Chapter 40

To be honest, in front of Xuanyuan Yulong, Lin Hao always felt no different from an infant. The majestic aura radiating from Xuanyuan Yulong, without any conscious effort, commanded deep awe and reverence.

Di Chong could not help feeling a surge of excitement; it seemed his aptitude was of the medium grade with three attributes. Full of anticipation, he cast his gaze toward the Foundation Establishment stage supervisor who appeared to be around sixty years old.

Eventually, when the League of Legends sought sponsorship partners across major global cities and regions, these sponsors responded one after another.

Ziying seemed to want to comprehend the power that had just attacked him, but he discovered that once that force struck him, it vanished without a trace, leaving no clues behind.

Fortunately, this casino had already verified Lin Hao's identity; otherwise, even with Meng Cheng bringing him along, he would not have been qualified to enter. Being blocked at the doors would have caused him to lose a tremendous amount of face.

Upon hearing the monk's complaints, Xiao Yu quietly turned his head to look at Daoist Wuchen and Elder Xinghe, only to find the two of them exchanging glances as well. It seemed that among those who had entered this place, not a single one was easy to deal with.

Watching Xiaoyan run out of the hospital ward with intense anxiety mixed with joy, I, unable to move at all, could only let out a silent sigh. The happier Xiaoyan was, the more painful my heart became—a profound and agonizing pain. Soft-hearted and sentimental as I was, I could not harden my heart nor remain indifferent in the face of Xiaoyan, who had sacrificed and given me so much.

"This..." Wan He found himself in a rather difficult position. In his view, Pei Xingyan was certainly no match for Zhu Muwu. Yet if a fight broke out and Zhu Muwu failed to hold back his strength and ended up injuring Pei Xingyan, it would be genuinely difficult for him to explain things to Pei Renji.

Killing this person right now might be simple, but the aftermath would undoubtedly bring endless trouble. Although he had his own backing and was not afraid of the other party seeking revenge, should it provoke a war between the two sects, the situation would spiral out of control.

Seeing this, the leader of the demon clan hurriedly rallied a few men to give chase, while ordering four others to remain and continue attacking the Suppress-Demon Stone. As it happened, Di Chong was among those left behind.

Chu Lian cast a glance at Nanny Gui, who promptly handed over the red envelopes prepared well in advance to the two nannies, while Chu Lian expressed her gratitude for their blessings.

To avoid any appearance of bias and fearing that Qing Yue might suspect him of securing advantages beforehand, Shi Quan let Qing Yue go ahead first.

Then he asked old York about the current conditions of Youyun Residence, such as personnel allocation and defensive measures.

Wang Hou cupped his fists in return: "So it is Sect Master Bai. Congratulations on entering the top nine as well. If you hadn't met my eldest brother this morning, your ranking would have been even higher." Wang Hou's words were correct; Sect Master Bai's Profound Ice Sword was a divine artifact, yet it encountered the even more mystical Fallen Sun Mace. The opposing forces of cold and heat restrained each other, and in the end, Zhu Ziping prevailed.

Before long, someone indeed approached. However, unlike the two individuals from Japan, the newcomers arrived by boat.

Viscount Wesken had anticipated that De-Heisi would utter some irrelevant nonsense, but he never expected him to state the facts with such clarity.

"So everything we are doing now, and everything we are about to do, is merely a way of constantly reminding ourselves—do not despair, do not despair, is that all?" Confusion flickered deep within Tayang's eyes.

Meng Youran pulled Chi Yaorao along in front, picking and choosing as they walked, picking up one item only to put down another. After scouring an entire section, they had barely selected two items, while Li Wanyao dutifully pushed the shopping cart behind them without a single word of complaint.

"Fine. Today, out of respect for you, I won't argue with him. Tell him to get lost, immediately." Chen Jiu waved his hand and turned around. At that very moment, his retreating figure appeared somewhat aged.

As for the dozens of other somewhat lesser bigwigs who had not yet managed to harmonize yin and yang, they felt even more nauseated. It was like having a dead fly placed right in front of them—they had not yet begun to eat, yet they were forced to do so nonetheless.

Xia Wei let out a sigh, evidently holding little hope about whether the culprit could be found by tomorrow.

"Alright." Aunt Han lived right next door. Gazing at the courtyard of Fu Fangfang's house merely thirty meters away, she too wondered inwardly who it could possibly be.

For Ye Yun discovered that within the giant's eyes, clarity had almost completely vanished, replaced instead by an uncontainable, surging aura of bloodlust.

For some unknown reason, as Yi Xiaoyao watched this scene, a sense of inner comfort mingled with an increasingly intense wave of guilt.

When the sky began to grow faintly bright, the Elder Council finally finished making arrangements. Wuying then led these people to the side hall to rest for a while before preparing to welcome the upcoming Elder Assembly.

He was well aware that this sword was known as the Soul-Destruction Sword, possessing very special attributes; the attacks it unleashed carried the power to afflict the soul.

Almost simultaneously with this You clan member's warning, Song Ming struck once again, driving the You Ghost Blade with chilling murderous intent toward a four-step Gao Lu You clan member who was approaching him.

As the words fell, the fatty felt the entire flying car shudder, followed by the familiar sensations of acceleration and liftoff washing over him.

Furthermore, Chu Yan was certain that the relationship between this Emperor You Tianwu and the Heaven-Swallowing Pagoda was by no means simple.

Beside them, seeing that Tang He entered the formation completely unscathed—and that a formation which had remained without issue for a hundred years had suddenly failed at this very moment—Liang Tong's lingering sense of foreboding grew stronger and stronger.

This remark frightened the creature so much that it scurried far away. It seemed its intelligence was quite high—its cleverness was almost on par with Tian Mo's.

Although this mission was arduous, for Song Ming, who had fully inherited the legacy of the ancient ruins, it was no difficult task. With a slight shift of his mind, Sima Xiaoya and Lin Cheng appeared before him.

In terms of architectural style, it had a somewhat classical Greek feel. The guards' uniforms looked very high-end, their skin was exceptionally smooth, and their demeanor was remarkably leisurely and calm—completely devoid of the stiffness characteristic of people from Earth.

What gave Wei Jie an even greater headache was that Yan Mengmeng had not returned with them. This meant that Xie An still regarded Yan Mengmeng as a trump card to use against Wei Jie. The only question was: when would he play this hidden hand?

Wei Jie instantly felt a sense of disappointment. Money was a wonderful thing, but in these troubled times, buying equipment with money was no easy task. Meanwhile, Wang Gong beside him wore an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed. The place where the commando soldiers were hiding remained as peaceful as ever. Yet Wei Jie knew in his heart that this rare tranquility had likely reached its end, and the current calm was merely the precursor to an impending storm.

Because the operating system of the Rose mobile phone was developed with his personal participation, it could be said that its basic programming design drew inspiration from the Symbian system of the Nokia Group. However, Nokia proved entirely lacking in tolerance and capacity.
