Chapter 103: A Lost Cause

Chen Yang’s phone volume was low, yet everyone present heard his words clearly.

Chen Yang was momentarily stunned, then coldly asked, “Who exactly are you?”

“Cut the crap! Your father’s been gambling non-stop at O Gate for three days and nights, losing twenty billion. Debts must be repaid—it’s only right. Don’t even think about shirking!”

...

Li Gui had intended to leave, but after arriving here, due to certain special circumstances, he had to frequently deal with the enemy. Now, with several fresh wounds and the fact that those being hunted by the enemy bore similar injuries, he found himself caught in a difficult position.

Feng Yiluan piloted the flying vessel, circling slowly above Rao Shui Town. The master and disciple glanced down at the old neighborhoods where residents still enjoyed a leisurely life as before. Many homes had been renovated, and life seemed to be going well. Sharing a smile, the two rose higher into the sky.

Moreover, the MiG-21, the most widely used fighter jet in the Vietnamese Air Force, costs only around ten million dollars each. Twelve such jets would be enough to purchase a single Buffalo hovercraft. If the navy needs new equipment, doesn’t the air force deserve upgrades as well?

Yuan Wuming, seeing the situation, was not alarmed but rather pleased. He mobilized the powers of multiple worlds—himself and others. Their true forms clashed, while their projected selves faced off simultaneously in different realms. Shadows of staffs swept across, waves of the Yellow Springs surged, collisions rumbled endlessly, thunder exploded and faded, and the dissipating energy destroyed the stars in the world where their beings existed.

At the same time, the knife hurled into the sky suddenly reversed course, emitting a whistling, eerie sound that sent chills down the spine. It swiftly struck toward Xiao Feiyan’s back. This move was one of Sha Yitian’s signature techniques, the “Echo Double Strike.” The initial attack was merely a lure—the returning curved blade was the deadly assault.

“Brother Randi? Wasn’t he stationed at the border? How is he back?” Gu Tian looked at Yan Xue in shock.

Song Tianyou was a frequent guest at this secret private club, and the Western dishes Liu Guangqi was now enjoying were some of the club’s specialties. However, judging by Liu Guangqi’s demeanor, Song Tianyou felt he was not a regular patron.

Otherwise, once the seal was lifted, those with saintly realms and abundant resources would likely ascend instantly, becoming true saints. At that moment, such an opportunity would likely slip away from him.

“How could I refuse!” Gu Tian understood immediately—this must be the imperial decree his good son had requested.

Li Yang was not wrong. Though the green blood demon incident at Yishan Cave ultimately ended with its destruction, the sects who lost relatives or disciples at Juxian Manor bore great hatred toward it, killing indiscriminately without distinction.

So at times like this, the school’s playground was filled with students participating in sports, running freely and sweating openly. Just watching them evoked a sense of vitality and health permeating the campus.

While walking over, I chatted briefly with the village chief and learned that the village was originally called Emerald Ridge.

He suddenly recalled Fang Pingying’s instructions to Luo Honglan on the mountaintop today—that the recipe for those concoctions must not be disclosed lightly, to prevent others from learning it.

I always felt Yang Banxian had some hidden agenda, so regarding his so-called biological parents, I thought it best not to meet them. I couldn’t follow Yang Banxian’s line of thinking.

Zhang Jin went out to fetch some late-night snacks, coffee, and cigarettes—clearly preparing for an all-nighter.

Godo covered his mouth and flew over to a much larger abyssal worm, far bigger than the others nearby, leaning on it as he looked toward the Yellow Dragon.

“Wu Siyuan, do you mean that Shen is using the emperor’s authority to command the lords? Have you considered the consequences of your words?” Shen Qin sneered coldly.
