Earth-escape

Story context

This chapter slams the accelerator on a triple-conflict collision: Li Huowang’s desperate mission to capture a Fa Sect leader gets hijacked by bureaucracy, his bond with Li Sui takes a horrifying turn toward physical merger, and a high-tier enemy pulls a runner via a mountain that just *shouldn’t be there*. Trust me, fellow Daoists, there’s nothing more frustrating than having the perfect torture kit all laid out and watching the Office’s bean-counters steal your prisoner for bureaucratic processing—with a side of your daughter trying to assimilate your entire nervous system. Get ready for a chapter that weaponizes the most infuriating feeling in the world: having the right tool, the right plan, and absolutely no backup from your so-called allies.

Why it matters

Get ready for some serious frustration, readers. This chapter doesn’t give you a cathartic interrogation scene—it *withholds* it. Li Huowang has the tool, the skill, and the motive, but the system says no. If you’re here for pure murder-porn, you’ll have to wait. The real prize here is psychological: Li Huowang’s relationship with *the Office* shifts from tenuous alliance to open irritation, but more importantly, his relationship with Li Sui takes a terrifying step forward. That minor revelation at the end—the tentacles stuck—is a *huge* red flag. Li Sui isn’t just a cute parasite anymore; she’s an entity that, under pressure, tries to merge completely with her host. And her father? He’s starting to suspect that even the body he has isn’t fully his. Keep an eye on the mountain, too. If a character named *Taishan* runs into a mountain, you know it’s going to come up again.
