Volume 1, Chapter 36: Root and Branch

Qing Yuan’s expression was indifferent as he looked at the few people opposite him, watching them clutch cold blades and cold bows, pulling at the slender, frigid, and sharp bowstrings.

"In this zone, there are fifteen government gates, over three hundred family research labs, and twenty-seven departments of the Military Ministry. The military and government departments are not a problem, but among those three hundred-plus family labs, there are several we simply cannot command." Long Ge’s voice turned chilling as he spoke.

As a garrison commander, Wan Feng had considerable connections within the Federation. He had seen many experts who practiced ancient martial arts, including those who utilized blade qi or sword qi.

Without delay, the two of them, along with a Bagua compass, stepped into the Ancestral Well cavern. Legend held that only when the two halves of the stone skull met could the path to the most evil of lands be opened. However, this path was perilous; even experts at the Ancestral God level were not guaranteed a safe passage.

For other top-tier experts, this should have been a world-shaking, team-wiping battle, but in the hands of this super-butcher Ancient God master, it was all over after just a few minutes of hand movements.

"Luo Yaoxiang, do you hate me that much?" Gao Yuanyuan’s expression hovered between tears and a flicker of anger.

However, he had also done something else—wasn't his role supposed to be that of the original Brother Long?

GIC invests using the nation’s wealth. In Mo Ming’s era, the assets it managed already exceeded one hundred billion U.S. dollars. Yet at its inception, while it searched for investment opportunities everywhere, countless greedy eyes were fixed on the massive, directionless hot money in its pockets.

Dunleavy didn't know how to use a big center; he preferred running pick-and-rolls, followed by interior cuts or mid-range shots. Brand, being short but highly mobile, was formidable playing this way.

Trapped in a desperate situation, Jiang Chen felt not a shred of fear. With a deep shout, the roots of Primordial Chaos and the Green Lotus of Creation bestowed their infinite power upon him. Instantly, the forbidden power of gods and demons surged without end, breaking through his limits to reach a state of unprecedented strength.

Even worse, the things he had done in the past might be exposed. If that happened, not only would he lose out on potential gains, but he would also meet his own ruin. How could they possibly sit still?

Yi Pianyun was very fond of the Tibetan Mastiff named Da Sha. Although the creature was often dull and silly, it was his favorite. Whenever Yi Pianyun sat in a pile of furs to bask in the sun, this silly dog would lie on his feet to keep them warm—it was very thoughtful.

Suddenly, my ghost energy began to falter. Across from me, Young Master Yun finally lost his composure. He had resisted for a long time, but in the end, he could not withstand the temptation and made his move.

It was precisely because he saw the development of the Temple that Lin Feng wanted to lead the domestic Xuan Sect out into the world. Always fixating on what was right in front of them, squabbling back and forth without achieving anything—what was the point of that?

After boarding the ship, Li Qing instructed us to listen more, watch more, and speak less, before leading us to another area.

Lin Feng arrived in front of the medicine cauldron and took a long breath. His face grew solemn, and his hands moved slowly as if performing Tai Chi. It was a subtle gesture, yet it drew everyone’s gaze; even Zhang Qingyun couldn't help but steal a glance.

Their formation had loosened slightly. A weaker team, consisting only of a peak first-realm ghost king, had become isolated. We gave chase and discovered that their location was at the foot of a volcano.

"Yu'er, why won't you wake up?" Despite Murong Yu’s expression, the three elders of the Murong family remained completely unmoved, maintaining their look of heartbreak. The old master, appearing pale and sickly, was the most persuasive of them all.

When Master Wang slid the ring onto her ring finger last night, she had secretly marveled at how unique it was—something she had never seen before. She never expected it would be taken back before it had even warmed to her skin.

The eye area of the hood featured transparent lenses ground from crystal, and a giant, air-filled bladder from an ox was wrapped around the waist.

If it isn't, then I am relieved. As the saying goes, it is easy to conquer a kingdom but hard to keep it. I would not want the foundation my father worked so hard to build to be ruined by such a person.

At Oriental Hospital, Mother was pushed out in a wheelchair by Chen Luobin. Dr. Li said Mother’s body was currently too weak for walking, so Chen Luobin took her out to get some fresh air.

This response was met with a chorus of boos. Many reporters looked at Chen Luobin with disdain; when it comes to scandals, no one dares to admit them.

Why did the Three Great Sects join the Plum Garden in the first place? It was for the Star Ocean. Even after gradually merging into an inseparable part of the Plum Garden, the name "Star Ocean" never vanished from their hearts. After the loss of so many men, the weight of those two words only grew heavier within them.

Looking at the gathering blood, Nie Shao felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as if something terrifying were about to emerge in the world. "Could it be the Demon Race?" If it wasn't the followers of the evil path, collecting so much blood was something only the Demon Race would do. Could this person also be from the Demon Race?

Except for Qing Ran and Master Yongjing, the others retreated rapidly, leaving the ever-expanding dark barrier.

He had not expected that this Elder Xu before him would recognize the origin of his boxing style at a single glance.
