Volume 1, Chapter 146: Settled

Stepping out of the research institute, Shen Zhaowu came to a sudden halt. The little firecracker behind her collided with her immediately. Zhou Niannian let out an "ouch," rubbed her forehead, and complained, "Why did you stop so suddenly?"

"I'm not going back yet. You go ahead with Yue Zhi."

Tomorrow marked the beginning of the auction, and by now, almost all the factions expected to attend had arrived.

Bu Chan felt quite resentful that Zhou Chu had stolen the spotlight. When it came to knowledge of the Wu Kingdom, Bu Chan had been stationed in Xiling all along and was far more familiar with the situation in the Jingzhou region than Zhou Chu.

"Five seconds! Muda, muda!" Diego grabbed a handful of throwing knives and hurled them toward Johnny in a torrential, overwhelming barrage.

A smile appeared on An Ping's lips—one could even call it a foolish grin. Seeing this, Chu Feng’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

If one were to speak of suspects, aside from him, only Ao Longtian, the former lord of the Lanyue Kingdom, possessed such capabilities.

However, Chu Feng had no intention of surrendering without a fight. He pulled up the system and began to carefully search the exchange store for something that could counter them.

With the Great Wall, the Han dynasties possessed a defensive breakwater. When the beacon fires at the passes were lit and warnings sounded, the various commanderies and counties within the border had ample time to mobilize troops or flee to safety.

Two sects were entrenched here: the Yiwu True Sect and the Limen Academy. The Yiwu True Sect occupied the southwest peak, while the Limen Academy held the northeast peak.

Furthermore, with Gyro and Johnny being top candidates, this result was indeed quite disheartening.

Liu Jing’s heart hammered against her ribs. It just so happened that Dandan had gone out to buy things. Liu Jing mentioned she was feeling unwell and wanted to leave, but her request was refused.

The lean man turned his head. A massive hand gripped his face and hoisted him into the air. Through the gaps between the fingers, he could vaguely see a pair of sharp fangs, glinting in the moonlight, slowly drawing closer. They paused briefly at his carotid artery before piercing into the vessel as easily as if poking through paper.

"So it is the Young Sect Master Qiu. You have intruded into this star? Could it be to challenge Lord Tianlin?"

"Cavalry! Cavalry! Assemble the light cavalry regiment immediately and follow me to Beijing! The mounted infantry, heavy cavalry battalions, and artillery mobile companies are to cover the rear. If we fail to defend the Old Summer Palace and let those foreign devils destroy Beijing, I will be a sinner for all eternity!" The tips of Guo Xing'a's fingers went cold.

Upon hearing these words, Consort Shu shuddered violently, her expression turning ghastly as she turned toward the internal guards who were looking in her direction.

This spaceship was equipped with a dark matter engine, which, once activated, could form a dark matter protective layer over the ship’s hull.

In the next instant, he saw a towering purple sword aura descend, shattering his divine ability in a heartbeat and striking toward his head.

The toxins carried by the venomous frog-men were instantly purified by this eternal white light, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple.

His momentum was grand and overwhelming. As he charged, he carried not only boundless killing intent but also the sound of wind and thunder, gathering a formidable aura.

Finally, the sky grew thick with dark clouds. Lightning tore across the horizon, and a rift appeared in the firmament. Everyone ceased their fighting and gazed into the distance.

Not long after, Lin Zhao led his many cavalrymen out of the village, bringing with him over 2,000 hunters and their families as they returned to the Heavenly Pool of the Snow Region.

After speaking, Bai Shuang took out another pill from her mysterious jade bracelet—a Soul-Devouring Pill of Heavenly Yin that she had just refined, still warm to the touch.

The nurse stared at the photo on her phone, unable to contain her excitement, but when she turned back around, Xiao Yu was nowhere to be seen.

He had only intended to teach Gu Qingyu a lesson and make him realize the severity of his injuries so he would honestly go and recuperate; naturally, he had not used much force.

First the death of her family, then the death of her fiancé in battle—if, on top of that, she were to lose the child in her womb, he could hardly imagine what would become of Lin Yufei.
