Volume One, Chapter 27: Evidence of Embezzlement

Xiao Long and his companions remained behind; bullying others comes with a price, so Xiao Long began his warm-up exercises right there in the room.

At this moment, a faint smile graced Tang Bingyan’s lips. Though she stood in the shadows, she shone like light in the darkness, dispelling the gloom with a beauty that was beyond compare.

Zheng Xin was nearly bursting with rage; she flopped back onto the sofa and hurled an insult in the direction where Chen Bin had departed.

The man’s gaze swept over Su Xiao, his eyes filled with a hint of disdain as he looked her up and down.

Bai Dong was stunned to hear his master address the old man before him as "Master." He truly had not expected to encounter Taoist Sanqing here.

To know so much information about Wuji Island, An Huixian must, at the very least, have connections with the organization over there.

Chen Bin did not yet know what danger might unfold here, nor was he certain where that sense of peril originated.

The Origin of Fire was merely a pleasant surprise; his true goal in coming to the Boundary Sea was the "origin" matter he had etched into his memories.

As a cold voice rang out, a power that struck terror into the five armored youths manifested in the starry sky.

Ma Yun sighed with emotion, noting that a single name could shift the tide of public opinion. In this day and age, perhaps only Lin Zitai could make him feel the melancholy of "why must there be both a Zhou Yu and a Zhuge Liang."

Feeling the energy coursing through his limbs and bones, Li Xiao’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. He retracted his aura, returning to the appearance of an ordinary person.

"Given my mastery of arrays, I believe it is here as well—at the very least, it is the most likely spot," Black Zetsu spoke in a hoarse voice.

He had never slept soundly before, but tonight was different; he slept with exceptional peace.

"That is all. I leave the rest to you. Do not come looking for me again, whether there is anything important or not." As Wen Qihang finished speaking, he strode away. It was truly chilling to be stuck in the dark with a dead body all the time.

The official website of the Republic of Korea was hacked once again; Chinese, English, and Korean text appeared simultaneously at the top of the screen.

The three of them felt their old faces could hardly hold up; the leader could not help but cough dryly several times.

He turned and walked toward a side door of the great hall. Ye Kuang and the others followed closely behind, accompanying the old monk into a side chamber.

Beside him, Situ Yanran and Ni Tianya cast their gazes, their eyes filled with disbelief. What kind of technique was this? Along the way, the two had been stunned by the endless variety of Yi Han's methods.

Looking up and gazing ahead, Yi Han sighed in regret. If the newcomer had arrived a moment later, he would have claimed the throne, but alas, the opportunity was lost.

Having followed Wen Qihang for a long time, Tan Fengyi naturally knew he was just venting his frustration. At such times, he would lash out indiscriminately at anyone, and though his words were not overly offensive, it was the last shred of reason holding back the anger in his heart.

"I will write a prescription. Please take it for a few days, Madam. I will come to check on you again in a few days," Xia Jin said.

Zhu Shize’s arrival, just as Mu Rui had predicted, provided the best possible buffer for the sharp conflict between Ling Jun and Xu Weikang.

Hearing Ma Bao address her as "elder sister," Dong Fang frowned, but out of respect for Fuling, she said nothing.

"This choice is actually very simple: stay by my side!" Zhao Jia said, looking quite excited.

A moment later, Xuanyuan Che descended. He saw heavenly flowers in full bloom, cranes dancing, and mystical lions roaming, while layers of bright light draped over the ground, chiming like bells.

He needed time to scheme; how could he continue to stay at the Duke of Cheng’s mansion without offending the Deping Earl’s estate?

However, we must understand that the most terrifying thing in a game is not having a god-like opponent, but encountering a pig-like teammate. The reinforcements, who came with their own "doomed-teammate-for-ten-thousand-years" aura, not only failed to help but made mistakes, cutting off their own retreat.

After quickly changing his shoes, he took the plastic bag from Zhong Han, shoved a popsicle into his hand, and stuffed the rest into the refrigerator just as Zhong Han had instructed.

Under these circumstances, Henry IV could be said to have been pushed to the brink. Even Zhao Jia could not help but gasp when he heard this. Putting himself in Henry IV’s position, he feared there would be no way to resolve such a dead end, eventually leading only to the rebellion of the dukes across the realm.

Fearing that Ling Jun would be anxious waiting in Yanjing, Liu Qingxin instructed Chu Yi to prepare everything in advance so that they could depart as soon as Yuyan arrived.

No one had ever dared to forcibly enter North Peak Mountain; no one had the courage. For the time being, Zhuang Wangu took command of the mountain, and his daily task was to sit on the highest bluestone and overlook the land below.

Before the other could finish speaking, the leading man in black grabbed a beer bottle from the bar and smashed it fiercely against the big man’s head.

The Heaven-Shaking Divine Pearl extended countless tentacles, winding like snakes and swimming like fish, surrounding that space.

Only then did Zhuang Wangu notice that the appearance of the Netherfire, both in its external form and when first unleashed, was remarkably similar to the Ten-Extreme Thunder-Fire. This meant that if the Nether Sect Leader used them together, it would be extremely difficult to distinguish between the two.

Chi You and the Three Pure Ones had to obtain the complete memory of the creation of the world, and they could not do without the Chaos Bell. Chi You was surely going to reorganize the Witch Clan and seize the fortune of the human race. How could he just sit by and watch Chi You achieve the Great Dao now?

With a mournful face, Bart retreated in dejection, not daring to eavesdrop on Wudi and Emily again. He knew that the previous look from Emily had been a warning for disturbing her time with Lord Wood.

After the Medicine Buddha died and reincarnated as Bodhidharma in the Nether Hell, Dipankara became the fourth-ranking figure in Buddhism. This time, sending his disciple Li Jing to carry out such a sneak attack—only to fail and suffer a loss—did indeed cause the two Sages, Jieyin and Zhunti, to lose face in the Purple Heaven Palace.

Recalling the bet of five million gold pieces that Bai Moge had deliberately designed against Hu Xiaotian during the Southern Chen era, she suddenly understood: that bet was more of a test for Bai Moge. Having grown suspicious of Hu Xiaotian, she must have been verifying the truth of certain rumors she had heard in the past.

"Very well, I will go find Minister Wang this afternoon and report back to you once there is a result." Zhao Zhengce’s words were very respectful, his face filled with gratitude.

Ever since he woke up in Oslo, the fatigue had almost entirely vanished for Wudi. With the support of the nearly effortless Blood Shadow Flowing Light movement technique, Wudi had managed to reach the Giant Rock Fortress, not far from the territory of the Dread Lord Gustav, within just three days.
