Chapter 67: Forcing Jian Tang to Stay by His Side

Early in the morning, Jian Tang received a call from Attorney Liu Del. "Shen Chunmei has abandoned her plan to relocate the cemetery."

Jian Tang had just woken up and her mind was still a bit hazy. After hearing Liu Del's words, it took her a long time to process. "...What did Shen Suinian give her to buy her off?"

Six fiery flood dragons executed a turn, increasing to eight, and coiled around the four puppet bodies, lunging directly to slaughter the four of them.

Although neither its linear speed nor its explosive power could be considered the absolute highest among Pokémon, her Naganadel was certainly among the top tier. Coupled with its eerie, agile turning speed within narrow spaces, it was considered a formidable opponent even among peers of the same realm, not to mention that right now, Naganadel's realm was even half a step higher than that of the League members.

Just as they had anticipated, Yuxiao and Douma naturally would not stay cooped up in the hotel all the time. They were here to gather intelligence on Shangdu and needed to visit various places to get a sense of things—or perhaps, more truthfully, they were simply curious and wanted to look around.

Hong Fei had no idea that anyone would actually dare to infiltrate a stronghold of the Cold Blood Pavilion. Weren't they afraid of the Pavilion's relentless retaliation?

Bai Ling rubbed her eyes hard. Upon confirming that the person before her was truly the one she had yearned for day and night, she could no longer control her body. Transforming into a streak of white light, she rushed forward, plunged straight into his arms, and wept unrestrainedly.

Squads of warriors patrolled their respective encampments. In the shadows of the tree branches and leaves, the figures of prowlers drifted in and out of sight. Above in the sky, soaring goshawks and battle eagles crisscrossed, weaving layers of impenetrable vigilance networks that ensured absolute watertight defense.

Ye Hao didn't even spare him a glance. The moment Dark Penalty finished speaking, he sprang up, taking the Rafflesia with him, eager to leave. At his speed, he retreated a hundred meters in under three seconds. Seeing that Ye Hao genuinely made no move to stop him, he was overjoyed and increased his speed even further.

In short, within the span of a few days, teams from several major factions had gathered here, every single one of them pointing their sights directly at the Land of Gods' Fall.

However, the Monkey Sovereign ultimately offered a teasing remark. It wasn't that he intended any genuine sarcasm; rather, seeing the Seven Sovereigns hold the Forest Emperor in such high esteem simply made him feel a bit piqued. When he first arrived, the Seven Sovereigns had not maintained that attitude—those had merely been polite formalities.

Luo Zixiu looked at the five members of the Cheetah Exploration Team, finding it difficult to spot any flaws for the moment. It seemed the only way to reverse the situation was to go all out and eliminate one of them first.

If those people hadn't frequently drawn the ten-million experience pearls, so many players wouldn't have abandoned their quests just to camp out by the NPCs and try their luck at the lottery.

"Yet somehow, I feel that the more you fuss and meddle, the easier it is to draw attention to yourselves. It's better to just act normally; that way, you won't attract quite so much scrutiny," Bu Lou expressed his viewpoint.

Seeing that the man was unleashing a sword technique regardless of the consequences, Xie Fan understood the situation instantly. The purpose of the five men behind him was not to launch a sneak attack and kidnap him, but to kill him at all costs. Otherwise, rather than collectively exposing themselves in a desperate, reckless pursuit and executing sword techniques without regard for their own safety, they would have preferred to slowly trail behind and wait for an opportunity.

He had no idea where Lan Wuyou had run off to. He truly wished he could track her down directly and ask her whether she still intended to go through with that deal.

Listening to the pattering rain outside, which grew heavier by the moment, Gu Junyan felt a persistent, restless unease ripple through his heart.

"You're still talking back, so it seems it's not as serious as Guo Guo made it sound." Gu Junyan chuckled softly, picking up the ointment and applying it to her wound.

"Just taking a call." Nian An sat down and picked up the bowl and chopsticks to begin eating, only to see Gu Junyan walking into the dining room dressed in grey home loungewear.

"It doesn't matter, mild spicy is fine for me. Having no spice at all lacks flavor," Gu Junyan said with a smile.
