Chapter 159: Bugs... Never Truly Defeatable! (Sand of Time, Part 7)
KP: After crawling out of the dog hole, Sha brought you to a remote courtyard in the upper left corner of the palace with ease. It seemed that no one had been here for a long time. The weathered courtyard walls were covered with dangerous cracks, and the rotten doors and windows were covered with dust and cobwebs. There was a dry well in the middle of the courtyard. The cold wind blew through the wellhead, making it hum, and it seemed very bleak and desolate.
Xiao Huohuo: What is this place? Why is it so desolate? It's like it's haunted. (Pinching nose)
Sha: Oh, because according to legend, many people died here, and everyone thought it was ominous, so they avoided it, and it became abandoned over time.
Xiao Huohuo:?
Han Buli: ...ha people.
KP: Ha people? Ha people, that's right. Come on! Han Buli, have some willpower!
Han Buli: Not my friend.
Xiao Huohuo: Laugh, those people are the ones who show their heads the moment they are killed.
Han Buli: Is this right?
Joan of Arc: That’s right.
Han Buli: (half annoyed)
Han Buli: Will, 77/35, failed.
Han Buli: Damn you KP, if you dare to deduct my MP limit, I will never let you go.
KP: Don’t worry, Han Buli, you can come up with another inspiration.
Han Buli:?
Xiao Huohuo: Oh? Is there a chance? (alert)
Joan of Arc: Is this a plot twist?
Han Buli: Inspiration, 30/30, success.
Romeo: 6.
Joan of Arc: Okay, okay, the limit!
Romeo: Handsome, handsome, handsome!
KP: Yes. So, just as Sha mentioned how many people had died here, Han Buli, you suddenly felt a wave of inexplicable panic and palpitations. It was as if something was hiding in your blind spot, watching you. No matter how you turned your head, you couldn't detect it. You could only feel it approaching, closer and closer, until it finally climbed up your back... Your thinking began to slow, your consciousness blurred. You could faintly hear the shouts of Xiao Huohuo and the others, but they soon faded.
KP: When you regained consciousness, Han Buli, you found yourself still in the courtyard, but suddenly surrounded by a dozen unfamiliar men. They were dressed in black uniforms, ranging in age from thirty to sixty, and appeared to be officials in the imperial court. Standing in the clean and tidy courtyard, these ten or so men wore expressions of shared hatred for the enemy. And you, standing directly in front of them, in a red uniform, hands behind your back, seemed to be their leader.
Han Buli: I traveled through time again? My soul?
KP: It can be considered as soul traveling, but I cannot move.
Han Buli: I see. It’s a first-person perspective, right? Then I can just relax and watch the show.
KP: So, seeing that everyone was present, you raised your hand to signal for silence, and then began to speak.
"You": I'm sure you've all guessed the reason for secretly gathering everyone here tonight... That's right! After all these years of joint efforts, we've already obtained sufficient evidence. All we need to do is wait until tomorrow morning's court session to expose the true evil face of Imperial Preceptor Zhao Wuji to the Emperor and the entire world!
KP: When you spoke, there was a low cheer from the crowd.
Official A: Great, great! I've finally been waiting for this day!
Official B: That evil Taoist Zhao Wuji! Under the pretext of saving the world, he plunged Tianmu City into this dark underground, and even used sorcery to deceive the Emperor and the common people. He truly deserves death!
Official C: That's right. That guy shamelessly changed the Tianmu calendar to the Wuji calendar. Does he really think that my Tianmu Kingdom is his property? This is simply outrageous!
Official Ding: Lord Li's loyalty to the country is witnessed by heaven and earth, and he deserves to be enshrined in the Taimiao!
Xiao Huohuo: (pinching nose) I think we mentioned the 514th year of the Wuji calendar before, which means this happened more than 500 years ago?
KP: Yes.
Han Buli: It is true that I have witnessed history.
KP: So, looking at the excitement of everyone in the field who shared a common hatred for the enemy, "you" took a deep breath, and your tone became more passionate.
"You": Okay! Now that the evidence is solid, all you have to do is wait for me to face Zhao Wuji in court tomorrow! ...This time, even if we die, we will fight for a future for Tianmu City!
Official A: Well said! Fight for a future!
Official B: Sir Li, we all support you!
KP: And just then, a somewhat inappropriate sneer was heard.
A familiar voice: How ridiculous! A mere insect, whose life is in danger every day, dares to talk about the future.
Official A: Who?!
KP: The next second, a black shadow flashed into the field. After seeing its appearance clearly, there was a burst of exclamations in the field.
Official A: Zhao Wuji——!
Snapped!
KP: Just as the terrified and angry voices rang out, the man's body suddenly exploded into countless bloody fragments, splattering all over the faces and bodies of those around him. Zhao Wuji flicked his hand, as if he had just swatted a disturbing mosquito. This bloody scene instantly plunged everyone present into panic.
Official B: Zhao, Zhao Wuji! How dare you kill an official appointed by the imperial court? What is your punishment?
Snapped!
KP: Another figure exploded, Zhao Wuji looked calm and composed.
Zhao Wuji: You gathered late at night with the intention of rebellion. Tomorrow, everyone in the city will know the cause of your death.
KP: Zhao Wuji's remarks, which easily decided the life and death of everyone on the scene, also aroused the bloodiness of many officials.
Official C: Zhao Wuji, you are so unlucky! I will fight you...
Zhao Wuji: Noisy.
Snapped!
Official Ding: Zhao Wuji, you will not die well!
Snapped!
Official Wu: Your Excellency, I'm the one who tipped you off...
Snapped!
KP: As Zhao Wuji casually slapped his palm, the originally clean courtyard instantly turned into a hell of flesh and blood. Amid the screams that continued to ring out and then abruptly stopped, looking at Zhao Wuji standing like a devil among the corpses of his colleagues, "you" couldn't help but tremble, perhaps with fear, perhaps with anger.
KP: After clearing out the "miscellaneous soldiers", Zhao Wuji walked towards "you", the leader, with a disdainful sneer on his face.
Zhao Wuji: Foolish insect, your so-called evidence is not even as good as an ant trying to shake a tree. Let me tell you, even the emperor who you think is above everyone else is nothing more than a stray dog crawling at my feet, trying to survive.
"You": Zhao Wuji... You won't be able to remain so proud forever! As long as your evil deeds are made known to the world, the flames of resistance will not be extinguished. Sooner or later, a capable and righteous person will emerge and bring you down!
Zhao Wuji: Is this your last words?
KP: Perhaps realizing that you could not escape, you took a deep breath, the trembling of your body stopped, and your tone became firm.
"You": Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Your evil ways consume hundreds of lives every year to sustain. If this were exposed, the people would be in chaos! You fabricated this lie of salvation and controlled the Emperor, isn't it just to conceal the truth and buy long-term stability?
Zhao Wuji: ...(slightly frowned)
"You": Zhao Wuji, even if you kill us today, the resistance will not stop! Your methods can deal with most people, but definitely not everyone!
Zhao Wuji: ...So what? Bugs are just bugs. To me, one bug, a hundred bugs, or even ten thousand bugs can all be killed with a snap of my fingers. What's the difference?
KP: Hearing this, “you” suddenly couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Zhao Wuji: What are you laughing at?
"You": Hahaha, Zhao Wuji, let me tell you a fact!
"Bugs... have never been truly defeated!"
Zhao Wuji: ...
KP: There was a brief silence, and then the final crackle.
Your vision suddenly soared into the air, then fell powerlessly. Then, Han Buli, you gradually separated from the dead body, floating in mid-air, witnessing everything that happened from a third-party perspective.
Zhao Wuji: Stupid... extremely stupid.
KP: After slaughtering everyone in the courtyard, Zhao Wuji activated his talisman to burn all the bodies present, then floated away from the courtyard. However, he had no idea that amidst the burning flesh and blood, a mangled body had "come alive" under the stimulation of the flames. It then struggled to pull something out of its arms and threw it into a nearby well.

First update.
Chapter 160: Next Time (Sand of Time, Part 8)
KP: A familiar shout came from your ears, and Han Buli shuddered, finally escaping from that bloody "dream". Then, you found yourself back in the dilapidated courtyard. Xiao Huohuo and others were looking at you with worry. A cool breeze blew, and you couldn't help shivering, and then you found that your body was soaked with cold sweat.
Xiao Huohuo: Not worried.
Sha: What's wrong with you? You look so bad.
Han Buli: (He signals to Lao Xiao with his eyes that there is something in the well)
Xiao Huohuo: (Got it, let’s talk about it after Xiaosha leaves) Xiaosha, don’t worry, he has always been timid, and he was probably scared by what you said before.
KP:?
Sha: Well, you seem to be really scared... How about we change places?
Han Buli: No, no, it’s fine here, I’m fine.
Sha: Okay then.
KP: Seeing your insistence, Han Buli, Sha said nothing more. He pushed open the old door and let you in. Compared to the bleakness outside, the room showed more signs of activity. It looked like they were all left by Sha.
Sha: I've been coming here since I was seven. This is my secret base! You guys stay here, and no one should find you anytime soon.
Jeanne d'Arc: Safe House Get.
KP: So, after confirming safety, Sha, relieved, became interested and began the question-and-answer session. Clearly, she'd accumulated a plethora of questions over the past five years, and now, unleashing them all at once, it was a bit overwhelming.
Xiao Huohuo: Emmm, anyway, I’ll go back if I can, and just ignore the part about time travel.
KP: You've learned the art of speaking.
Xiao Huohuo: Lao Luo is here!
Romeo: Talk, 19/60, success.
KP: So, Romeo answered all of Sha's questions with his superb rhetoric. After the excitement of the reunion gradually faded, Sha also thought of something and showed an apologetic expression.
Sha: It's all my fault. I wanted to introduce you to my father, but I didn't expect that my father would lock me up immediately after hearing the news and also notify the imperial master immediately.
Joan of Arc: (touches head) Haha, after all, Xiaosha, you were only ten years old at that time. It’s normal for you to not think of these things. We won’t blame you.
KP: Jeanne stood on tiptoe and managed to touch Sha's hair.
Jeanne: Byd, don't ruin my mood! (annoyed)
Xiao Huohuo: Happy.
Sha: Well, I won't make such a mistake again! ...So, are you still planning to deal with the Imperial Master when you come back this time?
Xiao Huohuo: That’s right. He tricked us last time. This time he is in the open and we are in the dark. We must develop well and then we can give him a big blow!
Romeo: Give him a big one!
KP: Seeing your determined expressions, Sha nodded solemnly and then clenched his pink and white fists.
Sha: Then you guys just hide here for the time being. I’ll come over every day. Just tell me if you need anything. I fully support you!
Joan of Arc: Little Sister Sha is so nice. (Tears)
Romeo: His eyes are waving.
Joan of Arc: Damn!
Xiao Huohuo: Speaking of KP, is it true that no matter how long we stay in Tianmu City, real time will remain stagnant? (Pinching nose)
KP: Yes.
