Chapter 53: She Must Be Detained in Accordance with the Law

The Wang family.

Du Lei hurried through the door. "Brother Peng, you should go out and hide for a while. Wang Cheng is bringing your parents over to find you."

He was extremely anxious, not even having time to turn off his car engine.

Wang Peng frowned, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

The matter of buying the house could not be kept hidden.

The moment his household registration was transferred out of Wang Village, the village committee would reclaim his residential land foundation, and they would definitely inform Wang Song.

The demolition news could not be concealed either.

The news had already caused a huge stir in Little Wang Village, and anyone could easily find out all the details by asking around.

However, where could he possibly hide?

You can hide from the first day of the lunar month, but you cannot hide from the fifteenth.

"Brother Lei, thank you. Go back to your classes, I will handle this myself."

"Uncle Li, let's talk another time..."

The sovereign lords also sensed that something was amiss with Xu Chongtseng, but since zombies also belonged to the category of corpses, they could not discern the clues either.

Quite a few pythons tightly coiled themselves around the zombie, attempting to crush it into pieces. Unfortunately, they were unable to do so, as the sheer explosive strength unleashed by the zombie instantly tore the pythons into shreds.

Yet all of this was merely the beginning. Lin Feiyang violently grabbed his remaining arm and gave another hard tug. Amidst flying blood, the entire arm was ripped off and sent soaring away.

As a Dao Ancestor, Ye Changjiang mobilized the power of heaven and earth with a single strike, truly causing the cosmos to tremble. Unleashing his Dao Ancestor-level power, he launched a fierce assault on Lin Fan.

"Hehe... It's a good thing, though it must be kept confidential. Right now, only city lords are qualified to know! The Master of Demons has already issued an order for all cities to fully excavate the spiritual veins. In five years, our grand army will attack the Earth of the Yanhuang tribe!" Another emissary sneered malevolently.

The strength of soldiers belonged to the physical stamina of ordinary mortals, which did not require refinement and could be utilized directly.

Both sides clashed head-on once more. Wang Yu withstood the combined attack of seven experts, his Longyuan Sword slicing through the sky. A blinding flash of light burst forth before slowly dissipating, and the terrifying shockwave rippled outward, obliterating everything in its path.

When Lin Fan uttered those words, not only were the surrounding people stunned, but even the Overlord froze in place.

All the classmates hurriedly cast assessing glances, only to see that this young man was dressed in casual attire, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. His pupils were dark and deep, and an understated aura lingered about him, radiating an astonishing charm.

Sure enough, upon arriving at the main entrance of the grand hall, Shiyao saw Bai Bing collapsed at the threshold, blood streaming from his body and staining the pristine white floor around him.

Intercepting Xiao Yan's fist with both palms and feeling the immense force contained within it, the old elder's expression inevitably shifted, a trace of surprise flashing across his face. This fellow's strength was merely at the three-stripe emperor spirit realm, yet he possessed such overwhelming power.

Xiao Yan gently nodded. The moment the silver-haired man appeared, even he felt a tremor originating from the depths of his soul; not even the Momentum Mantra could offer the slightest effect. The latter's strength far exceeded his imagination.

This sensation lasted for only half a minute before Li Dong suddenly experienced a violent wave of intense pain surging throughout his entire body. The agony he had felt earlier upon colliding with the mountain wall was simply incomparable to this. It felt as though his whole body was being torn apart from within, and in a fleeting instant, the excruciating pain caused Li Dong to lose consciousness.

Six serpentine spears each shimmered with a sharp luster. As the brilliance flickered, the surrounding space hummed faintly, and the formidable might caused many sharp-eyed students' expressions to change drastically.

The full smile on her face was like a rose just blooming in May—fresh, pure, and breathtakingly beautiful to the point of suffocation.

Even so, he dared not expose himself in the slightest. He knew Su Zhiyang all too well; if the latter found out, he would surely kill him outright without waiting for the verdict from the elders' council.

If she, too, were suddenly dragged away by Bai Suidong just like Wu Rong and Rong Jing, whether she could ever walk out of the detention center again would truly become a question.

Although her words were polite and proper, they still retained her usual headstrong and lively spirit. Thus, regardless of her intentions in coming here, at the very least, her words sounded far from disagreeable.

At the same time, none of them could have imagined that not long ago, due to a twist of fate, they had managed to narrowly and perilously avert a catastrophe.

The dignified director of the Beijing Changhe District Public Security Branch—a department-level cadre who had stooped to colluding with underground forces just to avenge his son—was reduced to ashes amidst these uninhabited, verdant mountains and green waters, destroyed by supernatural powers far beyond his own comprehension.

Aptitude pertained not only to the physical body but also to the mental and spiritual realms. Without sufficient comprehension, having purely physical talent alone would not take one far.

"Elder Sister jests..." Ni Peng's aggrieved expression instantly gained an extra layer of awkwardness. How could he not know what "relying on one's looks to make a living" implied?

Following the prescribed steps in the "Mission Manual," Liu You skillfully and swiftly applied her morning makeup. She stood up, waved dismissively at her husband who was still lingering lazily on the bed pretending to be dead, retrieved a newly purchased light-colored professional suit from the wardrobe, and walked over to the full-length mirror outside the bedroom to carefully dress herself.

In the modern era, treasures could be found virtually everywhere. Compared to the Six Dynasties era, finding good things was simply too easy.

Who knows how much time had passed, until Chen Hao's emotions gradually stabilized did he finally snap back to his senses.

Nobody knew who had established such a rigid and obnoxious rule: regardless of the condition of the two combatants, no rescue was permitted; otherwise, it would be considered a breach of the agreement. The moment one stepped onto the battlefield, one of them had to die.

For human beings, aside from mastering formidable power, living a healthy life was undoubtedly the greatest dream.

"No need," Yang Shengshi said coldly. Meanwhile, the gaze he cast toward Xue Ke held an additional hint of malice.

Furthermore, keeping Natalia with him would bring her an extra benefit—the status of a single mother would definitely cause certain men with psychological cleanliness fetishes to keep their distance from her. That man who had tried to forcibly kiss her a few months ago had truly disgusted her to the core.

Regarding Feng Chengjin, who had been unusually attentive in caring for her over the past few days and whose eyes often held deep, meaningful smiles, Gu Zixuan tilted her head, feeling that something was slightly amiss.

However, after the eldest of the Du family glanced at the item he retrieved, his expression changed drastically; it turned out to be a military order related to the suppression of a rebellion from years past.

Lu Yan was clearly angered by him, but the moment he got angry, the pain struck him first, rendering him entirely incapable of speaking.

Entrusting one's life to the whims and benevolence of others—mankind was not so naive. When they discovered the truth, a day would inevitably come when peaceful coexistence proved impossible.

Had it not been for her, Gong Yu would not have left home. Had she not left home for Pingcheng, she would not have been deceived by that Ren Jingshu, and thus she would not have died. Therefore, the ultimate culprit was Qingyan.

However, the preparation process for this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was exceptionally troublesome and elaborate, involving more than a dozen kinds of raw ingredients alone. Previously, Hua Qingyan was unwilling to make it because, first, time did not permit, and second, she had not yet gathered all the ingredients.

After finishing his cigarette, Lu Dongting lingered outside to air out the smoke before stepping back inside. Despite this, Su Yao still caught a faint scent of tobacco on him—very mild and not unpleasant.

With that, he wrapped one arm around her waist, cupped her hips with the other, lifted her up, and seated her atop the vanity table. Su Yao instinctively reached backward to steady herself, and instantly, a clattering cascade of skincare products and cosmetics was knocked over.

When Jin Yehua returned from the smoking area and prepared to enter the hospital room, seeing that Xie Yaqin was already awake, he decided not to go in and instead sat down on a chair in the corridor.
