Volume One, Chapter 75: The First Day of Withdrawal

The old man leaned against the wall, gasping for breath and teetering on the verge of collapse. “Help! There’s been a murder!”

Jiang Ning rushed in, assaulted by the pungent smell of alcohol and the sour stench of vomit.

“Of course,” Gu Ye replied with a smile, turning her gaze toward her. Compared to others, she was actually more eager to hear Dai Mengmeng’s opinion.

The team hadn’t entered the city yet; a local police car from Sucheng joined them, skillfully bypassing the city and taking a shortcut from the south, arriving directly at China Manufacturing.

“Who dares trespass? Such audacity!” The old eunuch swept his claws, knocking the arrow to the ground. Without waiting for Zhou Cheng to speak, he charged toward the distant slope, murderous intent surging.

When the light of dawn broke through the gloom to illuminate the horizon, a desolate horn suddenly sounded atop the walls of Chang’an.

On this matter, the assistant was also suffering. “Originally, Sister Qingqing’s schedule was quite full, and her popularity was starting to recover. But recently, Wei Ya from Ning City has become incredibly popular, and...” She stopped abruptly, not daring to continue.

It’s often said that in China the most terrifying relationship is that between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If the mother-in-law has a good temperament, life might be easier. But Jiang Nuan had married into a wealthy family, and unfortunately encountered a less-than-kind mother-in-law, so her days were predictable.

“Yes, yes, that’s right.” Jiang Hudong’s face was full of joy, while Lee Seunggi appeared somewhat crestfallen, his smile wan and faint.

Having suffered a major loss to Shi Tian last time, Zhang Baxian certainly wouldn’t let it go, especially since at this grand Dream Assembly, his prized disciple had been slain by Shi Tian.

The eight elders immediately spoke up, dispersing the crowd. Mostly, it was the excited young fans thrilled to see their idol display his power; the elders remained, over a hundred people stayed at the scene.

He was clearly making things up, but he was certain that the Nine Suns Law Spirit always hoped the Cosmic Law Spirit would manifest as human, and perhaps the Wild Gods of the Heavens were indeed created to lure the Cosmic Law Spirit into human form.

Each Zhang Xingxing, whether in the sky or on the ground, infused different energies and drew mysterious talismans.

Yang Ruoqin took Ye Feng’s hand and said, “Come, this way.” She led him toward the blue corridor. Upon entering, Yang Ruoqin’s figure suddenly vanished, while Ye Feng felt as if struck by a heavy blow and was thrown out.

“To be honest, I was afraid things might escalate into a fight just now,” the clan chief said, smiling at Elder Feng.

He was referring to Chen Hao’s breakthrough in cultivation. Both had nearly exhausted themselves, but that man managed a breakthrough, returning instantly to peak condition. It was as if Ye Feng had fought him twice.

“Oh right! I’ll ask Ye Feng if he’s willing to join us.” Having reached a consensus, Snow Wolf turned and ran toward the training ground where Ye Feng was.

Among the flock, one bird was particularly striking, its feathers ablaze, mysterious and noble, bearing a strong resemblance to a phoenix.

Those unfamiliar with Lu Zang, seeing them wielding laser guns and sensing the terrifying aura Lu Zang emitted, quickly crouched to the ground.

In truth, the one who benefited most from Yan Licheng’s death was Qin Guyue. Previously, Prince Wuye had used Yan Licheng to balance the Flower Queen faction’s power. Now that Yan Licheng was gone, he could only use Qin Guyue. Otherwise, the coveted seat of the right hand would never have fallen to Qin Guyue.

On the Yulong team’s side, armored vehicles handled ammunition transport during battle, so supplies would not be lacking. Therefore, Lu Xuan decided to equip the main squad with AK-47s, while the firepower group would use Type 95 and universal Type 88 machine guns.
