Volume One, Chapter 26: Fu Mingchi Comes to Ask to Get Back Together

Apart from the mercenaries, whose gazes held a mixture of surprise and gravity, the laypeople standing around were completely bewildered.

In another month, it would be Shu Wan’s due date. He believed she was still alive. He had to find her before she gave birth. They say that a mother walking through the gates of death when bringing a child into the world. He had not been there to accompany the child as it grew day by day, but he must be there for the birth.

"Who knows? You want to mobilize them? Do you have the startup capital?" Ding Sanya asked with a sneer.

Qi Yi was also overjoyed, nearly spinning Luo Qing around. "With this luster, it’s at least an E+ grade energy fruit!" he vowed with certainty.

Zhan Xin thought for a moment. "Oh, right, Sister Xia Nuo returned from the United States today; she should be at home keeping her sister company. Anyway, I need to get back to work." With that, Zhan Xin picked up her tray and headed toward a table of guests.

"A pleasure to meet you, President of Wanxing, but I am here on official business. Won't you invite us in to sit for a while?" Yu Haojie revealed a cold smirk.

"Look at you, have some ambition! Didn't you always pride yourself on never mistreating your stomach, no matter what? What’s gotten into you today?" Yu Fei asked while changing her shoes in the entryway.

Ding Sanya shook her head. She downed a glass in one breath, but as she reached to pour a second, Shu Wan pressed her hand down to stop her.

Everything went so smoothly that Gu Cheng felt something might be wrong. He reviewed the report one more time, carefully, and sure enough, he discovered the discrepancies hidden within.

His movements grew increasingly ferocious, like a wild beast devouring its prey—a feast that belonged to him alone.

One moment in heaven, the next in hell; Luo Feng had been played quite thoroughly by the old dragon today.

Countless corpses lay scattered across the ground, oriented in every direction. Some were dismembered, others partially dissolved by strong acid, some reduced to withered bones, and others frozen with expressions of pure terror.

"Retract!" Zhao Yi thought, channeling his soul intent. With a sharp pull, the Extreme Yin Divine Fire began to move slowly toward Zhao Yi, right before the eyes of Zhuge Jueqing.

On one hand, she dared not face the families of her fallen comrades; on the other, she feared dragging them into the vortex of secret retaliation by the Hand of the Gods.

Hearing the mention of Wang Hu’s wife, Er Dan’s mind immediately conjured an image of Wan Bingbing’s sexy figure in leggings: her round backside and the loose, thin sweater pushed high by the perky curves of her chest.

"My Lord, whatever you need me to do, just give the order!" Zi Changkong quickly replied in a deep, resolute voice.

Though his days were leisurely, Ji Rufeng did not neglect his duties. He spent time reviewing the company’s security measures and correcting several flaws. It was, after all, his father-in-law’s company.

*Haha, you fool, die before you even realize what's happening! My speed is peerless under the heavens.*

"Very well, I will make sure it is cleaned up properly." The subordinate nodded and quietly retreated.

However, the superior quality of the Fire Sulfur Elf Flame managed to push back a large portion of the opponent's pale blue flames in an instant.

Although his goals had shifted as his cultivation realm increased, he could not deny that if he lost the things he wished to protect, the path of cultivation would be entirely meaningless.

"Sister Le Yao, please, don't tease me." At her words, a faint blush rose on Su Mianmian’s cheeks.

Chuyun Peak was like a joke—a topic for others to crack jokes about during their idle time.

Zhao Xiaozi knew that what she said was hard for those present to believe, so she paused once more.

Zhao Xiaozi naturally knew about Zhang Li’s situation; it seemed she had lied to her parents. As for the reason, it was simple: she had to explain how she afforded the clothes and items she used.

Finally, after half an hour, a deafening roar reached everyone’s ears. The formation of the Guanlan Terrace shook, and the protective light barrier even dimmed for a moment.

He looked up, his heart skipping a beat. A speck of pure white was reflected in his eyes, growing larger by the second. He tried to dodge, only to realize he had been locked onto and had nowhere to run.

Gu Yifeng stared at the mark floating in his palm. He knew this was the Heaven-Severing Seal recorded in the Heaven-Severing Art, a symbol of the Tomb Guardian’s identity.

Fu Mingyuan’s gaze remained fixed on the two characters written on the paper... If it were that person, Ming Ran would not be in immediate danger, but if Su Han were also involved, he would have to pick up the pace.

Shen Xinghun kept his eyes shut tight, never having imagined he would be handed over so easily. Gu Cheng was willing to go as far as colluding with the barbaric tribes just to eliminate him.

Ling Xuan'er shared the same thought, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at Lin Yang, utterly unable to comprehend the situation.

"Could it be that Zhang Can and Yue Buming have also arrived in Mumian City?" Yang Mufeng’s heart surged with turbulence. He knew that Mumian City must be in chaos now; with two legendary blades appearing at once, how could those super-factions sit idly by?

"Once the Jin troops cross the Dongliang River, they will be at the city gates. It seems we must defend the city. The fact that the enemy hasn't moved yet means they are likely preparing to negotiate terms. What do you think they will ask for?" Xiao Ming asked.
