Chapter 95: You Cannot Bear the Consequences

"I will give you an explanation," Shangguan Honglie said at last, after a brief moment of stunned silence, his tone cool and measured.

The man who had been tailing them pricked up his ears at the prospect of valuable information. Unwittingly, his foot slipped on something it should not have touched; he began to sink slowly downward, and at the same time, a foul stench assailed his nose.

"Your Majesty, you are wise. Even if I had a hundred times more courage, I would never dare to falsely convey the Empress Dowager's wishes," Xu Mao hastily knelt to the ground, knocking his head in supplication.

Yun Luofei adjusted her skirts and sat beside him. Ling Shaofeng let his hand slide down her arm, naturally interlacing his fingers with hers.

"What exactly are they waiting for? For us to surrender? That's utter nonsense," Sun Min muttered to himself.

This young man was truly resourceful. Even when he was at the Human Immortal stage, he could easily slay beings of the Earth Immortal level. He could command nine Earth Immortal-ranked Golden Armored Divine Generals, and even possessed a silver ghost dragon, whose power was even more terrifying.

Though the room could not be restored to its original state, after some tidying up, it looked far better than when Lu Di had first seen it, having drifted across the sea. Xu Gong sat numbly on the steps, letting the biting wind slap his face again and again.

Li Ming sat idly in the sentry booth at the camp entrance, flipping through a magazine. Today he was on duty leading the team, but he always thought guard duty was a waste of manpower. Who would be so reckless, so desperate, as to threaten the camp?

"Yes, young master. Madam has just returned from a business trip in America," the driver replied respectfully, opening the car door for him after bringing the vehicle to a halt.

"Heh, the size of the Immortal Realm hasn't changed at all!" At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind him.

But regardless, the Shadow of the Demon had been destroyed. And he had just received orders to bomb the place with an atomic bomb.

To Melissa's astonishment, the security at the door seemed not to notice them at all; they didn't even glance in their direction, nor ask for an invitation. Melissa once again witnessed the miraculous abilities of Ye Wudao.

Hearing Zhao Su'e's words, Luo Yingying stuck out her tongue at Liu Yuxia, then pulled Zhang Ling along as they walked inside.

The board of directors in America had just reached a decision, and the very next day, several representatives from the China region came knocking at the door of the "Are You Hungry?" company.

With a tremendous crash, the doors of the abandoned factory were flung wide open as a BMW, covered in scratches, roared inside.

"Senior brother, are there really divine weapons and lost techniques left by elders here?" the junior asked excitedly, his eyes lighting up.

By now, the sun had begun to set. Ye Wudao waited until the last ray of sunlight disappeared before placing the large jar containing Liu Xiangqin's remains into the deep pit. Then he took out some things he had prepared in advance, covered the jar, turned his back to the dying sun, and began to shovel earth over it.

Moments later, when Xiao Yan returned to the guesthouse, he saw Luo Jin and a group of others sitting together, waiting anxiously. Not seeing him return, they had been worried, but now that he was back, everyone finally felt at ease.

As for Li Shuanzhu, his face was filled with excitement. He wanted to speak, but feared angering Director Chen, yet at the same time, he longed to see his son as soon as possible.

At first contact, before he even saw what his opponent looked like, he was forced to his knees. Such a loss of face! If his master questioned him afterwards, he would be in serious trouble. Everyone knew that Elder Wei of the Haotian Sect cared more about saving face than anyone.

"There's no need for Elder Min to worry. Having worked in the antiques world for so many years, you must know there are things in this world that are so convincing, they can pass for the real thing," Ye Qian said.

Muscleman Number Six, drawing on years of close combat experience, realized he had left a huge opening on his back. He knew Li Dong would take advantage, so the very instant Li Dong attacked, he immediately ducked and swept his leg sideways.

Without warning, Ye Qian lifted his foot and kicked Jiang Yi in the stomach so hard that Jiang Yi was sent flying through the air.

Ye Qian was taken aback. He had only wanted an excuse to slip away, but to his surprise, Sect Leader Xiao Daode had entrusted him with full command of the operation.

The news, though abrupt, left everyone somewhat excited. Perhaps Shen Lang had done it on purpose, letting people know he was still around; or perhaps it was unintentional. Now the problem was to determine whether Shen Lang acted deliberately or not.

"How's business lately, Boss Shao?" Seeing his unease, Shen Mo gave a gentle, reassuring smile.

"Golden Eagle King, why is there such a commotion atop Sky Fiend Peak? Has something happened?" As the Golden Eagle King stared in astonishment at the tremendous changes in Qin Tianzong, Qin Tianzong's eyes suddenly flashed with a piercing light.

If he failed to seize the opportunity and let it slip away, even though Shen Luoyan had wiped out twenty thousand enemies, it would still not be a loss.

Why not have one last hurrah before dying? Now that the decision was made, it was time to choose a partner. Karine, perhaps—she would be a good choice and likely wouldn't refuse if he asked. Unfortunately, Karine was still unconscious and couldn't go through with it. What a shame.

Mengmeng had come over with Aunt Sheng, carrying the child. Madam Cui took the baby and played with it for a while.

Sun Yan looked at the price of the adrenaline syringe and couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth. What rubbish—since when did injection drugs come in good and bad quality?

"So there's no need to waste any more time, and you don't have much time left either!" Sun Yan sneered, a cold smirk on his lips.

Since Guyuan Sect refused to heed advice, they might as well sit back and watch the spectacle. Some people just don't cry until they see the coffin.

He simply treated the wound, without using any ointment to prevent scarring. Huo Buhui didn't mind bearing a mark that belonged to Shu Yuanyuan.

All that could be said was that today, Du Tong, who usually never stuck his neck out, had struck it lucky.
