Volume 1, Chapter 38: Slaying the Ancient Flame, Reclaiming the Dragon Spirit Sword Body

As more and more distress signals were sent out by the disciples of the Eternal Sword Palace, the anxiety in Gu Yan’s heart grew increasingly heavy.

"Damn it, why hasn't Shangguan Wushuang returned yet? Could it be that even he is unable to kill Sword Bluefish?"

Seeing this, Ling You and Yuan Pipi were both momentarily stunned, but they quickly dismissed it, thinking that there were plenty of people these days who would act arrogant one moment and obsequious the next.

He opened his mouth, desperately wanting to ask if it was Du Jining who had orchestrated the fate that befell Zhou Dongping, but the words died on his lips, and he swallowed them back.

After Ma Teng departed, Zhang Ning summoned Jia Xu to discuss other matters. Truth be told, although Jia Xu was nominally serving Ma Teng, it was still Zhang Ning with whom he consulted on most affairs.

In that very instant, countless streaks of black substance splashed across the room like crude oil, but the sorcerers, fortunately, were already wearing protective suits, so it mattered little.

Everything was understood without a word. After a long while, the two finally parted. Liu Bei turned and walked toward his own troops, the reluctance in his eyes replaced by a blazing fire. Swinging onto his horse, Liu Bei turned to look at Gongsun Zan once more, only to find him still standing at the city gate, watching him.

Since she was going to such great lengths to help him, it certainly couldn't be just for a generous salary; otherwise, she could have simply stayed by Rosemary’s side—why come to him? Chen Geng was very clear about this.

"Brother Hao, could you sell me one of these Sky Stealth jets as a private aircraft?" Fang Bing asked, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

The Great Song was an agricultural powerhouse, and its ministers, regardless of their standing, had to be well-versed in farming, for they naturally understood how vital experience was to cultivation.

As the roar of the man calling himself the "Big Brother Xuanxiao Qifeiming" echoed in his ears, a pale cyan radiance descended from the heavens, striking directly onto the forehead of Yarotan’s corpse, which had not yet completed its transformation.

Since he had heard the "footsteps" of the black horse Jun'er, Lu Yu understood that Yan Wushuang must be coming as well. He couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Damn it, as the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet. That really is true; it has been proven time and again with me and my nemesis, Yan Wushuang."

"I am not entirely sure about this, so I cannot say. I don't even know if Yilan would blame me if she found out I had spoken of it," Adams said.

This was the organization that held the lifeline of the global Traditional Chinese Medicine industry. A single decision by the Nanbo Association could determine the life or death of a TCM sect or institution, and this power was wielded by its four chairmen.

"I lean toward providing support. However, we will require adequate compensation. This is the future; who knows what will happen next? We are not a charitable organization. Furthermore, I suggest that some weapons of mass destruction could be utilized as part of the support," Qian Buhuan stated, expressing his opinion.

But Wang Zhiyuan’s words were far too cutting. Gao Hongfei was already in a foul mood today, and hearing his boss being belittled like that, he naturally had to push back.

Shen Yugui cursed under her breath as she stood before the gate of the sanatorium. Feeling the scrutinizing gaze behind her, she steeled herself and knocked on the door.

"The exits to the palace secret passages have all been guarded by enemy troops. How did they even get in?" Nalan Bolin pondered, his head bowed. This was the one thing he could not fathom; the secret passages of the palace were such classified intelligence, so how could their exits have been discovered?

Seeing the confident look in Chu Xiu’s eyes, Janna opened her mouth to speak. Could it be that the strength he had shown so far was merely the tip of the iceberg?
