Volume One, Chapter 17: You Have No Gun

Opening the door, Qu Pan dragged Chu Zhenhai into the corridor with one hand, several dark gun barrels aimed at Qu Pan. Chu Xiong stood among soldiers holding rifles, casting a glance at Chu Zhenhai in Qu Pan’s grasp. His deep eyes darkened even more. Qu Pan dropped Chu Zhenhai and clapped his hands. Jin Da Kai, Chu Xiong’s deputy, led men forward to support Chu Zhenhai away.

“Who are you in the Qu family?” Chu Xiong asked, a question that was a death sentence.

Qu Lan had been sent as a fake heiress to marry into the Qu family, a fact both the Qu and Chu families knew well. But with Qu Pan’s ‘death,’ the fake had turned real. If Qu Pan dared claim she was the true heiress of the Qu family, her fate would be sealed.

Qu Pan studied Chu Xiong—tall and imposing, yet his gaze was dark and sinister.

If there were hidden men below, breaking in through the main entrance would be extremely difficult. It would depend on whether the doctor could eliminate them. Then there were the hidden scorpions inside; currently, they had no communication and didn’t know where the scorpions were concealed.

I looked up and saw none other than Director Wang Dashan. At this moment, Wang Dashan resembled an enraged lion, while beside him sat Liu Qinglian with a look of grievance.

The existence of blood demons was inherently evil and despised; he did not want her to understand too clearly, especially with a stranger, Luo Xian’er, sitting nearby, so the young man evaded the matter.

Since stepping down from the carriage, the youth felt a chill, with faint traces of blood scent lingering in the air.

Those living beings had long vanished. Although the place remained lush with greenery, clear streams, and fragrant blossoms, like a paradise, Jiang Yu began to feel uneasy.

“How is it possible? The ten-thousand-year-lost Eternal Demon Blade? The legacy of the Demon Ancestor? It sounds incredible!” someone exclaimed.

“Based on this reasoning, it does make sense,” Luo Chi agreed with Arenas's speculation.

The Heavenly Secret was extremely difficult to transmit through ancient texts because its profound and obscure principles involved the ultimate truths of the Dao. If even a faint aura was emitted, it would naturally perish. Only through this special transmission method could it avoid future troubles.

“So the government compensation house you received is the one in North City Garden?” Wu Yun asked.

Na Tie waved his hand and said, “Ah, forget it. If we kill them, Dragon Island will become the target of all. Besides, that old man Xian Baiming won’t let us leave easily. This is the best outcome now. I’ve notified the troops here to quickly extract them. That way, there won’t be any problems.”

The Taiping Army that had just left Hubei had not truly given up Hubei yet. The governors and inspectors of Huguang under the Qing Dynasty had already fallen into bitter enmity.

Fortunately, they all knew how to control their energy, so the energy fluctuations were limited to just a few meters around them, causing no impact on others or the buildings.

Jiang Lan turned her face and glanced at Kalan beside her. Since landing, the captain had tightly held her hand and conversed with teammates by voice direction, showing no visible signs.

“Heh, I can’t guarantee it. People who look flawless on camera never care about the accompanying images, only the content,” Qiao Neng said, looking at himself in the mirror.

“Such good tea,” Qing Hongyu lifted her teacup. Watching the distinct, curled tea leaves unfurling inside brought a sense of comfort. The fragrance permeated her nose and spread warmth through her heart.

Actually, Su Mengyao had no real intention to punish Meixiang. But the girl was cunning. Without discipline, she would become unruly before her and would not sincerely seek solutions to make amends.

After Wang Jingqi finished speaking, before leaving the room, Zuo Zongtang, clad in official attire of the sixth rank, strode in briskly.

Several dozen days passed quietly again. On this day, Ye Fantian suddenly opened his eyes once more.

“Sister, I think you have some misunderstanding about me! No matter what, we are family. What misunderstanding can’t be resolved?” Xu Zhiling poured herself a cup of tea and slowly brought it to her lips.

Instantly, everyone laughed louder than before, probably only Yuanmu hadn’t caught on.

Ye Zi could no longer hold back tears and burst out crying. Covering her face, she ran back to her hotel room and sobbed on the bed.

Meanwhile, on Ji Chi’s side, Tuoba Chun led the forty-thousand-strong Ji Chi army. According to regulations, commanding forty thousand men exceeded the limit, but no one said anything. Besides, Tuoba’s clan was powerful in Ji Chi, so even if rules were bent, the chieftain turned a blind eye.

Thus, on the way back, only her clear, chirping voice was heard. The two mysterious men either said nothing or replied with a few words.

Liu Zhida knew this, but he wasn’t willing to run away so meekly. He pulled out another object from his sleeve.

Qiu Xuan’s punch condensed his strongest power, unleashing his primordial energy without reserve. The fighting energy shield on Kenny’s body visibly dented under the punch.

Long Feng nodded, transferring the Devouring Divine Beast and the eight high-level divine beasts into the spatial stasis world. The Devouring Divine Beast was greedy enough to swallow all eight high-level divine beasts in one gulp.

“Just because I’m your senior sister!” Before Zhao Rui could finish, Chen Qingxi coldly rejected her in a wealthy heiress manner.

Listening to classmates chattering, An Ran felt increasingly uneasy. She hadn’t done anything but appeared overly conspicuous in their eyes and words, which clashed with her original intentions.

Soon, one person was stabbed in the shoulder by Rui’an and had to retreat, replaced by another teammate.

San Niang nodded and scrutinized her. “Shall I send someone to bring you clothes to change? You can’t wear men’s clothes into the inner courtyard.”

After flying another fifty meters, a tenI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
