“I did not catch you with one hand?” Despite the fact that the previous girl had misplaced an arm, she nonetheless sneered as she spoke after which shook her remaining arm.
With a crack, her proper arm additionally shook off and fell to the bottom.
All of a sudden, black arms emerged from the bottom in layers, resembling the branches of a tree.
Seeing the rising variety of limbs, Xu Ziyang wasted no time. He was surrounded by golden gentle as his geng metallic qi stuffed his physique, reworking him right into a vajra warrior.

“Roar—”
By way of pure yin vitality, it was even stronger than the previous girl from earlier.
“We didn’t come right here to rescue you within the first place,” Ling Ao interjected.
“Uh…” Chen Luo’s smile froze for a second.
Chu Liang silently nodded to himself, pondering that whereas this manner of talking lacked social grace… It was fairly satisfying.
Jiang Yuebai well timed requested, “Officer Chen, why did you enter this deserted Shen Household Residence?”

Listening to this, Chen Luo mentioned, “This deserted Shen Household Residence was right here even earlier than my brother took workplace in Shaonan City. It has at all times been sealed by a restriction, with just some details about it left by the earlier officer in cost.”
“The Shen Household was as soon as a rich family in Shaonan City. Nevertheless, they have been later accused of being remnants of the earlier dynasty and plotting a revolt. Through the court docket’s investigation, regardless of the Shen household having no cultivators, two consultants from the Imperial Supervisory Bureau died of their home!

The court docket additionally sealed the information, stating that the Shen household rebelled and this place harbors vengeful spirits, forbidding anybody to method.
“It is virtually twenty years now, and the restriction has out of the blue lifted…” he mentioned with a nervous tone. “I am unsure whether or not it is a blessing or a curse.”
