Chapter 24: Settling Scores After the Harvest

The man clamped his hand firmly around her jaw, tilting her small face back and forth to inspect it. Satisfied that there were no injuries, he still did not let go. His grip on her chin tightened, as if he longed to choke this little ingrate to death. Gu Fangyu winced in pain, and combined with the terror of her day-long flight, her nose suddenly stung with unshed tears. "Gu Fangyu, have I been too indulgent with you lately?"

Zhong Sheng saw that the Fire Bell seemed genuinely terrified; its level was simply not high enough to rival the fire outside. As a mere Celestial Immortal, it was indeed asking too much of him to contend with the true fire of the Five Elements. Furthermore, this was a divine formation laid down by a god; a fire that could catch a god's eye was far beyond what the Fire Bell could hope to match.

Tang Yu was trembling all over. The doctor being held by the throat was dangling in mid-air, feet kicking frantically as he struggled in terror. Only then did Zheng Zhong and Fairy Jiuhua realize that this man was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Zhentian Hall, one of the seven great Nascent Soul stage masters of the Qiyuan Continent, and one of the two cultivators with the highest hopes of advancing to the Golden Body stage: the Martial King of Zhen, Lu Tianhong.

"Don't overthink it. I have already dispatched more men; I believe we will certainly find them." Mu Si, though severely wounded, came to comfort Shen Feiyang.

I absolutely could not give them money. I bargained with them through the door to stall for time. On one hand, I was waiting for the oil to burn; on the other, I trusted that once my uncle found out, he would surely call the police. The longer I dragged it out, the better it was for me.

The old butler standing not far away had his calm expression shift slightly, the lines on his forehead deepening. "Follow me," the boss said, immediately descending and flying into a building beneath the city wall.

It turned out that once Zheng Zhong learned this man also possessed a mutated lightning-attribute celestial root, he had made up his mind to challenge him to a duel.

"I can, but you must deal with Morgana first. I can't have made this trip for nothing," Kayle stated her conditions coolly. She leaned back, settling comfortably into her Archangel throne as she watched Zhang Shaofei.

"Yes." After Lu Qingyang led Chanjuan away, the Feather Emperor turned to face the massive dark shadow.

When Fu Honghan arrived at the meeting room, he found only You Shenghai and Wang Boju present. He felt it was beneath his dignity and was deeply annoyed.

Looking at the content of the message, Zhao Linran couldn't help but be puzzled: Those two are here again? And they are accompanied by Meng Feilong? What kind of big shots are they?

Within the surrounding nations, for the next hundred years, it seemed all the prodigies would be forced to live under this man's shadow.

As the process accelerated, more and more people cast their votes in favor. Although some chose to abstain, there were no dissenters.

They distributed free food to many poor people, but the Bai family repeatedly obstructed them, leading to conflicts between the two families. Lin Aotian's father had even been injured in the process.

Duke Qiangshi, however, kept his gaze fixed ahead, ordering the spacecraft to head straight toward the artificial intelligence planet.

He was not yet twenty, yet he approached the Great Accomplishment stage of blade intent. He had never heard of such a thing; perhaps even that group at the Kunlun Holy Mountain could do no better?

"General Tie, ahead is the residence of the Heavenly Mystery Elder." The armored vehicle leading the way came to a stop.

Although he did not know much about engineering blueprints, he could roughly make out the appearance of the facility: a massive, opaque black cube. He found it difficult to understand what purpose such a structure could serve.

Now, Ye Fan could complete two rounds of work in a single night with ease, and occasionally going three or four times was just his daily routine.

"Alright," Qi Si Yu smiled awkwardly, "I'll go get it back for you when it's light out." In truth, she also wanted to see Xiao Ruochen and ask her what exactly had happened.

Seeing the other party's embarrassed face, she felt her scheme hadn't been in vain. A corner of Chen Xingyun's mouth curled up, her sinister plan having succeeded.

They claimed that since Xia Ran had a necklace, they all wanted one to match, but there were only two necklaces left. Left with no choice, Lin Hao had to bring out all fourteen corpses.
