Chapter 153: A Sudden Surge of Murderous Intent

Inside the military camp, Chen Shanxiao rushed back in a rage, threw himself into a chair, slammed his hand onto the table, and roared angrily, "That dog of a creature actually had the audacity to make this general kneel! I will tear this damned eunuch into a thousand pieces!"

With that, Chen Shanxiao picked up a cup of wine and drained it in a single gulp, the murderous intent in his eyes burning ever more fiercely.

...

After being struck by the crimson-gold palm print, Han Li's body plummeted straight down, ultimately being swallowed by the dense forest below.

Had it not been for his past experiences of enduring the scorching agony of the demonic flames and burning blood time and time again, he likely would have suffered a complete physical rupture and died the very instant he stepped into this expanse of the sea.

Seeing that the man in the gray robe did not seem to be joking and appeared rather serious, Mu Ying could not help but set her mind at ease.

In gratitude for the tremendous benefits it had received, Taicheng City joined forces with the Long Corporation to launch a promotional campaign encouraging people to visit Mount Tai and behold its towering skyscrapers, issuing public announcements nationwide.

Yu Chaolan beamed with delight at a single glance. Aside from Ji Rushi's abstention, the motion had passed with twelve votes in favor. She was thoroughly pleased; this was a promising start to the Monday routine meeting and undoubtedly a favorable sign.

This was hardly a momentous affair—merely movable type printing—yet it had somehow stirred him to such a pitch of excitement. Wu Ming felt a trace of gladness mixed with a faint tinge of shame, having once again plagiarized the crystallization of his ancestors' wisdom.

Suddenly, a streak of purple spellcraft flashed across the distant sky, and judging by its trajectory, it originated from the shaded northern side of Yuzhu Peak.

Yan Qing furrowed his brows in deep thought. At this moment, the primordial essence of life within his body once again transformed into a towering golden-scaled dragon that surged up into the firmament.

When evening arrived, Long Xiao went to the county's non-staple food company, loaded ten cases of Maotai into the trunk of his car, and drove straight to Department Chief He's residence. After parking his vehicle, he retrieved a case of Maotai from the trunk and entered the chief's home.

To guard against any unforeseen emergencies and handle them at the earliest possible moment, he chose not to return to the mountain, opting instead to stay at a hotel. Consequently, he remained completely unaware of what had transpired.

After ending the call, Ying Qingyang flipped through the files sent to him by A Shui, but found no record of Jiang Yuyi's entry into the country.

Her neck was limply broken and crooked to one side, her head drooping powerlessly against her shoulder, while dark, congealed blood still stained her face.

In the Wind and Snow Palace, Feng Xueling swayed leisurely in a reclining chair, cradling a coconut in her arms with various snacks laid out nearby, thoroughly enjoying sips of refreshing coconut juice.

After the Daoist priest assigned several more tasks to Shiji, the stone cavern once again returned to tranquility.

Under Wu Ju's forceful push, the stone pillar, three times taller than a man, rolled into the Wei River, kicking up massive, surging waves.

Gael's bandit-like logic once again shocked the members of the Billy family, completely refreshing the understanding that Habily and the others had of him, though it also stirred a faint flutter of excitement in Habis and his companions.

This amounted to an endless cycle of relentless work with virtually no time to ponder new ideas or take a rest. The two of them had already faintly sensed that this trajectory of development was fundamentally flawed.

Alas! Perhaps it was simply because she was a hack lacking the profound foundation of a true master. Struggling to uphold her dreams under harsh conditions, only to be forced into self-censorship due to policy and regulatory reasons—how could Li Cai not find this exasperating? Deep down, a crushing sense of self-doubt and an overwhelming feeling of inferiority welled up within her.

Having spoken, she cleared away the items on the table, waved a nonchalant farewell to the audience and the teachers seated below, and turned to walk off the stage.

The spiritual power flowing within her body had fused various distinct energies together. By utilizing devouring power to absorb medicinal pills, she could harness them completely without wasting a single shred of efficacy.

Pausing only briefly, Xiao Yun dared not linger, slipping agilely into the adjacent ancient forest where he vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.

"If things truly come to the absolute worst in the end, it will not cause any variables to our staying together. Our family belongs to the Mafia; although we do not touch the narcotics trade, I am fully capable of supporting you for the rest of our lives, and moreover, the source of narcotics would be far more reliable and convenient for us."
