Volume One, Chapter 109: Jiang Yingli Has Gone Missing!

It was impossible to tell whether Yuan Yanzhou had noticed that she was missing.

Yan Jue saw the contempt on Tang Huai’s face, and fury surged in his chest. With a turn of the three-foot sword light in his hand, he charged at him. Yan Jue showed no mercy; with a flick of his blade, a ten-foot blaze swept toward Tang Huai. The raging fire carried a domineering sword aura, and if it struck, not even bones would remain.

There was a barb hidden in Huang Wei’s words. Outwardly, however, he maintained a posture of fairness as he tested Guo Jia’s reaction.

Almost at the same moment, Xiong Meng spotted the ninjas. The guards stationed on both flanks of the Eastern sea troops immediately raised their wide bamboo shields, then hurled the bamboo spears in their hands. Half of the ninjas in the air were taken down in a dense volley.

“You two are far too noisy. Su Yu, let me take Mei Qin’s place. Stop bullying her.” Misaka Misuzu opened her eyes helplessly, unwilling to watch Misaka Mikoto suffer any longer.

Xie Chuan gave a cold snort, his eyes full of disdain. With a single wave of his hand, he prepared to seize Ye Cang’s longsword bare-handed.

At that moment, Lan Kou opened her innocent, wide eyes, her clear and watery gaze fixed on the one tribulation-stage loose immortal advancing step by step toward her.

Bai Mei also understood the confusion that had weighed on the girl’s heart for so many years, and so he slowly walked up to Liu Fengyi and placed a hand on her head.

Ye Cang frowned. He had originally thought Feng Xiu was merely from an ordinary divorced family, but he had not expected such a tangled history behind her.

“I have to return to my country. I just haven’t worked out how to properly handle the embezzled funds once I go back,” Yan Monan said with a sigh.

Later, he was caught by the police in the United States, and the bank card Ye Cang had given him earlier was found on him.

The land acquisition task force, in order to push the expropriation work forward, decided to let the village and group cadres reap some benefits. If those cadres threw down their tools at a critical moment, it would affect the entire land acquisition effort.

Could it be that those evil spirits knew he had come prepared, so they were all lying in ambush around him, not daring to strike too early, planning to wait until he let his guard down before delivering a fatal blow?

When Bisos said that, Wang Dong’s brow twitched a few times, and his face quickly darkened. It was clear that murderous intent had risen in him.

Only, what shocked Xiao Chuyun was that the strange beast he encountered was exactly the soul-devouring beast recorded in the scroll.

A youth in white robes, with delicate features and a handsome face, stood there with empty, lifeless eyes, a purple-gold crown upon his head.

His body, split into two halves, remained unbroken under the crushing force of terror and the relentless bombardment of lightning. Every inch of flesh, every drop of blood, was unable to escape its fate. Though some was ultimately annihilated, under the power of his immense life source, the greater part was preserved.

“So nimble,” came voices of surprise from all around. The many cultivators were greatly astonished by Xiao Chuyun.

Seeing this, the steadfast look in Yang Mucheng’s eyes made the red-robed elder immediately understand what the other man was thinking. At that moment, how could he still dare harbor even the slightest trace of his former thoughts?

A Xian Nu blasted apart a demon beast trying to force its way in with a single shot; the chilling ghostly qi instantly froze the creature into ice. The battle slave beside her immediately sealed the gap, blocking the demon beasts that surged and hammered forward like a tide.

Still, there was nothing to worry about. Didn’t they get through last year the same way? No need to be timid—just go all out.

Whenever Madam Fan started cursing, the same filthy words would spill from her mouth, and Yue Chu could have her first insult and her second one memorized even with her eyes closed.
