Volume 1, Chapter 46: Handling Mr. Zong & The Ugly Appearance of Trying Every Possible Means

“Emails?” Ryan felt a pang of regret. Why hadn’t he thought to check his emails earlier? Had he kept up with them regularly, he might have gained a deeper understanding of the Accelerated World long ago.

“Then, what should we do with the captured Ming soldiers?” Sooksa, fearing that Emperor Huang Taiji might change his mind, hurriedly asked.

“Fool!” The elder cursed, swiftly moving to the strange rock. With a gesture of his empty hand, he reached out to take it down.

Father Bi Fangji was an honest, kind man who clearly understood sales less than Thomas Wang. Moreover, Thomas’s knowledge of mechanics and physics solved many production issues, which was why Yang Bo was willing to pay a hefty price to keep him.

In fact, Old Master Qi knew why Zheng Wanru had come to Yanjing. The family elder of the Zhengs had already written to him, explaining that the intelligence network list might have been stolen by Lin Tian. Hence, Zheng Wanru was sent undercover close to Lin Tian, waiting for an opportunity to retrieve the stolen list.

Of course, having obtained the essence of the laws, this trip was by no means in vain. Even if no further gains were made, it was still worthwhile.

“Qingqing!” Beneath the golden battle robe, Ji Qingyue softly called out. Immediately, she formed a hand seal. The fiery phoenix circling overhead descended with breathtaking momentum, diving down and radiating intense heat that all present could feel.

“Reporting to the Marshal: for some unknown reason, the enemy suddenly opened the city gates but did not send out their general to confront us. The vanguard commander requests instructions on how to proceed with the attack.” A dispatched soldier reported to Nangong Ao.

Watching the scenes on television, countless viewers widened their eyes in surprise. It turned out that those incendiary bombs had already been used before. Naturally, they wanted to see the true destructive power of these weapons.

“I find it strange too!” Shirai Kuroko tilted her head, still showing traces of pain on her face as she shared her thoughts.

Xia Yi did not hold back with her. When danger struck, Ruozhi could react swiftly, but he could not. He was the brain; Ruozhi, the hands and feet. If the limbs faltered, the brain could find a way to save them. But if the brain was injured, the limbs were lost.

Sharp gazes followed one after another. If looks could be turned into blades, she would be riddled with holes by now.

Just as Li Xiao had thought yesterday, as long as he kept plowing for a long enough time, the trending topic would continue indefinitely.

Under the tutelage of Dragon Elder and Snake Matron, Meng Yiran’s combat skills were outstanding. She immediately grasped the situation, grit her silver teeth, and re-centered her strength during her forward lean. Once stable, she could launch an immediate counterattack.

Zhou Jing raised his head cautiously, straining to discern the situation while glancing toward the camp gate.

“Those who can enter Qingqiu City are no ordinary leopards; this is a leopard spirit. Silver Horn bound it with the Phantom Gold Rope, and Sun Xiao-Shu delivered a fatal blow with his spear.” Li Boyang commanded the battle from the rear.

Walking down the street, if you see an old grandmother fall and kindly help her up, she might still accuse you and demand compensation.

It was clear that Cuihua’s decision was made with great difficulty, likely not her true intention.

He was forced to listen in on a few conversations. From the voices next door, they seemed to be scholars from Taizhou discussing a courtesan—praising her as if she were unrivaled on earth or heaven.

Jia Nanyou recalled the early days when Xia Yi had yet to reveal his true abilities. Passing by the nanny’s quarters with Sun Xiangqing, he noticed her avoiding eye contact. He had thought she was growing distant from him, but now he realized she was actually looking toward the nanny’s room—where Xia Yi was.

Mu Lingtian stared at what Liu Ce held, pocketing the silver notes. Then, flipping through Liu Ce’s manuals, he confirmed their authenticity. With a forceful push, he threw several manuals into the air and followed up with a palm strike.

Actually, Yu Ruiyi could have decided on this matter himself, but since it involved a negotiation worth thirty million, he still needed to report it to his superiors, lest any problems arise and he bear full responsibility.

Among Du You’s friends, only a few from Seoul had chances to spend the festival with their parents. The rest planned to stay in the practice room all day, preferring to quietly improve their skills rather than envy others’ family reunions, striving to debut as soon as possible.

Although he didn’t want Ye Wushuang to know, it was bound to come out sooner or later. Telling Ye Wushuang now would prepare her mentally—and more importantly, she could assist Mu Lingtian.

Gan Linger and Zhong Kun finally relaxed. Judging from the signs exhibited by the burly men before them, it was clear that Dulan Grass had taken effect. Initially, they endured abdominal pain like knives twisting inside, which gradually turned into relentless diarrhea.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yu was stunned. He hadn’t expected that Chen Yang, whom he had underestimated, was an alchemist—one who could easily surpass the pinnacle of the Golden Core stage.

The bamboo forest at dawn was shrouded in a light mist; the fallen leaves on the ground were all dampened by a layer of dew.

This was the most perplexing aspect for the two of them: the other law was that of the Shadow Deity—an entity they had never heard of.

After all, both were Star Lords. Even if the other side was unfamiliar with the rules, lacking much cooperation, they could still easily preserve themselves.

Elsewhere, when Elder Yan heard the name “Gu Nan,” he finally realized whom he was offending.

I have been trying to draw more power from Daoist Duobao, but the pinnacle of the Five Desolations seems to be the limit. No, at this cultivation level, it is far from enough.
