Volume 1, Chapter 27: Lu Xiuyi Panicked

“Would an outsider send your father to the hospital in the middle of the night, hand over all his own money, and then end up having to work on a construction site?”

The more Lu Xiuyi spoke, the colder the smile at the corners of his mouth became.

Li Lianhua and Lu Fengnan were rendered speechless by Lu Xiuyi’s string of questions, leaving them no way to argue.

Lu Xiuyi paid no heed to what they might think and continued speaking to himself.

“I’m sorry about what happened back then,” Jiang Shaochen said helplessly. “Isn’t that why I’m trying to make it up to you now?”

The essence of desire formed after the Fear Behemoth, like a greedy colossal whale, had been refined through karmic fire was highly concentrated. He could sense the Heavenly Law stirring in response.

Everyone broke into a sweat. That was it? How could an existence ranked second in the world, surpassed only by you, be unable to fight? Wasn’t that obvious? And what did “a little too talkative” even mean?

When everyone saw this, longing and admiration arose in their hearts. Evil views gradually took root within them, destroying their seeds of goodness and wisdom. This was known as a Charm Demon.

Or had something gone wrong along the way? Something Xia Yichen had not anticipated, resulting in this outcome?

Lu Zhongde took the envelope handed to him with trembling hands. When he opened it, he found the plane tickets that had already been purchased, along with a forged passport.

Su Ningxuan did not know until the moment of his death how Mu Wufeng had suddenly recovered some of his sword energy. In truth, Mu Wufeng himself had no idea what had caused it. He had merely felt some sword energy appear out of nowhere within his body. Then, acting on instinct, he attacked and slew Su Ningxuan where he stood.

“That’s enough!” Ji Qiuhua rose and left for the room next door. The room contained two bedrooms and a sitting room, making it one of the most luxurious quarters aboard the entire flying vessel. It had been the reward Zhou Yi and Ji Qiuhua received after saving everyone aboard, and master and disciple had each been given a room.

At that moment, Yan Qingruo had only one thought: that Chu Shijia might actually listen to what she was saying. She no longer cared about anything else and clutched his hand while talking to him incessantly.

Sometimes she would even ask him for money in bed, because at such moments he would not refuse her. In truth, he would not refuse her under normal circumstances either, but that was simply how people were: if one did not earn one’s own money, one was beholden to others, and naturally placed oneself beneath them.

“Immortal Master Tang, Immortal Master Tang.” Blocked by a group of burly men from the Peaceful Way, Zhang Huang kept waving toward Tang Zhou.

The gods and immortals could do nothing to the Swiftwind Sect, nor could they punish the grandson of the Prince of Pacifying the South. Surely they could still bring a bandit from Passionate Manor to justice?

Tang Zhou was still pondering the matter when his eyes suddenly shifted slightly.

It turned out that he had spotted Zhang Huang in the distance.

Fang Liang, who had fully regained his clarity of mind, was overjoyed. This time, he had found himself in grave danger, but danger and opportunity had existed side by side.

The Hall of Heavenly Tranquility had already lost its qualifications. Now that it had heard Qin Fengming’s words, it naturally did everything it could to echo them.

“That’s right. You must provide another twenty million to make up for our losses. Only then can we continue!” the deep voice said in a tone that was almost calm.

“Qi’er, since you’ve come this time, stay a few more days if there’s nothing urgent,” Fang Fei said.

Zhao Yingkong’s progress was also astonishingly obvious. After obtaining Vidar’s Boots, her agility and combat style had risen to yet another level. Combined with her self-created skills, Flashing Spirit Vacuum Wave and Blue Heavens, Yellow Springs, her strength was comparable to that of Destruction Zheng Zha at the third stage.

“This young man is no ordinary person. To destroy him, we will need to join forces with quite a few fellow cultivators and factions,” the old man said slowly, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.

Using the Other Shore Flowers was clearly impossible. He had already seized every one of them from the First Hell of the Netherworld.

“Look, even they know how to do it, but you still don’t. Aren’t you ashamed of your passport?” Hua Zai said as he looked at Gu Miao.

There were plants capable of moving at night, but there were not enough of them to withstand such a massive force.
