Volume 1, Chapter 38: Officials Arrive with Congratulations, Undercurrents Surge!
Luo Qiang laughed, "Haha, I just wonder if the fish will take the bait. Why don't we add some more fuel to the fire before we go to meet up with the disciples of the Rakshasa Gate?" Luo Qiang wanted to add one final push to the situation to increase the odds of success.
"Haha, why must the Moon God be so angry? I merely happened to sense your aura and came to visit an old friend from ten thousand years ago!" A wicked, long laugh echoed from within the rolling black mist.
"I believe that since we intend to deal with the Jin family, we should investigate them through official channels. That way, they won't be able to obstruct us so blatantly," Yang Fan suggested.
"I've examined them. Although the components of these viruses are bizarre and tricky, it will take at most two days to develop a cure. I just don't know what the progress is like on Lin Tian's end," Buster said.
The drift ship was heavily loaded, but it certainly would not crash due to overloading as Gu Qiu had claimed. As the ship activated its secondary power system, those two systems working in tandem allowed the vessel, bearing seventy tons of metal, to land safely on the metal planet inhabited by the Titanium race.
"Is that so? Whether or not I can walk out of here is not for you to decide!" Lin Tian said, staring at Tian Yuan.
She hoped she was merely worrying over nothing and that Ling Mengqi was truly too busy with official duties to find time to see her.
The wound on her finger had healed completely, leaving only a faint scar. Nanmen Zun had somehow procured some medicine and tossed it to her without a word. She applied it every day; she did not want such an unsightly scar to remain on her body.
It could be said that if the space outside the wormhole had already been occupied by the Gamma people, Malone and his party would likely not have entered so easily; a fierce battle would have been inevitable. Thinking about it, they were quite lucky; perhaps the Gamma people had not yet had the chance to focus their strategic objectives on the wormhole.
The boss, Jia Wei, nodded. He remembered this matter very clearly. At the time, the Sentinel software was actually developing quite well, and many investors were ready to provide funding and add embedded advertisements. However, because of the appearance of the New World Assistant, Sentinel was immediately crushed.
New World games rarely had official pinned posts; regular users of New World knew this, so seeing a rare official post, everyone could not help but click out of curiosity.
"We'll talk about going to the bathhouse tonight when I get back!" Huang Qikun patted the tall and thin Yu Qinglang, then strode toward the scheming fat man.
The legacy disciples of these top-tier factions possessed a complete set of secret techniques that complemented their sect's cultivation methods. They had no obvious weaknesses, and it was only through the combination of these techniques that they achieved power far exceeding that of other cultivators of the same rank.
For this metal-element spirit beast, which shared the deepest bond with him and was viewed as a brother, it was one of the young man's greatest sources of distress.
Could he understand this point? How long would it take for him to realize it? Why must the silkworm wait until death to exhaust its silk?
The three remaining sorcerers retreated slowly, gradually drawing together, their eyes filled with hatred and fear. These were among the most powerful of their sorcerers; if they all died here, the war against the South Sea Poison Sect would truly be lost.
A thought of fleeing suddenly arose in Yun Shan's mind. He had truly gained nothing and lost much this time. He had intended to see what treasures the man named Zhang Xusheng possessed that made Zhou An so obsessed, and if they might be of any help to him, but he had never expected to invite such trouble. Fortunately, he had not suffered any major losses.
First was Zhou Jianjun, a burly man from the North, who was actually staring at the screen with reddened eyes, completely mesmerized.
Strangely, it had been a week since Zang Tianming came to find Lin Di, yet none of the Chinese teams participating in the competition had approached him, which left Lin Di somewhat puzzled.
She had only just returned a short while ago; were these people already so impatient? Aside from the Zhao family, these servants were also starting to stir up trouble.
They found the cave the villagers spoke of and discovered a creature inside the size of a tiger; it was highly likely the exotic beast they were looking for.
Sister-in-law Xia was also terrified. Stimulated by one incident after another, a wave of guilt washed over her. Even if Xia E had hacked her to death that day, it would have been understandable. She confessed the entire sequence of events.
The commotion lasted until late into the night before it finally settled. Everyone returned to their rooms, and Lin Siwei took a deep breath.
Bai Ranran looked at her in confusion, only to hear Xi Bei say, "I want you to write a letter, stating that you have had a change of heart, fallen in love with Wei Tongguang, and have already eloped with him." As soon as Xi Bei finished speaking, Wei Tongguang, who was sitting to the side watching the fun, spat out a mouthful of hot tea.
However, she had to maintain the appearance of being delicate and soft-hearted; if her parents' plan ultimately failed, she could still make a clean getaway.
Seeing that Lin Siwei finally relented, Lin Chuyue, though unwilling in her heart, knew that given Lin Siwei's demeanor, if she did not lead the way herself, Lin Siwei would likely not go.
"I will head out of the city to take a look; please help me take care of her," Zhuang Zhao said, packing a simple case before heading out.
Finding strength from somewhere, she moved the tables and chairs outside so that Long Yuhe could wash and dry them.
At this time, the intelligence agents from various countries monitoring Comoros discovered that the Comoros military, which had been restored to full strength, had suddenly vanished. To be precise, the army had disappeared; only a few duty units remained in the country, while the rest had vanished without a trace.
Although before the meeting, all the Yama Kings, including those from Cang Yun, knew the agenda and that the meeting concerned how to deal with Ping Qing and Ping Jian, when the critical moment arrived and they faced a major choice, not a single cultivator could easily provide a conclusion.
The same scenario played out repeatedly among the cultivators of both sides, in every corner of the battlefield.
After walking for some time, the outline of an earthen city appeared in the distance. Before I could even approach, a squadron of over a hundred Asura soldiers came roaring toward me and, without a word, began to attack.
As Yun Cheng watched the computer alone, a figure entered from behind, wrapping arms around him and watching him browse the web, a cool cheek pressing against his own.
"Alright, please sit still." With that, two seatbelts automatically extended from beneath the seats, wrapping around their bodies and securing them in place.
"Alright, those who wish to join may return to your planets to discuss it. Registration officially begins tomorrow! I won't see you out!" Lin Weiwei finally said.
Yang Shenglong, the manor lord named after Shenglong Manor, represented the entire manor's recognition of him.
Cang Yun held Gouchen, and through the conduction wire, he could feel the Terminator's perfection and power; it was constantly transmitting laws through the wire, attempting to consume Gouchen. Gouchen had previously failed to resist even the standards of a Green-Clawed Terminator, and although precautions had been taken in advance, it was only a matter of time before it was devoured by the Terminator.
