31 The Solitary Official

With insufficient manpower, he had no choice but to borrow people from other gangs. Not only did it cost a small fortune, but he also had to promise to provide compensation for any casualties.

A perfectly round baby face featured deep, dark purple sunken eyes, while its mouth spat out pale black venom capable of inflicting death.

"A reclusive Dragon Knight? Are they really that strong? How could they be slain so easily?" Zixue wondered aloud, contemplating what methods the opponent might have used.

In the distance, upon seeing the aura emanating from that beast bone, Chu Haotian nearly fell off the back of his Gale-Splitter.

After killing Xiao Long, I left the Fire Wind Gang and headed toward the far west. The lair of that ghost creature was deep in the primeval mountains of the great west, a place rarely visited by anyone; if an ordinary person were to wander in, they would never return.

"What good is gaining two hundred experience points? I can no longer practice the Ghost Path!" Lin Ming’s tone was filled with disappointment.

As the man spoke, a tear splashed onto the ground—it was a tear of genuine regret.

"..." Izuru Kira gasped, his yellow, slanted bangs fluttering in the breeze.

There was no doubt that Yang Yilei had been lying to me all along. The old ghost had never told me the truth; from the very beginning, he had intended to use me, even exploiting my weakness for sentimental attachments by having Yang Chen and the others come to act as lobbyists.

"Clan Elder, man proposes, God disposes. You did not intend for this to happen, so there is no need to blame yourself." Hearing this, Liu Yang sighed; so this was how the Qin family had risen to power. It was no wonder the Liu family remained so quiet—it was a difficult story to tell.

Across the rows of rooftops stood a forest of crosses. Along the spacious, tidy streets, people with calm and serene expressions strolled slowly.

Tirion’s voice was abruptly interrupted. The Paladin paused, his expression twisting slightly as if he were suppressing something.

In truth, it was Liu Chuan Youren who had hidden Nishikawa Harano and Nishikawa Heichi; Ichikawa Goro was a dangerous individual, and they could not be allowed to come into contact with him.

Four figures darted through the freezing high altitude, moving with such lightning speed that they were clearly all at the Primordial Spirit stage.

To steal the secrets of heaven, one must act without the Heavenly Dao noticing. However, Wu Tian had already successfully utilized his Heavenly Secret Calculation to pave a way to obscure the Heavenly Dao. If this creature could still steal secrets while the Heavenly Dao was interfering, Wu Tian would flee immediately.

Sensing the rapidly approaching crisis, Wu Tian did not hesitate; he pulled out his boundary token and instantly teleported back to the Middle Earth Great World.

The word "long live" had not yet left his lips when a scorching bullet pierced his chest. His body swayed, and he collapsed with a crash.

"What did you say? Father has a profound cultivation base, having already reached the ninth layer of the Divine Ability Realm—the Life Soul Stage. How many people in this world could possibly harm him? How could he be injured this time?" Upon hearing that Ye Rui was hurt, Ye Heng’s complexion turned ghastly.

Seeing that both of them were about to perish, the Black Stone Sword hanging in mid-air seemed to sense the danger facing Ye Qingyun. The blade hummed, and a surge of black light erupted from it, transforming into a pitch-black sword aura that surged into the sky.

A steady supply of magical energy and super-efficient production capabilities broke the tranquility of Dolihachi City. The elimination of sand worms and the "descent of angels" draped the Alibaba Group in a sacred cloak, and their reputation became unparalleled.

"This is a new move I’m going to teach you, called 'Fake Crying,'" Zhao Chen said with a straight face.

Clearly, the methods written above referred to something else, and this object was definitely not the Matrix Key. If that was the case, then what exactly was the Matrix Key? If it wasn't the key to prevent the Cloud from launching, what was its true purpose?

Liu Yunyi did not expose her. She applied makeup to cover her birthmark and added a light touch of color to her pale face to give it a healthy glow, then donned casual attire and boarded a carriage.

She stared intently at the chicken leg, then, with a look of resignation, forced herself to put the green vegetables into her mouth.

"I’m usually quite busy. Aside from classes, I have to take on holiday jobs, so I haven't been able to come see you," Lin Jing replied politely.

Who would have thought that just as she reached the door, she would hear Feng Lian’s characteristically gentle voice from behind her.

Shi Mianmian tried her best to widen her eyes, puffing out her cheeks with a fierce, threatening expression as she demanded an answer.

When I woke up, the first thing to catch my eye was the gold-gilded gauze curtain, followed by the brilliant, blinding light of the midday sun.

However, at that moment, a green ray of light, relying on a mountain-like artifact, charged out of the space behind the monster with thunderous force.

Before them lay a world filled with swirling yellow sand, looking somewhat similar to the Shattered Gold Ruins.

Even Alaric’s communication frequency had vanished, as if he had completely evaporated from the universe.

Through the method of hypnotic transmission, seventy-two common mortal languages and basic cultivation languages were implanted, though the activation of these was handled by the sub-system’s sprite.

For some unknown reason, the purity and concentration of the longevity spiritual energy around this person were more than a hundred times greater than anywhere else.

"Alright, stop arguing! Even if the Sword Douluo were resurrected, he would just die again; his combat power is insufficient! Do not waste such a supreme resurrection skill." The God of Emotions snapped, then grabbed Oscar by the throat.

At this time, Yan Fei had prepared instant noodles for Arthur and the others. They ate together and began to recount the events of the day.

When Zu Junyan saw this, his heart skipped a beat. Although he was not a doctor, few Chinese scholars were unfamiliar with medical theory, and he understood a little medicine himself.

Since half a month ago, Xia Feng had completely severed all cooperation with the Liye family. At that time, he was about to launch an all-out looting war on Notting City and had no time to worry about light manganese ore smuggling.

In this current era, the emergence of such an existence was truly extraordinary and sent shockwaves throughout the Eastern Region.

Before he could finish speaking, the hesitant subordinate had his forehead blown open by a musket; brains and blood sprayed the faces of the lackeys standing behind him.

Tian Huan felt utterly disappointed. He had been excitedly looking forward to Su Junhua fully unleashing and expressing a man's dominance and strength, but he hadn't expected such a frustrating result.

Our Master Yuan was about to say something, but just then, Aiter brought the drinks. He had no choice but to take a sip of his "stirred, not shaken, vodka martini" and take a moment to collect his thoughts.

Liu Yi surprisingly asked for no favors and agreed, heading upstairs. I knew what Zhao Guangdong meant. When I saw that piece of yellow cloth, I actually had some understanding of its origins; it likely had a great deal to do with the imperial coffin from that story.
