Volume One, Chapter 42: Catching Them in the Act

Xiao Jing and Shao Ning sighed deeply upon hearing this. They conversed very congenially, feeling a strong sense of having met too late; meanwhile, Lady Liu was feeling depressed and needed to clear her mind. After a brief discussion among the four of them, they chose a scenic, roundabout path as they walked toward the county town, treating it as a way to relax.

When Sun Buxing offered this excuse, he thought nothing of it, but Huang Liang, who was listening nearby, grew anxious. Disregarding all notions of hierarchy and propriety, he raised his voice and directly criticized Sun Buxing's idea.

Xiao Jing gently pulled his wife into his arms, comforting her in a low voice while wiping away the traces and beads of his wife's tears.

Startled awake from a semi-sleep state, Xiao Jing gave a great jump. He knew there were guards stationed at the door, so anyone bursting in so recklessly must be one of their own; however, anyone whose sleep cycle is interrupted experiences a vague sense of dread, and he was no exception.

"What kind of chief of staff are you, coming up with a detour like that? Once we take a detour, the enemy can casually dispatch some troops to tail us, and we'll be in for a world of pain. This is utter nonsense," Chen Fei said, giving Old Mantou a sideways glance.

If he had not infiltrated in this manner, it would have been extremely difficult for Hagoromo to enter the Hidden Stone Village without alerting the enemy.

Since the battle began, the contacts between Hagoromo and Obito had numbered only four just now, with the first two and last two matching identically, thereby fulfilling the activation conditions of a certain dojutsu.

Although Sun Buxing could currently unleash only ten or twenty percent of the ancient lamp's true power, this heart-lamp had been blessed by the Buddhist spiritual power of generations of eminent monks at Lengqie Temple throughout the ages, long transcending ordinary magical treasures, and possessed an extremely strong restraining effect especially against demonic arts.

The Three-One Teaching originally flourished in Putian and Xianyou counties, and at its peak expanded to the Central Plains and the northern regions, with even many officials in the imperial court practicing it.

He had plenty of such items anyway, and to win someone over, one must show sincerity. Sun Buxing believed that for the sake of her younger sister's better recovery, Bai Suzhen would eventually choose to join the Nine Dragons Hidden Dragon Bureau.

He even forgot the vow he had made back then—never to set foot in the imperial capital until he defeated the Bi family! He boarded a private jet together with Bi Qianmo.

When Su Zimo sang the first line with her pure voice, Su Xi'er, who had been trembling violently, paused slightly. As the singing began, she gradually calmed down, her crying lessened significantly, leaving only pitiful, heartbreaking sobs.

As his movements began, the protective spiritual energy surrounding his body instantly became exceptionally fluid. It was like the wind blowing away those flames, and like a swirling vortex smoothly swallowing up the strands of sword Qi.

Lin Bixiao's cheeks flushed red as she tried to withdraw her hand from Bi Qianmo's grip, but she did not succeed.

Although she knew hunters possessed formidable strength, this display was still a bit much for Yuan Xing to accept. Was this even human?

According to information from captured holy-tier plane plunderers, this enemy would definitely include two Cosmic Emperors above the fifth tier, while Cosmic Emperors from the first to third tiers would definitely exceed a thousand.

For a moment, gunshots rang out continuously both inside and outside, and the resistance of the Sha family grew increasingly feeble.

Leaving aside Xie Guangyao, even the prominent and influential figures of Liangdu, after coming to pay their respects to Old Huang and Zi Lingtian, retreated far away. Old Huang and Zi Lingtian were figures of the same tier, and people like them were simply not qualified to sit with the two of them.

The divine statue sunken at the bottom of the well looked upward. It seemed to see the battle in the skies across the sea, and it also seemed to perceive the predicament of the two through the reflection in the water.

The body of an elementary Martial King plummeted violently to the ground like a meteorite, smashing a deep crater into the earth.

Yet, she lost the courage to reply, silently praying in her heart that he would have a safe journey.

Su Weiliang took a step back, her bare feet touching the ground and feeling slightly chilly. She did not know what she had stepped on during her run here, which had left her feet covered in scars.

Yan Luoxi slipped away so frequently that someone as suspicious as Li An naturally assumed she must have gone to see that triumphant Asia-Pacific director, and that she had no desire to stay and accompany him.

When Song Yun returned to the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, the place was already plunged in panic. The Wang family was a major power in the Leiyun Empire, and the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce was simply no match for them. With Song Yun disappearing at this moment, many members of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce truly saw no hope.

"I asked about it. Vice County Magistrate Zhang didn't dare hand the matter over to the Disciplinary Inspection Commission because this material involves officials within the commission, and he was afraid someone there might tamper with it and destroy the criminal evidence," Zhao Mingxiang replied.

However, when some extraordinarily lucky pilots of the European Joint Fleet burst out in a daze through the interception of the "Dart's Edge," intending to make trouble for the Chinese Federal "Meteor-style" medium bombers, they were astonished to find that those bombers had already turned around and were on their way back to Butterfly City.

At this moment, Yuan Tianding and Xiao Yihan were also looking at Song Yun with tense expressions. As for Song Yun's actual condition right now, even his master Xiao Yihan had no idea. But one thing was certain: Song Yun's soul power was still as weak as before.

When almost everyone had arrived, the top executives, shareholders, and true celebrities and wealthy elites in the inner hall of Queen Records were led by Wu Zheng into the outer hall, with Ye Qing and Zhou Wei prominently among them.

The dark shadow did not say a single word, vanishing from the room in a flash as if it had never appeared at all.

The stone pillar had been pushed aside, but another beam overhead creaked loudly, instantly snapping and crashing down toward the tops of their heads.

With some difficulty, she turned her head to look at Shangguan Ye. Shangguan Ye stood right beside Shen Yiyan, maintaining his usual calm demeanor, looking just like he had at the imperial banquet—the shining young heir.

He had always been reluctant to judge others with malicious intent, especially since the object of consideration this time was Shangguan Ye.

Hundreds of bone kites catapulted out in all directions, darting flexibly through the streets and buildings of Ancient Moon Village like nocturnal bats.

Because within Luoguang Province, there were a total of forty-nine prefectures, while across the entire Myriad Clans Domain, there were a full nine provinces.

Behind Fang Wu's headless corpse was the back of [Sinful Purity Double Sickles], facing Fang Wu and wielding a pair of massive sickles.

"Main God." Xinghe looked somewhat helplessly toward the Star Main God, never expecting things to turn out this way.
