Chapter 27

No one knew better than Jin Wudi what kind of strength Zuo Zhong possessed. A Foundation Establishment cultivator nearing the mid-stage—how could he possibly be killed?

Shen Ruochu placed the telephone receiver back in its cradle, flopped back onto the sofa, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"My apologies. My disciple’s temperament is far too volatile; please forgive whatever he may have done to you," he said with great courtesy.

"Girl, are you and your siblings alright?" Knowing that this young woman was not as simple as she appeared, the village elder felt relatively at ease.

Baili Wenxiang’s stepmother was still feeling smug. Even if she hadn't succeeded in making Xia Yao miscarry, the fact that Xia Yao had fled with the child meant the result was essentially the same, right? Surely the old man’s assets would eventually fall into her hands?

Chu Xun drove his knee into his stomach. Baili Wenxiang clutched his midsection, collapsed to the ground, and convulsed. Chu Xun stepped over him, his expression impassive.

"You mad old man, you are not permitted to disturb Sister Hongchen’s meditation!" The middle-aged nun who had previously been wounded by the madman stumbled forward to block his path, a look of grim determination shining in her eyes.

"It is too late." Yinhuan did not look back, merely quickening her pace as she walked out of the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Absolutely not.

She forced herself to open her eyes, gritted her teeth, and struggled to cooperate with Nanny Xia’s urgings.

"Lin Faguang is terrified his scandalous deeds will be exposed, so he intends to kill us to silence us!" Old Man Wang said.

Furthermore, each city was controlled by a first-class family; thus, this region was home to five first-class cities, accounting for the majority of all such designated hubs.

"So, taking things makes one soft-handed, does it? A clever tactic. If I agree, there is no telling how much trouble they might stir up for me later. Fine, I'll play along with them," Kang Yu thought to himself, and then he began his performance.

This time, his spiritual sense was practically screaming. Two powerful beings were approaching him.

She had been somewhat reckless in the past, but for the sake of Huang Yongwei, she had changed for the better. She, too, had encountered danger many times.

Xiao Han shuddered at Cheng Yaojin’s words and quickly shook his head, trying to cast that terrifying image from his mind.

"Then I suppose I haven’t arrived too late. These are hemostatic pills; they will alleviate your injuries. I will need your help with many things to come," Luo Xu said, dusting off his sleeves as he looked up.

This robot was not entirely humanoid in appearance; it was an android encased in silver metal. It stood about 1.5 meters tall, its head styled with a bun, and it even wore a metallic skirt. Beneath it, wheels allowed it to glide forward with great agility.

The Nine Nether avatar stretched his limbs. A supreme aura of the Dao realm suddenly tore through the sky, shattering the thick clouds and leaving a gaping void. The laws of nature in the vicinity swirled into a storm, radiating outward. Donghai Tian and the others retreated in unison; the pressure radiating from the void rendered the entire world silent.

"If only there were some mechanism capable of launching this copper wire mesh, much like a catapult," Zhong You sighed.

Throughout the ordeal, the crowd could not help but glance at the stark-naked Hu Li. Far from minding, Hu Li even cast them a flirtatious wink.

"Very well, no problem. As long as you can find her, I certainly will not let you down," Qian Daizi said.

Zhou Yu had always been brimming with confidence, and judging by current news reports, no team had announced plans to come to the capital.

Take Mount Hua, for example. Although the disciples of the sects there all identified themselves as being from the Mount Hua Sect, there were actually several distinct branches within, occupying different parts of the mountain and having nothing to do with one another. Consequently, Mount Hua was practically becoming the Mount Hua Mountain Range just to accommodate them all.

This Immortal Venerable was named Su Yan. While his strength could not be considered exceptionally formidable, he served the Celestial Emperor of the Heavenly Court.

"You see that building? That is our company. Feel free to have a look around," Zhuang Yi said.

After speaking, Beller helped himself to a bottle of beer. This was his usual manner; whether smoking or drinking, his movements were elegant. If it were anyone else, I would never use the word "elegant"—I would call it posturing. But with Beller, he seemed to possess that very charm.

There were eight "specimens" in total. They all appeared to have been subjected to the whims of the most cruel and depraved criminal; not a single one retained a shred of a decent appearance in death. Their bodies had been "prepared" so that not a single drop of blood remained, yet Harry felt he could still smell the thick scent of blood and decay.

Although these real estate developers faced the risk of fronting capital, he was well aware that any connection introduced by Wu Chenglin was bound to be quite powerful and reliable.

"This place is as spacious and beautiful as heaven!" Ginny said, filled with a mix of envy and trepidation. She looked down at the carpet in the corridor, wondering if she was even allowed to walk on it.

Ouyang Zheng turned to nod at Qian Mo, who then smiled and announced that the White Dragon Ambergris belonged to Hua Nan.

Following that, the voices grew increasingly strange until finally, "Big Brother, where did you go? For so many years, why did you never return..." Gu Yu was astonished. He turned to look at An Jinxuan, only to see him trembling with uncontrollable emotion, his expression complex as he gazed at An Jinlin.
