Volume 1 Chapter 21: Open Daggers and Hidden Arrows

“Where are we going?” The more Xue Renjie answered straightforwardly, the more curious Xie Lingyun became. She turned her head with a smile and said, “You don’t suppose it’s because I haven’t eaten yet, and you’re taking me out for a nice meal, do you?” She looked very hopeful as she spoke.

Because Ning Lake was in the suburbs, Qing Qian and the others hurried back, and by the time they returned, it was already dusk. The car stopped outside the main gate. Qing Qian hesitated, about to ask the driver to send He Shiyi home first, but He Shiyi stepped out ahead and said, “I should go inside to pay my respects to Uncle.”

At that moment, thunder suddenly roared across the sky, and a spectrum of colors swirled around the horizon. A rainbow fell, bathed in radiant light, and auspicious omens formed in the sky, shaping into the figures of dragons and tigers.

Li Tingchen’s hands were empty, and Su Zhi’s figure darted forward. Then, from the jungle came the shouts of several men.

“Try it and you’ll see. Otherwise, I’ll have to give this World Tree Leaf to Master Adley,” Asa suddenly stepped forward and took the World Tree Leaf from Luya’s hand, glancing at Master Adley.

Under the recent attacks, the monster was clearly injured, its body seeping a bluish liquid, which seemed to be its blood.

Suddenly, fire alarms blared throughout the building, triggered either by someone outside or the building’s security finally cornered and desperate. Xie Dunyan frowned, and another wave of magical pea-shaped attacks surged in, overwhelming the space.

However, once one reaches the realm of the Human Immortal and beyond, spiritual attacks become a means no less potent than physical divine abilities.

In the past, he would have already retaliated, regardless of whether it was the Li family headquarters or anyone else. Provoking Li Tingchen was tantamount to courting death.

“I am aware of your agreement with the commander. But that won’t hold. You must think carefully,” He Shiyi said with a grave expression and resolute tone.

Grandmaster Li extended his hand, and from his palm slowly emerged a ruler-like object, which then shot out a silver light. The Taoist clapped the back of his own head, opened his mouth, and a blue light about an inch long shot out, growing in the wind into a flying sword several feet long.

Since this Yin-Yang Order came into my hands, it has never truly displayed its power. I once tried to use it before, but my body couldn’t sustain it, so I gave up.

He swung it and threw it at Zhou Wu, who was just about to stand. Both were sent flying backwards, crashing through glass and out of the hall.

Although the two old men only spoke a few words, Mi Yang understood their meaning. However, it seemed they had misunderstood something.

But he only mastered one spell: transforming flowers. Beyond that, he could do nothing—he was clueless about powerful offensive spells. Otherwise, Murong Bai wouldn’t have stolen the spotlight in town.

Saying that Ye Heming and I are close because I spilled a cup of wine when we first met? He didn’t even know my name.

This shows that Mu Chen had unknowingly robbed them of their abilities and energy. Such a terrifying person made even him feel a sense of fear.

This also means that from yesterday afternoon’s dinner time until early this morning, Mr. Yan had made dozens of calls.

I don’t know why, but I always feel unfamiliar with them, while they seem to know me well and never go easy on me, always stirring up trouble in various ways.

Zhejiang and other places are among the richest regions in China. They suffered far less from war compared to Henan, Huguang, and northern provinces. The wartime destruction here was minimal, so recovery was hardly an issue. As long as the local people resumed normal production, there would be few problems.

However, not long after setting out, Tang Seng suddenly sensed an overwhelming aura of fierce hostility, and finally detected the presence of the Golden Headband.

“I don’t understand medicine, but I feel there’s always a conspiracy behind coincidences,” Qiao Yutong said with a smile to Song Xiaodong.

No matter how long the future waits, it doesn’t matter. But please, don’t forget the vow made in this moment. Don’t make me leave you with a broken heart again, okay?

Deputy Director Zhao then took Song Xiaodong and Lin Su’er to the office specially arranged for Song Xiaodong.

Li Xiangqian closed the screen, images flashing through his mind. Seemingly absentminded, he shut the chat window, looking very tired as he rubbed his eyes.

Artists who joined the company later, like Chen Fuhao, Zeng Yicheng, and Zeng Weiqing, were all single. They clutched their chests in agony, wailing over missing out on a girl.

Aside from being constantly attended by Su Mo’er in the palace, Liu Qingshan seldom had anyone by his side outside the palace.

After receiving the news, Colonel Shirakawa furrowed his brows deeply. As a commander graduated from the Army University, he fully understood Pingyang Town’s importance to the Japanese army. Now that Pingyang Town had fallen, the situation was extremely unfavorable for the Japanese.

If you want to pin more posts, you have to buy some items, but time is limited, and it cannot last long.

Long Yang heard this and thought it made sense, but what kind of spirit artifact could warrant such a large-scale operation by the Meng family?

Upon entering the bureau, he sighed deeply at the absence of the daytime splendor, then plunged into the account room. Fan Xian sipped tea, waiting. After a while, Fan Sizhe emerged with a confused and innocent expression.

As the sun began to set, just as he was about to check the accounts, someone announced that the Minister of War’s wife requested an audience.

Everyone at the table quickly responded, but inwardly thought: if you truly wished to be a carefree heir, why maintain such close ties with the Fan family, and why be so intimate with the Second Prince?

In a short moment, Liu Manru, her hair still slightly damp, loosely coiled into a bun, returned to the garden.

Thus, humans designated these mutated demon tribes as spiritual beasts, meaning highly intelligent demon beasts, to distinguish them from ordinary demons.

The July moonlight slid along its predetermined path; the night grew deeper and carried a faint air of solemnity and menace.

Reluctantly bidding farewell to the old rogue, though Uncle Li’s words were rough, they made sense. Four years had passed without a child. Not just Uncle Li, even my father subtly mentioned it to me.

Fan Qi’s reputation as a practitioner who made exorbitant demands gradually spread within the Dayan Society’s manor.

“Well done, Wei Min! You’re a special forces soldier who arrived just in time. Your work combating crime in Hongshi County was a huge help and made an important contribution. When County Magistrate Qiao arrives later, I’ll be sure to praise you in front of him,” Chen Junguo said to Zheng Weimin, thumbs up, biting his teeth with a richly expressive face.
