Chapter 52

Once the stock market falls into chaos, some people will inevitably seize the opportunity to loot a burning house. There are still many individuals within the Gong family whom the old master cannot control. After all, with their immensely resilient and powerful state of mind tempered through the passage of time, they might feel sorrowful and grief-stricken over certain matters, but they would never pour out their grievances to anyone other than their own life partners.

Mu Fengyun chose to be more rational. Since Monarch Jiuyue and Qianxi's subordinates had such strong confidence in him, he also chose to believe that Xi'er would definitely be safe and sound.

As the master of a massive prison, he was nonetheless a formidable figure; even so, this injury was not quite enough to cause his immediate death.

This area was vast, extending directly across the entire imperial realm. No one had any clear idea of what this Emperor of Jin Merchants actually intended to do.

Prompted by this, Han Xin closed in until the distance between him and You Chen's face was less than a zhang, yet he still could not see clearly—completely unable to see clearly.

Along with his movement, a low chant came from Chen Hao's mouth: "Gold is never pure, and white jade always has slight flaws; in this world, there is originally no such thing as so-called perfection. Yet there is one sole exception, and that is the human heart."

She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then met Boyi's somewhat complicated gaze once again.

Boom! Four palms collided, triggering a deep, heavy explosion, and the fierce shockwave instantly swept across an area three zhang in radius.

Although Mingyue could not be said to fully understand Xuanyuan's meaning, she still firmly imprinted his words in her heart. Since Xuanyuan was stronger than her, it meant he was walking on the correct path—at least he had gone further and more rightly than she had. That being the case, his experience and warnings held immense value.

"Damn it, I think he's not only less than human, he's simply an animal. If the Snow Leopard's officers are all such perverts, then I quit," Chen Bo said, kicking away a fallen biscuit. With that, he prepared to climb up.

Even if his cultivation realm had not been beaten down, wanting to recover now would take him at least several years. In the Evil Lands, spending several years just to restore his cultivation would be extremely unfavorable for him.

"Dafei, you've changed. You've become someone I no longer recognize. If it were back then, I would firmly believe that you would rather be wronged and strip off your police uniform than commit an act that violates the bottom line of human principles. Have you forgotten the oath we swore together beneath the national flag?" Wang Feng looked at Meng Fei with a somewhat disappointed gaze.

"You really need me there?" Yadong always felt this term sounded somewhat strange, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why for the moment.

"Isn't there a police station near your place? Why aren't the police doing anything about it?" Wang Feng asked curiously. He figured he knew Director Wang's character well enough to know he was definitely not the type to sit idly by and ignore things.

"According to news transmitted back to the capital from the Sheng Yong Gate, Shi Miyuan has been secretly sending people to contact the Mongols some time ago, seemingly planning to ally with the Mongols to destroy the Jin dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, right now must be the moment the imperial court is drinking celebration wine," Fang Ning remarked at this point.

Later on, in a daze, he vaguely saw that within the halo of light, Xiao Hansu's body seemed to be changing slowly, yet it remained somewhat unclear and difficult to make out.

"I don't know. There's only an old beggar at home; who knows how he's getting along right now," Ye Bai replied.

Lirin laughed heartily and said, "Didn't I say so just a moment ago? How many times do you want me to repeat it? Even if the place is riddled with traps and mechanisms, it still can't stump me. Let's go; we've already finished looking at the murals, and we can save the rest for later." Having said that, Lirin actually left Zhang Lei behind and walked ahead on his own.

This was precisely the storefront of Howling Moon Valley in Cangming City. As for where exactly this was located within Cangming City, Lang Hongxiang could not tell, but given the strength of Howling Moon Valley, it shouldn't be too shabby. Coupled with the numerous passing cultivators, it was likely situated along a relatively prosperous street.

Lu Chenyan, who was lying lazily on a beach chair nearby soaking up the sun, also walked over carrying a bottle of mineral water and sat down amidst the group.

However, at this time the God race had not perished, and the Demon race was lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity; he could not afford a falling out with the Western Teachings just yet. The Jade Emperor, who weighed the balance across the three realms, was keenly aware of this point—when it came to political astuteness and depth of scheming, no one in the three realms could compare to him.

Wu Di flagged down a taxi and rushed here, paid the fare, and walked toward a row of houses that looked fairly luxurious.

Zhu Jianlian's heart leaped heavily. The more concern she showed for Wang Zhi, the more profound his ache became, as if pulling on some nerve and causing a dull, hidden pain deep within his body.

Only then did she realize she was not in the wrong. However, how could the broadcaster possibly know her name? And why would she need to step out of her seat, and furthermore, close her eyes?!

Mo Yunye gave him a massive eye-roll. Seeing his annoyance, he didn't bother to bicker with him further.

Meanwhile, Mikaela sat on an exhaust pipe, burying her face in her hands and resting them on her knees, grieving bitterly.

"Let's play it steady. You go help out in the other lanes more; I'll focus on farming safely for a while," Can Xiaoyang nodded upon hearing Lingfeng's words, deciding to help establish an advantage in the other lanes first.

Moreover, Wu Di was not an ordinary early-stage Innate martial artist, but a monstrous talent comparable to the late stage; it wasn't so easy for an early-stage Houtian cultivator to reach across space and tear out his heart.

Yet one had to admit that Min Yan's obsession with saving face was ingrained right down to her bones. These words were purely turning black into white, telling barefaced lies without even blushing or running out of breath.

The fat man watched him take his leave in a leisurely manner, only then snapping back to reality as he realized the other party had already finished conveying the message from the Federal military.

Only then did Li Changlin notice that this person's Xuanyuan national language was somewhat stiff and awkward, as if he were not truly a citizen of the Xuanyuan nation.

Subsequently, Taishang Laojun, having been beaten to the punch by Patriarch Bodhi, flew into a rage and unleashed one devastating ultimate move after another—indiscriminate attacks that even spared neither the Jade Emperor nor the Queen Mother, which was sufficient to show the unresigned resentment hidden within Taishang Laojun's heart.
