Volume 1, Chapter 63: What Rumors?

Just as the team members who had dispersed to search the surrounding area were returning, high up in an ancient tree not far behind Shi Cheng, a pair of eyes hidden among the dense foliage stared unblinkingly at the muzzle of the Type 03 automatic rifle slung across Shi Cheng's right shoulder. The pupils of those eyes were contracting bit by bit.

I would never let slip an opportunity to beat a drowning dog, especially since he had previously put this old pig through a lot of suffering. That made it all the more impossible for me to pass up the chance to teach him a lesson. Thus, without a moment's hesitation, the moment he failed to react in time, I rushed forward and dealt him a blow right to the head, bringing him down crashing to the ground.

When the number of people dwindled to just over five hundred, the waning moon transformed entirely into a full moon. The various paths of Dao clashing across the sky dispersed harmoniously, and those able to remain until now were the strongest among the strong.

"Isn't that the chief instructor?" Li Tao said. Seeing that there were few people around and they had an excuse to smoke, the four of them walked over.

...As for the eighteenth divination slip... Xinyi was naturally more than familiar with it. Several months ago in Jizhou, that had been the time of her greatest despondency, when she was beaten, scolded, and forced to pay out silver, and even lost one of her divination sticks.

This good-natured joke served as a little diversion amidst their boredom, and no one took offense; laughter echoed throughout the Liu residence. While these people were in high spirits, the various mistresses of the Liu household were displeased—how could a bunch of outsiders behave so presumptuously in their own home? However, knowing these were big shots, they dared not utter a sound.

The two treasures of his own household had always presented a united front against the outside world, except that "the outside" in this case referred to him alone. "My heart aches so much..." Wei Xiao looked at their retreating figures, clutching his chest with an expression of agony.

Qiuqiu, do you know? To get your phone number, how much grievance I endured, and now how could you have forgotten about me? Oh right, I didn't tell her my name back then. I forgive you, Qiuqiu.

Inside the luxurious villa, the sound of water in the bathroom resembled a rushing, eager brook, passing through the exquisite door and echoing gurglingly into the alluring, passionate bedroom.

"I hope this police officer uncle doesn't lack the ability to stop four robbers," Liu Xin prayed in her heart.

"Who knows yet? Maybe they'll create a game as wildly popular as Honor of Kings? Next semester, I'm planning to apply for a transfer of major," Gao Gao said.

You must know that the Heavenly Fox Army had eighteen vice-commanders, among whom it was difficult to distinguish who was stronger or greater. However, the executive vice-commander was different; their status was above all other vice-commanders, second only to one and above all others within the Heavenly Fox Army.

"Understood! Qi Lingyun possesses the Dao of magic, which exists outside the paths of martial arts and divine soul cultivation, and she even has miraculous potions. To speak of it not merely in terms of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's current standing, it will bring incomparable benefits to the prosperity of the Great Qian and the strength of its citizens!" Hong Xuanji said decisively.

Stealthing, reaching the lake shore, and before confirming the positions of her teammates, Greta habitually glanced at the heart rate on her helmet's panel: 76 beats per minute, not bad.

When Shen Zhibai left, Yan Qingkong took out his phone and booked a flight to Ludong Province for the following morning.

"Alright," Moxian replied on his end, continuing to tidy up his things. It wasn't until they each lay down in their beds that the two of them began another round of conversation.

First, he opened the Tianhe Virtual Laboratory for sampling, closed the virtual panel, pinched a magic formula, and chanted incantations under his breath.

To put it bluntly, these support squads were now a manifestation of his own value; they could not be left to fend for themselves and needed people to manage and curate them, especially since the volume of the current fan economy was terrifyingly massive.

At this mention, both brothers were in deep anguish, believing that they bore heavy responsibility for Song Xue's death, and subsequently started arguing among themselves.

The remaining employees who had resigned also looked dejected one by one, while a few closely followed Jiao Qing, seemingly determined to make him take responsibility.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Zichai took something out from her sleeve and handed it to Xie Lan.

Shen Zhan really had no mood left to humor Li Wanqing and the others at this moment. For the past two days, there had been no news of Lin Xinxinh whatsoever, and even the calls made to Lin Xi went unanswered.

The space here was hung with numerous sharp ice daggers, exceptionally sharp. If they were to fall, anyone below could be impaled to death.

President Zhang finally fainted splendidly under a wave of pain and terror, while Shen Zhan, with an expression of disgust, wiped his shoes with his suit jacket, and then prepared to take Lin Xinhui away.

Seeing the worshipful gazes and amazed expressions of the crowd, Dongfang Baili suddenly felt a great boost to his ego, as if he had taken Huiren Kidney Tonic and regained his dignity as a man.

Passing through the snake egg zone, the tremors within the cave lessened considerably, and no more falling rocks plunged from overhead. This was likely because they were no longer within the valley floor's perimeter. Occasional muffled rumbles echoed from afar, and no one could tell what kind of scene the valley floor presented at this very moment.

Because of the previous incident, Cheng Haian was no longer so at ease around Lu Ziyu. At the very least, knowing his feelings for her, she could no longer act without a care in the world.

However, upon hearing the name "Danzhong Bandit," a flash of complex emotion instantly crossed Tang Yu's eyes, though Xuanyuan Tianxin noticed that despite the complexity in his gaze, there was no trace of hatred. Tang Yu's reaction actually brought a sigh of relief to Xuanyuan Tianxin's heart.

It turned out that when Wang Xi had received Chen Gong that day, believing that Cao Cao was sincere about forming an alliance, his entire army rejoiced and let down their guard. They eagerly awaited the envoy to bring back the time and date for the formal alliance, at which point Wang Xi and Cao Cao would personally meet to drink blood and swear alliance.

"——?!" Lansiu and the others opened their eyes wide in mutual astonishment, staring blankly at the silver-haired man holding a wooden saber who had blocked the pursuit of all three of them.

Xun Yu had long heard that Yuan Shu had dozens of spies and death-defying agents stationed in Chang'an, headed by the knight-errant Guo Xiang. Their whereabouts were extremely secretive; their voices were heard, but their forms were never seen. Two recent murders of prominent families in Chang'an city were rumored to have been the work of Guo Xiang.
