"You must have been quite brave when you were a child."
Nian Qi was slightly taken aback upon hearing Yang Gong's words.
"Have you seen me when I was a child?" Although she was quite familiar with the old man next to her, she only thought that because Yang Gong was the City God worshipped in Taiheng, she might have seen his statue.
"Ha, it's not just you. I know every orphan in this city." Yang Gong shook his head.
He glanced at the bead Nian Qi was holding, especially at the hungry beast within it that had quietly raised its head.
A beast is a beast; it's impossible to expect it to change its nature.
"Be prepared. It might struggle, but don't worry, that person will protect you." This naturally refers to Bai Qian.
Nian Qi was still somewhat dazed, wondering when he had actually met Yang Gong.
Then the old man stretched out his wrinkled palm, and the next moment, countless banyan tree roots and branches sprouted from the ground, reaching towards the dark gray vortex in the sky.
This vortex showed no reaction to the outstretched tree roots.
But the next second, it was as if a towering banyan tree had sprung up from the ground.
The incense, its gold tinged with withered yellow and blackish-gray impurities, seemed to have transformed into a bridge, through which the blackish-gray aura that formed this vortex was continuously transported.
What were originally just slightly wrinkled bark gradually revealed countless faces filled with pain on the banyan tree.
Nian Qi stood carefully to the side, watching, the beads in her hand cracked at some point.
Immediately afterwards, the hungry beast broke free from its restraints within the bead.
They rushed towards the vortex almost without the slightest hesitation.
Half of the city's resentment was captured by Yang Gong, and the other half was devoured by hungry beasts.
The hungry beast's body swelled up almost instantly, expanding from the size of a palm to two zhang, three zhang, or even tens or hundreds of zhang in height.
This was originally a carefully prepared supply for the hungry beasts by the Hundred Demon Pavilion, and at this moment, the hungry beasts could devour these resentments with almost no hindrance.
At the same time, after it devoured these resentments, its aura became even more immense than what Bai Qian had seen before.
This should be considered quite normal, since at that time it had only just recovered and had not yet consumed anything nutritious or useful; it was still in its initial form.
It wasn't exactly amazing before, but things are different now.
Having swallowed all that resentment, even just half of it, was enough for it to regain at least 20% of its power.
It's not just about [domain] anymore; it has already touched upon the higher level of [edict].
However, since monsters grow by devouring, if they want to advance further, they naturally need to devour even more things.
He looked down at the girl in white with a sinister yet excited gaze.
It is completely different now than it was in the past.
Previously, Bai Qian almost killed it with her fists, but now it's different. Even if it were hit a thousand more times, it could withstand it. Moreover, does the opponent really have any strength left? Under normal circumstances, it should take a long time to recover after using that kind of method.
He had already begun to fantasize about whether he could directly bypass the [Imperial Edict] and approach his peak power if he could swallow the other party whole.
While still lost in thought, he noticed that the girl in white below had turned her head to look at him, gazing up at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
As if she had thought of something, she drew a long sword from her sleeve, as slender and clear as the bright moon.
lift.
The hungry beast felt a sudden jolt in its heart, sensing something was wrong.
wrong!
The ominous feeling in my heart had not even spread yet.
The sword energy swept over it like a gentle breeze, severing its body and cutting off its throat.
It stopped it from begging for mercy.

There was a slight mishap; I forgot to update after finishing writing QAQ I thought I had already posted it. I posted two chapters, and there's one more before midnight.
Love you all??? Please read on, meow meow? (???)
Volume 1: Chapter 277, Utterly Dead
Like a gentle spring breeze, it seeped into every inch of skin with delicate and patient force, yet it was also incredibly sharp. Shells, fur, flesh, and domains were all equal before it, piercing and shredding everything that stood in its way.
Strong recovery ability? Tough skin? They're all a joke in front of it.
This wisp of sword light, which seemed capable of cleaving half the heavens and earth, appeared and struck itself in the blink of an eye, a mere shift of belief. It should be said that the moment it appeared, it had already struck itself.
The hungry beast reacted quite quickly; it almost begged for mercy the instant the sword light appeared.
It hasn't done anything yet. It's said to have malicious intent, but it only thinks about it in its heart and doesn't actually do anything.
Unfortunately, the sword light did not give it a chance.
However, it's not that they are completely powerless to resist.
If you can't stop it, you have to run. After absorbing that swirling resentment, all your abilities will increase, especially your most crucial ability to survive.
He had to survive, to survive this wisp of sword light, even if it meant losing most of his body and most of his strength. As long as he could retain even a tiny bit of power, he would have a chance to escape.
After getting away from her, we'll find a way to get back to her.
After an unimaginably long period of time, after being in a coma for so long, and finally being revived with great difficulty, He could not possibly give up so easily.
If you are killed here, you will fall into a deep sleep.
The sword light gradually obliterated the body, and it would probably only take two breaths for the body to be completely destroyed by the sword light.
He fought back with all his might. If he could hold out for another three breaths, he could try to create a clone of himself and escape from the sword light.
They saw hope after giving it their all.
The sword light is not endless; it does have an end.
Even if this so-called end is not yet reached, it is already about to completely obliterate the body that has just grown.
But there was a chance; the sword light was gradually weakening, just one more breath, just one more breath.
The sword light weakened a little more, then a little more...
It suddenly paused for a moment.
Is it an illusion?
At the end of the fading sword light.
It seemed as if another sword light followed closely behind.
A sword light that was even more terrifying than the previous one.
It's not an illusion.
The countless strands of sword light sliced through its body like silk threads, obliterating its consciousness.
The sword aura, seemingly unharmed, swept away in a single stroke, severing all the taller buildings in Taiheng City in half with its light.
It disappeared into the horizon.
The remaining small, crumbly pieces, resembling meat sauce, slowly dripped from mid-air like raindrops.
Ultimately, it will fall back into slumber.
He sighed inwardly, but accepted it nonetheless, thinking that when he was revived again, he would not encounter this monster again.
Something seemed off.
The sword energy remaining in the body did not stop after shattering flesh and blood. It followed the meridians and the domain and entered the soul of the hungry beast, touching the most fundamental power that represented its reincarnation.
Then......
There's no after that.
Once you're dead, you're truly dead; you'll never come back to life.
It was as if the stains on the tiles had been washed away with water, and the sword light had wiped away everything that the hungry beast had left behind.
The moment one dies, consciousness ceases, and the ability to continue thinking is lost.
The meat sauce is like raindrops falling down.
Standing next to Bai Qian, Bai Yao subconsciously pulled Bai Qian behind her to prevent the disgusting rain of saliva from getting on her.
Floating in mid-air, Nian Qi blinked as he watched this scene, feeling a sense of shared sorrow.
After all, I should have considered myself to be one of those people before, right?
"Girl, watch out." Yang Gongkan's sullen reminder came from behind.
The old man was now incredibly frail, his already numerous wrinkles multiplied, and just looking at him, one could almost feel the heavy aura of death emanating from him.
The banyan tree, which was constantly absorbing resentment, continued to grow, and more and more human faces appeared on its bark.
"After it dies, it will release resentment. You should draw that resentment over and bring it to me." The old man seemed to have known all along that the hungry beast wouldn't last long and had already made preparations.
Nian Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, glanced at the old man's appearance, and was not quite sure.
"May I?"
"Hurry up." He didn't explain to Nian Qi, but just urged her.
Upon hearing this, Nian Qi nodded and tried to control the resentment that had dispersed from the hungry beast's body into the air after it turned into minced meat. He found it easy to control.
He easily channeled these resentments into the banyan tree, making the old man's appearance even more terrifying.
Looking at the ground, she saw that Bai Yao was examining Bai Qian as if she were being checked. Bai Qian probably wanted to push away Bai Yao, who was practically glued to her.
Lady Bai Qian seems to have gotten a little shorter?
As I thought this, I found my consciousness starting to drift again.
I was hallucinating.
Standing at the kitchen doorway, smelling the pungent smoke wafting from the stove, Nian Cheng was busy beside the stove, seemingly preparing dishes.
Why do these hallucinations occur...?
Nian Qi seemed a little dazed, perhaps because he didn't understand why...
“Here, give it a try?” Nian Cheng, who was carrying Nian Qi on his back, suddenly turned around and picked up a piece of stewed fatty meat that was soft and tender from the pot.
Staring at the piece of fatty meat, Nian Qi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to open his mouth.
As a result, he was pulled behind him.
The girl in white appeared behind her at some point, frowning as she looked at Nian Cheng standing in the kitchen across the way.
Master Qian?
Nian Qi's somewhat dazed consciousness gradually cleared.
Bai Qian ignored her, only frowning as she glanced at Nian Cheng opposite her.
It must be a wisp of remnant soul that was previously hidden inside the Hungry Beast's body, but has now reappeared after the Hungry Beast died?
Why did it reappear?
Glancing at Nian Qi beside him, he wasn't surprised; she must want to try again to take over Nian Qi's body.
Nian Cheng, who had been smiling, became noticeably flustered upon seeing Bai Qian.
Bai Qian ignored Nian Cheng and looked at Nian Qi again.
"The question we asked before, should we let her live or die?" he asked earnestly.
Nian Qi's reaction upon hearing this was the same as the first time; he blinked somewhat blankly.
"Xiao Qi?" Nian Cheng asked again, pinching the fat in front of Nian Qi.
Nian Qi opened her mouth blankly, but didn't know how to answer. She stared at the meat in Nian Cheng's hand.
"Or maybe we should..." Before she could finish speaking, Bai Qian stared at her with her quiet eyes.
I didn't dare to continue, and could only cough twice.
Bai Qian tiptoed and tried to reach out and tap the person's head twice, but found that she couldn't reach it even on tiptoe.
Nian Qi bent down slightly and was hit hard on the head twice.
