Now that they had returned, nourished by the supreme elixir, everything within them had recovered. Naturally, they also remembered what had happened and understood the circumstances.

Having finished speaking, Lu Haotian rose to his feet. He had never intended to waste time sitting here in a meeting. Instead, he issued his orders directly and returned to his office to continue monitoring the situation. That morning alone, he had already invested money several times. From the looks of things, matters were becoming rather serious.

So they were siblings. I had thought they were a couple. I do not know why, but I felt slightly relieved.

Although Yang Daman issued threats, he understood the gravity of taking a human life and did not dare to kill Dahua. Besides, if he truly beat the developer to death or left him gravely injured, the money he had lent would be lost forever, with no hope of recovering it.

Mo Kaichen brought them to an ordinary cold-drink shop. After Baby ordered two servings of chilled desserts for the children, he sat quietly and watched them eat.

Given the situation, do I even have room to refuse? If he could sneak into my room, then he could certainly subdue me. Although our home is on the first floor, the main door is always locked. How did he get in without a key?

“Being wild isn’t something I do for you to watch. You have no right.”

I clenched my fists and told myself not to resist. The more I fought back, the more excited he became.

Everyone within the Kunpeng Nest had their cultivation restricted to the Spirit Transformation Realm, so the level of combat was likewise limited. But the moment they ventured outside, they would face the most terrifying battles imaginable.

Thor said that being without a weapon made him feel extremely insecure. He had to find one that suited him.

“Second Sister says so…”

Li Danruo’s heart ached, but she could think of nothing to say in consolation. She could only echo Li Yujú’s words. Li Jinrui lifted her cup, lowered her head, and began concentrating on her tea.

Lin Yi’s voice rang like a great bell, and his face was as murderous as a god of slaughter. The instant the word “three” left his lips, he seized Inoue Gen by the throat with one hand and lifted him from the ground, holding him suspended in midair. Yet his hand was no longer gripping Inoue Gen’s windpipe—it had closed around most of his neck.

He had not yet survived the heavenly tribulation, yet he had already received the blessings of Heaven ahead of time. Even Ma Qingfeng could not help but envy such fortune.

She asked with utmost seriousness. Li Weny an froze for a moment, never expecting her to raise such a question—and he had never considered it himself.

Suddenly, the points of light filling the sky streamed toward Mu Chen like a hundred boats racing with the current. Before he had time to react, countless rays had already shot into his body.

As his thoughts settled, his mind suddenly surged with reflections. Sorrowful bitterness filled his dazed consciousness, wave after wave washing over his heavy heart.

The Iron Wolf Mercenary Corps also held a meeting. Its members naturally included the Three Wolves and Four Tigers, Iron Wolf himself, and several trusted subordinates.

Feng Xuanyu had been sitting opposite with his eyes closed, regulating his breathing. When he heard Luo Qian’er call for the bill, he opened his eyes and followed her out of the restaurant.

Li Weny an watched with gritted teeth, his dazzling eyes radiating a sinister, dazzling light—dangerous and bewitching.

“Could it be that Divine Doctor Lin never told you about these matters?” Xia Songren asked in astonishment.

The main conference room of North Wu International was enormous—so large that it felt almost empty. At its center stood a long, imposing marble conference table with a floral pattern. More than twenty chairs could be arranged along its two sides. Aside from a projector and sound equipment, there was virtually no unnecessary decoration. The simplicity made the room feel almost bleak.

When the old duke was ordered to wage war in the north, he took twenty thousand elite soldiers from the kingdom with him. Now, Albert had little more than ten thousand aged and weakened troops at his disposal.

The treasured sword seemed to absorb energy and let out a deep hum. With the sword in his right hand, Gui Yu suddenly drew it back, then thrust it toward one of the four coffins at the front.

“Boom!”

The entire cavern shook violently. The bronze sword pierced straight through one of the coffins. The shattered coffin exploded, sending splinters of wood flying in every direction.

In the past, whenever Xiao Guo used the Rift Seal to imprison space, he still had to form the hand seal. Now he no longer needed to. He could cast it casually, because the moment he unleashed the technique, the seal had already taken shape within his heart. This was one of the advantages of attaining a higher level of cultivation.

But his wife had gone so many years without bearing him a child. In our village, there was a custom: if you lacked something, you had to kill someone who possessed it, and then you would receive that person’s blessing and obtain what you desired. Since Wang Zicheng wanted a child, he had to kill someone else’s child.

At that moment, souls continued drifting toward the place. Every one of them shouted and cursed, claiming that all the souls had been secretly absorbed and insisting that the person responsible for stealing and devouring them be captured.

At the heart of Tianshun City stood the vast and magnificent City Lord’s Manor. In the darkness, it resembled a primordial beast crouching in wait, its enormous jaws gaping as though it were silently awaiting the arrival of its enemy.

He was already Duke Balot. It was time for him to accomplish something worthwhile and realize the value of his life.

“Whoosh!”

The two vine-shield warriors worked together with extraordinary precision. Their two cleavers sealed off Chen Sheng’s vital points from above and below. Judging by their movements, they were clearly not mere brutes relying on strength; they were warriors trained in martial arts.

Without betraying the slightest emotion, he swiftly walked toward the indifferent young man. At the same time, the indifferent young man was walking toward Wang Feng. The two approached one another slowly, neither attracting the notice of those around them.

After a brief explosion, the golden lightning figure remained utterly motionless. The lightning around its body was unchanged, passing directly through the point where it touched the Blood Demon Puppet.

Many things in this world were unreasonable and overbearing, like hard objects forcibly stuffed into one’s skull. When all that hateful turmoil churned your brains, you still had no choice but to maintain what was called composure as best you could, then search for a way to break the deadlock.

Pan Yuhong followed Yu Qiaoyue. Whenever Yu Qiaoyue recited a line, he recited it as well. By the time they had finished chanting the Heart-Calming Formula once, Pan Yuhong had memorized it completely. Yu Qiaoyue stopped reciting and let him continue on his own.

Oh, come on. We are all children who were never wanted, discarded scrap metal, broken parts abandoned in the countryside.

She knew that she had caused a terrible disaster this time, and her heart trembled with fear. If anything happened to Tangtang, Lan Xin felt that there would be no reason for her to go on living.

The bomb had been planted while the other side was massacring civilians. It had been placed all the way from the rear of the carriage to the front. Its hiding place was extremely well concealed, and Que had rightly assumed that the foolish little girl would never discover it.
