31. Chapter 31 (Second Update)

In his desperation, Zou Xin found himself speaking incoherently. Just as he was about to rush forward, he was seized by Fatty Zhang.

The more unreasonable demonic cultivators are, the more they revere the strong—to the point where a powerful individual might casually slaughter low-ranking cultivators for amusement at the slightest provocation.

Only upon hearing Ji Wei’s icy voice did Lin Kun finally believe that the call from President Ji was genuine.

This fellow must have been heavily tempted by other NESTS executives. As for the position of General Manager of the NESTS Biological Department held by Yuiwa Maki-shima, with his mastery over the most comprehensive genetic repair and mutation technologies, would he really concern himself with something so superficial?

The next moment, this Heavenly Spiritual Treasure, now traded into the hands of the old monk at Thunder Sound Temple, struck itself, emitting an ethereal "Do! Do!" sound.

High above the clear, vast sky, that unruly and rampant monkey curled his lips into a wicked smile.

This would not only mean confronting Confucianism, which had been passed down for thousands of years, but also dealing with a group of stubborn traditionalists who built their families upon these teachings. While this might not necessarily threaten the stability of the empire, the immense pressure was an objective reality.

Seeing the mushrooms, chestnuts, and various tea mountains above, Luo Yan finally understood the origin of the items from yesterday.

He did not know if the man was truly capable; he feared that if the old woman’s eyes were not cured, he might end up throwing his own life away in the process.

"No need, no need, I can walk myself." After saying this, Song Jin’an strode out of the Shen family home.

The sharp tip of the rock, surging up from the ground, was shattered by the strike of the halberd. As he stepped down, there was another thud; Xia Yi leaped using the momentum, and even the leveled rock crumbled slightly under his foot.

"There must be something!" Officer Liu did not miss the slight relaxation in Wei Tunan’s expression. He sensed something was wrong; there had to be something he had overlooked.

Jiang Yufeng stood where he was, reaching into his sleeve to touch the bottle of hangover medicine that Yun Zhao had forcefully stuffed into his hand, his gaze darkening.

It is just an amazing talent, after all; the future is not yet set. Who is to say she will definitely shine? Zhou Lihui could only comfort himself with these thoughts to make himself feel a little better.

Song Jin’an shuddered reflexively, subconsciously wanting to hide, but with Shen Jingyu by his side, there was nowhere to go. He could only watch helplessly as Xu Weiwei appeared before him.

However, when those cruel, bloodthirsty eyes swept over Qin Chen’s face—which was filled with indifference and coldness—his heart gave a subconscious jolt. Was Qin Chen... truly someone so easy to deal with?

The two argued as they walked, and when they entered the clinic, Xia Yi, having just finished changing his bandages, walked out to meet them.

But for now, all he could do was thicken his skin, turn a deaf ear to the whispers, and act ruthlessly behind the scenes.

Mo Li only knew that the Taijing Dragon Vein was alive. With so many mountains and rivers under heaven, how many dragon veins were there? Had they taken human form, and were they still living in this world? The true bodies of the dragon veins could not move; if a catastrophe struck, they would have no way to escape.

When Zhao Zhengce dropped Wang Dan off at the entrance of her building, she grabbed his hand firmly, refusing to let go.

The college entrance examination of 1977 was unprecedented and likely never to be repeated; it could certainly be recorded as one of the greatest events in world history.

"Sigh, don't ask. We are just here to serve people, aren't we? I told him long ago that there was a meeting, but he hasn't returned yet, so I have to go fetch him."

Kong Xuan laughed, "Buddhism has trapped itself, and its decline is now fully apparent. I heard that you had emerged from seclusion, brother, so I have come specifically to discuss the strategy for the development of Confucianism." Confucianism would eventually flourish, and Kong Xuan was naturally beaming with joy.

The auction catalog featured various primordial Daoist methods and techniques of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, ranging from levels 1 to 5. It was said that some of these could even break through to the sixth level of the primordial stage.

The Second Elder had left, but the remaining people looked at Xia Guo with unkind eyes. The Second Elder was a clan elder after all, and despite his hot temper, he was generally considered to act with impartiality, and there were those who were willing to do his bidding. The clan guards were highly resistant to the disrespectful conduct of the "outsider" Xia Guo.

Following the cry, a powerful aura surged from the ground, causing the expressions of the elders to change drastically. This time, even the old dragon, Clint, had his expression altered.

Suddenly, Yuan Hong spat out a mouthful of blood, and the demon kings around him trembled. The surrounding demonic banners rattled loudly, and many demon soldiers, struck by the demonic aura, immediately lost their minds and began to howl and scream.

"Fellow Daoists, this set of Immortal Spirit Pearls is the first item of the first 'Super Auction' held by our Black Moon Auction House. It is also the first time in nearly a million years that Immortal Spirit Pearls have been auctioned in our Mercury World. It is quite likely to go down in history," Yu Ningxue’s voice provided a timely accompaniment.

Two hours later, the troops were exhausted. The agonizing fatigue made the soldiers complain again; instead of blaming the weather, they questioned the purpose of the journey. Chen Shandao tried several times to soothe them, and although he suppressed their words, he could not smooth away the worry on their faces. Before long, they slowed their pace further.

The magic elements that Nie Feng had absorbed into his body were being continuously converted into his magic power by the mysterious three-pointed magic circle in a unique way.

Bi Yu looked at him coldly, her lips parting to reveal a seemingly indifferent stubbornness. "If you insist on this, I will not persuade you, nor will I beg, but I will find my own way to alleviate the guilt in my heart." After saying this, she actually gave Shentu Yue a faint smile.

She rejoiced at the sound, swallowing her tears and forcing a bright smile. "You've come." She struggled to prop herself up with her elbows, actually attempting to rise.

Compared to these things, that four-and-a-half-million-dollar bracelet wasn't even worth calling trash.

Han Ming sat on the back of the black tortoise, looking back at Murong Wan with lingering affection. He was reluctant to leave, but after a long while, he finally flew toward the outside with a heavy heart.

Ordinarily, such matters were not fit to be discussed in public, especially in front of ordinary mortals, but the Beast-Form Fist had already caused such a commotion that he had no choice but to emerge.

"That is the place the Great General would find it hardest to reach." Can Zhu showed a rare flash of shrewdness, a cold glint flashing between her teeth. "The Prince of Huainan and the Prince of Donghai have a deep-seated hatred for each other, and naturally, they are irreconcilable with the Great General. The Great General would naturally be wary of his territory."

Thinking of this, Yang Xudong felt a sense of disappointment. He had originally expected to see something unimaginable on this third floor; clearly, this time, he was let down.
