Volume One, Chapter 29: Heartless and Treacherous

"So you want me to act as the bait to lure Ji Heng out?"

Fu Jinchuan said nothing. A few minutes later, a nurse entered and re-bandaged her damp wound.

Speaking, Elder Miao looked up, first glancing at Ren Lifeng before fixing his gaze on Elder Wu.

It was Zhuang Yunshu, who had been working overtime until now. Qiao Qingxia glanced at the man beside her and signaled the driver to pull over.

Such a situation also made Mo Luo feel a sense of resolve; it seemed he intended to risk everything to bring this battle to an end.

Yet, less than five years later, a research team from Jinghua University in Country Z successfully passed the final inspection for a dual-workpiece stage with motion precision controlled to within about two nanometers.

"Is the Princess in?" The voice from outside the door effectively interrupted Dongyang’s next move. It was Luya.

Without spirit stones as a hard currency, doing anything was extremely inconvenient, to the point that Ye Qing could not even enter the auction house.

"Aren't you awake now? Then don't lounge around the Han family—go cook for this old man!" The white-browed Taoist rubbed his nose and huffed.

Prince Juan wanted to say, if you already knew, why do you look like that? Although their status is somewhat... it shouldn't make you act this way, should you?

Having spoken her heart, Jiang Xin'er felt all the grievances and pain she had suppressed for these days bubbling to the surface.

The next second, with a "squelch!" sound, the yellow-black beam swung by the Beast King Guang struck the Teng Snake directly in the abdomen.

Returning to the valley, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Valley immediately rushed over, busily and frantically carrying Yan Hu inside.

Being forced back by a newly ascended demon cultivator, the Fire Wolf felt humiliated. Furious, he swung his blade as he retreated, and a fiery red arc of light, ignoring the distance of space, instantly appeared in front of Old Zhu.

Brother Cat nodded to the shopkeeper: "You carry on with your work, shopkeeper; I’m off." With that, Brother Cat left.

As for the Third Prince, Long Yan, because he had rescued Princess Longxia in time with decisiveness and handled the situation appropriately, he was granted the title of Prince.

Was the black iron artifact truly from the collection of the former Marshal Tianpeng? Old Zhu could not be certain. Although Jin Tianjiao of the Heavenly River Army had once confirmed it, his cultivation and insight were too shallow and easily misled by appearances, so it could not be taken as proof.

"No. There is no need. Every bit of strength lost is an irrecoverable loss for us. The chance of a breakout is already slim; the east side looks like a possible route, but it is definitely not a good place to go," Zhang Bao decisively refused.

"General, the city of Xinji is just ahead. We can rest in the city for the night and continue on our way early tomorrow morning!" a personal guard suggested.

Just to be safe, Jiang Yu blasted out three attacks at once, all targeting the same objective; this was quite the honor for the black-robed, sun-masked man.

The cashier filled the teacup, set down the teapot, and smiled at the steward worker. Shi Jingtian gestured a smile toward the cashier to thank him for pouring the tea.

"Great! Then let's make it a success on the first try!" Lan Xingyu excitedly began editing the name of their future hero group on the computer.

Swearing silently in his heart, Lin Cheng reported the post without a word and sent some colorful greetings to the publisher's family.

Under this divine art, the three top-tier natural treasures were growing wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a long while, he sighed deeply. Song Shuping turned around, walked back into the house, closed the door, and extinguished the lamp.

The scene that followed was essentially a massacre; almost no one could withstand a casual palm strike from the Old Celestial Master.
