Chapter 53

One of the spiritual cultivators, a man named Jiang Chong, recognized that Li Yuzhen was not someone to be trifled with. He exchanged a glance with the others, and they all released their holds.

"Wei Chao and Wei Qian have already finished. We must beat Wei Qing and the others!" Wei Qiu said with a hint of worry.

Fang Chenxi could not blame him. Randy was a black man, possessing great weight and strength, but lacking in wits. He was only good for maintaining the engine and performing heavy labor.

At that moment, a chuckle came from beside her. Mo Qinghua turned her head and saw Yang Fenkai looking at her with a smile, her mouth stuffed full. Mo Qinghua glared at him before swallowing hard. Checking her phone just then, she saw that Yang Fenkai had sent her a photo of herself eating.

Working at the Wanbo Group company was meant to be a cover for secretly investigating the clues behind her parents' murder. However, her position was too low—merely a sales representative—making it impossible to touch upon figures like top executives or the chairman of the board. Continuing like this would yield little use.

A night of bitter struggle had long exhausted Yang Tianchen's willpower. Although his body had mostly recovered thanks to the demonic energy, the moment he closed his eyes, he drifted into a deep sleep within a few breaths.

How wondrous must this world be to cause such a situation? They would only hear news of each other in three years' time. The explorers would no longer belong to the management of ALC, yet it was impossible for them to be abandoned by Earth, only to become the next pioneers.

Just as Chu Yan was about to speak, Guli and the three others had already nimbly boarded a carriage parked at the corner and sped away.

In the early hours of the fourth morning, a sudden bout of vomiting cleared Bai Fengyi's mind. He immediately threw up onto the nearby grass and then collapsed to the ground.

As soon as the words fell, Yan Lang's previously calm expression abruptly shifted, and a fierce, murderous aura instantly erupted.

After the lightning struck, Count Pucanboluo trembled for a while. The Count, who could normally almost completely resist most magic, found himself gasping for breath under this single bolt of lightning. A trace of shadowy dread crept into the depths of his heart.

"Make a call and tell Jiang Yao to come back for a visit!" Jiang Yao's aunt commanded her husband in an authoritative tone.

Guan Xing and Ma Su exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously. Both had lost any inclination for carousing. As soon as Pan Zhang and Zhu Huan left, Guan Xing and Ma Su disguised themselves as drunkards and stepped out to fake vomiting. Taking advantage of the inattention of the patrolling guards on the street, the two slipped into the shadows and quietly rendezvoused with the guards.

Yang Guohua never imagined that this apartment was a gift to Su Yiyi from the company. That was hardly surprising; he rarely concerned himself with company affairs. Unless the company encountered a crisis or a major internal problem arose, he generally preferred to stay out of management.

Lu Yesheng's chess skills were naturally no match for Uncle Fu, who had studied the art for decades, resulting in a record of mostly losses and few wins.

Yang Guohua tapped a few keys on the keyboard. In less than a moment, through the network neighborhood, he gained control of the host computer and lifted the lock on the terminal.

Though possessing the same lithe and gentle body, and the same sorrowful yet beautiful countenance, two entirely different souls evoked completely contrasting impressions.

Raleigh did not yet possess the ability to breathe underwater, and he still harbored a bit of dread toward this colossal gathering of water that formed the entire planet, fearing that some super-giant beast might be lurking within its depths.

Along the way, he had already overheard the whole story from the disciples serving at the guest viewing platform, and a plan had already formed in his mind.

Could it be that before the match, he wanted to impart some infallible secret of victory? Surely he wouldn't be that idiotic.

Although Ling Que's face was always icy with no discernible expression, and he could barely squeeze out three words without choking, his care for Lanyue could be considered thoroughly dedicated.

"Heh, as long as you return safe and sound, that's what matters..." Xiong Heng, not knowing whether he was truly foolish or acting, offered a flat and simple reply.

His aura was at a hundred percent, yet he forcefully compressed it down to ten percent. Consequently, every time his emotions fluctuated, his inner agitation would begin creeping steadily upward.

Making the trip this time had not been easy at all; for Xiao Ting to leave her family was already an immensely difficult feat.

"Everyone, slowly move eastward, and then go rendezvous with the other two teams. Once the main force arrives, that fellow won't dare to act rashly!" Although the leader of the guards was sweating profusely from fear, he still calmly formulated a countermeasure.

Having received considerable benefits, coupled with Fan Yang's favor, his child had transformed from utterly mediocre into a genius far beyond what they could once only look up to. Such a transformation was a boundless debt of gratitude. He hadn't shown it earlier not because he had forgotten, but because he kept it deeply engraved in his heart.

"I simply want the subjects of Great Chu to go forth and engage in commerce, and for Great Chu to step forward and protect those citizens who do so."

Seeing that everything was prepared, Fan Yang gathered his thoughts and began his breakthrough. Although it was somewhat rushed this time, Fan Yang believed that a breakthrough would bring unimaginable benefits, whether to his supernatural ability or anything else.

Although there was still about a month left until then, the team members needed to head over early to acclimate to the local environment and climate.

"I'd like to see what divine beast Sect Master Xiao can possibly produce to counter the Heavenly Ghost Gate!" Dongfang Bo said with a smile.

Having entered the Mountain and Sea Realm, Fengshi and Bashe had long since lost all hope. They slumped before Xiao Yutian, their entire bodies trembling.

Shuangsheng made a silencing gesture, motioning for Xiaoyun to remain quiet. Although Xiaoyun harbored countless doubts in his heart, he promptly shut his mouth. The next instant, he understood why: Hu Shu, who had been steadily making his way toward the city wall, abruptly altered his direction and plunged back into the fray of the melee.

Scorpion knew very well that if Kalista failed to secure the initiative in the bottom lane, it would be difficult to play later even if Kaisa scaled up. Thus, she prepared to head down to the bottom lane to look for an opportunity.

The opening sentence stated: This system was manufactured by the Prime Spacetime Human Technology Company of the 24th century.

Seeing the atmosphere in the shop grow increasingly tense—with some of the more hot-tempered customers nearly hurling the cosmetics in their hands at Suxin—Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat. Just as she took half a step forward, Fu Tian's deep voice rang out ahead of her.

In Fallen Angel Fund's imagination, after Jiaying Entertainment released the news, a stock price increase of one or two percent would already be considered quite decent.

Seeing her pull off such a stunt, Shuangsheng felt a trace of trepidation in her heart. She could not guarantee she would be able to subdue him tonight.

Lost in thought, Bei He walked back in the direction he had come from, and upon reaching the edge of the island, he soared straight up into the sky.
