Volume 1, Chapter 37: Seizing Management Rights

In fact, many sects in the cultivation world are proficient in the Heavenly Secrets Technique. The Evergreen Sect, Pure Yang Sect, and the three Buddhist temples all master this art, while the Supreme Sect and the Rebellious Fate Sect are true authorities in this field. The place he was heading to now was the Rebellious Fate Sect; to show off such tricks before them was tantamount to courting death.

The internal solution composition and microscopic structure of the supercapacitor remained unknown. It was only understood that using graphene as electrodes alone could not produce a supercapacitor. A supercapacitor made entirely of graphene was still a mere concept; proposing an idea and solving the problem were two entirely different matters.

Previously, just a few ghostly fire lamps exerted great pressure on everyone, even failing to protect two injured companions. Now, there were as many as eighteen ghostly fire lamps—how could they possibly fight under such circumstances?

The stout shopkeeper held the exquisite business card in his hand, feeling utterly lost in a fog until the guide brought him back, and only then did he gradually come to his senses.

According to Elder Fu, the efficacy of the Battle Blood Potion lasted about forty minutes. Surviving this period would see the potion's effect wane, and the body’s constitution would begin to change.

When Wenxin saw the dark evil crystal in Shiyao’s hand, she exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes suddenly brightening. However, upon hearing the price Shiyao quoted, she appeared greatly shocked and immediately wilted.

In normal circumstances, when hiring occurs, the employer holds the dominant position. Yet in a few popular industries, the hired party can set conditions and negotiate with the employer.

A fiery dragon surged forth violently. In an instant, the flames spread like an explosion beside the True Real of Fierce Sky. Along with the roaring fire dragon that charged toward the blue-clad enchanting ghost and the demonic dragon corpse of Earth Fiend, the flames rapidly engulfed the surroundings.

Then, amid solemn and majestic music, the True Real of the Hidden Hexagram handed over to him the sect leader's sword, robes, token, and most importantly, the authority of leadership.

Nineteen consecutive explosions rang out. These people had already heard news of Ye Qingcheng and knew she possessed such an item. Upon seeing her produce it, they had already prepared to protect themselves and flee.

Before his voice had faded, Zhang Ruyun sprang up like a startled swan, moving with unmatched swiftness as if trailing a radiant tail, rushing toward the foot of the mountain with lightning speed. In moments, he vanished into the night sky.

Li Xixi was not unfamiliar with the customs and folkways of the southern border. Her gaze was indifferent as she observed, showing no particular interest.

After a moment of thought, Wang Kai resumed clearing the wild monsters in the wilderness, abandoning the idea of invading the enemy’s territory.

Sun Yi, who had initially come simply to build good relations, suddenly leaned in closely, his ear attentive.

You’er still possessed a childlike heart and naturally did not overthink matters. She simply thought that her mother had not seen her and her elder brother for a long time, so she called them both over, even inquiring with the eunuch who delivered the edict whether the two princesses should be summoned as well. The eunuch insisted it was unnecessary, and she relented.

She still frequently left the palace, visiting the Princess of Hanyang’s residence in Qinren Lane, occasionally stopping by the southern village to see her maternal uncle. Sometimes, she would go incognito to the east and west markets to check on the Guo family’s shop for her mother, buying some novel trinkets to cheer her up.

Mu Qianxun never showed her emotions before strangers, especially not such distressing ones. Yet now, it seemed she could no longer contain herself, as if some sensitive string deep within her soul had been inadvertently touched.

Mo Lianxing saw Zhang Ruyun’s evident delight and felt her heart relax. Her intention in having Zhang Ruyun return the Dragon Fang had been to convey her feelings to Duan Jingtian. Having troubled Zhang Ruyun so much and now seeing she could help him, she felt some relief. She then disclosed the location of Langya Valley to Zhang Ruyun.

However, the figure of the Emperor Spirit suddenly appeared not far in front of him, his gaze a clear warning.

Raising his head, he saw him calmly enter, exuding an air of complete control as if everything was in his grasp.

King Jingzhao and Xie Hao responded simultaneously. King Jingzhao glanced sideways at Xie Hao and Qin Zongyan. Since his last failed attempt to seize the high-grade liquor formula from Qin Zongyan, he had viewed Qin with displeasure. Now, with his in-law also attempting to snatch Ping City from him, he disliked both men all the more.

Having entrusted the most important matters, Xiao Wanci intended to say a few more words to Qiu Guo and Xiyu, but faint footsteps echoed at the palace gate. She hurriedly lowered her head to arrange her dress and adjusted her hair.

“Let’s put this aside for now. There are many twists and turns—I’ll tell you when there’s time. I need to sleep.” With that, Su Xingrou hung up the phone abruptly.

Time seemed to stand still, an indescribable aesthetic aura captivating the hearts of everyone except Ke Le Haohua. The willow branches were not long, or at least appeared so. It seemed utterly unreachable to Ke Le Haohua, yet he knew in this moment he had been toppled by the wind.

Because Savi needed only an instant to battle a single shaman, he could strike all vital points on the shaman’s body and naturally choose the most lethal spot.

Lu Zhishen trembled with anger. Damn it, it was clear the imperial army had been plotting all along; every move was calculated. They were plainly intent on wiping them out.

From this perspective, Lin Chong’s feelings toward Song Jiang were also deeply complex. He secretly resented Song Jiang’s occasional ruthlessness, willing to stop at nothing to achieve his goals. Yet on the other hand, he could not help but be moved by the vision Song Jiang painted.

Taking several deep breaths to steady Savi’s mind, he closed his eyes, focusing his attention entirely on his right hand, then shifting it to the demon-repelling spear he held.

His kiss was both domineering and gentle. Perhaps fearing to startle her or mindful of her fragile state, he stopped after a brief taste, then held her close, pouring out the fears and anxieties he had endured during her unconsciousness.

However, on the surface, he naturally could not show any signs. After all, he was a lost soul, especially with those system types, which always depicted the protagonist exploding in charm and success after acquiring some system, romancing women, trampling foes, and living the high life.

Arsha trembled in fear, hastily withdrawing her hand, her eyes darting about in the darkness, searching.

The sailors still climbing ropes and hanging canvas shrank their necks, gripping the ropes tightly, unwilling to continue upward.

Seizing the moment, Yue Xuanyuan arrived. The timing was perfect; she even began to suspect someone had deliberately arranged it. The master and servant outside had already walked far away. Xu Miao slowly emerged from the rockery, standing there dazed, motionless for a long while.
