Chapter 39

"By the way, what exactly did you get yourself into? Why the rush to run away?" Raphael had been keeping a low profile and was unaware of the two people Gu Yan had killed.

Lou Anchen went to his room and collapsed onto the bed. An hour later, as he had expected, there was a knock at the door. Elder Mo and several other clan elders filed into his room one after another. The man reclining on the couch cast a glance at them and remarked, "Have you all come to my room while sleepwalking?" It was a blatant, barefaced lie.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot sign this contract." Facing the arrogant middle-aged man, Old Guo tossed the contract back into the trash bin, completely unfazed by the threatening glares of the two men in suits.

What was even worse was that just as he was sent flying by the overwhelming aura, Hayata had already caught up at high speed, riding his mount.

Just as Mo Ren and Zou Mo were about to intervene, Zhu Pingman soared into the air. With a roar, he unleashed a flurry of strikes—it was the Dragon-Slaying Fierce Light Blade created by Zhili Yi years ago.

"Alright, just make sure not to practice any techniques these next few days so the wounds don't reopen," Liuxiang said as she packed away her supplies.

The old man's expression shifted, his eyes filled with terror; it seemed the shadows cast by his enemies had truly traumatized him.

"Heaven, if I could see him one more time, I would give up everything I have!" Looking up at the sky, Liu Fei seemed to be hoping for something, though it was merely a wish. He would never return; in that distant kingdom of heaven, fine rain wove a tapestry of sorrow.

Just as he crouched down, intending to admire the view for a moment, Su Hanyao spotted him, shattering his plans.

"Come in." When Bai Feng saw him arrive, he didn't show the slightest hint of surprise and even took the initiative to invite Bai Qian inside.

Before long, Chu Yunfeng had digested the information brought by Ziyuan and agreed to the terms set by the Saltwater Guild.

Sniping usually refers to the use of specialized sniper rifles. Some people might use standard rifles to perform a shot, but no one had ever heard of using a machine gun for sniping.

Wei Liyun took Wei Limo to the room where wine was being brewed. In her current state, it was truly inconvenient to take her away tonight.

"There is no need." As these words fell, an old man with crane-like hair and a youthful complexion appeared before the crowd.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhuge Wen was a member of the Zhuge clan and had submitted a petition pleading for the Dong family, he might have brought disaster upon himself.

This method was recorded in the Scroll of Qi Condensation and required at least the ninth level of Qi Condensation for a cultivator. Lin Hao was only able to barely execute it because his spiritual power had been enhanced previously in the Five Dragon Valley.

"Lord Yang, you can't put it that way. If I go, my sincerity will be shown, and the Boss will be moved." He Qiaoyi chased after them, rushing forward directly from the back of the line.

Although this was a mining site, it still had the necessities. To show his sincerity, Hang Shuang had his subordinates prepare hot water.

Just as Nie Feng drove the Hades One to the entrance of the temple, a sudden earth-shaking tremor occurred, as if a magnitude-ten earthquake had struck. The temple above began to sway, and countless giant boulders started falling, crashing down toward the Hades One.

But to everyone's surprise, after the Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi merged with the original essence left behind after the death of Yuanshi Tianzun, it transformed into the Eight-Rank World-Purifying Green Lotus. This wasn't just a windfall; it was a treasure fallen from the heavens.

The dean snatched the whistle from the referee and blew it. The sound was piercing—one could only guess how much force he had used—and both sides stopped, staring at the group of faculty members.

Hearing Manager Zhang's words, Zheng Tianhe's eyes widened in even greater shock. He had once had the fortune to cooperate with those two families; how could they possibly be coming together now to destroy the Zheng Group?

Locke clasped his hands in front of him and crouched down—the holy aura around him suddenly began to retract into his body.

"Let's go." Feng Li led the thin-lipped man away, a flash of viciousness appearing in his eyes. The grudge, naturally, had been established.

Yang Cong snapped his fingers, and immediately, objects began to fall from the previously clear sky.

"Fight, then. Fight. The smarter you are, the fiercer you clash. Only by sharpening your teeth against each other will you be able to bite through your opponent's throat. Hmm, those grudges are yours, and the enemies hate you, not me. It has nothing to do with me."

Immortal pills and spiritual medicines often have the best effect the first time they are consumed; the more one consumes of the same type, the more the medicinal efficacy diminishes. In modern terms, one develops a tolerance.

Tasha was truly a top-tier talent in internal affairs; her summary reports were perfectly balanced, with clear priorities. I held a bowl of clear porridge, unable to bring myself to drink it for a long time, just lingering over the scent was enough to satisfy me.

A single letter did not mean that Si Nanlin had dispelled his suspicions. He hadn't appeared in the Eastern Hua imperial palace for three years because he was waiting.

When Jia Min returned to Suzhou, the Prince of Yan sent a detachment of one hundred soldiers to protect her. Everyone understood that since Jia Min was the biological mother of the Prince of Yan's heir and was herself a member of the imperial family, it was reasonable for the Prince of Yan to attach such importance to her, though it still incited envy among the prominent families in Jinling.

"Speak! It is absolutely safe here! In the entire Rongguo Mansion, only I know of this place's existence!" Jia Daishan sat down first on one side of the Arhat bed and pointed to the seat opposite for Jia Min to sit.

"Sister, I'll go help you wash the vegetables." With that, the Nanrong Yanshan sisters went into the kitchen, leaving only Bai Yijian and Artoria in the hall.

Su Jian hesitated for a moment. She didn't tell Lin Feng immediately; after all, revealing such things wasn't exactly a good thing for her.

Since Chen Li was with Zhang Haoran at the moment, he decided to take a car back to Shangdu and go to Luo Rongmin's house to chat.

The next day, Chen Ying feigned a stomachache at school, asked for leave from her teacher, and left. Once she left school, she didn't go home at all but headed straight for Su Jian's entertainment company.
