Chapter 39
“Of course there is. With the existence of the martial arts world in China, the state naturally has corresponding departments. However, these departments are unknown to outsiders, though every municipal police station has contact information for such departments,” Jiang Li explained to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao swallowed hard, pondering silently, his hand gently resting on the base of the Sumeru Stone.
Xiao Fei’s disregard infuriated Murong Chenxing to the point of almost smoking from his orifices. How dare Xiao Fei ignore the leader of the F4? Yet, with so many people present, he restrained himself, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes as he concealed his hatred deep within.
The Dragon King of the North Sea and several patrol sea demons emerged from the water. “Strange, two days ago this was a dead zone, yet now it has returned to calm,” the Dragon King remarked upon seeing the azure sea.
Despite such severe suppression, the defense could not hold. Commander Xue’s troops began to waver, unable to withstand the onslaught of so many tanks. The sandbag fortifications were mere scraps in the face of these advanced American tanks.
Chen Hao did not intend to harm Jiang Shaoping; his palm carried little force. Otherwise, just that push alone could have gravely wounded Jiang Shaoping.
As the evening wore on to around eight or nine o’clock, the ecological park plunged into darkness. Though some distant street lamps faintly illuminated, their reach was limited. Yet Ye Wudao had lost patience to wait any longer.
At that moment, Lian’er could no longer hold back a low shout, and a powerful wave of energy surged from within her, sweeping outward and directly toward the two.
“Hurry and check which intelligence network has responded!” a white intelligence officer in his forties ordered sternly, standing behind several technicians as he stared intently at the LCD screens covering the office walls.
Then, Kieran was appointed to take over all affairs of Wuji City, becoming the new city lord.
Locke tried to sense the shadow energy from the air. Without mastering the Death Knight’s power, defeating the Lich was merely wishful thinking.
Xi Ren did not refuse; she knew how to conduct herself and understood that Wang Xifeng was also tactful. Wang Xifeng intended to convey two things: first, she had not meant to offend her earlier and bore no ill will; second, to congratulate Xi Ren on becoming Baoyu’s “quasi-aunt.”

“You misunderstand. I just think it’s not the right time to act yet. But if you want to, I can’t stop you,” You Qilang said, releasing Zhang Cuifeng’s wrist.
When he looked toward the source of the aura, he saw only a vague blur, unidentifiable.
Phantom tanks and Natasha around them began firing. The terrifying proton beams would claim a life every time they pierced the void. Some unlucky infiltrators were engulfed by multiple beams simultaneously, instantly disintegrated.
Cuixin smiled. “Who can predict the world’s affairs? But, Young Master Le, I’d rather hide in this cave. Otherwise, I would have been devoured by tigers above long ago and wouldn’t be chatting with you so leisurely.” Le Yiyang smiled, acknowledging the truth in her words, and did not argue.
When 6 Zhi Cheng and Le Yiyang saw Master Xiaosan in trouble, they immediately rushed to help but were blocked by flying stones summoned by the Tongtian Evil Lord. The stone formation circled around Master Xiaosan about ten meters away.
The white horse seemed to sense its master’s mood, lying down under the old tree, listless. The air was thick with the smell of tide and mildew. Gazing at the moss-covered stone steps and the broken window veiled with cobwebs, the courtyard’s half-dried well, the aged wooden barrels lying on the side, and the withered ropes, a sense of desolation deepened.
They seemed to sense the dreadful killing power embedded in the arrow on Xue Chong’s Devouring Soul Bow. Suddenly, the black giant wave before them began braking, even attempting to retreat, but its cumbersome body left it no chance to evade.
At that moment, the Tangut warriors all arrived. Tuoba Jiyu saw Le Yiyang wounded and smirked maliciously.
Her memories before rebirth had faded almost entirely. That distant world was truly unreachable. Yet, she bore no great sorrow; she was always a person who went with the flow. After turning into a fish, her intellect declined considerably, and she became more indifferent to life.
Later, when Dong Zhuo realized he had been deceived, he resolved to destroy the foundation of the court officials opposing him and to retaliate against their collusion with foreign troops. What he did was less about cruelty or stupidity and more a matter of incompetence and shortsightedness.
Fu Dianchen could not imagine how terrifying Ye Xian would have become had he grown up in the Fu family like him.
He had been foolish enough before, failing to recognize his feelings for Ye Jinmu, thus missing numerous opportunities.

Lü Bu felt his legs weaken; he dared to fight any fierce beast barehanded and fearlessly faced the slaughter in a charge of ten thousand, yet he feared something he could neither resist nor but succumb to and obsess over.
Inhaling Su Yiyue’s subtle fragrance, Xiao Yi felt slightly intoxicated, unconsciously nudging against her delicate chest.
Xiao Chengtian and Nie Tianyun exchanged glances, both sensing the surprise reflected in the other’s eyes. Xiao Chengtian smiled faintly and spoke.
Wei Junshan strode into the restaurant and immediately spotted Wei Bao squatting in an empty spot. Wei Bao’s position faced the entrance directly; once Wei Junshan stepped in, there was no reason not to see him.
Even in the battle against the Evil God, the disadvantage was never so severe. This was why Su Lin chose to avoid confrontation. Though both opponents suffered losses fighting Hua Yuhe, they were still considerably stronger.
Everyone tried on helmets, and they fit well this time, avoiding a repeat of Lu Chenghu’s mishap.
“Brother Tian, you’re so crude! Even though you’ve won over Wu Yuan, you can’t hide your rough nature,” Lu Fan sneered disdainfully.
Shou Keshou was startled to hear this, while Fei Shou remained calm, as if expecting it all along.
Now, the ambush forces had been discovered by the Eighth Route Army before coming into play. Once exposed, the ambush could no longer serve its purpose.
Voluntarily giving up membership status meant one could reapply later, but being expelled made reentry nearly impossible.
