Chapter 58: Rain is Burning

Nearly a quarter of the firmament transformed from pitch black to dark azure, shining with a brilliance never seen even on the clearest of days.

Whether in the workshops, the moors, or the courtyards, people instinctively halted their tasks, gazing upward in bewilderment. Shimmering stars were falling, pure azure in hue, carrying a fierce and intense heat.

Toddlers reached out toward the stars with delighted gasps, while older youths shielded the younger ones, still bewildered as to what was happening. Flashes of tales heard in childhood flitted through their minds—

In the distance, Yan Liang and Shen Pei, who had been waiting to capture the North Gate of Linzi in one stroke, stared with vacant expressions as their own armored juggernauts disintegrated amidst a heart-wrenching roar, ultimately reducing to heaps of ash.

Witnessing this scene, Chen Yun became even more certain that the two tormented divine dragons bore a profound connection to the Fire Dragon.

Li Hao was preparing to make the existence of Ironhide public in a few days. Since he intended to manufacture robots anyway, having Ironhide show his face would no longer be an issue.

However, the ships carried weapons, which meant someone had to keep watch over them. Li Wuliu and his archer squad were evidently the most suitable choice.

He remarked, "Wherever Miss Lian goes, death follows. Perhaps you should simply refrain from venturing out casually in the future." His tone was light and ambiguous, leaving it unclear whether it was mockery or a sincere suggestion.

Amidst the bustling crowd, Li Qing'an and Dugu Mingyue walked slowly side by side. Enjoying the dazzling, colorful lanterns that lined the streets while chatting leisurely, their bodyguards led the horses behind them, pointing at the festive lanterns with pleasant surprise and whispering among themselves.

Madame Yunzhen felt her eye sockets grow hot, and tears tumbled down in a rush, like a broken string of pearls or a torrential downpour.

Among these, red and green lights appeared frequently. All malevolent ghosts possessed no real consciousness; they were driven solely by the obsession lodged within their hearts, which continually manipulated them.

Rushi pulled her younger sister aside and whispered, "Ruhua, Eldest Brother only wants to take us so we won't feel lonely on New Year's Eve, but we cannot go."

He inquired of the pawnbroker, asking whether anyone during the Song Dynasty had provided intermediary services.

Hearing Xiuneng's words, Liunian froze for a moment, then looked straight at Si Lvhen and immediately asked, "So, is he really going to die?"

Yet, that was already a century ago. Why was her soul so obsessed with searching for Chunsheng, waiting for him with such bitter endurance? Looking at her sorrowful expression, it hardly seemed feigned, and it had lasted for many years. What on earth had happened that fateful night to cause such a rift between them, remaining a mystery to all for a century, utterly baffling to everyone?

After finishing breakfast, I announced my decision to depart for the Northeast immediately, as time was pressing and matters there could no longer wait.

Yuxian's tone gradually softened as well. She truly had no other choice left, forcing her to tone down her demeanor.

Lowering his head, Xiao Heng saw the blood staining Meng Jingyi's light-colored jeans and instantly turned pale as a sheet.

Following closely behind the old village chief, watching the shadows cast by the flashlight beam, I felt as though something was amiss, though I could not quite put my finger on what it was.

Just moments earlier, Mu Xiao had initiated a summoning spell within the room, with Blue Spirit and Wen Jiaren by his side channeling spiritual energy into him. Yet his cultivation, meridians, and mental fortitude simply could not withstand a summoning of such magnitude.

"Well, well. It's only been a few days, but the Young Master is truly starting to impress," Mu Wan said with a radiant smile.

Fang Qingxuan arrived at the middle courtyard and spotted Zhao Zi. Zhao Zi was attempting to chase Luna toward the office, but Luna blocked his path.

One must bear in mind that anyone selected by them to brave the trials at a time like this had to possess a strength at least on par with a Dragon General upon their initial arrival at Lu Star, or perhaps even surpass them.

If Jia Min could manage to get involved, not only would her own abilities be put to good use, but it would also yield tremendous benefits for the Lin family in the future.

However, Hou Junji was clearly lusting after this so-called fortune; he wanted to evolve into a superman just like Li Shimin.
