Chapter 41 (Major Revision)

"No way—are you kidding me? Did those guys actually blow up the sewer?" Machias asked in a panic, stumbling forward as the ground shook.

"See? Didn't I tell you?" Lin Ying'er said to Xu Duan only after seeing him cut the video feed.

"You'll pay for speaking out of turn," Toval stepped forward, his expression grim and threatening.

If the Qingyuan Divine Tree is cultivated to a million years of age, it will undergo a powerful evolution, transforming into a true celestial spiritual plant—a genuine celestial-grade treasure.

"A project just wrapped up; I collected my bonus and am taking some leave," Fang Cheng replied with a brief smile. He then asked, "What about you? It's the middle of the day, why aren't you at work?" Fang Cheng glanced at the scenery outside the car before turning to ask his cousin.

"How could that be? Director He, you might not know this, but the quality of an outdoor reality show depends entirely on the pre-production. The preparation phase is the most critical part of an outdoor show, and I'm relying on you for that," Xu Duan said, stroking He Yungui’s ego.

"He's coming down?" Yao Jinxu looked up and saw Baka, the alien responsible for the negotiations, stepping off the spaceship. He quickly issued his orders.

The orbal device flashed with purple light, firing in rapid succession. This well-prepared countermeasure forced Aike to shift his trajectory mid-slash. He dodged the chattering orbal bullets, leaped aside, and put some distance between himself and Sara.

"Let's go downstairs; the police should be here any minute," Wu Yi said, recalling that beautiful scene from moments ago, and hurriedly pushed the two of them out.

Because there were many celestial herbs in the Eighty-Sixth Immortal Mountain—treasures he had painstakingly accumulated—he was unwilling to just abandon them.

But at that time, even if his strength wasn't enough to dominate the war, he could at least influence the direction it took.

Furthermore, why did the Great Emperors only go there in their twilight years? Could it be that the place was so dangerous that even the invincible Great Emperors had no certainty of success, forcing them to venture there only at the end of their lives?

Just as he was about to retreat into the Black Tower to avoid the brunt of the attack, the strange fire suddenly sent him a thought: it wanted to come out and deal with these evil demon trees.

"Fine, I will talk to Xiuchen," Gu Kai said, his gaze darkening. The thought of his late mother made his heart constrict, and his tone grew heavier.

"Mistaking this for me asking you out!" When Gu Kai's mocking words reached her ears, the fire in Bai Yiyi's heart was instantly ignited.

When Tang Jue walked in, he saw her sitting there, bathed in the morning light filtering through the window.

In the end, I decided to tell Jian Ming that I would go see him in the next couple of days, and told him not to be with Yaxing for the time being so I could explain things to him in detail when I got there.

Not only was the blond guy laughing hysterically, but the bystanders who had been surprised by Chen Xingyu's courage were also left completely baffled.

"Junming, are you busy right now? Did I interrupt you?" Chu Junming turned on the speakerphone, and Mo Mo's crisp voice came through.

He supported her shoulders and held the back of her head, laying her back down on the bed so her neck wouldn't give out.

Ever since this temporary command center was established, over a hundred people had flooded into this few-hundred-square-meter courtyard.

In contrast, Ace and Nami were already jumping around and shouting like monkeys.

Law was still young and had great potential. As long as he was willing to cooperate, the Navy would certainly not give up on Law, the user of the Op-Op Fruit.

After all, disregarding whether that plan was even real, he didn't know much about the strength of the four guardian deities. What if they really had the power to stop it?

A grenade landed near the MG42 machine gun that was spitting fire, and the assistant gunner who was feeding the ammo fell to the side.

The God of Darkness was in stealth mode in front of others. Since he didn't want to reveal himself, Enkso couldn't see him.

But Seltzer, who had been completely unresponsive, suddenly grabbed her hand as she was about to pull away, wrapping her fingers within his own palm.

Halfway through, he looked left and right, trying to find the documents he had previously looked up on Lu Fangning, only to realize after searching that he had left them with Sheng Zhan.

He wondered how Chu Sui had lived all these years. Even if she spent her days counting money, there must be a point where one gets tired of it. How could she have stayed in this home for so many years?

Accompanied by musicians? Chen Rong shuddered. Now, whenever she heard the word "musician," she thought of those beastly gazes.

Coleson was a fighter from Soul Combat. Three years ago, Soul Combat was still a strong nation capable of sending elite cultivators to participate in the All-Academy Tournament. Now, in just three short years, it had already fallen.

Hearing the fat man's words, Long Jianfei did not recognize that the other party was lying; people like him were eager to show off to the world.

That "lick" successfully made Wang Hong shiver, and almost at the same time, his eyes, clear as water, lit up brightly.

Cheng Linting's eyes bulged, and he roared, "No! How can this be? How can the Wind and Cloud Pure Yang Sword extract my Yang energy?" His body struggled violently as he pulled away frantically. The Wind and Cloud Pure Yang Sword hummed and trembled, the eyes of the two dragon heads shining brightly, while Cheng Linting's body gradually hunched over.

"Dr. Li, thank you," Madam Cheng and Butler Jin said as they saw the doctor out, and Cheng Yuan and the others quickly went to meet them.

Li Zhichen fell into a coma for another three days. This time, however, it was not physical, but a matter of his own heart's desire. When he woke up, he was no longer the person he had been three days ago; his expression had returned to a state of calm.

While speaking, the two arrived under a tree a hundred meters from the villa, from where they could clearly see the entire situation of the house.

Looking at his master's angry face, Cheng Nuo knew he was in for it today. Knowing his master was suppressing his temper and didn't have the habit of disciplining him in front of outsiders gave Cheng Nuo a sliver of comfort amidst his unease.

Wang Zihan sat on the ground, silently wiping the mysterious iron sword in her hand with a rag.

Seeing the atmosphere become awkward, the man who had spoken first reached out to pull Lan He aside, stood between the two of them, and continued discussing the previous topic.

Ji Lingfei added the QQ account, whose screen name was: Mr. Never Drunk. Mr. Never Drunk sent a message shortly after: "Wife, when do you get off work? Why did you run off yesterday after breaking your word?"
