Chapter 45

"Muru-huhu~ Our lovely captain isn't an honest man, is he?" Devon teased playfully.
He had heard the words spoken by the Yang family member earlier; at first listen, they didn't sound like lies, delivered smoothly and all in one breath.
"What did Qin Dong do to Xinya?" Without waiting for Qin Jian to continue reminiscing about the past, Lu Qingze asked directly.
The moment one of his feet crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned around, the expression on his face indescribably ferocious.
As a result, during this period, Lei Yang increased his vital energy by more than twenty units—he truly was a freak.
After leaving Ye Lanshan's place, Wennuan and Lu Qingze headed straight to the hospital to see Yueyue.
This way, they would save themselves the trouble of collecting supplies along the way, thereby reducing a lot of time and unnecessary danger.
"Indeed. That's why, after discovering it, I didn't intervene, but instead chose to play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada," Su Chu said with a confident smile, thick with certainty.
However, she felt as though she was about to face something ominous, yet she had no idea where this feeling came from. The sensation made her slightly uneasy, with no outlet for release. Perhaps it was just her imagination; she hoped it was merely an illusion.
Before leaving home, however, Wu Mian had already stated that he was attending a special training session today, so he wouldn't be coming home to sleep.
Just as she was hesitating, her phone vibrated again. This time it wasn't Jiang Xinyue, but Qin Yang.
Tong Wanhua paid no attention to this. After pulling back her hand, she couldn't help drifting into a daze, her fingers subconsciously rubbing against one another.
Unlike Luo Hao, once the cable car started moving, Jiang Xinyue couldn't be bothered to pay him any more attention; she was already captivated by the snowy mountain scenery.
If this vehicle were truly a ghost carriage, then activating my Dharma Eyes would surely reveal the clues.
Furthermore, this old lady was advanced in years and had consumed half a bottle of paraquat; even with a stomach pump at the hospital, her survival was far from guaranteed.
Therefore, Deputy Commander Wu could only pray that everyone's assessment of Jiang Chuan was correct—hoping he was merely a businessman operating a legitimate military-industrial enterprise rather than an arms dealer.
Qin Ming realized for the first time that he actually had to spend points to purchase qualification, prompting him to silently curse the system in his heart.
"I am going to let Shapingba see that Li Zhongren is always a piece of fatty meat right between our teeth!" Yan Laoxi gritted his teeth, pronouncing each word with deliberate force.
As Mama Zhang passed by Ji Manrou, she cast a timid glance at her, then quickly lowered her head.
Did they not know that Qin Ming was the one who wiped out the Black Wind Fortress here, and for that was conferred the title of Prince of Lingnan by the Flame Emperor?
Now his zombie control skill had risen to level two, allowing him to control tier-two zombies while the maximum number he could control simultaneously had increased to two.
Over the past six years, the sect master had shown him extraordinary care. Whenever any rare heavenly treasures or miraculous medicinal pills were obtained, they were sent to him immediately for consumption and refinement, in the hope of resolving his condition.
Aunt Gui still felt lingering fear regarding her arrival. Last night, simply because Nie Wanluo mentioned she really wanted to eat seafood, she had risked it and made an extra plate of prawns and crabs, only for an incident to actually occur.
Zeng Guofan narrowed his eyes to observe closely, noticing that the drag-net sat very deep in the water, and the boatman was rowing with great effort.
Tang Mengting and the others watched the debate among these heavenly-ranked supernatural beings and began discussing and laughing among themselves.
Wang Cheng and Yang Huan were even more utterly in awe of Chen Ziyu's capabilities. While they were both lowly officials, Commander Chen could come and go as he pleased.
Speaking of which, the relationship among Hu Linyi, Zuo Zongtang, and Zeng Guofan was quite extraordinary—they were truly bosom friends.
They had merely wanted to check if there were any treasures here; who could have known it would involve a demon?
Helan Shu wore an arrogant posture, holding Meng Fuge in her hand as she spoke with contempt and triumph.
Wei Xuan's assistant followed behind the man, escorting him to the door, offering apologies, and slipping a red envelope into his hand before the man's expression finally improved.
Although business cards were not entirely trustworthy and fake scouts did exist, they could still instill a subconscious impression of "I am a genuine talent scout" in the other party.
This Diamond Temple had existed since the previous dynasty. Although it had always been a seventh-rank influence, its heritage spanned thousands of years, carrying an extraordinary aura.
It seemed that within this sword light, a lake had appeared, enclosing the entire arena within its expanse. Thick clouds piled up in the sky, and pattering snowflakes fell, forming a thick layer of ice over the lake surface, accompanied by a faint mist wrapping raindrops within the snow.
Today, severely injuring Baili Bing and Xiahou You—both villains at the tenth realm of the Dao Realm—was naturally a massive display of might.
I nodded, drove to the Siyuan Cemetery, and arranged for someone to tidy up the resting places of Zuo Zhu and Wang Qi, dressing them in new clothes before placing them beside me.
Hellhounds were like fish in water on this land. They rarely encountered natural predators, and the method of devouring souls to enhance their strength was terrifyingly efficient.
A week passed, and I still hadn't received any news. In my heart, I had already intended to give up, but just as I was about to let go, he replied to me with a single letter: T.
Just after this step was taken, a soft gasp of surprise echoed from within the Imperial Extreme Hall, followed by the sight of Wang Tong taking another step forward, covering yet another half-zhang of distance.
The ghost chieftain's fist remained suspended in mid-air for a long time before he finally pulled it back. Then, casting a cold glance at Chu Ze and the others, he turned around and left with his subordinates.
Although Li Xiufeng didn't know whether his master's words were sheer boasting, judging by his demeanor and utter confidence, he estimated that at least a fourth-rank alchemist would have such certainty to make such claims. Cultivation built entirely on pills might fall into the lower tier, but at least the realm had been attained.
"What is this? Weren't you the one who rejected others just before?" Ding Qing said with great displeasure, instantly pouting and speaking in an annoyed tone.
"Damn it!" Bai Qi felt as though ten thousand alpacas were stampeding across his heart, cursing Bian Ge's ancestors eighteen generations back for giving birth to such a scourge.
"Yet the deaths of those elders of our clan are absolute facts! You cannot escape responsibility!" Yuehua declared fiercely.
"Sister-in-law, do these three boxes of health supplements constitute a three-course treatment?" Princess Hejia hugged the exquisitely packaged oral liquid tightly to her chest like a precious treasure.
"He didn't even run away?" Ding Qing said in astonishment, having witnessed the terrifying deaths of the eleven individuals earlier. That man still hadn't fled? Could it truly be that he thought he could defeat Xiao Xiao?
