Chapter 68

At this moment, Xiao Xiao and Peng Feiyu, who had been basking in boundless glory, choked abruptly as if a ghost had seized them by the throat.

The space in the sky appeared somewhat distorted, with faint ripples of spiritual energy oscillating through it. This was because all the chains deployed by the Black Tortoise were concealed within these folds of space.

When he finally snapped back to his senses and attempted to blast Hao Zhuo with an immortal technique, he discovered to his dismay that he could no longer lock onto his target.

When speaking of his family, a look of pride flashed across the young man's eyes, but when his gaze shifted to Chen Xi, it transformed into one of bitter venom.

By then, regardless of anything else, they could simply claim that Chen Xi's token was counterfeit, and then slaughter Chen Xi. The subsequent events would naturally be dictated by whoever held the power anyway, since Chen Xi would be dead with no surviving witnesses to tell the tale. Destroying the token afterwards would eradicate all traces of evidence.

"Yours doesn't count, you didn't choose it yourself." Soya slanted a glance at Lin Nan, wearing an expression that clearly said she despised him for cheating.

The further one traveled toward northern Dian, the more uphill the roads became and the worse their condition grew—these days, toll roads were everywhere, though how much of the collected revenue was genuinely used for road maintenance remained a mystery.

Immediately after, he entered the kitchen, dismantled the sealed cabinetry, and looked upon Niu Zhenshan's decomposing corpse.

In Jingzhou, the Kuai and Cai families depended on each other for survival. As the head of the Kuai clan and the leading figure of both families in this generation, Kuai Liang had already spoken; though Cai Mao remained unconvinced, he dared raise no further objections.

"You keep insisting that your new product has nothing whatsoever to do with the Xu family's enterprise, yet the truth is that all your items are manufactured inside the Anxiang International factory. How do you explain that?" Xu Zhiyuan jumped into the fray once again.

With a loud explosion! It was evident that the damage had been caused by the crossbow in Trehy's hand. The explosion was a manifestation of energy weaponry, yet its penetration remained purely physical.

After glaring fiercely at Yi Junling, he obediently shut his mouth and refrained from speaking further.

Lin Zihao asked this because he knew that Yun Chuchu had been busy filming lately and should have had virtually no time to return. Her sudden appearance now suggested something had come up.

Ji Feichen was lost in his own thoughts when the sound of a car door opening suddenly snapped him back to reality, revealing Du Feng settling into the driver's seat.

During this period of his ultimate vulnerability, the mastermind who had murdered the original owner could not possibly remain idle.

He had no choice but to nod in agreement, while Lan Siling felt immensely grateful to Tang Shan, addressing him repeatedly as Big Brother Tang.

Xie Lingxu thought to herself that Elder Qiming stood approximately one hundred and eighty centimeters tall, neither fat nor thin. Although clad in a voluminous cassock, his muscular physique was still discernible, and his demeanor carried an air of great dignity.

Surveying the surroundings, Xie Lingxu gazed at the unbreakable bronze furnace, feeling utterly helpless within its confines... The sole exit lay at the mouth of the furnace, yet it was strictly guarded by a multitude of undying corpses, making escape through it as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Yet the mere thought that it had not been very long since her father gave Yun Qingyue those two million made her wonder if Yun Qingyue was about to hit Lin Zhengjie for money once again. The prospect that Yun Qingyue might actually demand more funds from Lin Zhengjie caused her expression to sour considerably.

With the arrival of the Provincial Party Organization Department head imminent, Yuan Chen and Duan Zexing led the members of the four major municipal bodies to the highway exit to welcome him. Ordinarily on such occasions, Yuan Chen and Duan Zexing would stand side by side, chatting and laughing, but ever since their divergence at the last Standing Committee meeting, the two had barely spoken to each other.

Indeed, she was none other than the Fifth Mizukage. The reward for the mission she had undertaken was that if she could retrieve the six ninja swords from Fugaku, she would be granted the title of the Fifth Mizukage.

Outside the Freedom Council plaza, the crowd was a sea of humanity. Soldiers, nobles, commoners, and all manner of figures gathered together.

The metallic being crashed into the ground, tracing a rainbow arc through the air. Anyone watching from behind the camera could feel precisely how agonizing that impact was through the vibration of the earth.

He had pioneered the semi-brain series of computers, completely crushing every other supercomputer in the world in terms of processing speed and maintaining an overwhelming advantage.

The boundless laws dissipated as a terrifying, bone-chilling pressure permeated every corner of the space. Crimson blood condensed into demonic malice upon the giant axe's blade, emitting a foul, pungent stench accompanied by corrosive properties.

As Yang Hongchang set the final keynote for the meeting, today's proceedings were, for all practical purposes, concluded.

"Such is human destiny; it always strikes you a vicious blow precisely when you are at the zenith of your triumph, crushing the prominent and those who hold half the world under their feet with an overwhelming tide of misfortune!" Tuna could not help but sigh.

"Nonsense, you were leaning against me to sleep; if I hadn't held onto you, wouldn't you have ended up flat on the floor?" Though clearly harboring a guilty conscience, the person put on a forcefully righteous front.

"Hey! Hey!" Lu Xueyuan waved a hand before her eyes, but Bai Yet seemed entirely oblivious. Growing bolder, Lu Xueyuan began pulling her cheeks, pinching her nose, and poking her ear canals with a blade of grass. Yet even after several minutes of such torment, Bai Yet still showed zero reaction.

Li Mu no longer had the energy to monitor the expressions of the dignitaries present; he had been thrown completely off track by Li Shihmin's final remark.

"I say, Lord Wei, Imperial Censor Wei, do you intend for me to sit in this position of Prince Regent for the rest of my life?" Li Mu shook his head with a helpless smile.

To put it simply, she continuously purified a specific bloodline through blood-refining techniques, subsequently forging a demonic venom targeted exclusively at that exact bloodline, causing the bloodlines of any demons possessing it to violently collapse.

The places where portraits of the former owners once hung had long since been stripped bare, leaving behind only vast, unsightly stretches of blank walls.

In the open trunk before her lay an array of historical scepters and crowns, meticulously arranged.

She was a homeless traveler who had barely managed to be taken in by him, only to be cast out ruthlessly in the end.

Under normal circumstances, the Second Elder would have offered a tactful analysis and guidance to the Third Elder. But now, with everyone poisoned and clan affairs thrown into utter chaos, the utterly exhausted Second Elder could no longer be bothered to enlighten this blockhead, and instead turned his gaze directly toward the First Elder.

He ordered an advance guard of five thousand men to probe the enemy's defenses, aiming to verify his hypothesis that the Tang army was far less formidable than legends claimed.

With these words, Ling Yi increased his leverage once more, causing Maiev Shadowsong's neck to emit a cracking sound as if it were about to snap.
