Chapter 1535 - 1521: Descendants of Tian Mang

"Eternal Realm, what is that?" Lin Chuan asked.

Master Hong Jun said, "The Eternal Realm is an existence beyond the Three Realms, always aiming to rule the Three Realms and use them as their tool."

Lin Chuan frowned slightly and said, "Then how can I stop them?"

Master Hong Jun showed an approving smile and said, "The Eternal Realm is actually a parallel space beyond the Three Realms. If you can seal the space gateway through which they invade the Three Realms, you can naturally eliminate this catastrophe."

"Then how can I seal the space gateway?" Lin Chuan asked again.

Master Hong Jun said, "That depends on you, I don't know much about it."

Lin Chuan paused, then said, "Wasn't it said that the Heavenly Tribulation was caused by the enmity between Human King Fu Xi and Yaoji? How does the Eternal Realm come into this?"

Master Hong Jun laughed, "Tian Mang's duty has always been to prevent Yaoji from wreaking havoc upon the world. The disaster of Yaoji is not enough to affect the Three Realms, but once the Eternal Realm controls the Three Realms, the Three Realms will fall completely under their control, and humanity's extinction would not be far off."

Lin Chuan said, "Master, weren't you going to tell me two things? What's the other?"

Master Hong Jun said, "Since ancient times, as a bearer of Tian Mang, you are forbidden to have any offspring. Over the centuries, you are the only one to have descendants. The identity of Tian Mang's descendants is very special. If a cultivator acquires your descendant's bloodline, it will cause a great upheaval in the Three Realms."

Lin Chuan was slightly stunned and said, "Master, what do you mean by this?"

Master Hong Jun sighed slightly and said, "Between heaven and earth, there are mysteries even we cannot explain. Similarly, why Tian Mang's descendants can enhance a cultivator's inner strength tenfold, if not more, is beyond explanation as well."

Lin Chuan was stunned once more and said, "Master, there's one more thing I don't understand. What exactly is 'Three Stars in One Line'?"

Master Hong Jun said, "In Taoist terms, 'Three Stars in One Line' refers to Venus, the Golden Crow, and planet Earth being aligned on the same line. It's a very peculiar cosmic phenomenon. On this day, demons will rampage across the human world, hence this day is called Heavenly Tribulation Day."

Lin Chuan acknowledged with a sound, nodded, and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave."

Master Hong Jun laughed heartily, "Tian Mang, to ensure you can completely seal the parallel space gateway, I have specially imparted a set of seal techniques to you."

...

In Double Dragons Mountain.

Qin Zhengnan, looking grim, scolded Qin Shaobing, "You useless brat, you don't even know where to die. Even Sect Master Qin Zhengxiong died at Lin Chuan's hands, and you still dare to act so arrogantly. Go, quickly release those two girls."

Qin Shaobing, full of reluctance, said, "Dad, although the Sect Master is dead, our ancestor has come out to hold the situation together. Why should we be afraid of that bastard Lin Chuan?"

Qin Zhengnan sighed slightly, "What do you know? Even though your ancestor Qin Peiling has come out to support the situation, you still don't think. In Jiangbei City's Hongyuan Building, if your ancestor had the ability, he wouldn't have gotten injured."

Qin Shaobing snorted, clearly disagreeing with Qin Zhengnan's words.

Qin Zhengnan continued, "Currently, Maoshan Tao is leaderless. Lin Chuan will likely come looking for us soon. To leave a way out for you and me, you'd better release those two girls quickly and courteously send them back."

Qin Shaobing was really unwilling in his heart. Why? Wasn't it because Huang Mengqi and Wu Yuanyuan were pretty, and he wanted to take advantage of the situation?

Qin Zhengnan could clearly understand his beloved son's thoughts. Cursing himself internally for having such a rotten son, but given the current unfavorable situation for Maoshan Tao, he could only do this for the sake of himself and his son.

Had it been in the past, when Lin Chuan had not yet become a threat, he would have let his beloved son do as he pleased.

Though reluctant, Qin Shaobing couldn't refuse his father's words and had to walk out to where Wu Yuanyuan and Zhao Mengqi were being held captive.

Huang Mengqi and Wu Yuanyuan were confined in a room. When Qin Shaobing pushed open the door, Wu Yuanyuan began cursing, "Qin Shaobing, you bastard, one day I'll show you what I'm capable of."

With anger burning inside him, Qin Shaobing walked fiercely up to Wu Yuanyuan and slapped her across the face, saying, "You bitch, believe it or not, I'll strip you naked."

Wu Yuanyuan, her temper flaring from Qin Shaobing's slap, yelled, "Qin Shaobing, what kind of skill is hitting a woman? If you have guts, go face Lin Chuan."

Mentioning Lin Chuan only fueled Qin Shaobing's anger further. Without a word, he raised his right hand and slapped Wu Yuanyuan twice more across the face.

The force of the slaps was not light, leaving several handprints on Wu Yuanyuan's pale face, which quickly swelled up.

Standing aside, Huang Mengqi couldn't bear the sight any longer, and though she was bound with ropes, she shouted at Qin Shaobing, "If you have the guts, come at me. Bullying a girl, aren't you embarrassed?"

Qin Shaobing looked at Huang Mengqi, a wicked smile suddenly appearing on his face. He reached out and grabbed Huang Mengqi's ample chest, saying, "Damn it, such a beautiful chick, and Lin Chuan, that bastard, got her. Today, I'm going to have a taste too."

As he spoke, he wrapped his left hand around Huang Mengqi's collar, pulling hard. With a ripping sound, Huang Mengqi's clothes were torn off by Qin Shaobing.

Huang Mengqi couldn't help but scream, while Wu Yuanyuan beside her cursed loudly: "Qin Shaobing, you beast, you'll get what's coming to you."

Qin Shaobing laughed wickedly, "You little bitch, I've been chasing you for so long, and you ignore me. Hehe, today I'm going to entertain two phoenixes with one dragon, it's going to be great, haha."

With her clothes torn open by Qin Shaobing, Huang Mengqi's full chest was exposed. Out of extreme anger, the two plump mounds heaved up and down, looking very enticing.

The more he saw this, the stronger the fire in Qin Shaobing's heart became. With eyes filled with intense desire, he reached towards Huang Mengqi's pants to tear them.

The two of them were tied up and couldn't move at all, completely at the mercy of Qin Shaobing's abuse.

Huang Mengqi seemed to despair, it looked like it would be difficult to escape this beast's grasp today, while Wu Yuanyuan kept cursing loudly and struggled hard.

At this critical moment, the door was suddenly kicked open. Qin Zhengnan stormed in with a face full of anger and slapped Qin Shaobing's face several times, scolding, "You beast, I told you to politely send the two back, and this is what you do."

Qin Zhengnan slapped with considerable force, causing Qin Shaobing's mouth to bleed. He covered his face, looking at Qin Zhengnan, not knowing how to explain.

Qin Zhengnan looked at Qin Shaobing, getting angrier with each glance, but he couldn't do much to his precious son. He shouted loudly, "Get out now."

Qin Shaobing, covering his face, awkwardly walked out of the room.

After Qin Shaobing left, Qin Zhengnan immediately switched to a smiling face as he approached Wu Yuanyuan and Huang Mengqi, saying apologetically, "Ladies, sorry for the fright, I sincerely apologize."

As he spoke, Qin Zhengnan untied Huang Mengqi and Wu Yuanyuan. With the ropes loosened, Huang Mengqi couldn't help but collapse into Wu Yuanyuan's arms and burst into tears.

At this moment, Wu Yuanyuan wasn't much better off than Huang Mengqi, her face swollen like a watermelon.

"Ladies, take a rest and tidy yourselves up. I'll have someone send you back soon," Qin Zhengnan said awkwardly, then turned and walked out.

...

Shanghai, a certain hospital.

Zhou Kai received the news of Zhou Rui's death, feeling even more sorrowful than when Lu Dapao and Li Qiang died. However, he remained strong to arrange Zhou Rui's affairs.

After all, Zhou Rui was a member of Jvyi Gang and the executive president of Sichuan University Group.

As night gradually fell, Zhou Rui's aunt, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, was being watched by Tang Yumeng. When she saw her asleep, Tang Yumeng quietly left the room.

Blue Fox sat on a bench in the corridor, his expression somewhat dazed as if lost in thought.

Approaching the bench, Tang Yumeng sat down and softly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Blue Fox turned his head to look at Tang Yumeng and said, "What do you think people live for in this lifetime?"

Tang Yumeng was taken aback that Blue Fox would ask such a question. After a moment of thought, she replied, "Living is really about family, love, and friendship. Like Zhou Rui, for the sake of her child and her loved ones, she was willing to give up her life."

Although Tang Yumeng's explanation was somewhat strained, Blue Fox's eyes unexpectedly glistened with tears after hearing it, saying, "Zhou Rui truly was a remarkable woman."

During the time spent with Zhou Rui, Blue Fox indeed felt a lot.

"Alright, stop daydreaming here. Let's go see Zhou Rui's child," Tang Yumeng said with a forced smile to Blue Fox.

Blue Fox nodded, stood up, and the two headed towards the hospital's infant ward.

The hospital's infant ward was on the fourth floor, and they now stood in front of the glass window of the infant ward, looking at the many babies inside.

Neither of them spoke, peacefully gazing at the infants in the ward.

A doctor wearing a white coat approached, pushing a small cart. Wearing a mask, his face was obscured.

The doctor pushed the cart to the front of the infant ward door, first glancing at Tang Yumeng and Blue Fox, hesitating slightly before opening the door and going inside.
