Volume 1, Chapter 29: When Rivals Meet, They See Red

Led by Yang Fan, the group moved quickly into the depths of the ruins. This time, the incident had not occurred within the stone house.

"We know how to enter the grand formation, but as for entering the central area, we have no means to do so," replied Luo Xueying’s parents.

Taking a closer look, I realized Lin Mu'an had rolled off the bed at some point; one arm was hooked around my neck, a leg was draped over my body, and drool was trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Without listening to any more of her nonsense, Snow Owl stepped into the elevator. To the eyes of an ordinary person, there was no transition at all—it was as if in an instant, the elevator was already heading toward the eighth floor.

They climbed the well-wall stairs back to the surface at a steady pace. Luo Bo instructed the Flint clan to fence off the wellhead and post guards, then left the ancient kitchen to patrol the tents and houses of Longnight Castle, where the clansmen resided.

The four gates swung open, and countless retainers and guards, fully adorned and mounted on warhorses, swarmed out. The rookery was in a frenzy, releasing messenger ravens one after another, sending them flying toward every corner of the North.

As he spoke, Qin Yu stood up without hesitation and looked sternly at the members of the special department before him. Terrified, they instinctively raised their guns and pointed them at him, their expressions revealing that they saw Qin Yu as an extremely dangerous individual.

In truth, it was so. Tian Ye had been troubled by this issue for a long time, but whenever he reached a bottleneck in his training, he was plagued by thoughts of giving up. Yet, in those moments, he would recall the wretched days he had endured in the past.

The night passed without incident. The forest was quiet—not with the silence of a great city, but with a stillness where the chirping of insects sounded like a symphony. The aura radiating from the two of them was so powerful that insects dared not approach, allowing them to sleep soundly.

"It seems it is time to settle scores with the Ghost Immortal Sect..." With a wicked grin, Qin Yu stood up from the ground and stretched, feeling refreshed.

"The money of my Lieyun Sword Sect only enters, it never leaves! You’d do well to remember that!" Qin Long felt the victory was already his, acting with unbridled arrogance.

The one-horned rhinoceros was massive, heavy, and twice the size of the Phantom Leopard, yet it could not withstand the leopard's violent dantian energy. It was blown away instantly, leaving the black-armored youth screaming in terror.

Cold sweat beaded on Mo Sheng’s forehead, dripping down and soaking the hair at her temples. She usually paid little attention to her health, but whenever her period arrived, it felt like being sent to the executioner’s block, torturing her until she was barely human.

I scoffed, knowing that if she said it like that, it certainly hadn't been agreed upon by her family, so I prepared to take out my phone and call Zhang Zheng.

Xu Bingyan let go of my hand, pushed Ding Hao, and said, "Are you sick? Qiao An just saved me, and this is how you treat her?"

Xu Jian stood up, looked at me, surprised at first, then let out a cold laugh. "Know him? Who the hell is he? Just a piece of trash in the first year of middle school; he’s not worth knowing."

Uncle Gong’s technique was incredibly powerful and nearly flawless. Even for someone like him, who had been immersed in martial arts for many years, it was impossible to crack.

However, the video ended abruptly at that point, followed by silent, spectacular team fights. After all, no one would be foolish enough to edit out Qzx’s commands; that would be clearly exposing tactics and inviting others to counter them.

Mo Qingyi rolled her eyes in secret. When she looked up and saw those papers appearing steadily before her, the giant word "Contract" made her heart skip a beat.

Qian Sanyun suddenly had a wicked idea: let Zuo Dongliu tail Hang Sisi and try to photograph her tryst with Xu Xiaolei. It might prove very useful in the future.

One person spoke, and the same thought surfaced in the minds of the others. They looked at the collapsed pit and fell into a silent contemplation.

Inside the security office, Director Bai Haoran wore a gloomy face. However, his fierce gaze fell more on Guan Ping and the others, while he remained all smiles toward Pei Junji.

Jin Yunheng turned and walked toward the kitchen, took out ingredients from the refrigerator, and after a stunning display of knife skills, Mo Qingyi was left in awe.

"So, the reason Master became a God Emperor was to die in my place?" As a mother, Bai Xingyan understood the hearts of parents, but Master... how could he be so innocent?

"I will. The company has pay stubs; I will show them to you every time I get paid," Gan Jing promised.

Xiao Yiyue sneered and brushed his hand away without ceremony, showing no trace of her previous timid and weak demeanor.

The four elemental attributes combined with the metal attribute of fine iron, five types of spiritual energy complementing each other, finally simplified from complexity into the black and white colors that symbolized time.

The moment Fu Guang touched the doorknob, a mocking smile appeared on his lips. To think someone actually dared to hide under their very noses.

When I saw Sisi’s signature, I desperately wanted to sign my name right next to hers, just as Tang Rong had done, but my inferiority and cowardice made me hide it among the others, only able to look up at her from afar. At that moment, I should have realized she did not belong to me.

Hearing the generals' excuses, Xie Kun couldn't help but sneer: "Generals, today you first transferred General Niu and the others away, then ordered the Five Armies Governor’s Office to summon me. If I hadn’t returned to camp early, I fear I wouldn't even have seen you all injure Captain Feng, would I?"

When word came that a knightly order led by Killian would be formed, the knights beat their chests and shed tears of joy.

"Come, come, Young Master Tuoba, thank you for escorting my junior sister back to the sect. I toast you." Xiao Yao was the first to drain his cup.

*Add to my thoughts: Yeah, right. People in the black market do business by cheating and swindling; honesty depends on who you're dealing with.*

Jia Jing lay there with his eyes closed, letting the passive power of the artifact quickly restore and repair his severely damaged body.

Besides that, the Dongjiang Beverage and Dongjiang Food companies at the top likely had valuations of around eight hundred million to one billion each.

The Li siblings next door had only managed to grab two dolls. Li Ci looked at the empty bag and pursed her lips.
