Chapter 50: Breaking the Deadlock

Yang Jin descended the steps slowly and said, "Minister Jin, you should return. I will go inside to meet that person."

"I am here to see Lu Chenzhou."

"In my opinion, Minister Jin, you shouldn’t be here right now. The emperor plans to lead a campaign in early spring next year, and the Ministry of War must have many matters requiring your attention." Yang Jin’s words were clear, yet Jin Zhong, relying on his ministerial status, refused to heed the advice and insisted on entering the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

"Minister Jin is determined to enter—"

A single punch twisted the face before him, collapsing the features, distorting the bridge of the nose, and causing blood to spurt from the mouth and nose.

Beneath the island grew various vines and shrubs entwined together, while the surrounding stone walls emitted faint glimmers of light. Mid-grade spirit stones were scattered everywhere, making it a rather suitable place for martial artists to retreat and cultivate in seclusion.

The corpse monster’s body was impervious to blades and spears; even bullets had no effect. However, their actions only enraged the beast further. The creature let out a ferocious roar, ignoring Wei Qingtian on the police vehicle, and turned to pounce on the nearest officer.

"Fellow Daoist, please come inside. Soon, Ziwei Daoist from Star Mountain will also arrive to meet you. He has been thinking of you for a long time. Since you’ve come this way, it’s the perfect opportunity," Daoist Huangliang said as he led Tang Hao toward the main hall.

What they did not realize was that Mira’s ability to foresee events was actually guided by another presence.

The astonishing scene before them shocked not only their own side but also stirred tumultuous emotions within the demon clan’s boundary lord. The power of the Beast God’s Scepter had long cast a shadow over him; now, it dealt him a significant blow and deep intimidation.

Within moments, the stench of blood grew heavier. It was no longer just ghostly hands emerging, but one grotesque phantom after another clawing their way from underground to attack those on the surface, falling one after another.

Unfortunately, their speed lagged behind the black aura infused with the power of the laws by half a step, ultimately trapping them within the Great Abyss.

With a wave of his hand, a light screen appeared, flickering with human figures. The lord quickly located the profile of the Law Envoy, still bearing the title of Dragon Rider Envoy, marked alongside with “Acting Law Envoy.”

Most importantly, if Team One from Lake Province could not subdue Team One from Moyang now, it would spell great disadvantage for Wang Kai and his comrades later.

Though the latter had defected from the Blood God Clan, there was no way their power could have grown so quietly without secret backing.

Once Ye Feng’s affairs became public knowledge, the Heavenly Palace faction would undoubtedly be shaken. Moreover, their own reputation would soar, and Wang Zhen would rise to unprecedented prominence.

For only outsiders does one politely say “Sorry for troubling you”; among their own, such courtesies are unnecessary.

Due to the curse within her body, Night Qingcheng’s mind force entering her could not exceed the level of an Elementalist Second Rank, or else the curse’s power would consume it at the heart.

What tormented it most was the other party’s complete lack of preparation or any will to survive.

If the guess was correct, this was a deliberate arrangement by the One-Eyed. The purpose was to test whether she had truly come to the Western Dark World out of desperation after being stranded in Huaxia.

Originally, Li Xixi’s cultivation of the Heavenly One Divine Water was meant to gradually merge lower-grade foreign waters in the early stages, steadily raising its grade until it became a Heavenly-Grade Superior Spirit Water—the Heavenly One Divine Water.

Dongyang Mountain was a name steeped in fantasy. With majestic peaks spanning a thousand miles, encircled by long rivers and concealing dragon pools, the mountain range rose sharply into the clouds.

Yet, no one knew where she drew such charm. Helian Duo still couldn’t bear to send her away or even scold her. Seeing her tearful, he was filled with unbearable pity.
