Chapter 53

Wang Tian kept his mouth tightly shut, knowing better than to speak at a moment like this. He was well aware that Guo Cai must have been plotting a way to deal with Zhao Liuru. His role was merely that of a prop, and the most sensible thing a prop could do was to remain silent—that was the ultimate function of a prop.

Although Shen Hao was not the one who actually made the move, those merits likely fell upon him anyway, which was why True Monarch Haoyang honored his promise.

Lü Fei had not mentioned it while they were inside, but as bosom friends of many years, the moment she heard Fan Shuiqing ask if the afternoon gathering was with Shangguan Shi's usual circle, she instantly figured out what was being plotted.

Clap! Wang Tao handed the keys to Zhang Chi, who took them and began wiping down the car with great efficiency and a towel. He wiped it meticulously under the sunlight, occasionally breathing on the surface to polish it gently, and once the wiping was finished, he started applying wax section by section.

Among the cultivators participating in this duel, there was actually a beast tamer who summoned a late-stage tier-one black panther demonic beast.

As time passed, the reputation of the Black Dragon Corporation spread further and further, and Black Dragon became synonymous with Qinjiang.

Ye Beixiao approached the outer gates of the abandoned courtyard, only to find it filled with blooming wildflowers, as if someone had been meticulously tending to them all along.

Yuan Qiuhua said, "We should sit down together and talk things out like civilized people. Closing doors to offer advice comes from no malicious intent, but whispering criticisms behind backs shows a deliberate heart. Yet here you are, muddling the waters and deliberately playing devil's advocate? Ah, dealing with someone like you who is impervious to reason and completely unbendable is simply hopeless."

"Baka yarou, defeat them no matter what and charge through!" the Japanese military commander shouted frantically as he maneuvered about. Faced with the formidable firepower of the East Sea Fleet, he was utterly helpless and firmly blocked right here.

Gu Qingzhao had long since hinted to him about the reasons behind the bizarre and treacherous current situation—most likely, it was being orchestrated from behind the scenes by the Thunder Origin Sect.

Time ticked away drop by drop, and by past eleven o'clock, guests at the banquet began leaving one after another.

Let alone an ordinary man like Zheng Linshan, even a man who had trained in martial arts for some time might not necessarily be able to defeat him.

Before the words faded, four thick, dark green vines suddenly burst out from the emerald-green light cluster, entangling the necks of the four green-eyed zombies and dragging them straight into the light.

At Fortune Restaurant, pig offal such as pig livers and lungs still found buyers among the customers, but no one wanted the pig large intestines.

Jie Xuanrao narrowed his eyes as he looked at Mu Qiongyue, who grew somewhat flustered under his gaze. She let out a couple of nervous chuckles and cast her eyes elsewhere.

Customers continued to enter the fitness center one after another, heading straight to the workout equipment of their choice to begin their training.

Through the bright window of the hospital room, sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell upon the floor, casting mottled, dazzlingly clear patterns of light.

Ever since Mu Xue's arrival shortly before, the clan relatives had only seen her once. Because of the previous incident, Zhao Mingyu's family had never obtained Zhao Changqing's permission to come knocking on the door to acknowledge their kinship.

By the time the sun climbed high into the sky, the entire village remained wrapped in a profound silence, devoid of human voices.

"So many days have passed, and he still hasn't been found. You must mentally prepare yourself," Qiao Siyuan said with a stern and solemn expression.

Yin Sheng, Situ Zheng, Yin Guo, and the others burst into laughter once again, while Xu Zhifeng accompanied them with a few faint smiles.

At the headquarters of the All-Heaven Alliance, twelve majestic, towering palaces of distinct architectural styles represented the twelve sects, guarding the supreme central palace that held the ultimate authority. It radiated a sacred brilliance, standing steadfast like a mountain with the imposing aura of an overlord ruling a domain.

Knowing that taking that palm strike head-on would leave him severely injured, the iguana cast aside all hesitation and desperately forced the Ghost-Wolf Transformation into its third consecutive activation.

Although Hua Ming and his companions were not people of the pugilistic world, they knew that Xiao Tuo's speed just moments ago was beyond the reach of ordinary mortals—it was practically a gust of wind—and they could not help worrying whether the master they had hired might fail.

"Wuwuwu, it feels so good to be married to you, I'm almost moved to tears." Hearing this, Li Yue lunged forward in a bear hug, wrapping her arms tightly around Muyang.

Her sole thought now was to remain by his side; no matter how many hardships lay ahead, she would not feel an ounce of fear.

"It's useless. No one can block the Five Elements Grand Array, not even a transcendent entity." Amidst Jin Tiandu's roar, the Five Elements Grand Array was driven to its limits, and wave after wave of Five Elements force began exerting pressure, gradually shattering the surging demonic Qi bit by bit.

Naturally, since someone had brought the fight right to his doorstep, Jiang Yuanhe was not one to simply take a beating without retaliating. He began trading blows from afar with Su Mu, while Boss Dong of Guanhua Tower spared no effort in backing Jiang Yuanhe up.

Upon seeing this, the carriage driver was immediately enraged to find some ignorant fools daring to block the Prime Minister's carriage, and he barked fiercely at the child.

The scene was far too bloody; even if Sanlang's incident had not occurred, it would have haunted her with nightmares for years to come. Now, with Sanlang having been carried away, she would remain trapped in the shadow of that horrific sight for the rest of her life.

Seeing the gazes from below all fixed upon him, the commissioner hesitated for a moment before speaking, yet he stopped midway through his sentence.

Upon hearing twenty-four million five hundred thousand, the crowd fell completely silent, and no one else came forward to raise the bid.

Especially after experiencing a night of slaughter and Li Feng's life-and-death uncertainty on his account, he even began to harbor doubts about his own actions.

This was an excellent opportunity, and it fell right within Gu Zhao's plan to break the deadlock. Originally, Gu Zhao had intended to wait until the film premiered in Victoria Harbour before contacting these film tycoons, but he had never expected the preeminent tycoon to appear right before him already.

At this very moment, Piao Wuji's figure had completely vanished, leaving everyone with nothing to witness save for a completely erupted ocean of lightning.

"Humph! This Shi Hai really thinks he's somebody. Instead of coming to pay his respects to me, he expects me to go see him—simply outrageous!" Feng Zhi cursed.
