Volume 1, Chapter 62: Avenge You
"How would I know what you've been up to? Have you put your clothes on yet?" Ling Su asked angrily.
After a long while, the phone by her ear just kept playing endless, lingering music tones! Ji Shangnan, having reached the limit of his patience, tossed the phone in his hand aside.
Commerce allowed the Jews to accumulate massive wealth, which severely unbalances the mindset of the European public who were battered by the major economic crisis after World War I and on the eve of World War II. Consequently, various European countries, especially Germany, focused their hatred on the Jews.
"Respectfully sending off His Highness, the Prince of Qin!" The news of Li Yunfei being poisoned had, after much spread, become an open secret. Therefore, these people naturally did not expect Li Yunfei to accompany them to the banquet anymore.
It could be said that Venus had always been a loyal and devoted follower of the Church of the God of Light. Never did she expect that she would end up betraying the Holy See and even becoming an enemy of the emissaries from the Divine Realm.
However, the content of the message made Weijiacheng find it even more unbelievable. Luo Jinshi wanted him—wanted him to go to that mountainous region to negotiate regarding that unearthed treasure.
In this lifetime, Lele had matured at a very early age. Therefore, whenever her younger paternal cousins came to play with her and her brother, she tried her best to teach them using the lifestyle habits their mother had taught them. Gone was the arrogance they used to carry, inherited from their parents. Could this be considered a small change for the better?
On this day, their pharmacy officially opened for business. Since firecrackers were not banned yet, their godfather and father bought two large rolls of firecrackers and lit them. The firecrackers crackled and popped for a long time, attracting some passersby to come over and watch the commotion.
"Good, you've worked hard. You are the person I trust most here, keep up the good work," the Demon Emperor said, patting Nixie's shoulder.
Just kidding, as a proud son of Huaxia, how could I dare step outside without wearing some clothes imbued with the Huaxia style?
Instantly, the aura of the Shadow Demon King plummeted dramatically, growing even weaker than it was before he had activated his secret technique.
These two fellows were naturally concerned about the treasures. If they couldn't get their hands on any treasures, this trip would truly have been for nothing.
The white light emitted by this pendant was simply the natural nemesis for Shadow Demons that fed on the aura of blood and malevolence.

Because Lin Tian had returned too late last night, she and Siyue had already fallen asleep, so she hadn't asked many questions.
During their conversation, the two of them unconsciously arrived at the gathering point. They saw that on the "Lost Immortal Plain" at the entrance of Lost Immortal Town, nine figures were already quietly waiting. It appeared that only Palace Master Caiwei had yet to arrive.
Meanwhile, Qing Lingzhi, Mo Guang, Beifeng Lan, and Kaitu had also successfully entered the top thirty.
Qi Ning and Ling Xiayao might still be held back by certain matters from openly showing hostility and falling out with these two, but Ye Lei was different; he had no such scruples.
However, for someone like Lin Tian who possessed such exceptional culinary skills, hiding techniques was pointless. As long as Lin Tian tasted a dish once, he would definitely be able to replicate it.
"It's nothing much really, it's just about the living ginseng. Could you share a bit of the living ginseng you obtained with me?" Ke Miaomiao asked.
After a short while, the corpses of these men in black spontaneously burned into ashes. A gust of wind blew past, leaving nothing behind.
This was indeed true. Wang Bao and his men were either desperadoes or retired soldiers, all of them far more formidable than ordinary people, and armed with firearms to boot. Ordinary people stood no chance against them, let alone fighting off a crowd and subduing or executing them all.
Fang Hui's aura coagulated, and suddenly a killing intent permeated between heaven and earth. Without even mobilizing much spiritual energy, relying purely on physical strength with a loud boom, his figure vanished from the spot.
Fang Hui smiled; he happened to have a few questions he wanted to consult Master Yuehua about, so he could conveniently resolve them together now.
The Cold Moon Sect of today was different from the past; it had to maintain the vitality of its disciples. Appropriate rewards could stimulate their enthusiasm, and Yan Tingyue was happy to see such a situation.
Immediately after, they saw Bai Yu step forward. After silently reciting a spell, it spread its wings and began tapping at the empty space in front of it. As it continuously tapped, ripples of transparent light spread outward into the surroundings.
Lin Ruofeng leaned against the substitute bench seat, his brow tightly furrowed. Gu Junzhang was outlining tactics on the sidelines that basically had no practical effect, but executing a strategy was still better than the players fumbling around blindly.

Jiang Wanying and the others were so excited they almost cried. Although the life-bound paper talisman had never shattered, the fact that there was neither sight nor sound of him still caused a lingering worry. Now that Su Nan had reappeared before them alive and well, how could they not be emotional?
However, someone capable of driving Nanwang and his ilk to do his bidding would certainly not handle such matters personally. Isn't this just a matter of a single word from a superior? Naturally, there were hordes of subordinates to get it done.
Suddenly, the singing from the computer stopped abruptly. "Eh, what's wrong?" Jiang Chonglang opened his eyes in puzzlement and saw Han Yu sitting beside him; it was clearly he who had turned off the music.
A series of questions churned in Tuoba Jie's mind. More importantly, the fact that Qiu Xuan and Dabu Shuiyun had been killed simultaneously—this harsh reality of permanent parting—was something Tuoba Jie found difficult to accept for a moment.
Not only was the hammer not lifted away, but that nameless passerby had also been trampled beyond recognition. This was probably the most wretched moment of his life, filled with extreme regret in his heart.
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to associate with those ministers and generals, but rather that he dared not get too close to them, lest he arouse Zhu Wen's suspicion.
"Dammit!" Behind the destructive magic sphere, Ni Wushang gritted his teeth while furiously channeling his power, his body trembling violently.
Recalling what had just happened, Ye Zexi still felt a lingering fear, his heart pounding heavily against his chest like the beating of a dense drum.
At this, not only did the ordinary soldiers break into an uproar, but even the officers and generals became restless.
The surface of Uranus appears azure blue, making it the coldest atmosphere in the solar system, with minimum temperatures plummeting down to -224°C.
