Volume One, Chapter 31: An Unexpected Incident—Robbed at Knife Point!

Li Dongsheng appeared before Heixi, tossed Di Renjie aside, and snatched the gun from Heixi’s hand.

Since the Sui Dynasty, the world had always belonged to the aristocratic clans; whoever they supported became the master of the realm.

Turning off a mobile phone does not solve the problem. Some computer experts can remotely power on devices without making a sound. In this way, a mobile phone becomes an undercover agent lurking on one’s person. As a secret agent, Zhang Peng knew this best and would certainly not make such a mistake.

"Master, why does Miao Yi have to sit in a wheelchair? Is it some kind of trend?" Wang Yue asked in confusion.

According to my experience, or rather the knowledge my master once imparted to me, I knew that such celestial phenomena were generally caused by the lingering presence of malevolent spirits on the ground, which drew down thunderbolts. It was also possible that a beast that had cultivated for a thousand years was undergoing a tribulation to ascend.

Long Tianci looked at Yin Yuan. She lowered her head and whispered, "You two talk, I’ll step out for a moment..." She then placed her hands on the rims of her wooden wheelchair and spun them. The chair moved as nimbly as if it were her own legs, and she turned to head out the door.

I looked deeply at Zhao Manyun. Although she had indeed deceived me, she had also protected me. How can the rights and wrongs of such matters be clearly defined by simple black and white?

Before long, the dishes were served. Having been busy all morning, Zhang Zhijie felt famished. As he smelled the colorful and fragrant spread covering the table, his appetite was thoroughly whetted.

Upon hearing the host’s words, Xu Du looked as if he had been granted an amnesty; he howled and ran back to his own seat.

Not long after Tang Xiu left, the window was gently pushed by something, and the shutters swung open.

Lingzhi had originally intended for her to absorb the fire energy herself to slowly balance her yin and yang, but the appearance of the Fire Qilin had greatly accelerated this process. Moreover, what Jiaoyu had gathered on her own was merely fire energy, whereas what the Fire Qilin left behind was pure, genuine fire-attribute vital energy—a contribution to her cultivation beyond measure.

Of course, as ordinary soldiers, they had no time to worry about such things. The victory or defeat of a war is a game played by those in high places. The value of an ordinary soldier lies in serving as the cheapest cannon fodder in a campaign, contributing to the glory of their superiors.

Yeyin did not know what kind of troubles someone like Yuan Ji, who possessed peerless beauty and supernatural martial arts, could possibly have. Yet, she could see his weariness. She pondered for a moment, contemplating his question.

Although Muxue was restless, it was a sensible companion. Whenever Gu Chen practiced the Yuqing Technique, it would sit quietly by his side, never disturbing his cultivation, and would even assist its master in the process.

"Luoyu! The bottom lane is in dire straits! Bi Ci and I are low on health, and the defense tower has already activated. Come and support us quickly!" Bi Ci’s voice echoed in his mind.

At this moment, when He Qingfan and his party arrived at the auction house, the venue was already packed. Humans and beasts were crowded together, all eagerly awaiting the official start of the auction. After all, they were not there to watch a show, but to purchase items.

"Yu Jing spoke out of turn and had no intention of offending the Princess. Please forgive me, Your Highness." When Xia Nuanyan uttered the words "base and cheap," Liu Yujing’s face changed drastically. She knelt down in a panic, and seeing this, Liu Chan’er also knelt down hurriedly.

Feng Luoyu looked at Ran Luoxue, who had transformed from a meteor, and for a moment, he felt a sense of hair-raising dread.

"Is that all?" He sat in his seat, swept a faint glance over the two dishes and one soup on the dining table, and asked.

Looking at Mo Lin’s face, they felt a sense of familiarity. Finally, after a moment, they remembered who he was.

Upon hearing the tragic news of Mao Haitao, the Yu woman collapsed, weeping uncontrollably and nearly fainting. Yu Jianqiang, who had rushed down from upstairs upon hearing the commotion, was stunned by the news of Mao Haitao’s death, standing frozen until he saw the Yu woman’s reaction and rushed over to support her.

Aside from the workers on the island, who among those present had not received the blessings brought by Anping Island?

Well, Lin Fan finally understood why the company employees looked at him with such strange expressions. After a moment of contemplation, he made a decision.

The human saint not only attacked the human knights but also transformed into that bizarre form, lacking any trace of human aura. This was something no knight or noble could accept.

Luo Xin’er and Hua Jieyu, being involved in the situation, did not understand the cause of it and wore worried expressions. Only after hearing Miss Su Yun’s laughter did they react, realizing that none of this was real—it was merely their husband teasing them. They immediately began to roll up their sleeves, determined to teach Lin Xiuran a lesson.

The logic was simple: the world’s resources are finite. If one exhausts the resources within one’s own country, what will happen when they are needed in the future? Buy them from other countries?

Once that person learned he did not have long to live, everything naturally ceased to matter, so he agreed to your request. Afterward, you persuaded your younger brother to go out for a trip, fully displaying your deep concern as an older brother.

Seeing Old Wei again, Zhao Ping’an felt somewhat conflicted. He knew very well that if it weren’t for this old man, ever since he made that decision back then, he might never have been able to return to China for the rest of his life, let alone travel back and forth with such swagger, acting as if he were returning home in glory.

Lin Fan had apparently asked a mysterious man named Baker to help him investigate who was attacking Mengniu, and requested that Baker apply pressure. This content of their conversation left Feng Lun and Ma Yun looking at each other in disbelief; they could not imagine who would have such great capability.

The massacre that occurred in Yangyuan Town was surely orchestrated by my elder brother. He sent Fu Jiuyou to slaughter the commoners with the goal of luring you and your personal guards out.

After the battlefield of the gods at the level of Celestial Divine Powers concluded, only the Immortal battlefield at the level of Main Gods and the Earth Immortal battlefield at the level of Supreme Gods remained.

The Wu’an Marquis’s residence is now left with only widows and orphans. Although Grandmother has not uttered a single word of complaint, you and I both know the depth of her sorrow.
