Chapter 35: Cooperation

After finishing his piece, Xu Xingyu glanced at Boss Qian and the other two. "Third Brother, I don't think it’s a bad idea. Think about it: if we go back now, we have no men and no money. How are we supposed to take revenge on those two?"

"It would be better for us to settle down first. We can cooperate with Boss Qian, earn some money, and then recruit more people. Once the time is right, we can return. Besides, since we have the primary supplier here, they will only be able to pull off minor tricks from now on. Taking our revenge later will be as easy as turning over a hand."

Mu Xingjue set aside his cynical demeanor.

After signing the betting agreement with Huang Chang and sharing dinner, Lin Han and Jiang Lai returned to their hotel.

The members of the Shi family all walked out of the conference room, while the senior executives of the Cheng family remained inside their own.

When the intruder came up, Ran Feng had already recognized him; it was Sun Zheren, the newly appointed leader of the Yundu Martial Arts Association. He had assumed the Holy See had sent someone to ambush him, but he hadn't expected it to be Sun Zheren. If he was going to show up, he could have at least done it openly instead of wrapping himself up tight like a common thief.

The full vat of red wine rippled, surged, enveloped, and spilled over, eventually splashing everywhere before finally returning to stillness.

Seeing Mo Li’s confusion, the Ghost Saint explained: "The old man’s illness isn't really an illness at all. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of things. His essence and lifespan have been nearly exhausted, which is why he appears so frail and deathly pale."

"Don't even think about it!" A soft sword appeared in Wang Hongyu’s hand. Facing Tang Tian, a half-step master, she showed not a hint of fear.

Bai Mu gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, entering a state of void, letting the black sand scour and temper his body.

Generally, for large-scale high-society balls like this, invitations are sent out a week or even a month in advance, as every socialite has their own schedule that needs to be accommodated.

The situation that followed was easy to imagine. Since Wang Feng didn't need any weapons and happened to be short on cash at the time, and Xiahou Jichi wanted it, he simply sold it to him. But who could have foreseen that the object would undergo such a transformation? It was completely beyond Wang Feng's expectations.

Watching Xu Bingyun walk away, Chen Feng scanned his surroundings and spotted a corner on the left where the lights were dimmer. It was also quite quiet, with no one huddled there posturing.

Luxury goods are inherently symbols of class and wealth, and there is nothing wrong with determining their ownership through auction.

Xu Jing sighed softly. With her son having found someone he loves at a time like this, she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

The animal skin parchment that Elder Zhu had given to Chen Fan contained some records, but they were very vague and lacked the fundamental essence.

It was as if thousands of sharp thorns had been thrust out, tearing through the void and creating a terrifying whistle as they lunged toward the Armor Emperor.

Shaking his head, Mu Heng then, in full view of everyone, gave a light leap and jumped off the ring.

Many people also remained behind, either to view the other weapons of the Jin family or to discuss weapon forging matters with them.

Because Xu Yan’s face was too recognizable, she specifically wore a veil to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Xu Yan also sensed that something was wrong with Yang Sheng. She was a bit angry at the moment, yet she couldn't refute his words; Yang Sheng was making a very logical point. Now that they were in Bian City without Zhu Zhipeng’s instructions, Wei Zhongxian would certainly not act rashly.

Previously, before Lin Yi had stepped into the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, entering the deepest part of the Desolate Mountains had been too dangerous. Now, however, it was a good opportunity, as the danger was undoubtedly greatly reduced by entering alongside these silver and bronze retainers under Gu Yun.

With the strength of a second-step Nirvana realm, he suppressed the strongest Venerable of the third-step Nirvana realm, forcing the old man to retreat step by step until he was almost doomed.

In that brief moment, Yun Shu felt a chill from head to toe as she clearly heard every word the man said.

Everything had been going smoothly, but as soon as Zhang Ziyu approached, the two giant beasts instinctively sensed a threat, immediately turned around, and let out an earth-shattering roar.
