Chapter 24: The Signboard of the Heaven and Earth Chamber of Commerce
Although he had only met Xiao Qingya once, he felt quite favorably toward her. It wasn't love at first sight, but there was certainly some attraction to her beauty. Furthermore, his system required him to give gifts to female cultivators for it to function, making Xiao Qingya one of his prospective targets. Not to mention, he had come today specifically to ask for her help, and her current predicament offered him an opportunity. He suddenly recalled that tomorrow was the day to offer birthday greetings to the Supreme Laozi; why not use that occasion to make him look foolish and dampen his arrogance?
At this moment, Yuan Su was completely different from the version of her in the soul-tool world. In that world, she possessed a face that could bewitch all living beings, yet she remained incredibly conservative. He had not held back at all just now, and the fact that the young man before him had blocked his strike with such ease was proof enough that he was no simple opponent. "To think that in just a few days, you've turned into a mad dog, biting anyone you see. Do you think I didn't see how brutally you treated my brother, Gan Lao Si?"
What was well known about the Nether Ghost was that its attributes were perfectly balanced; it possessed high attack, high health, high defense, high agility, and high stamina—all five stats were exceptionally elevated. The Taoists were overjoyed upon hearing this, as they had been craving the ginseng fruit for years but had never had the fortune to taste it, only ever catching a faint scent from afar. With a roar, the old man with the white beard retreated from the front, his body now a mangled mess of flesh and blood. My parents didn't say much, only that they were bringing me to see a doctor, but since they couldn't find anyone, the family took us in.
At this moment, Lian Yuncheng stood before the gates of the Golden Roof Hall, his face filled with cold indifference as he looked at the people before him. Inside the hall, the Emei disciples remained huddled together, too terrified to venture out, their eyes wide with fear.
Back then, the Immortal Tianzong said he had no parents and that he had been found on the road. At first, he didn't believe it, but eventually, he came to accept it, and from that moment on, he never asked about his origins again. The cloaked figure with the bird-like beak standing before him exerted no pressure at all; he seemed to be nothing more than a contractor at the same level of strength as Naji or Scythia. Ever since he had accompanied Zhao Zhigang to Xu Tiecheng's office and seen that there was no private line installed, signaling poor security, Zhou Fengshan had made up his mind: he would no longer be bound by the rigid rules of the provincial government and insisted on having a private line installed in his own office.
The gain or loss of that particular opportunity no longer mattered much to him. He was confident that he could forge a new path for himself, one that would not be inferior to whatever might have been gained from that missed chance. Before Wanzhang Long could finish speaking, time suddenly stopped; the movements of Build and Cross-Z froze in place as the Time Jacker Uhr appeared before them.
Had she ruined the life of the Wei family or dug up their ancestral graves? Why else would Wei Bowang target her so relentlessly in the shadows? At that moment, a dark cloud drifted across the sky, veiling the crescent moon that hung like a budding flower. Ora returned to Uhr's side naturally, stabilizing her, for she truly didn't know what her dear friend might do next. Regardless, it was better to avoid unnecessary conflict; besides, the idea of her own man striking her best friend was a scene she dared not imagine.
Yet he showed no intention of conceding. He immediately raised his right hand, pointing straight ahead, as a vast divine radiance erupted from his body—a dazzling, brilliant, and majestic light that dominated the world. Yang Yong looked toward Lei Ling, and seeing her give a slight nod, he relayed the information he had previously shared with her to the Golden Dragon Elephant. He had nearly overlooked it; if he hadn't acted, the logistics battalion soldiers would have taken away these scraps of fabric, and retrieving them would not have been easy.
"Indeed, to stand out, one must seize a certain number of command flags!" Han Shan said with a grave expression. Six homemade rockets, each one point five meters long and eight centimeters thick, soared from their bamboo tubes with fiery tails, piercing the sky until they detonated amidst the clouds above. After the system's optimization, the effect of the Energy Beans had changed to enhancing the very essence of the user; combining the two, they were nothing short of an evolution catalyst.
A small number of enemies, unable to restrain themselves, chose to dive first, hoping to land early and lie in wait for Su Ye. An Mu had risked coming here today to steal a report, fearing nothing more than encountering this mysterious CEO. Yuan Zuns—each one of them was a Yuan Zun! A full eighteen people, every damn one of them a Yuan Zun! And if you added the two from before, wouldn't that make twenty?
A complete ecosystem was being established, and those benefiting from it were not just the official companies, but various participants as well. Father Lin was also somewhat dazed; usually, when Lin Siyu wore long dresses, though she had a decent figure, it didn't look like much. "Are we just going to ignore that man surnamed He? I have a bad feeling about this," another said, clearly uneasy.
Rest assured, this isn't some shady business; I won't disappear forever, nor will I be sent to labor camp. I will definitely return to update. Most importantly, seven blades grow from the body of the Blade Demon. Six of these are easy to spot, as they are the demon's six limbs—its two arms and four legs. Yun Xiao curled her lip; she wasn't blind. The way they were all laughing made it obvious they thought they could fool her just because it was her first time here. Because the spiritual energy within her was chaotic, the spirit sword in Yan Hong's hand was temporarily useless. After an afternoon of struggle, she finally reached a town at dusk to rest.
