Chapter 136: The Truth (1)

Wen Ni cast a silent glance at Zhou Chengli.

Upon their meeting, Sun Shanji observed that Young Master Lin was not only handsome, with a face as fair as jade and lips as red as vermilion, but also possessed a noble temperament and elegant manners—truly the distinct bearing of a scion from a prestigious family! Struck by this, Sun Shanji dared not show the slightest negligence.

Seeing this, Shi Meng’s expression shifted abruptly. He knew that Tian Hao’s actions were not born of lost reason, but rather, as it appeared, the only remaining method: to slaughter as many spiritual creatures as possible to strike fear into the rest.

Thus, even with an early departure, it took a full week of voyaging to finally reach the Glory Star Sector.

With a dull thud, the materialized boulder was knocked askew, and immediately after, Jiang Lin saw a blurred shadow vanish from his field of vision.

There was no telling which major organizations might appear at this auction. Setting aside figures on the level of the Four Emperors, it was possible that non-aligned nations or uncertain third parties might also show up. For security purposes, he needed to assemble all of his executives.

After carefully scanning the annotations on the item card, he could not help but lick his lips in excitement.

Before landing on the island, he had noticed the Navy. He expected a conflict, but to his surprise, they turned a blind eye to his arrival.

However, the peaceful life she craved was destined to remain out of reach. Li Yanxi approached Hou Anxuan, attempting to collude with her to fabricate an incident and use the opportunity to smear Liu Sha.

As he spoke, he pulled Mo Li into his embrace, only to be shoved away violently. Yet, the other party’s strength was so overwhelming that he could not be pushed aside.

If anyone was to blame, it was Ye Wei for having such incredible luck, managing to pick, out of the countless spiritual creatures in the vast Forest of Trials, the very few that Shi Meng cared about most.

He used them to climb onto the body of the skeletal behemoth, which remained oblivious to the creatures crawling upon it.

What sort of matter required clearing the room? The old matriarch frowned slightly, but she did not contradict her grandson’s words, signaling for those serving her to withdraw, including Jinxiu.

Ruixiang shot her a sharp look, and the words remaining in her throat were instantly choked off, leaving her unable to utter a sound.

Now, no one dared to take the situation lightly. After responding to Zhao Yutong with promises to do their utmost, they followed Imperial Physician Sun, who had just visited the Sun woman, as the group headed toward her courtyard.

Nalan Mingshan and Mu Yan’er felt as though the old man had been staring into Baili Tianchang’s eyes for an eternity.

Once Tier 1 skeleton soldiers formed a horde, even Tier 7 troops would have to take a detour. In Li Xiang’s view, sheer numbers were the most critical factor.

The cold words echoed directly into Shen Yanran’s ears. Her heart tightened, and gripped by the fear sprouted from witnessing Lin Yue’s formidable strength just moments ago, she dared not move a muscle.

Duanmu Zhige instinctively shielded Lin Yue. As she swung the Army-Breaking Spear, a shadow of the weapon erupted, lashing out at the crowd.

Crossing the plaza, they discovered that those skeleton soldiers were being transported to another location through the City Lord’s magic.

Upon hearing this, the Fengdu controlled by Hu Yue turned immediately, staring coldly at their two puppet weapons.

"It’s certain there’s a gap compared to the collegiate and professional leagues, but it shouldn't be worse than Diamond rank, right?" the other male commentator added with a laugh.

Regardless of the market, what Tailong International needed to do was secure 3 billion yen to lend to Wang Nuo for conversion into U.S. dollars. These positions could come from hedge funds also engaged in foreign exchange margin trading, or perhaps... from the operations of multinational corporations exchanging dollars for yen.
