Volume One, Chapter 26: Project Leader

Jun Hui thought about this, and a warm current surged in her heart, giving a touch of warmth to her previously despairing and icy spirit.

Yet the forest surrounding the Tomb of Corpses was truly bizarre. Mu Xue led Gu Chen and Jun Hui around no fewer than ten times, but in the end, they always returned to the spot where they’d first entered. This left the two people and the dog perplexed, as every method they tried proved futile.

“No loss, no loss. I’ll have my assets converted to cash and transferred to the foundation. Then could you ask Young Master Ji to spare my family?” The man spoke hurriedly, afraid that even a moment’s delay would be too late.

Rong Xiliang’s heart chilled halfway, instinctively taking Yang Li’s reaction as disapproval.

In the mirror, Ye Yuntian was dressed in casual sportswear, a black baseball cap on his head, and sunglasses covering most of his face.

Mu Xue, still in a daze, was startled awake by Gu Chen. From his expression, she could sense his anger. She whimpered at him, then cast a fierce glare at Xing Yun and the others before reluctantly moving aside and lying on the ground.

Although Linglong knew Ye Yuntian could never have done such a thing, she still couldn’t help feeling distressed.

In extreme irritation, Jiang Chengce took out a cigarette, but no matter how he tried, he couldn’t light it. In a fit of rage, he smashed the lighter.

For seven days straight, Yun Chi remained in the Fourth Gate. Though she gained nothing, she was calm and patient. She could hold her composure, but others could not.

These two must have known each other for years; otherwise, how could Master Hong’en so quickly flatter Qing Yun? Yun Chi mused inwardly.

Bansaini ultimately feared the so-called rules, doing his utmost to lessen the injuries of the bald man, afraid he would die from excessive blood loss.

Liu Yunfei had seen all kinds of things. As soon as he began to examine the Kunwu Blade, he recognized its material. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still astounded. He could easily distinguish between diamond and adamantine, and just the value of this material alone was incalculable.

Under the gaze of the high-ranking members of Gesoas City, Lin Wei and his companions slowly disappeared into the distance.

“What did you say? The Emperor sent someone out of the palace overnight?” Empress Dowager Chen paused in surprise, just as she was preparing for bed, never expecting to hear such news.

Even with her eyes closed, she could not stem the torrent of tears, which flowed like a broken string of pearls.

“Looks like I’ll have to get myself a helmet one of these days.” This was Locke’s only thought at the moment.

Lin Wei’s fingers pierced the stone pillar as easily as a sharp knife into tofu, making a hole with ease.

In the past, they only knew that their ancestors had learned skills in Suzhou, which created the present Zheng family.

At the heart of the Demon Realm, Hu Ao floated silently fifty thousand kilometers above the ground. The intricate hand seals replayed in his mind. Suddenly, Hu Ao’s hands began to move, following the sequence in his mind.

Zhao Tianming and his companions returned to the street. Not long after, the second brother came looking for them, empty-handed, clearly having not acted yet.

Ao Qingfeng’s expression froze, and he snorted angrily, the arrogance on his face diminishing somewhat. Yin Li’s words were unpleasant but true; now that the secret of the Dragon Jade Tablet was out, the Bat Sect knew that even if they obtained it, they could not keep it, at most gaining a year to study it as promised.

Of course, while sticking close to George, Negro did not forget to place his hand on George’s back, subtly pulling and releasing it. This intermittent tugging was enough to hinder any opponent’s speed.

The old steward’s heart chilled at the sight; he felt he had kicked an iron plate this time. “You—you—you actually dare assault an officer!” the old steward exclaimed in panic.

Yinzhen fully agreed with Kangxi’s actions. He knew he could not match Kangxi in every way. Thinking it over, he still felt something was off, though it was best to let Kangxi handle it.

Unable to continue cultivating, Qiao Qiao saw Ling Feng still focused, eyes closed, refining his True Essence. A vast area of red light surged around him, spinning and then merging into the fire-elemental sword essence.

After all, the alien leader and Long Fei had a somewhat ambiguous relationship. To call them enemies wasn’t quite right, nor were they truly friends.

At this moment, Vieira waved his hand, signaling his teammates to press forward, and he himself began to charge ahead.

Seeing that two esteemed and wise counselors were of the same opinion, Yuan Tan had no choice but to follow their advice.

Huai You put away the Spirit-Suppressing Staff. The recent contest had nearly cost him his dignity, but now the outcome seemed irrelevant. The appearance of the figure in white had elevated the whole affair to a new level.

Zhu Ha’s look of sudden realization and her words left Wanru exasperated—was this really how others saw her?

In the heart space, Yin Hong sat by the lake, lost in thought. Nearby, the soul lamp’s black dragon projection watched her with a peculiar expression, though Yin Hong seemed unaware of it.

Wang Lang raised his glass in response, while Yuan Hao set his cup down, looking indifferent, leaving Gao Xiangjun awkwardly holding his glass in midair.

The so-called Wild Comprehensive Mixed Team Battle, as the name implies, was not held in the Longyan arena but in a ten-square-kilometer mountain valley on the outskirts of the Longyan base.

The ancient dragonfish emerged from the Chaos Sea. Because its appearance resembled the dragon clan, the world referred to it as the dragonfish.

Sheng Xueqin and Chen Qi finally understood—the ancestors of the Nine Families and the Thousand Dao King both feared what resided within the coffin.

Chaos tried to resist, but was shocked to find his chaotic power completely suppressed by ghost force, unable to cast any spells. Before he could react, Zhang Cheng’s fist struck his chest.

The Divine Wind Sword Technique was a fine mid-grade martial art of the Fragmented Element class. With further progress, it could reach the pinnacle of its category.

Most residents activated their communicators, awaiting the latest news from the official Longge Wang family channel.
