Volume 1, Chapter 61: The Truth

The carriage moved through the gloomy streets, with a few lanterns occasionally swaying in the night wind. Lu Yunduan lifted the curtain, gazing at the street scene as they gradually moved away from the city center, a slight frown resting on her brow.

Looking at the monitor showing Su Sheng chasing after them with an exhausted giant cannon, the commander and the adjutant were scared out of their wits.

Su Sheng suddenly soared into the air, her overpowering aura suppressing the entire era. At the same time, heroes across the world simultaneously raised their heads to look at the firmament.

In her past life, she was such a handful that Gu Junhan devoted almost all his energy to her, leaving him very little time to look after Grandmother Gu.

Though it was an ordinary wedding dress, when worn by her, it seemed enhanced by a beauty filter, magnifying her allure tenfold.

Lu Jin clearly sensed the shift in Xie Hontong's attitude, but he was not flustered in the least.

At the very top was an oversized round table, in the center of which stood eight flags, pierced by a medieval greatsword. Two serpents intertwined around it, with an eagle perched above and a lion crouching below, while a radiant golden sunflower hung high in the air.

Fang Munan had not answered Ning Jing's calls for the past two days. With matters here unresolved, he dared not contact her, fearing he would bring trouble upon her.

Matsuda looked at the untouched set meal in front of Sonoko, wondering if she was feeling unwell or lacked an appetite. Yet she didn't seem... As the dark-skinned, handsome face flashed through his mind, could it be that she had broken up with that exceptionally skilled martial artist, Makoto Kyogoku?

Upon hearing this, Megure Juzo immediately ordered Takagi to take men to the suspect's house, where Sugimori's bloodstains were indeed found on Inaba's motorcycle gloves and handlebars.

"You have received a cultivation manual from Sun Wukong, which has been unpacked and placed in your storage shelf." Mu An'an tapped on the red envelope.

Or rather, since Suyang had already practiced the three primordial supreme scriptures recorded in the Primordial Master Codex and possessed an exceptional foundation, encountering no difficulties in cultivating this new primordial scripture was naturally a given.

Knowledge is power, but knowledge must be transformed before it can become power; without transformation, knowledge remains merely knowledge. Qian Xuesen could build rockets and launch satellites in New China; yet had he lived in the Song Dynasty, he could never have launched a satellite into space in his entire lifetime, because the hardware conditions were inadequate—no matter how strong the software, it would be useless.

Originally, even between hostile nations engaged in fierce combat, envoys would still be mutually dispatched to communicate and maintain contact. Back when the Song Dynasty fought the Liao Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty fought Western Xia, the front lines were ablaze with fierce battles and corpses littering the ground; yet in the rear, the envoys chatted and negotiated most cordially.

"False Cloud, aren't you celebrating a little too early? Even if you have shifted space, you may not necessarily be able to open the ancient ruins! We will stop you!" Long Miekong said coldly.

However, to let Li Gang take charge of the navy and build it truly made Zhao Pu uneasy. Yet even with his misgivings, he had to bite the bullet and devolve power to let him do it. Meanwhile, reports regarding naval construction progress and the situation in Quanzhou arrived through various channels, with truths and falsehoods mixed together.

With a slight change in his expression, if Yao Shun abandoned the attack above to directly strike the Third Eye, he would inevitably be hit by the golden energy descending from overhead. Left with no choice, he had to thrust both palms upward, unleashing the formidable power of an eighth-tier saint.

"Of course they were hesitant at first, but after I analyzed the situation with them in detail, they agreed. What can compare to one's own life, right?" Bai Tianhe simply repeated the reasoning Bai Zikang had used to persuade him the night before to those few friends of his, and sure enough, they all agreed.

Having no other choice, Qin Yuan could only casually find some topics to talk with Wenwen, diverting the attention of them both.

"You!" The old man was furious, jumping with rage, yet he dared not do anything. After all, he was no fool; since Nie Tianxing was capable of killing Zhong Shan, he was equally capable of killing him. Naturally, he dared not act rashly.

Rubbing his nose, Qin Yuan turned around and instinctively reached out to grasp the proud, full curves pressing against his arm.

Suddenly remembering the second princess who had appeared in the corridor, he narrowed his cold eyes, abruptly stopped the car, and dialed Qin Siqing's phone.

Seeing those blade-like winds laden with icy chills flying right before his eyes, the eerie light in his eyes flickered a few times.

However, although they had waited for the 'fish', they were unable to swallow these 'fish'. The thousand warriors led by Feng Qiuzi and the Great Chieftain were torn to pieces by Hongxian's forces. Watching Hongxian and her group break through the valley mouth and finally charge out of the mountain pass, they were powerless to stop them.

Rong Jian casually mentioned Feng Rubing, and Mu Yu immediately thought of their breakup, a somewhat unsettled feeling stirring in her heart.

When Su Xi left, she kicked the cave entrance to collapse it, burying the opening to prevent those people from escaping.

"Director Wang, the technical department is all set!" Gao Simiao looked at the technical staff inside the director's office and said.

"Get to the point." Geng Haoshi most detested the system lecturing him on such profound and unfathomable systematic principles.

"However, my lord, on what charge should we impeach him? Shall we accuse him of fleeing from battle in the face of danger? Or of defecting to the enemy and committing treason? Or of incompetent leadership? We must come up with some formal pretext before we can convict him." Zhang Qianxuo seized the opportunity to hint to the army supervisor.

"If you pin it on me, I'll say you provided the tip. How about that?" Mufu's lips curved upward as she offered a breezy retort.

Bursting arrows could only be used at long range and were useless during close-quarters combat between armies, as they would inflict casualties on friendly forces.

He worried that the people who attacked the headquarters of the Tianshi Sect would also find an opportunity to strike at him. The fact that they dared to target the Tianshi Sect's headquarters indicated that these people were no ordinary individuals.

The pickup truck did not stop; instead, it continued to drive forward slowly. Cheng Teli leaped aside, drew his handgun, and ordered the driver to halt.

At these words, everyone fell silent. Xianglong himself knew full well that no matter how valuable those six chests of jewels were, there should still be limits when it came to building the guild. After all, the expenses for Gailuo's wedding plus the ten chests of money from Master Yang were bound to be substantial.

Seeing nothing related to opening the stone door, he noticed that a protruding rock in the right-side tunnel was somewhat sharp. A thought stirred in his mind as he turned around, pressed his back against the stone, and began to rub against it forcefully.
