Volume 1, Chapter 31: Another Scheme Conceived

Zimo was inwardly shocked. The first task posed no real problem; although it would take time, it could eventually be tracked down. However, the second matter—Zimo grasped Ning Yue's true intent: barely having assumed the position of City Lord, he was already planning to subjugate other towns.

A little past two in the morning, the radar screen clearly showed the coastline north of Keelung. The port radio began broadcasting on a public channel, followed by signal lights from a pilot boat. A pilot boarded the Moon via a basket, guiding the massive yacht into the harbor.

Tian Yan realized he had reached a life-or-death juncture. If he did not stake everything on this fight, countless years of cultivation would be in vain. A vast inferno erupted from his body, completely engulfing him, and a fire dragon surged forth from within, roaring as it flew toward Ning Yue.

At this moment, Sect Master Huang took the full force of the lightning tribulation. He could barely suppress a mouthful of blood as he collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing violently. The intensity of the spasms was severe, and his face was etched with agony.

This Foundation Establishment Pill was a trophy he had seized after killing Lei Cang in the White Lotus Secret Realm. He had originally obtained two and planned to use one for his own foundation establishment. Unexpectedly, forced by the Rending Wave Kun, he had achieved foundation establishment before he could ever use it.

With a deafening "bang," a pillar of flame shot down from the heights toward Zhou Tianyu. The sudden attack caused the cautious Zhou Tianyu to instinctively retreat, his body pulling back like a wild goose to a safe distance.

Lu Yun nodded and smiled. "It is fine. Since the old curator will not see guests, I shall not intrude further." For Lu Yun, the doubts in his heart could remain or vanish; leaving them as a mass of question marks made no difference.

"Stop your flirting outside and get in here at once!!!!" Finally, someone in the room could take no more. Lord Mengshan, sitting in the seat of honor, glared at Lu Yun with a face as dark as iron.

Without waiting for Xu Chen’s consent, he sat down with a thud and gestured for his subordinates to join him in drinking.

Li Yi’s past displays of wisdom had earned him the absolute trust of his teammates, making him their first choice for communication. But now, a problem arose: he was pinned down and had no time to look for clues, let alone find his other teammates.

The Primordial True Art was a type of spiritual skill involving materialization of spiritual energy. Such techniques commanded a high price on the market and were certainly not common.

After the incident where the morale-boosting card disappeared, Li Yi was now alert. He tucked the hint card into his pocket the moment he received it, without even looking at it.

That was during the "Running Man" concert, where Baby lavished praise on Li Yi’s creativity. The pride in her voice was as if she were the one who had created it all—a pride that welled up from the depths of her heart.

Though she agreed with her mouth, Yun Shu did not take the matter to heart. Dealing with Xi Yao was not the most pressing priority; what mattered more right now was the visit to the Marquis of Fuyuan’s estate.

They had originally thought it was merely Dipankara抢先 establishing a sect before Styx, but they had not expected the shadow of Kunpeng behind it all.

Discovering he had let out a cry, A-Jian quickly covered his mouth, grabbed Bellemere, and crouched down.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear; Chen Qing and Chu Ning arrived. The young couple appeared together, wearing custom-made matching outfits. With their talent, beauty, and stature, they were an exceptionally pleasing sight.

After Yan Xi finished the paperwork, met her colleagues, was introduced to her direct supervisor, and toured the Ministry of Defense sector, the day was nearly over.

Seeing no sign of Shaoyu, Fuxi’s expression turned chillingly cold. She swept her gaze across the crowd in the great hall and flew away in frustration.

Lan Yu immediately ran to inform Tang Yunshuang. Upon hearing the news, Tang Yunshuang also felt something was amiss. As the son of a high-ranking official, Murong Xuan’s confession, though unwitnessed, was still a bitter rejection.

Yet, he did not realize that an action he deemed trivial could be of vital importance to ordinary people, perhaps even a turning point in their fate.

Subsequently, Zhao Weiyang struck Hua Tuo, filling his health bar. This did not mean Hua Tuo was more durable than Jiang Wei, but rather that Jiang Wei was suffering from demon fire and his defense was too low. Zhao Weiyang landed a second and third blow, but Hua Tuo stood unmoved!

"What?!" He blamed himself for being so lost in thought that he had not noticed the movement around him.

The Duanmu family was wealthy; the old matriarch was unwilling to stay in a hospital, so a ward had been set up in their home, equipped with devices no less advanced than those in any hospital.

The technology Li Xing gave to Yang Yinguang was the relatively rudimentary "physical energy suppression." Given the technological level of the Silver Heart Empire, they could master it as soon as they obtained it.

She stood there, gazing at the ravaged remains of Yonghe; the tearing pain in her heart made her forget everything else.

Yet, the Kingdom of Shu broke convention once again, with three warriors—Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yan—charging straight down the middle lane. Wei Yan and Zhang Fei even plunged directly toward the opponent's slope. Had they taken the wrong path?

Guo Yan looked at Fang Xu with some surprise. At the very least, at that moment, she was stunned by the lingering ferocity radiating from him.

It would have been better not to mention it; the mere mention set Min Qingrou’s heart ablaze with rage. Now, with her enemy still at large, she could do nothing! How could she not feel hateful?
