Volume 1, Chapter 45: The Favor Returned, We Are Even Now
Walking side by side along the bustling commercial street, Xu Hai and Bai Xiaotong drew countless ardent gazes. Many of these looks were filled with utter astonishment, as if the onlookers had witnessed something exceedingly rare in this world.
Upon entering Hubei, the martial arts world was already as turbulent as a boiling cauldron, erupting, steaming, and impossible to suppress.
Liu Suifeng was ruthless and renowned throughout the martial arts realm. Anyone who knew of the Power Gang knew there was such a vicious figure within it—serving simultaneously as a strategist, an assassin, and a talent recruiter. No one in the rivers and lakes did not fear him.
With great excitement, he opened the box to be greeted by a waft of fragrance. Inside lay a Blue Enchantress rose, and pressed beneath it was a note, clearly left with a message for him.
The Lord of the Elemental Temple looked at Gao Zhen with a grave expression. After a long silence, he let out a long breath and slowly spoke once more.
Yet the cargo on these thirty-odd carriages did not amount to half of the count's estate as Jiang Rankong had previously demanded; on the contrary, it was considerably less, clearly showing that the other party was playing tricks.
Unlike all the other elders, the First Elder, though looking far from well, did not display the same shock as the rest. Instead, he remained remarkably calm. This was the primary reason he could hold the position of First Elder: no matter the circumstances, he could keep his composure. If even he lost his cool, the Valley of the God of War would truly be in grave danger.
Abruptly, the Fuxi Four-Image Cauldron trembled inexplicably once again, and the mysterious power enveloping it suddenly turned unstable for reasons unknown. Seeing this, Chen Luo did not hesitate and prepared to enter the Fuxi Four-Image Cauldron.
Mo Wentian's figure jerked, and the violet Qi entwined around his body exploded abruptly. Beneath the firmament, the sea of purple instantly encompassed all things, accompanied by rolling Sanskrit chants. With a loud bang, the Great Sun Law enveloping him shattered instantly. Mo Wentian broke through the void once more, leaving both Gu Luo and Qi Xingyuan vomiting blood.
Huang Xin's initial identity was that of Huo Xiangkong. Now, having obtained a spiritual ID card, she naturally took on the role of the company's head. However, it was necessary to inform her business partner, Bingbing, about this development.
"Fine, I'll do my best." Eastern Depot Ye suddenly remembered that dealing with a god simply required shattering their Divine Core, and everything would be settled. The prerequisite, however, was being able to pierce through a god's protective aura and defensive skills.
Chen Feng took it and looked. The map of a mountain peak was densely marked, far more detailed than the one he had bought in Dali. Clearly, Yun Potian had put a great deal of thought into it.
Hearing this, those holding the treasure chests immediately turned pale, while Zhang Sanfeng and the others furrowed their brows, hesitation flashing in their eyes.
Lilith was still making efforts to obtain the key from Kaxiu, but this time she changed her approach. Instead of using force, she hoped to persuade Kaxiu with earnest truth.
Just as a king was about to nod, an older sea-tribe king resembling a turtle held him back.
A rare trace of pleasant surprise surfaced on Chen Feng's face as he looked up at Xiong Ba. This surprise was half feigned and half genuine, as he truly had not expected such a massive benefit.
"Hah, old man, have another match with me." Leng Feixuan, who had been unable to speak this whole time, finally regained her voice.
This martial art was immensely fierce and forceful, consisting of thirty-six routine variations, falling not a bit short of Xiao He's Broken Sword Art.
Liu Tian shook his head and turned away. Venting his anger on these people was useless; the crux of the problem was that Xinlan disliked accepting help from others.
Martial Arts Practice Ground: Slightly increases the speed of practicing external martial arts. Can be upgraded to a Training Room. Upgrade cost: 10,000 taels of silver.
Upon seeing that the old master actually allowed the guests below to propose conditions, a sense of foreboding washed over me, because I knew these people would inevitably start hooting and suggesting restricted-level conditions.
Just as I was driven to a desperate plight by those Miao shaman sorcerers and thought I was finished, a grey shadow rushed in front of me, accompanied by the sound of a cat's meow.
Seeing that Guan Haotian and Wang Jiaming had indeed sent people to cause trouble for us, it would be much easier for me to find an opportunity to take Ye Rong and escape shortly.
Shen Linfeng sat at the dining table, watching me meticulously stewing soup with a look that suggested he desperately wanted to laugh, though he managed to hold it in. When I walked back, he pulled me over and made me sit on his lap. I was very light, so he didn't feel any strain at all.
Moreover, Tu Hao was going to fight this battle in front of the entire universe. With Beli having departed, the Galactic Federation needed a new strategic deterrent, and Tu Hao naturally had to shoulder that responsibility.
Through Chen Xiaoran's tone, Cen Yin caught an unsettling possibility, but even as this unease arose, she despairingly discovered that her body was already harboring a trace of anticipation and longing.
A single palm strike repelled the ancient immortal, though it was not enough to take the opponent's life. This was well within Xiang Gangtian's calculations and came as no surprise. The very opportunity he wanted was precisely this: only by repelling one person could he launch an offensive against another.
After all, for the Scorpion Organization to remain active for so long and offend countless people without being exterminated stood to reason. Could they be wiped out just because their traces were discovered? Hou Aoshuang lacked that confidence; and because of this lack of confidence, she still wanted to enlist Chen Xiaoran's strength.
Just like that, Zhang Yang was chased away by Aunt Mei. Before leaving, he offered plenty of explanations to Aunt Mei, looking thoroughly terrified of her.
The so-called pursuit of fame across the endless starry domain meant sweeping away all opposition. As for right and wrong, good and evil, such concepts simply did not exist in the endless starry domain.
Xu Feng thought that this spaceship must also be a weapon, though its destructive power was bound to be astonishing. Xu Feng felt his horizons broadened.
The heritage Xu Yuan brought to Liuli was more than just solace from a family member and the confirmation that her grandfather was the legendary Mr. Lanqing; it also left her with countless unknown questions.
After a round of questioning by Lin's mother, Lin Feng was finally granted his release. Since it was still early and hadn't reached noon, he decided to type out a few chapters.
We drank heavily and all became drunk. Yaoyao kept tugging at my ear, shedding tears and murmuring something, while the others roared and sang. A heavy, oppressive atmosphere filled the room.
The fierce battle and tremendous commotion attracted the surrounding guards, but upon seeing the princes fighting among themselves, none dared to step forward.
Driven by the pulse hidden beneath everything, the world's progression was quietly accelerating. Only a tiny fraction of individuals situated at the very apex of the pyramid could perceive this change. Yet no one could foresee what these changes would bring; all existences could only act according to their own judgment.
