30 The Rupture

"Alright then, if you're jealous, sister, I won't go," Xing Yue said with a look of feigned sincerity.

Some began to wail, others roared, and some gritted their teeth so hard their lips bled. Yet, not a single one chose to give up; despite the wailing and roaring, they all persisted.

"I will arrange for people to sell the Divine Smoke in the major cities. All the supplies will come from you, priced at three spirit pearls per barrel. How does that sound?" Mo Mo asked.

Wang Dong knew this was his last chance to inspire everyone. If he himself showed signs of failure, where would they find the confidence to keep going?

"Don't worry about who I am. Let us both go, and we will hand Zhang Chenshou over to you. Otherwise, I'll kill him!" Xing Guang didn't care whether Dong Xufeng was a friend or foe; he simply had to gain control of Zhang Chenshou first.

"While I believe in immortals, I do not subscribe to Yi Weidong’s theory of divine descent. His doctrine is too defeatist. We cannot entrust our fate to so-called external immortals; we should cultivate our own immortals to grasp our future! That is what I’m about to discuss: applying science to tactics."

"I have already had people retrieve portraits of the three from the Prefect's office and sent all the disciples out with them. We’ve finally caught a lead; it wasn't easy." Suddenly, a voice rang out. The group looked over to see that it was Ji Feichen.

"The truck owner has been identified. His surname is Qian, his name is Qian Bao. He bought the truck just two months ago, and it bears license plates from a neighboring province." Hua Xuechun's voice came through the phone. Wang Dong acknowledged her and hung up.

"Fifth Sister, isn't it a bit unreasonable to arrange for ten Daoist cultivators to spar with Mo Mo at once?" Tang Yin, seeing that her three brothers remained silent, felt compelled to stand up for Mo Mo.

At this moment, the noise in the room was so loud that no one heard Liu Kun's screams.

Most importantly, he wanted to find a balance in the script—a way for the story to pass censorship without compromising the plot or the narrative.

However, upon hearing Lin Fan’s words, the crowd around them couldn't help but burst into uproarious laughter.

It was left to him by the Master of Xuanyuan years ago, along with the instruction that if he could tame the beast, it would protect the land. If it could not be tamed, as long as it did not harm anyone, it was to be left to slumber in the river outside the tower. But if it ever harmed a life, the beast's fate would rest in his hands.

"Does its mother agree with you doing this?" Yi Huiman asked, unable to suppress her curiosity. She reached out to stroke Bai Qiong’s head. Bai Qiong initially wanted to dodge, but seeing its master’s sharp, boastful gaze, it consciously stayed still.

Ghosts in the human realm gradually dissipate. Even in Fengdu City, one can only slow the process, but eventually, they will vanish completely.

The messages were all answered by A-Jin. Finally, it mentioned that A-Huang had staked out land to build a sect. Since the layout of the protective formation required gathering and channeling the five elemental spirit sources, he cordially invited Brother Ting and Brother Run to assist and enjoy a visit, promising a light drink and an experience they wouldn't regret.

Ye Yaotiao’s eyes widened suddenly. It dawned on her that they had been together for so long, yet they had never seen a movie together. The feeling was wonderful, almost like being in love.

"Damn it, I actually teleported straight into the Ice Queen's bed? This is too bizarre, isn't it?" Fanchen thought to himself, genuinely shocked.

"If we haven't found it by now, perhaps the monks at Golden Light Temple really didn't steal it." Sha Wanjing looked around. There were signs of searching everywhere; she hadn't missed a single spot.

"Die!" Zixuan didn't mince words and struck a palm toward Xin'er. A intense aura of ice and snow condensed before Xin'er, instantly turning the snacks in her hands into a block of ice.

However, after scanning the surroundings once more, Chuixue helplessly gave up the idea of continuing the search. Perhaps it really had been her imagination.

It was a sure goal. The goalkeeper, De Sanctis, had no time to dive, but the defender Guevara kicked the ball away right on the goal line.

"Alright, dismissed, dismissed!" Seeing this, Lin Qiao immediately waved for them to disperse.

Everything before her was a blur. The hair on Ye Cang’s exposed back stood on end. An intense sense of crisis permeated the air around her. As she lost her visual senses, she felt as if a ravenous beast was watching her fragile body, ready to pounce and devour her at any moment.

The blood-red world shattered into fragments, and Yeyue Chong returned to the reality. Yet, no sooner had he returned than he saw a crimson crystal kunai shooting toward him, though it landed in the dirt just in front of him.

Is there anything in a mobile game that can't be solved by spending money?

Before they even entered the village, they heard strings of firecrackers, accompanied by the clamor of gongs and drums and the sounds of laughter and joy.

About a thousand miles from Xuanpu Mountain, at Qingchuan Mountain, a team—a troop so dazzling it was hard to take in—seemed to be flowing toward them.

Ever since Huangfu Song lost his post, Dong Zhuo, who had been tasked with overseeing the army, was riding high. Not only did he move grandiosely into the most luxurious mansion in the city, but he even seized the county magistrate's beautiful concubine.

I twisted open the mineral water, shoved the medicine into my mouth, and gulped down the water. The massive amount of pills surged down with the flow—nearly 200 of them in total—swallowed in one go. This sight made Huang Mao smile with satisfaction, and he couldn't help but clap his hands.

Looking up, Hao Xin realized Zhu Jun had already walked quite a distance away. Ignoring his doubts, he hurried to catch up.
