.

Not only was he alive, but Su Xuan had actually used one hand to shield his face while his other hand repeatedly batted away the grenades raining down upon him.

The one suffering the greatest headache right now had to be Bai Zongwei; the computer network at headquarters had been breached by the artificial intelligence, which adapted so swiftly, raising firewall after firewall, that the technicians working overtime were running out of tricks and fast approaching their wits' end.

Just as he was about to set her down, Hu Li’s body suddenly went limp against Fang Ao’s lap, her exquisite face flushed deep red, her eyes brimming with a tender, watery affection as she gazed up at him.

She sent word to Feng Mo, who went ahead to reserve a room at the inn; considering that no inn could ever match the comfort of Hua Jiu's dwelling, he decided to go there alone, leaving Xi Wanwan behind with Hua Jiu.

"You silly girl, how can you question your old man's skills when you haven't even heard it yet," the middle-aged man said, glaring at Ji Caiyun.

The crowd gazed into the distance, peering at the Flame Emperor Wutong tree as it reached its absolute peak, reviving and casting down a canopy-like radiance where every branch and leaf seemed to forge a world of its own, bearing the faith of living beings as the ancient tree soared from the magma, continuously rising.

Upon hearing these words, Lü Zhi hurriedly grasped her master's right hand with both of hers, pressing it against her cheek as she eagerly answered in agreement.

Furthermore, with Lin Lijian speaking in a manner that gave me ample face, if I were to pursue the matter endlessly, it would instead seem as though I were the one in the wrong.

Zhang Jiayi wept bitter tears, staring at the budding purple flower beneath her body, her face completely masked in absolute terror.

For ordinary cultivators, their practice regarding the phantom avatar and the true corporeal form always favored the cultivation of the true form, reserving it as a critical measure for confronting enemies; the manifestation of their true form marked the moment they fully unleashed their true power.

"Did the senior truly say that?" He found it hard to believe; was this what the Silver Venerable meant by handling everything himself?

As for the bronze bell Xue Qianxun had gifted him, he carried it along when he returned to Great Bear Mountain, for he was truly captivated by the exquisite craftsmanship of that little bell. To him, anything cast in bronze possessed an inherent magic, a charm that naturally filled one's heart with delight and made it impossible to put down.

"Because he was once Su Hanyu's boyfriend, and she eventually dumped him. No matter how excellent a man used by Su Hanyu might be, I disdain him!" Lu Junyi said haughtily, gesturing for me to release her hand, as it was still inappropriate to display our intimacy in front of outsiders.

Yet before any conclusion could be drawn regarding Zhao Xilai’s true intentions, an excruciatingly awkward silence settled over the scene.
