Volume One, Chapter 42: The Three Are Interviewed

Now that he had taken over the Beicang family, his foundation and bargaining power had increased considerably. If he managed to add the Guo family as well, his position would be unshakable. Lin Ruochu hurriedly shook off that hand and sat up straight. The man didn't respond—had he fallen asleep?

At the same time, Jin Zhuliu and Tian Xuanxue unleashed a dazzling attack. Within the overwhelming spear light, there was an unrivaled ferocity, like the talons of a predatory bird, intent on tearing Nie Tian apart in midair.

On the outermost edge, the German soldiers who were frantically fleeing suddenly felt as if they had stepped into water; the ground beneath their feet turned muddy and impassable.

I quickly took it in my hand and was stunned—this mirror showed no reflection. It was indeed an ancient bronze mirror, its surface polished bright enough to see oneself, yet now, nothing was visible.

“Alright, alright. I still have the second half of the test. I’ll leave this to you, uncle. I’ll try to get back before Anno wakes up!” Weiwei calculated the time, wondering if she could hand in her paper early.

However, from now on, the Japanese mainland would no longer be able to grow anything edible, and every product would have to undergo the strictest inspection. After all, no one knew what would happen if such a substance accumulated in the human body, and if it affected future generations, the consequences would be dire.

She wanted to scream, to go mad, to tear He Dongfeng’s mouth apart, but with He Dongyi by her side, she dared do nothing but speak.

“Huh.” Only now did Lin Youxi realize her ankle didn’t hurt as much. She moved it gently. There was still some pain, but it was bearable—much better than before, when the pain had brought her to tears.

“I wasn’t lying; it was indeed a young man who nonchalantly killed your people,” Jade Ruyi said, not daring to turn her head, only urging Jade Koi in her heart to run farther away.

He had heard that this was her first time sharing a bed with a man, and an irrepressible smile played at his lips. His mouth curled upward, and he couldn’t help but grin, revealing a row of gleaming white teeth.

Moments later, both of them heard a rumble, and before their eyes, the stone that Li Xin had stepped on earlier slowly moved aside.

Half an hour felt short, but to Rongrong and the others observing, it seemed like centuries. The technique was so swift, it was impossible not only to understand, but even to remember.

“You really know how to comfort people. Go on, what do you want?” Lei smiled at Wang Peng.

One method was to provide money. The other was to have a virtuous monk use his reputation. A renowned monk could preach and attract countless pilgrims. Wherever such monks stayed, they were genuinely welcomed—other temples would be glad if they never left.

The ragdoll hit the ground and laughed, the sound sharp and eerie, and with it, the surroundings grew colder.

In the night sky, a graceful figure traversed the air atop a sword, landing steadily between Chen Yuan and Sima Chaofeng.

Sang Ruo gave her thanks, but the shaman Ke didn’t even look up, maintaining her distant and unapproachable demeanor.

“I don’t know any martial arts, just brute strength. As for breaking that guy’s leg… well, maybe he was just too frail. People with calcium deficiency have brittle bones,” Qin Chen replied.

“Brother Yang, just go along with us! The Buddha will forgive you!” Shi Yi also thought Lu Tong’s solution might actually work.

“Mr. Chen, if you trust the imperial army, we could assign people to train your troops. What do you think?” William suggested.

The entire crowd was silent for just a few seconds before erupting again. Cheers echoed through Yanglin High School, louder and more enthusiastic than ever before.

Leng Jianfeng took Lan Bing’er’s jade pendant and set off up the mountain. Though he felt inexplicably puzzled, he cherished every opportunity he was given. After about two hours, he finally reached the summit.

As soon as his words fell, a gigantic dragon-shaped light appeared behind him. Gold, silver, and blue energies converged on his right arm, and a blue divine dragon let out a mighty roar, piercing straight through the man’s body.

Inside the iron cage were two figures, both disheveled and filthy, their bodies covered with wounds and thick scabs of dried blood.

“This is an unprecedented war deployment. It’s truly exhilarating,” Vice Chief of Staff Guang Yexun said sincerely.

Above, Xia Ruoxi’s eyes were blood-red. Even facing Protector Xia Yan, she showed no fear. A chilling gleam flashed in her eyes as she unleashed a series of hand seals, shattering Xia Yan’s Violet Flame technique and even injuring him with the residual force, causing him to spit up pus and blood, no longer daring to act rashly.

“I am Wang Tao. As for my sect, for certain reasons I cannot reveal it. I hope you’ll understand,” Wang Tao replied.

Meanwhile, the Yin-Yang clone returned to guard the area; Dong Zhanyun deliberately kept the Shadow Cloud Eagle, the zombie minions, and the Mothers of Nine Springs and Nether Spring from appearing.
