Chapter 38: Stock Account Suspended

"Absolutely not!"

Before Li Moyan could finish her sentence, Chen Yufei jumped in to veto the idea on Chen Xing's behalf.

"Why not? Chen Xing hasn't even refused yet."

Li Moyan’s face turned cold. "Cousin, don't you think you're overstepping your bounds?"

...

"I see." Shao Hua, however, felt there must be some hidden reason behind Xie Gu's sudden disappearance.

The heavy rain did not stop until the next day. The Sword Master put on a disguise and hurried to the nearby Kingdom of Aolai to gather information about recent events. It was the same Aolai tavern, the same seat as last time; the Sword Master sipped his wine while cocking his ear to listen to the conversations of the other patrons.

Yes, he loved money, but collaborating with people from these organizations was about more than just money.

Some of these methods provided Ye Mo with inspiration, though it had to be said that a general archives room was, after all, just a general archives room. The content involved was relatively shallow, and most of it was information Ye Mo had already deduced himself.

The unstoppable momentum was truly overwhelming, making one feel that this was no mere failure of battle, but an irresistible force.

Glancing at Mo Heng, the two did not dare to be as casual with Pei Qin as they had been during the march, sitting upright and responding with due respect.

"Very well." The driver responded with a smile, then turned the car and headed toward Ruixuan Bar.

As the halo expanded to the size of a doorway, the ashes, stones, and dust on the ground were lifted by a powerful suction, rapidly spiraling into the center of the halo before vanishing without a trace.

With internal energy surging, Hao Yang’s true qi flowed through Qianqian’s wrist and traveled throughout her body. After one cycle, his forehead was beaded with sweat.

The Sword Master rushed forward with a roar, then leapt high into the air, bringing his Ruyi Golden Cudgel crashing down toward the forehead of the Ancient Thunder God.

This was also a roundabout way of currying favor with the Shui family; some nouveau riche with nothing but money naturally didn't care about such expenses.

Chris’s people did not show up. Zhang Fei had already made arrangements on her end, so this meeting was primarily an internal one for Zhang Fei’s side.

Zhao Ge had three hundred warriors lying in ambush throughout the Wanghai Building, waiting for Kong Rong’s signal.

Seeing this, although Lin Qingxuan did not understand the situation, he knew that an opportunity not to be missed was at hand. He immediately pointed his lightning-struck wooden staff, and a bolt of lightning struck at the Nascent Soul of the Yuxu Palace ancestor.

Shan Baihu nodded in approval; as expected of a trusted subordinate who had followed him for over a decade, his mind was still sharp.

Yang Mimi did not shout or cheer like Li Shishi; she simply clapped and cheered excitedly from the sidelines.

Hearing someone call her name, Li Qiuyue instinctively turned and saw Zhang Guodong’s mother, Qin Lan.

Hearing the roar from Emperor Zhu, the other team members from Tiancheng University of Technology reacted as well, clenching their fists and shouting loudly.

Fatty Song fell silent, looking at me with a furrowed brow, saying nothing more, as if lost in deep thought.

Although this crocodile had reached the peak of the General tier, it was clearly no match for the silver-armored esper. Its ugly, tough skin already featured several bullet holes, from which blood flowed incessantly.

It was a long, long time later, until he felt the lack of oxygen, that his lips slowly parted from hers.

In any case, he was not facing Lin Shan head-on right now. Even if Lin Shan had reached the fourth level of the Longevity Realm, he could do nothing to him.

Finally, he sought someone to accompany him or tried to avoid going out altogether to prevent any accidents. For a time thereafter, the city was filled with panic; few people went out at night, and those seen on the streets were in small groups of two or three.

Along the way, he had considered every worst-case scenario. If she happened to recall the past, he had brought Wan Lai along, hoping he could at least persuade her for a moment.

Then, a giant hand made of sand grabbed the Fire Ghost and hoisted him up, throwing him away with great force. The Thunder Ghost saw this and didn't hesitate, attacking with lightning from the air, but the lightning had no effect on the sand.

The Dog Clan had six elders, all of whom possessed great magical power. They were in charge of the clan's important affairs and were the guardians of the Spirit Dog. They answered directly to the Spirit Dog, and even the Clan Chief showed them deference.

Sometimes, knowing that those things feared certain temples and statues, he would run to those places to hide, preventing them from catching him.

Just as Hua Qianxian managed to dodge, the purple petals suddenly grew thorns and began to swirl around her.

In the adjacent lounge, Chen Zhiping was eating a feast of meat, his mouth glistening with grease. It was hard to believe that despite such a diet, he carried no excess fat. The door opened, but Chen Zhiping seemed not to notice, focusing entirely on the crispy yellow roast duck on his plate.

There were already seven or eight leaders of the Light Alliance, and with the hall masters and rudder masters combined, there were over a hundred. While such results couldn't compare to the grandmasters, they were far better than those of an ordinary writer.

However, Shi Yue’s constitution differed from Sun Wukong’s. Sun Wukong possessed the Ultimate Yang body like the Jade Emperor, whereas he possessed the Solar Body. Thus, it remained to be seen what changes would occur to Shi Yue under the Samadhi True Fire within the Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover.

The five hundred men led by He Zhi entered the mountain stronghold. Without the fortress's defensive works as a barrier, the two hundred men with low combat effectiveness left behind by Ma Shuangqiang were no match for He Zhi. It took only a dozen minutes to clear out all the bandits left in the stronghold and seize control of the entire place.

The old man wore a gray shirt, his face covered in wrinkles, looking decrepit and senile, with eyes that were cloudy and dim. Yet, the aura that unintentionally flickered across his brow was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat, revealing that this old man was no simple person.

As a secret naval base for the Wuji Army in Youzhou, the land surrounding Liaoying Port was not only strategically treacherous and densely forested, but also sparsely populated and under strict surveillance. Even top-tier professionals would find it difficult to enter without being detected.

Master Roshi paid no attention to the host, as he was busy engaging in a telepathic shouting match with Master Shen, attempting to kill his opponent with his eyes.

At this moment, Yang Chao suddenly reached out and pointed a finger toward Zheng Changhe, Zhang Dongxu, and the others. Suddenly, everyone seemed to fall into a dreamlike state; within the void, vortex-like black holes swirled continuously, erupting with intense and shocking void energy.

Kime stood to the side, watching and thinking to herself, *This isn't right. President Qin's eyes—they really aren't right.*

"What, now you know my items are treasures? Didn't you look down on them before?" Han Yingxue asked with a smile.

He had always been a man without a home, someone who had grown up relying on theft, robbery, and deception. Now, he was simply returning to his old life.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, I am going back now. Don't worry, I will certainly persuade the Master!" the Ninth Princess Consort said helplessly. No matter who it was, no one could be allowed to ruin Yin’s future.

However, these Suzhou dishes did not suit Song Weiyi's palate, so she only tasted them slightly.
