chapter 992: three ancient ones
li huowang sat outside the house, covering the wound on his forehead with his bangs. he stared aimlessly at the forest ahead, letting his gaze rest while thinking about his problems.
“here.” a can of cola appeared in front of li huowang. he took it and realized that it was still cold.
“where did you buy it?” li huowang drank a sip before passing it back to yang na.
she smiled proudly. “a small convenience store. i didn’t expect to find one out here in the countryside. it’s simple, but it has the basics.”
she then looked at how grumpy li huowang was and consoled him, saying, “don’t worry. we can win this. we’re simings who govern the heavenly daos. fu shengtian threw so many of his simings at us and still lost. they’re no match for us—we’re stronger than we think. we’ve taken down many of their simings, and only a few of us have fallen. this time, we’ll win.”
yang na had become more relaxed and cheerful since embracing li huowang’s worldview, and she had overcome her depression.
he knew she was trying to cheer him up, but her words couldn’t lift his spirits. his mind kept circling back to what qing wanglai had told him.
li huowang couldn’t fully believe or dismiss the words of the sitting oblivion dao. their truths were always mixed with lies, making it hard to discern truth from deception.
and then there was the matter of the three ancient ones’ plan. his intentions remained a mystery, even when the enemy was practically at their doorstep.
qing wanglai was his enemy now. a regular enemy wasn’t a threat, but qing wanglai was someone who understood their strengths and weaknesses. he was a major threat.
“stop thinking and come inside for a meal. we need to be full if we want to deal with our problems. the chicken in the countryside is amazing. i snuck a few pieces while they were cooking.”
yang na pulled li huowang into the house and seated him on the table. various dishes were being served, and one of the dishes was mushroom braised chicken.
the delicious scent made chen hongyu salivate uncontrollably.
yang na was correct. the chicken was delicious, tender, and juicy. it was well marinated, and even its bone was fragrant. it was completely different from the chicken they bought in the supermarket.
“qing wanglai, what are you doing here!”
li huowang’s angry shout reverberated throughout the entire house.
chen hongyu clicked her tongue and continued eating her rice. “sheesh, why so noisy? go outside if you’re going to shout.”
li huowang grabbed his sword and snarled. “why are you back in the baiyu capital? we’re all here, and yet you dare to come back?”
li huowang swung his blade furiously in front of him.
“li huowang, what are you talking about? there’s nothing in front of you,” wu qi said in confusion.
“of course, you can’t see it! what is seen but not perceived is called ‘invisible’; what is heard but not heard is called ‘rare’; what is grasped but not obtained is called ‘subtle.’ i’ve said this before—we cannot see the body of the three ancient ones!”
li huowang had just said that when he rolled backward.
his frustration mounted as the others continued eating, oblivious to the danger. they couldn’t sense what was happening in the other world.
only li huowang and qing wanglai could influence both worlds.
li huowang never thought qing wanglai would attack them from the other world.
although this confirmed that yi donglai’s treatment was working, there was no time to celebrate. if the three ancient ones succeeded in snatching him away, part of ji zai would be stolen as well. they would be in deep trouble later on.
li huowang glared at the empty void in the baiyu capital. he was on the verge of risking his life. suddenly, yang na grabbed her gun and fired at the empty space in front of him.
