Volume 1, Chapter 49: Exiled to the Dome Prison

Standing before them was an extremely tall skeleton, its entire body glowing with a faint greenish phosphorescence and wreathed in wisps of black Qi, looking identical to the fierce ghosts and malignant spirits trailing behind it.

Chetkovich was panic-stricken. He had not expected that while locked in a tense stalemate with the Freemasons, the Rothschild family would still manage to dispatch personnel. Moreover, it was blatantly targeted at him. With no other choice, he had no option but to swallow this bitter pill temporarily and make full preparations to withstand the Rothschilds' retaliation.

Xu Xuan was momentarily stunned. Although he was a prominent figure of a major clan in Wanfang City and held an exalted status, spending fifty thousand spiritual stones to buy a concubine still exceeded his imagination.

Amidst the chaos, the mute monk simply shook his head and waved his hands, attempting to walk closer, only to provoke a chorus of shrieks.

Faced with the immortalist's habitual sarcasm, anyone else might have jumped to their feet. For instance, Niu Gao's dark face had already darkened, looking very much as though he wanted to set up a dye and seasoning shop right across Wei Ye's face.

The monk and his companion were chatting animatedly, and Wei Ye understood everything after eavesdropping. Pondering for a moment, since the monk spoke of the bitter winter chill and mentioned that an entire pond's worth of households had perished without heirs, yet still intended to spend the summer retreat right there in the pond, there was an eighty percent chance he was an aquatic sprite, much like Jiang Youping.

The sound of the piano had just ceased, and the human voices grew lower as well. At that very moment, Lin Feng spoke these words aloud, leaving everyone momentarily stunned. They turned their heads to gaze at Lin Feng and Liu Ruxi, never expecting anyone to propose marriage on such an occasion, yet... yet it was also overwhelmingly romantic.

Kuang Min knew that Qin Wan's gesture was less about him choosing someone capable, and more about selecting someone who could serve by her side—someone neither too cowardly nor overly ambitious, and ideally with outstanding appearance and demeanor that inspired immediate trust. After pondering for a long time, he pointed out a junior court eunuch named Sun Xiangji.

"Stop! He's Luhan's boyfriend!" Having witnessed the strength of the two cultivators, Zhang Dinglong was terrified that Lu Feng might get hurt, and hurriedly shouted out.

"That man was willing to risk his life to help your first and second aunts slander your mother, so he must have had an ulterior motive. He could not have failed to anticipate being killed by your father, which means he was trading his life for a very important matter or some kind of item. Feng Qi, did that man have any friends or family members?" Shui Tianlan frowned and asked.

However, as an elder male relative, it was not his place to say too much. After giving Wen Ke a couple of pointers, he left for the company ahead of time, intentionally leaving private space for the two of them.

"So what? People confess to him and he leaves them hanging? I couldn't tell he was such a scumbag," Cheng Weiwei said.

Releasing the Fuchuan directly in the port, the two colossal vessels shocked the two Ouyang brothers.

Looking toward the due east, at a visual distance estimated to exceed seven kilometers, even I could only make out a vague figure, yet in the blink of an eye, that figure appeared crystal clear within my field of vision.

Qin Qing could not sleep. She had thought she would get a good night's rest, but with her eyes closed, sleep eluded her. Opening her eyes to gaze at the face before her, a tangled web of emotions surged within her heart. In the dead of night, returning to her homeland only brought massive boulders rolling onto her chest, weighing her down until she could barely breathe.

"Just a moment ago, I sensed an extremely pure demonic Qi coming from the east!" Lilith explained.

This Yamazaki Entertainment Club was one of the premier high-end establishments across the entire western region of Sakura Country. Those who frequented this nightclub were generally either wealthy or noble, simply because it was the turf of the Yamazaki Faction, one of the three major powers in Sakura Country. No matter how the outside world changed, within the Yamazaki Entertainment Club, the nightlife of music and dancing continued in perpetual peace and prosperity.

"If you are all going, I'll go too. It just so happens I have nothing else to do," Chu Qingchan suddenly chimed in.

Getting into the car, Qin Yunhe took the driver's seat while he sat in the front passenger seat, ready to set off. If they didn't leave early, there would probably be quite a large crowd on Sunday.

Meeting his scrutinizing gaze, Meng Litong did not flinch in the least. Her eyes remained calm, radiating a sense of complete a clear conscience.

Tian Tian's assassination occurred within minutes of Gu Bei's departure. No one else was present at the time, and now there was only Gu Bei's side of the story. This was certainly no coincidence; Gu Bei must have played a role in it. Furthermore, Gu Bei seemed deeply distrustful of the police, withholding the full truth and concealing something.

Arriving for the first time in a new continent—an absolute stranger to the environment—not only did he fail to arouse suspicion, but he also incurred no enmity whatsoever. He entered peacefully and, within a mere single day, gained a fundamental understanding of this world's situation.

A night passed in the blink of an eye. Yang Bo opened his eyes, his expression utterly exhausted, and he let out a soft sigh.

The flying vehicle streaked like a silver light from beyond the heavens, plunging into the Great Rotten Country with the speed of thunder and lightning. Along the riverbank, the once-calm shores were already blood-stained, and a dead silence filled every corner.

The Yangxin Hall was not only the largest building in the entire Imperial Capital, but also the largest in the entire Dawu Dynasty, surpassing even the scale of the National Teacher's Hall.

When the autonomous modification function was activated, Jiang Liushi had already been drawing blueprints. The modifications relied entirely on his imagination during the process, and a clear blueprint could help him accomplish this step smoothly.

Emerging from the shopping mall, Shen Chongwu was so overjoyed he was dancing with excitement, humming military songs all the way while driving, feeling that acknowledging Wang Jing as his master was the luckiest thing in his life.

As she spoke, Shen Danhua could not help but stroke the tortoise shell with her hand. At the exact spot where she stroked, there were two distinct cracks.

"You are all quite mistaken. I've only recently been able to eat the meals he cooks; normally I don't get to eat them at all. When he cultivates, he remains in seclusion for months at a time, or goes out for periods ranging from several months to several years. Back then, getting a single meal from him was exceptionally difficult."

"Slap..." Han Xu suddenly slammed his hand down onto the sandalwood table in front of him. The tremendous force shattered the sandalwood table into flying wood chips and left a massive indentation, causing everyone present to instantly fall silent.

Ji Fangfei's eyes widened abruptly. She looked at余晓丰 (Yu Xiaofeng), then pointed at Wang Peng, unable to utter a word.

"That's right, Ermao, I heard from Kun Ge that he's about to be discharged and transferred back," Fat Liu suddenly said out of nowhere.

Although Xiao Rang was still young, his entire person exuded an indescribable aura, resembling a silent, towering mountain standing right before one's eyes. Every gesture he made carried a palpable presence. Even though he wore a smile, it still exerted a silent pressure upon others.
