Volume 1, Chapter 32: Tang Lei Commits a Crime, Tang Yun Suffers the Consequences

When Jin Le unveiled this exquisite magical artifact, he roughly understood that there must be others behind it. It certainly wasn’t because Jin Le wanted his half of the Nine-Twist Creation Elixir.

Kyohei Kozo, relying on Yoshino’s speed and firepower, ordered to close the distance to about a thousand meters.

“Not bad, but luckily I met Anna,” Qin Ge said softly, glancing at Anna with a gentle look that soon turned slightly mischievous.

Having established good relations with the young master’s father was tantamount to befriending the young master himself. People were eager to curry favor with him and cared little about whether he deserved his position. Perhaps they even thought the position was unworthy of him, rather than the other way around.

If asked who Ren Pin Di dared not provoke for the rest of his life, Marisa Kirisame was always on that list. Any mention of Kirisame Masayuki from her lips would make Ren Pin Di uneasy for quite a while.

“So… cold,” she stammered, hugging herself and trembling as she approached Ren Pin Di. Her hair, wet and dripping, clung to her face, and the thin cloth she wore revealed a slender yet well-proportioned figure.

Ever since he learned that Mo Xing was actually Xiao Yimo, he constantly wished for Xiao Yimo’s return so they could recognize each other as uncle and nephew.

This saying was popular among the common folk, but was it truly an absolute truth?

Let’s treat this as a last resort. At least the vitality here was seven or eight times stronger than outside; if it was some kind of special plant species, perhaps something unexpected might occur.

His keen eyesight immediately identified those fifteen barbarians as members of the Ancient Barbarian tribe. Otherwise, their physical strength wouldn’t be so formidable. With just their fists, they had fought across the land, slaying over a thousand Death Guards in succession.

Today’s visit to the Ning residence by Chen Guoxun was worthwhile. In his eyes, no amount of effort or cost was too much, but some of the young men around him were resentful and even somewhat angry at Qin Chen’s conduct.

Elderly people loved to nag, while their children and grandchildren would respond absentmindedly, their minds long elsewhere.

Lei and his comrades had spent an entire night stealthily advancing to scout the Lion Headquarters, only reaching their target camp at six in the morning.

The old man put down the phone and gazed out the window at the bright sunshine illuminating the lively, peaceful city.

Gunshots rang out inside the house, screams followed. Several Yamaguchi-gumi gunmen who were hit couldn’t die immediately, collapsing on the ground and groaning in pain. Those near the door fired wildly while clutching walls and broken doorposts, crawling outside. In the chaos, stray bullets occasionally struck unlucky Yamaguchi-gumi members running about.

These sorcerers were not the main targets of the vengeful spirits. When they paused, a fifth-level vengeful spirit lunged at them. Its crimson eyes immediately turned toward several individuals bearing admission orders advancing toward the main door.

Swan didn’t glance at him again, nor did she respond. She simply turned and continued on her way. She had once thought everyone was a toad, but now she felt she had truly seen one, though she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

She trembled with fury, clenching her fists tightly. All the grievances in her heart transformed into hatred at this moment.

Although Lucien’s sarcastic tone was clearly ill-intentioned, he was undeniably right, and even the surrounding youths nodded in agreement.

The wheels rolled over accumulated snow quietly as the vehicle passed through the bustling streets. Soon after, those returning boarded planes and departed foreign lands.

“That’s right. Your intuition is correct. This is the flesh of a spirit beast, containing abundant spiritual energy, which greatly benefits your cultivation!” Ye Xiaoyao explained.

The further north they went, the colder the climate became. Yet the snow on the ground gradually lessened, revealing a barren expanse of desert. Upon entering the territory of the Khalkha Mongols, it was a dry desert with minimal rainfall, leaving no snow at all.

Some high officials frowned because the campaign against Xixi was originally scheduled for six years later but had suddenly been advanced, leaving the nation unprepared.

There was a hidden hand behind the scenes. Defeating Shen Weisheng was nothing; what he truly wanted was to ensure no one would dare lay a hand on his son in the future.

Ye Xiaoyao found it hard to believe. The two seemed evenly matched—could Watanabe Yuan have some other means?

“Hmph! Still pretending? Don’t you like her?” Zhao Yunfang said with a mocking smile.

Inside the Chu King’s mansion, officials from the Huguang Provincial Administration, the Censorate, and the Command Office gathered, hoping the king would provide funds.

Gao Fa’s roommate was forcibly discharged from the army, but he didn’t reveal Ouyang Lanlan’s involvement. She had only hinted a few things and hadn’t directly told him to report.

When Zhou Qingqing pushed open the door, she wondered why her father had asked to meet her here. After all, this was hardly a place ordinary families like theirs could enter.

Just as Xu Que’s thoughts settled, a white light appeared overhead, instantly tearing through the dimensional space.

As the helicopter descended slowly, a portly middle-aged man stepped down.

The watch’s hand circled twice—two minutes passed. Raising his hope to find a flaw, the approaching zombie’s head separated from its body, spinning twice in the air before crashing to the ground, shattering like a watermelon. Wu Yang used the gun’s tip to extract a crystal core, stored it away, then once again crossed his arms and leaned leisurely against the car door.

“Shut up! Do you all still have any semblance of a commander?” Cun Yunsheng glared, and the others quickly quieted down.

Her delicate face was covered with a veil thicker than Zhao Ningxue’s, revealing only a pairI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
