Chapter 106: An Unexpected Encounter with Li Jincai

At the Flower Valley City inn, everyone gathered around Li Jincai, bombarding him with questions, eager to understand the situation.

“Where did you escape from?” Chaofeng asked.

“The underground palace. I escaped from the underground palace. Our whole team was locked up there, including the eldest senior brother,” Li Jincai hastily replied.

“How did you manage to get out?” Qin Xiaomo asked, puzzled.

“I… my ancestors were grave diggers and mastered the bone-shrinking technique. I crawled out through the bars, taking advantage of the guard shift change, sneaking out through the door’s crack. That’s how I escaped.” Li Jincai was very secretive about his family background, having been bullied since childhood, and no one at the Three Paths Palace had ever really...

Recalling the scenes he had witnessed, Nan He’s suppressed curiosity and doubts resurfaced.

“Ten days?” Earl speculated. If he didn’t have so many people to protect and it was just himself, it might take about half a month to get through. Considering that Calder’s strength back then was probably somewhat greater than his own now, estimating ten days seemed about right.

Yet, because of that fleeing figure, Bi Qianmo’s lips curled into a faint smile, and his mood grew unusually pleasant.

Ye Tian thought to himself that the driver must have traveled frequently between the city and Chengjia Village over the years. Perhaps he knew some rumors about the place or even some untold stories.

Lu Yan didn’t know what she wanted to say to him. Going out was no problem, but the main concern was preventing Shen Yunyun from drawing a knife again. With his skills, the short distance should pose no issue.

“Ah He, are you alright?” He Yuyuan approached from the side, eyes scanning her as if assessing her condition.

Earl knew well that, theoretically, spiritual bodies in the Source Realm had many advantages, far surpassing flesh and blood. Compared to them, the human body was fragile and clumsy. Earl found it difficult to imagine how Doris alone could have reached that place relying solely on her mortal body.

Just as he was about to mention his taste preferences, Yue Wuya paused. If it was salty, Mu Chou would naturally think of Meng Yanyu. If sweet, Meng Yanyu would inevitably feel a bit disappointed. As for spicy, Yue Wuya had never heard of such an option and chose to ignore it.

Casino dealers who lost too much money often simply walked away, and stone gambling masters were no different; if they lost too much, the boss would fire them on the spot.

A deep, low growl came from behind the children, sounding like a hungry beast.

People leave and the tea cools. Unexpectedly, the tea had cooled before even his own people left. Only when you fall from grace can you see who truly stands by you. Duan Zetao shook his head and continued toward his office, just as Chu Lian emerged from it, beaming.

What unsettled Xing Jie and the others even more was the unmistakable presence of a duel arena near the last section of the battlefield.

Family was his hope, and now he had none. Life without hope was painful—until one day, the immortal Silver Dragon Maglith reappeared.

At that moment, Wang Man realized her name was Wang Shu. Seeing the Qing Emperor so courteous, the fiery arrogance she had shown earlier had completely vanished, leaving him deeply moved.

Suddenly, a whirlwind of dust rose again near the western gates of Jinyong City, this time on an even grander scale than before.

This was the cabin of a transport aircraft. The familiar interior structure and engine noise told him it was a C-17A transport plane. Having flown on such planes several times during past missions at the base, he was no stranger to it.

On the battle platform, Ying Zheng stood quietly, his expression calm and unhurried. His gaze settled on Xiao Yan, whose expression still betrayed the struggle between his mortal and divine selves, and a faint smile curled at the corner of Ying Zheng’s mouth.

The sudden anomaly caused the audience to gasp once more. The sky above Meiquan Palace lit up brilliantly, with reflections of mountains and rivers mingling among the sun, moon, and stars—a magnificent and vast spectacle.
