Chapter 40

"Xichen..." A call made Ding Xichen turn his head abruptly, only to see Zhen Kaixin walking toward him. The expression on her face suggested she knew nothing of his recent conversation with Luo Xingqi, which caused his heart, previously suspended in anxiety, to instantly settle back into place.

Qiu Xuan closed his eyes, silently calming his mind, and began to restore the energy within his body. All these matters had to be pushed to the back of his mind for now; the primary concern was how to escape. To leave, he had to regain his strength, or there would truly be no chance left.

Su Nian'an walked over and knocked on the door. Hearing a "come in," she looked at the familiar desk and guessed the situation.

The ruthless way Qiu Xuan treated himself made those watching feel a chill rise in their hearts. At this moment, Qiu Xuan looked exactly like an Asura from hell—his face twisted in pain, blood gushing from his body, and his eyes burning with intense murderous intent. He was the living embodiment of a demon.

"The evidence that Ma Yue hired someone to harm Lan Rui—the audio and video recordings where he admits it himself—is all here. With this, I think Uncle Zhao's current predicament can be resolved," Lu Ran said with a smile.

Yet, someone as powerful as Wang Wu had not arrived at Dead Man's Mountain to rendezvous with them by this time. Both Lin Le and Ximen Youlong had taken it for granted that Wang Wu would be the first to arrive. But in reality, there was still no news of Wang Wu or the Dawn Battalion he led.

The two moves Lu Ran had just displayed were clearly in the style of Tai Chi. This guy was actually a hidden master of internal martial arts; he might even have reached the legendary realm of a master of internal energy, who could move without a single feather or fly touching his body.

A faint smile hung on the corner of Qiu Xuan's mouth. The more Boni acted this way, the happier Qiu Xuan was, as it made it easier for him to escape. If Boni were not afraid of death, Qiu Xuan would have no choice but to bite the bullet and break through.

Her body ached so much that she grimaced; it felt as if every pore in her body was screaming.

I pushed open the vent cover, and a powerful gust of wind rushed in. Judging by the force of the wind, the train was moving at a high speed. I grabbed the window frame, gave a hard kick, and climbed up.

What was the matter that made Xin also accompany him into the palace? Jing Lin assumed it must be something urgent, so he put on his outer robe, hurried out of the sleeping quarters, and walked toward the front hall.

The first requirement is to complete a large number of tasks and accumulate over ten thousand points. The second is the duration of service: one must have been a member of Mount Mantuo for at least three years.

No wonder this is called the "Star Advancement Tournament." In a competition of only thirty-four people, the initial auditions don't really earn you any fans; at most, it's just a way to show your face, and few people will remember you.

Shu Jingrong looked at the two of them in silence, a sudden sense of sorrow rising in her heart that she could not suppress.

There are several wholesale markets in Mingyao Town, covering food, clothing, and shelter. Each market should have a considerable amount of good supplies stockpiled.

"Well, Uncle, Aunt, I have some business to attend to at home, so I won't disturb you any further!" The young man stood up, his gaze lingering on Xiaoxiao's face for a second before he turned and walked out of the living room. Xiaoxiao's mother stood up to see him out, closed the door upon returning, and sat back down on the sofa.

Then, the servants brought in fine tea, and the two chatted idly while drinking. After the tea had been refilled twice and the color had grown pale, Murong Fu waved his hand and dismissed the servants.

The sight of those thousand-plus fish floating in the river left them staring in disbelief. This destructive power was truly no joke.

The blind, oppressive suppression from within finally pushed the common people to their limits, and they took to the streets to protest.

"You... how can you say that about Teacher Li? Even though he is quite mean..." Yi Yuexin said weakly.

I have a good impression of Zuo Fei, so of course, I am very willing to join him. Besides, the Prince of Ten Thousand Poisons is also in the third squad, and we will be able to see each other often, so I agreed.

Wang Rong had originally wanted to spend some money to resolve the dispute, but given the current situation, that was out of the question. Even calling the police would be like trying to put out a fire with water from a distant source.

I am not afraid of death; I am only afraid that something will happen to Sun Jingyi. If Sun Jingyi were to suffer any misfortune, even if I were to die to atone for my sins, it would not compensate for this failure.

There are fifteen live streams in this broadcast room, each featuring one of the fifteen patients. Every one of them is on the brink of death, yet their eyes are filled with hope.

Even if her mom and dad can't be together in the future, even if they each start their own families, the love they have for you will never change.

I walked over and punched him hard in the stomach. With just one blow, I sent him flying. Then, I asked him if he would submit. He still didn't answer, so I grabbed a chair and smashed it against his head and body. I beat him until he was half-dead and bleeding, but this guy was truly stubborn—he didn't say a single word.

"You don't need to say anything. Wherever you go, I will follow. Even if you go to your death, I will be with you!" Princess Sanqian smiled at the Earphone Guy.

Everyone realized this possibility. In an instant, the members of the Tianxuan Sect blocking the intersections around Chengdu surged toward the main city district like a tide, and the sounds of killing shook the heavens.

Qing'e was truly stunned on the ground this time. She stared blankly at the Heavenly Emperor. Could this person really be so infatuated to this extent?

"I haven't been at the company for a while, and a lot of work has piled up, so of course, I have to handle it. If you don't want to go out with Dr. Ling, then help me with the official business," Huang Zhiqiang said.

Suddenly, he said angrily: "I, Hagen, am the only God Warrior among all the God Warriors who possesses both ice and fire techniques! My strength, even among the God Warriors, is second to none. How could that Dulu even compare to me!"
