Chapter 22: A Successful Escape

Gu Hanchen accompanied Gu Yao for her blood test, though his expression remained somewhat distracted. He glanced at the time on his wristwatch; she had been inside for five minutes already, yet still hadn't emerged.

After her blood draw, Gu Yao remained unconvinced. "Brother, that Gu Fangyu is just deceiving you. She must be pregnant; otherwise, why would she be afraid to be the first to have her blood drawn?" Suddenly, her voice trailed off as she realized something.

...

As Hu Mingchen spoke, the thoughts of Wang Zhan and Xu Tiancai followed his lead.

Ye Qing, just about to turn back to his estate, heard Zhao Qi'er greeting someone and couldn't help but smile. It was truly a case of speaking of the devil.

At this time of day, the church offers a view of Pochinki, the wheat fields, and the hillsides. For any full squad, this location is an absolutely excellent choice.

The Golden Snake Spirit flicked her tongue, a triumphant smile on her face, and raised the Yin-Yang Sword of Hardness and Softness in her hand, slashing toward Han Yi’s doppelgänger.

At the Donghua Gate, the Imperial Guard replaced the Palace Guard, and Shi Miyuan’s carriage slowly made its way toward the Shi residence. The Imperial Palace felt as though it had been sealed off, forming a stark contrast to the bustling, noisy atmosphere of Lin'an City.

However, in the eyes of many, Chen Jiao was now playing the financial game—or even the African game—which was quite alarming.

Goode was on the side of the wall, and with Cheng Yao’s support, he could immediately provide backup if the opposing Yq team attempted a forced assault.

"Do you think I care whether you tell me or not, just because I can find out the truth? Do you really want to suffer more hardship before you’re forced to speak?" Hu Mingchen said, half-bluffing and half-threatening.

The thing William the Iron Knight was proudest of in his life was not leading the expansion of the Norman territory, increasing his power, or allowing the aristocratic faction to rival the republican faction within the Duchy of Mini. His greatest pride was fathering two exceptionally talented sons.

Come to think of it, Team Best was quite unfortunate. They hadn't dropped into Z City many times to begin with. Not only did they fail to catch Team CD, but they only managed to find a single vehicle in the entire vicinity of Z City, which they had acquired through sheer effort.

After the Nagao clan mobilized fifteen thousand troops, following Asasada’s suggestion, they used ten thousand of them to form a siege perimeter, while five thousand troops and the local conscripted peasants dug tunnels.

In the eyes of the world, His Majesty Zi Shoude, King of the Yunqin Empire, was a debauched and muddled monarch. Little did they know that Zi Shoude had been working his heart out for the sake of the ordinary people, the marginalized races of the Yunqin Continent.

One must know that the power of the Heavenly Fiend is best at concealment and loves nothing more than to invade the sea of consciousness. For an ordinary person, this intangible and formless invasion is completely imperceptible. Yet, once this power truly erupts, it brings about catastrophic harm.

Wei Sanjiang was shocked by the scene. Looking closer, he saw Meng Qianye standing beside his uncle.

However, he had considered that once he crossed over, he might be caught in a pincer attack from both sides, which would indeed put him in great danger. Still, he didn't believe his luck was that poor, so despite the immense danger on the other side of the passage, Long Xingyu stepped through.

Cold sweat beaded on Jin Heihu’s forehead. There was no need to even fight; the moment the enemy charged, his own team simply fell apart.

Yu Chou’s strength was not at its peak; he was still confined to the Mind-Clarification Realm and could not yet further enhance the power of his supernatural abilities.

"The auction has started now. I must get in quickly, or my item will be snatched up by someone else." After saying this, Zhao Hai slapped an ID card onto the front desk and immediately left the area.

"Who’s to say otherwise? But it’s only natural. After all, he is only a World Master for now, and it is said that the reason he cannot break through to become a Star Master is that he has yet to fully comprehend the path of the staff. His current madness is all for the sake of taking that step," the white-haired elder said.
