Lucy anxiously touched Mercer's forehead, watching the flashing red light on the netrunner chair.
The shrill whining of the radiators in her ear made a cold sweat bead on her brow. Her hand hovered hesitatingly behind Mercer's ear, and the message she sent still remained unanswered.
Ten seconds ago, the netrunner chair had issued a warning prompt. Mercer had somehow encountered something and unconsciously initiated a neural-link overclock. After the overclocking, Lucy's communication attempts sank like stones into the sea, remaining entirely silent...
"Miss Ling, as you wished, today is the last day you have to drink this medicine. You can finally rest easy, right?" Lei Xin sat by the bedside, holding a bowl of medicine.
The snowy landscape in the dark night possessed a hazy beauty, yet companion to this hazy scenery were all sorts of unknown perils.

Although this True Fire Grand Array was set up by Lord Lifeng himself, every single array foundation was manned by their subordinates. Therefore, while the source of the true fire originated from Lifeng, the energy that maintained the operation and surging of the true fire came from the true qi and spiritual power of the subordinates stationed at each array base.

"No way?" Xu Qing was a bit bewildered. She had no choice but to size her up once more, her gaze dropping to her crotch before she suddenly reached out a hand and grabbed her there.
With a fierce downward press of her hand—bang! The floorboards beside her suddenly collapsed, instantly revealing a two-zhang-wide, deep, and gloomy circular opening.
After reading through this chat history, Caitlyn's gaze remained fixed on the computer screen, staring blankly as if lost in thought. A moment later, she finally raised her head and cast a glance around her surroundings.

Even the most basic "Fa" is a priceless treasure. Such items are absolute foundations for the establishment of a sect and represent its very lifeline. "Fa" possesses infinite marvelous uses; even the lowest-tier "Fa" requires one to reach the Convergence of Streams Realm or the Bone-Forging Realm before it can be practiced. Its value is immeasurable.
Looking at the resplendent and magnificent entrance before him, Qin Junxi felt as though he had done something wrong.
A short while later, Zhang Yue flashed past clutching the "cross," darting into a blind spot. Zhang Yue put her coat back on, untied the hemp rope, and threw it along with the stick onto the ground.
