Chapter 1779 A New World!
Chapter 1779 A New World!
In the grayish-white space, everything was silent.
&Quot;
&Quot; Mo Yi " raised his head and laughed with a mocking and proud look on his face, as if everything had been set in stone and the human race in front of him could only be manipulated by him!
However, the next moment, her face suddenly froze, accompanied by an unspeakable pain that spread all over her body like an electric shock. Her expression was extremely shocked and confused.
Then, she had no time to think ...
After an unknown period of time, the absurd and chaotic cultivation finally ended.
&Quot; mo Xiao "'s eyes rolled up, and her cherry-like mouth was wide open. Her pink and fragrant tongue stuck out because she was too thirsty, forming an abnormal smile ...
"Ding dong! Your Yang Qi has been replenished ..."
"Ding dong! The system will now begin cultivating [ spirit vision ] for you ..."
The system's notification suddenly rang out. PEI Ling once again threw mo Xiao to the side, then formed a simple spell and activated the [ spirit eye technique ].
His eyes lit up and lit up the entire courtyard.
"Ding dong! This cultivation has been completed. Thank you, host, for using the intelligent cultivation system. With one click of the button, you can ascend without worry! Please give me a five-star rating if you are satisfied ..."
Following the system's notification, PEI Ling regained control of his body.
He immediately looked at 'Mo Yi', but immortal spectral soul in her body seemed to have yet to come back to her senses.
PEI Ling took a step forward and instantly appeared beside "Mo Yi." He hugged her and asked in an anxious tone,"Senior 'mo Xiao', are you alright?"
&Quot; shua ... Shua shua ... Shua ... &Quot;
'Mo Yi' was still smiling like she had not had enough. When she heard PEI Ling's voice, she suddenly reacted and a wisp of thick black smoke that was almost tangible escaped from her body.
It was a female immortal with long black hair and a tall robe, wearing a shirt with narrow sleeves and short daggers. Her pale face was filled with panic, the beads on her hair were shaking rapidly, but she quickly left without looking back.
PEI Ling was already prepared. This was the time when this female immortal spectral soul was at her weakest, so as long as he made a move, there was a high chance of capturing her, but ...
As his thoughts turned like lightning, PEI Ling immediately retracted his gaze and looked at "mo Xiao," saying in a calm voice,"Senior Mo Yi, don't worry. I'll treat your injuries now!"
With that, he pressed one hand against Mo Yi's back, and his celestial energy surged into Mo Yi's body to help her recover her breath.
Black smoke rose up as immortal spectral soul left in a hurry.'Mo Yi' quickly regained her senses, her face was red as blood, and there was an unprecedented sense of loss in her expression.
He had actually cultivated with a junior twice ...
Moreover, it was under the circumstances where both sides were forced to ...
When he thought about how PEI Ling already had a Dao companion and had a close relationship with Kong ye, as well as being entangled with several of su zhentian's juniors ...
However, just now, she had followed the other party and messed around ...
'Mo Xiao' felt extremely guilty for a moment, but more than that, she felt a strange and special feeling that she had never felt before ...
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly felt a cold and sinister aura enter her body ...
The next moment,'mo Xiao' lost control of her body once again. She turned around and struck PEI Ling's chest with her palm.
Bang! Bang!
PEI Ling was not surprised at all and immediately fell to the ground, unable to withstand a single blow. His expression was furious as he angrily rebuked, " "The netherworld race!"
"What are you guys trying to do!"
'Mo Xiao' sneered coldly and strode forward. She tore off the clothes that PEI Ling had just put on and said in a menacing tone, " "What do you want to do? Hehehe ..."
"Human!"
"Now you're afraid?"
"What I'm going to do is what immortal official 'Yu Xi' and sister 'Cai Rong' did just now!"
"I'll let you experience the dark torture again!"
"Your nightmare has just begun!"
"Cairong ..."
PEI Ling immediately knew that this was the name of that female immortal spectral soul.
Hmm ...
"Dance,""Fei Qian,""Cai Rong ..." There were already three female Immortals from the spirit race who had personally tortured him.
Let's see what kind of Zi ... Er, methods this fourth female immortal, spectral soul, will use!
As he was rapidly thinking, PEI Ling suppressed the wild joy in his heart and pretended to be very shocked."The netherworld race!"
&Quot; you ... You actually thought of such a cruel torture method! &Quot;
"I ... I'm not afraid!"
"Even if two or three of you come in at once ... And torture me, I'm not afraid ..."
Two or three sisters coming in at once?
Right!
Why did they torture each other one by one?
After he left, he would tell the sisters in line behind him that he could bring in a few more people from the same clan!
They had already frightened this human to this extent by torturing him one by one. If there were a few more of their kind, the other party would be better off dead before they even started the torture!
Thinking of this, this female immortal spectral soul made her move, and another indescribable feeling spread throughout 'Mo Yi's' body.
While attacking PEI Ling, immortal spectral soul spoke arrogantly: " "This is the torture method that immortal official 'Jia Qian' came up with!"
&Quot; immortal official 'Fei Xi' is an immortal official in charge of executioners in Ying city. Her methods are brutal and she's an expert in torture. Her attainment in 'torture' is beyond the imagination of you weak and stupid human beings! &Quot;
"It's normal for you to be afraid now."
"No living being can remain calm under the punishment of immortal official 'Fei Xi'. .."
Immortal executioner?
PEI Ling was slightly startled, but he quickly reacted.
The netherworld race's torture ... Was indeed very powerful!
He had no power to resist now ...
After confirming that some of his yang energy had been sucked away once again, PEI Ling naturally muttered in his heart, " "System, I want to cultivate. [ spirit vision ] ..."
???
Ying city.
City Lord's mansion.
The main hall.
Her dress fluttered, and the gray mist spread out like a gauze curtain.
Pairs of black eyes flickered with anticipation and malice as they lined up in front of the gray-white door.
At this moment, many female Immortals were looking at 'Fei Qian', asking humbly: "Immortal official 'Fei Qian', is there anything I need to pay attention to during the execution?"
&Quot; immortal official, may I ask how we can make that human feel a fear more terrible than death to the greatest extent? "
"Immortal official, how did that human beg for mercy in pain just now? When he begs for mercy, what should I do to give him a greater blow and despair?"
"I wonder if immortal official has any other means to torture that human ..."
Listening to these sincere questions,'ye Qian's' expression was calm and full of certainty. She had a look of experience and had really used all kinds of torture on PEI Ling.
Facing the gazes of many of his kind, he said indifferently, " "The punishment I've suggested to the mayor is very simple. There's nothing to pay attention to."
"Don't be nervous, just play as you normally do."
"It's very simple to make that human feel fear."
&Quot; just follow my method and carry out the execution according to the rules ... &Quot;
&Quot; as for the human's begging for mercy, it's nothing. &Quot;
"He just kneeled in front of me and kowtowed desperately for mercy, begging for death but unable to fulfill it."
"I've already seen through the weaknesses of these living beings. There's nothing new about them."
"There are many ways to torture that human ..."
Just as he was speaking, a shadow floated out from the gray-white door. Her dress was slightly messy, her hair was fluffy, her eyes were a little straight, and a strange Crimson color appeared on her pale and clear face.
This female immortal spectral soul was Cai Rong, who had entered the lifeless realm to be executed after Fei Qian.
At this moment, her expression was flustered, but as soon as she appeared in the main hall, she looked at the Black Mass of her clansmen in front of her, as well as immortal official Fei Xi, and quickly regained her calm.
No!
The city Lord and immortal official Fei Xi had already personally tortured that human.
On the other hand, he had been wantonly enjoyed by the human, and even a lot of his Yin Qi had been absorbed by the human ...
This matter must not be known to any of the same race!
Otherwise, wouldn't she, Cai Rong, be ridiculed by her own race for the rest of her life?
Thinking of this, Cai Rong immediately pretended to be calm and said,"I've already used torture."
&Quot; that human has been tortured by me to the point where he's spouting nonsense. He's starting to say something crazy. &Quot;
"However, the rest of you don't have to worry. I've left him alive."
&Quot; the torture methods described by immortal official Fei Xi are exquisite and completely hit the human's weakness. He's now in a state worse than death! &Quot;
Hearing this, all of the female Immortals perked up.
At this moment, spectral soul, who was at the front of the line, immediately smiled and said, " "Thank you, sister Cairong, thank you immortal official caixi. It's fortunate that the city Lord is wise to use such torture."
"Otherwise, how can we dispel the hatred in our hearts!"
&Quot; I'm the fourth one. It's my turn now! &Quot;
As he spoke, he immediately walked into the gray-white door impatiently.
Cairong very naturally walked to stand beside the immortal official Fei Xi. The two of them had calm expressions on their faces, pretending that they were very happy with the torture just now.
At the same time, they were sizing each other up, but they didn't see any flaws in the other party ...
Therefore, they were even more afraid to speak of their true experiences ...
Perhaps it was because they were bored of waiting, the female Immortals waiting in line started to discuss the torture: "Other than absorbing the Yang Qi from that human, I plan to skin him and make a new lampshade ..."
&Quot; I want to record a complete video of the torture and show it to those foolish and rude living people. I want them to know that my Ying city is not a place where they can act wildly! &Quot;
"Not bad! How can my netherworld race be disrespected ..."
"In the next netherworld meet, you can bring this human along. When the time comes, we'll torture this human in public and intimidate all the other races ..."
Listening to these female Immortals "happy discussion, immortal official" Fei Xi "and" Cai Rong "didn't have any intention to interrupt, they didn't say a word.
After a while, a familiar figure walked out of the grey-white door. Her pearl hairpin was slightly slanted and almost fell off. Her expression was also very unnatural, but just like Cai Rong, she immediately adjusted her expression and returned to normal the moment she stepped into the hall.
This female immortal spectral soul glanced at immortal official Fei Xi and Cai Rong and saw that the two of them were calm and did not show any signs of abnormality. Their lips were slightly curved, showing a trace of a smile after venting their anger, as if they were very satisfied with the torture they had done before ...
This female immortal spectral soul who had just come out was extremely flustered.
He quickly realized that he was the only one who had been taken advantage of by that human. Not only had he not absorbed any Yang Qi, but he had also been refined into ...
Thinking quickly, this female immortal spectral soul quickly calmed down. This matter was too humiliating, she could not let anyone from her race know!
Therefore, he immediately said with a calm expression, " "That human is very afraid of the torture of immortal official 'Jia Xi',"
"However, he's already starting to get used to us going in one by one to torture him."
&Quot; I think we can send two, or even three people in at the same time to torture him ... &Quot;
&Quot; when the time comes, I'll be able to enjoy his terrified and desperate expression. &Quot;
Hearing this, many of the female Immortals in the queue showed expressions of realization and satisfaction.
They could not wait any longer.
Especially those spectral soul female Immortals at the back, they immediately agreed: " "Sister 'Mu Zi's suggestion is very good!"
"Next, we should go in three by three to torture them."
"This way, I can let that human experience what despair is ...."
The female Immortals at the front of the line did not have any objections.
Their purpose was to make the stupid and arrogant human suffer as much pain as possible!
Whether or not he would be tortured alone was not the main point!
Thus, the three spectral soul female Immortals at the front immediately nodded: " "Alright!"
"Let's follow sister Mu Zi's suggestion."
As they spoke, they immediately stepped through the gray-white door ...
After a while, the three female Immortals walked out in a daze, their clothes in a mess. Their chests were still rising and falling, and their hair was slightly messy, as if they had just experienced an intense battle.
As soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw the sisters still waiting in line staring at them, and the three of them quickly returned to normal.
"The torture this time is very satisfying!" They immediately said.
&Quot; that human was tortured by us until he was better off dead. &Quot;
"However, his adaptability is indeed very strong. Next, we can send five of them in at once. At that time, he will be even more desperate and on the verge of collapse ..."
Hearing this, the queue of female immortal spectral soul revealed smug smiles.
So many of his kind had been tortured in one go ... That human must have been tortured to the point where he was no longer human!
Thinking of this, the female immortal spectral soul in the queue nodded: " "Thank you, three Big Sisters."
"We'll do that later!"
As they spoke, five more female Immortals in the front line impatiently entered the grey-white door ...
Time slowly passed, and five of the female Immortals who had finished torturing came out from the door. Immediately after, five more female Immortals who were eager to try entered the lifeless realm ...
Batch after batch, they took turns to enter the [ lifeless realm ] and torture that human who didn't know his place.
All the female Immortals who had finished torturing came out with strange expressions, showing some panic.
But very quickly, he regained his composure and acted as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, they were very enthusiastic about sharing their experience and knowledge with female immortal spectral soul who had not tried it before. It was as if they were really ruthless and had tortured that human ...
Gradually, more and more female immortal spectral soul tortured him, and the hall became quieter and quieter ...
???
In the wilderness.
The night sky was dark, and the Blood Moon was high in the sky.
As the Scarlet blood splattered, the Emperor essence that was covered in golden threads became sparse.
The entire mountain was filled with lush vegetation, and the unique fresh aura of the mountain forest was so rich that it was almost tangible.
Near the boundary of Yu Yuan.
Flames burst out in the sky and scattered the blood-red moonlight.
Splash ... The water flowed and roared, shaking the void.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread out in all directions under the night sky, and the black storm quietly dissipated.
The torrential water force filled the sky and covered the entire sky.
The raging sea was raging, and the stormy waves swallowed everything within ten thousand miles.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the huge water curtain. There was a blazing fire dancing fiercely like the rise of the sun. The brilliant fire instantly burned down the vast blue waves and rose with a bang!
The Grand Sun primordial fire was like an extremely sharp sword, forcibly cutting a big hole. The fire burned the water, illuminating Half the Sky in an instant.
However, in the blink of an eye, the true fire's momentum quickly shrank.
Huala ... Huala ...
The sound of water was so loud that it soon drowned all the true fire.
The last cluster of primordial fire was completely pushed into the bottom of the water, turning into a touch of red and gold radiance. Like ink, it spread out in the water.
The dragon's head poked out from the clouds, its white brows and beard falling like a waterfall. The Dragon turtle's four legs were like pillars, standing alone in the sky. Its pitch-black eyes were filled with vicissitudes as it calmly looked at the hole in the water curtain that had been forcibly opened.
The little golden Crow had escaped ...
Mission accomplished!
His goal wasn't to kill the little golden Crow.
After all, he would not do anything that went against the heavenly order.
Furthermore, the Dragon Empress had told him that the little golden Crow would be the eldest princess's opponent in the future.
Even without the restraints of the heavenly order, he could not take the other party's life ...
Now that the little golden Crow had been severely injured by him, it would be a profound lesson for him!
The dragon clan's dignity, the nobility of a true Dragon's descendant, would not allow any clan to provoke them!
As he thought of this, the majestic water curtain suddenly exploded. In the sky, it was as if a huge flower had bloomed.
Thousands of smoke waves turned into majestic dark clouds, which then split apart and drifted to all the places in the world that needed rain ...
The huge dragon's head disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
???
In the wilderness.
The waterfall hung on the wall, enshrouding the peak.
The empty Valley rumbled unceasingly, and the echoes were like the tide.
On the shore of the deep pool, the pebbles that had been polished smooth by the water for countless years were piled up.
The surrounding grass and trees were quiet, and a few long and twisted shadows quietly fell between the pebbles.
It was a leopard-like creature with two horns on its neck and four feet like Phoenix claws. Its entire body was covered in pus and blood, and the stench was strong. There was a viscous liquid that slid down its wrinkled muscles. When it dripped onto the pebbles, it made a soft hissing sound and white smoke rose, covering its huge body.
Not far away from him was a huge butterfly. On the butterfly's wings, there were many eyes. Each eye was bloodshot and filled with fear and hatred.
The giant butterfly was surrounded by smoke and dust. Under the blood-colored moonlight, it gave off a blurry radiance, which was strange and weird.
There was another shadow standing on the ground like a piece of paper, as if the main body had left long ago and only the shadow was left. The shadow kept twisting and shaking without a moment of rest. It was as if countless tiny insects had gathered together. At any time, it would scatter like a torrent, fall into the cracks of the pebbles, and disappear.
These three figures all exuded an aura of coldness, depravity, chaos, and evil.
These were three remnant Immortals!
At this moment, they were very close to each other, but they had no intention of fighting each other. They only bathed themselves in the Crimson red and looked up at the Blood Moon in the sky.
In the waterfall above the deep pool, there was also a huge figure.
It was like a pool of water grass, rooted in the waterfall. Its leaves rustled and hung upside down with the flow of the water.
At this moment, the dense branches and leaves were like claws, firmly holding a few huge Water Tribe members. The slender but tough branches were stabbed into the bodies of the water Tribe members, but no blood flowed out.
Those branches were hollow, and the blood had already been absorbed before it could even flow out.
With the loss of blood, the bodies of these Water Tribe members deflated like balloons.
The branches and leaves swayed gently, but the cold, evil, and brutal aura on them grew stronger.
All of a sudden, all of the immortals froze.
The next moment, they all followed their natural instincts and moved quickly!
The leopard-type immortal leaped up and disappeared into the night like a bolt of lightning. The giant butterfly flapped its wings and released a cloud of dust that covered the entire Valley. Countless plants withered and lost their vitality. The giant butterfly disappeared. The shadow flickered slightly, and like a pool of black water, it quickly flowed into the deep pool, like a river flowing into the sea. In the blink of an eye, it became one with the water, and it was difficult to distinguish it from the rest.
Above the waterfall, the remnant immortal who was sucking the blood and flesh of the water Tribe also threw down the half-eaten blood and flesh. All the branches and leaves curled up into a ball and were absorbed into the mud.
Bubbles of various sizes quickly appeared on the surface of the water, accompanied by muddy sand.
Soon, there was only a huge hole left in the ground. The crippled immortal, who looked like a huge seaweed, had already escaped.
For a moment, the wind and water stopped, and everything was silent.
All the powerful living beings fled in a flash. The entire world was as silent as death.
At this moment, a majestic heat wave suddenly descended!
Countless plants, waterfalls, lakes, and rivers ... Were all turned into ashes in an instant!
The rolling dust floated in the air and fell like a heavy rain.
In just the blink of an eye, the valley that had been full of verdant and lush grass just a moment ago had turned into a scorching desert that was barren.
A graceful figure with golden hair, golden eyes, and a golden robe suddenly appeared!
Her golden hair was like the radiance of the sun, covering her delicate face. There was a golden rune between her eyebrows, emitting a vast heat. Dan Xu's face was as calm as water, and his breath was in disorder. A " drip " sound came from behind him. The Golden robe on the back of his back was torn, revealing a hideous wound that ran diagonally through it.
The cold air that was like ten thousand years old ice condensed in the wound, and the Golden blood was constantly frozen, flowing to his limbs and bones.
Danxi's originally smooth skin was now turning light blue. This was a sign that her Dao body was being eroded!
She immediately sat down cross-legged and circulated her immortal energy to quickly heal her injuries.
"Cough, cough, cough ..."
As soon as the immortal energy was activated, Danxi couldn't help but cough violently. Then, with a "WA" sound, she spat out a mouthful of blue blood.
There was a cluster of golden true fire dancing in the blood, but it was clearly mixed with Azure ice.
She furrowed her brows and her face was full of anger. That old turtle!
He had to take revenge!
There wasn't much time left until daybreak. Once the day came, he would immediately go back and take revenge!
Even if he couldn't kill the other party, he had to directly flip open the turtle shell that the other party was relying on!
Just as he was thinking about it, Danxi suddenly noticed something and immediately raised her head, looking at the entrance of the valley in the distance. Her voice was cold and full of anger,"I don't want to waste my time on ants now."
"Get lost immediately!"
"Otherwise, die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, human figures walked out from the shadows at the entrance of the valley in the distance.
These humans were all wearing plain clothes and holding all kinds of weapons. Their faces were covered with black scarves and their heads were wrapped with black cloth. Only their hands and eyes were exposed.
They were all different in height, weight, and temperament, but they all gave living beings a sense of perfection and flawlessness.
These figures were all at the 81st tribulation of the human race!
The eyes of the many Grand ascendants were calm and they looked at Danxi without any emotions. As they advanced, although they did not form an orderly formation or have a loud aura, there was a will that had been tempered thousands of times. Like an invisible force, it burst out from every human's body and gathered into a sharp blade, pointing at Danxi from a distance!
This kind of will transcended the gap between the cultivation of the race and the gap between immortal and mortal. It was like a mid-stream rock, indestructible and sharp!
Step, step, step ...
With steady steps, these human race's Dacheng realm experts had already surrounded Danxi.
As they walked, formation patterns and cloud banners ... Lit up and flickered in the entire Valley, in the sky, and on the ground.
Countless seals, weakening, curses ... All sorts of powers were activated.
In the blink of an eye, this originally ordinary Valley had been set up with an inescapable net, blocking all of Danxi's escape routes from all directions.
Then, clusters of purple and red flowers bloomed in the yellow sand.
Even the Grand SUN TRUE FIRE could not damage it at all.
A graceful figure walked out from the crowd.
The figure was wearing a bamboo hat, and the wide brim of the hat had a Black Veil hanging down, covering her face like smoke. Like the other human beings, she wore simple, unornamented clothes, and her whole body, even her hands, were firmly hidden in a pair of leather gloves.
There was also a layer of smoke that covered it, making it blurry, as if it was just a silhouette in a dream.
There were no spells, divine powers, immortal techniques, or methods ... However, for some reason, when it appeared, everything in the world seemed to dim.
She was like a towering Snow Mountain covered by clouds and mist in the sky. Even in this life, it was difficult to climb to the peak and see her true appearance. However, she could make living beings worship her and give her all the Holy, lofty, ethereal, and magnificent imaginations. She was also like the endless clouds in the sky. Even though she was far away from the living beings who looked up to her, she was still brilliant and dazzling. She was also like the vast blue waves under the moonlight. The ocean was deep and surging. It was impossible to see anything at the bottom of the water, nor did she know the scenery in the distance. However, she carried countless beautiful fantasies and hopes.
A peerless beauty!
Unparalleled in the world!
Even though they were unable to see the true appearance of this cloth-clothed woman, all living beings could not help but offer all words of praise from the bottom of their hearts, all praises for beauty, in front of her skirt!
Even the Golden crow's Grand SUN TRUE FIRE and the hundred Flowers that were unafraid of true fire paled in comparison.
The woman in plain clothes walked out of the crowd calmly. The aura around her fluttered and was ethereal like the flowing smoke and clouds. She was clearly a powerful true immortal!
Seeing this lady, the usually arrogant Danxi showed a rare trace of surprise. After she reacted, her face immediately sank and she angrily shouted, " &Quot; the food immortal has achieved Dao and violated the heavenly order! &Quot;
The lady's eyes were calm. Her black and white eyes were like obsidian soaked in the purest snow water. She had a kind of otherworldly beauty. She slowly opened her mouth and her voice was clear and refreshing,"I've already become an immortal, so I'm naturally a part of the heavenly Dao,"
"Since it's the heavenly Dao, it's equal."
"I just ate whatever I wanted to eat,"
&Quot; therefore, it's not that I disobeyed the heavenly order, but the heavenly order disobeyed me. &Quot;
&Quot; by the same logic, all living things are equal even if they are born in the world. &Quot;
"Although there are strong and weak ones among us, there is no hierarchy."
&Quot; but now, the ten suns are in the sky, sweeping across the world and incinerating countless living beings. They are above all living beings. This is unfair, unfair, and unfair! &Quot;
"The great sun is brilliant, illuminating ten thousand li."
"Just leave one round of duties, don't need too many!"
"Now, I'll give you two options."
&Quot; first, to become the only sun in the New World. &Quot;
"Second, die!"
Hearing this, dan Xi immediately knew that from the moment she started fighting the dragon turtle, she had already caught the attention of these humans!
However, she was born as an immortal, noble and powerful. She traveled through the sky and destroyed all living things with a single wing. She had never paid attention to these ants that shuttled under the grass and trees, hiding their heads and showing their tails.
Therefore, even when he had noticed that he was being watched by the human race, he had been used to subconsciously ignoring it.
However, she didn't expect that these weak and lowly humans would actually dare to attack her!
Moreover, the leader of the human race was a fallen immortal with an extremely deep foundation!
With this in mind, dan Xi stood up and stopped healing.
Her face was frosty and her golden eyes were burning with anger, " "Stop dreaming!"
"A mere incarnation dares to talk big?"
"If you want to kill me, then show me your strength!"
The plain-clothed woman shook her head slightly and said indifferently, " "What a pity ..."
In the next moment, the hair and sleeves of all the 81 tribulations Mahayana realm cultivators moved without the wind, and their auras instantly soared. An ethereal and lofty sense overflowed from their bodies and souls. All of them entered the immortal realm in an instant!
"[ Heaven Seal of the same Law ]!"
