Chapter 105: Reaching the Heavens
Bei Yu attended to Lu Qingqing tirelessly, leading the way ahead, and from then on, they were no longer troubled by the black little bugs. They vanished completely, as if Bei Yu had brought along a pest exterminator.
They quickly crossed mountains and ridges, finally arriving at Yun City. It was still more breathtaking than imagined; as far as the eye could see, the land lay barren and desolate—absolutely nothing remained.

The expressions on these young disciples’ faces seemed only to appear during the annual memorial ceremony of the Murong family. Yet, they were horrified to find that their legs felt as if weighed down by thousands of pounds, and above their heads, an oppressive force pressed down from the heavens. Even before it fully landed, it felt like countless towering mountains bore down upon their shoulders, severely restricting their movement.
On the American aircraft carrier, the lost vessel Yesford seemed to sense Lin Xiang’s gaze. Originally forlorn, a sudden thought arose in his mind—that Lin Xiang was about to make a move.
“Duoduo, there’s no use in you taking this. Can you please give it back? If you do, I’ll give you something even better,” Feng Li coaxed, mixing coaxing with a hint of deceit.
The next day, Lu Qiushi went to work early, clearing his leave with Manager Wei and throwing himself into diligent effort. Hufa’s previous actions had indeed made him regard Hufa as a friend, but everything witnessed tonight caused him deep anguish.
The mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Yang Heng had yet to be confirmed, but several major upheavals had indeed occurred in the capital. After a long, secret discussion between two men, a conclusion was reached. Just as they prepared to return to the villa to rest, they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.
“Great-grandfather’s health seems better than before!” Chu Yan smiled faintly, speaking obediently to Chu Ran.
Smoke billowed and fierce battles raged; the once peaceful Pacific Ocean had transformed into a bloody battlefield.
Su Jinge finally snapped back to reality and turned to look at Qin Yunqian’s handsome profile. Moonlight cast upon his face, his long eyelashes shadowing his eyes, rendering his emotions indecipherable. Wu Niang had been right—he was indeed a beauty. Even under the eerie moonlight, his face softened.

Such illusions often appeared, each vision varying, but this time, the two found the scene strangely familiar.
After bidding farewell to the others, Luo Feng immediately left with Elder Qian Yuan, heading toward the Chamber of Commerce Hall.
Chu Xunyu smiled bitterly. “None of this is a coincidence. You didn’t come to capture us just to feed. I’ve been pondering this all along—you planned to capture us from the start, didn’t you?” His words made everyone’s expressions turn grave as they looked on.
Gu Qingcheng and Ji Yingsu flanked Yang Yao, one feeding him meat, the other vegetables, just as naturally as when Yang Yao’s arm was broken long ago.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked to see a white-haired elder who had somehow appeared on the arena stage. He smiled broadly at Chu Chen. Tall in stature, his voice carried a subtle authority, clearly that of someone accustomed to high office.
Fortunately, good news soon arrived. The previously overlooked Xue Ju gave birth to a dragon son for Zhu Houzhao, causing the entire court to rejoice—truly a celebration throughout the realm.
