Shen Shuli first scouted the retreat route and set traps along the way. Now that the group had dispersed, she couldn’t constantly check if enemies were pursuing from behind. She deliberately placed traps on the only path they would take. Anyone who passed through would trigger a signal flare. Within a radius of twenty miles, she could see the signal and respond promptly.

Returning to the camp, this time Jiang Bei had contacted Uncle Luo’s elderly father on Shadow Island, who was more than willing to help, which explained the earlier scene. Li Xianyun had invested in controlling other holographic imaging companies; even if Cloudtop ever declined, the companies controlled by Li Xianyun would still be the ones capable of defeating them.

Mingquan first went to see Liang Mingyang, gave him a brief report on the situation at the Changyuan City Planning and Design Institute, and then returned to his own office. Jiang Shouzhen noticed this as well. After a moment of silence, he reluctantly agreed.

Because the oyster mushroom yield at the experimental base was excellent, Section Chief Sun gained more influence at the seed station. Tang Wanrong shook her sleeves and was about to get up, but that meant lifting her skirt and moving to the bedside to put on her shoes.

However, if this wine bottle came from some scoundrel named Huo Qubing, then everything made sense.

Unexpectedly, the Great Toad Immortal had not fallen into slumber but remained fully conscious.

The Business Department Two was responsible for large-screen advertising. Currently, the main attraction in Ghost City was holographic ghosts. Since the holographic equipment was there, simply projecting ghosts would be wasteful, so advertisements were also accepted.

“If you’re tired, just rest, but don’t overwork yourself,” Chi Beiyan advised.

Xia Wuji obediently followed orders, lifted Taoist Yuyuan, quickly moved from the living room to the backyard, and then entered the underground chamber.

There seemed to be some mysterious power at play, yet whenever he wanted to let her go, it stirred her anger anew.

Upon hearing that Xia Wuji was at Jianmen—and learning that he was now the sect master of Jianmen and the strongest immortal lord of the age—everyone came to Jianmen, requesting to join.

Instantly, all the students let out a wail, sensing the teachers’ hostile intentions once again.

Meng Chao imagined many scenes, but seeing Han Xue's lips already turning purplish, he understood that there was no more time to waste.

Mi Anxian was so anxious that she immediately returned the call to Elder Pei, informing him of the situation and urging him to find Pei Yatong, who was unsafe outside, as soon as possible.

“Commander, it was that fellow Huqielu,” Basihan recounted what he had seen, emphasizing Huqielu’s outward enthusiasm but venomous gaze.

He then produced many spirit stones; without exception, the moment they touched his body, they were all absorbed and refined into pure spiritual energy, converging in his dantian.

It seemed that a few days ago, hungry at night, he made instant noodles. Everything went smoothly until he washed the bowl; his hands were wet, the bowl large, and thus the noodle bowl met its demise on the spot.

Lin Yumeng was overjoyed, withdrew the deathly aura, searched the ancient immortal’s belongings, and then the Five-Colored Divine Dragon appeared, swallowing the corpses and transforming them into immortal energy flowing into Lin Yumeng’s dantian. Seeing the rich immortal energy, Lin Yumeng was delighted—her fortune had arrived.

“Alright!” Li Xi took a deep breath. At this moment, she could not and would not let Xiao Yunfei become distracted or faint and cough up blood again. For the man before her, Li Xi could not bear to let him suffer further.

Before long, the Yellow River’s waters surged turbulently, and from afar, a bamboo raft was seen speeding upstream against the wild waves.
