Chapter 50: Thunder

“I can’t be with her.” Mu Anyan spoke calmly, but his heart was a storm of turmoil.

“Why not?” Qin Jin didn’t understand.

Mu Anyan felt a tightness in his chest, his brows furrowed deeply. How could he explain? There was simply no way to put it into words.

Qin Jin watched him—someone who rarely showed emotion—yet today, for once, he caught a glimpse of something beneath the surface...

Because Cui Xiufang was also one of the few reliable employees, albeit always in a supporting role. Lu Haoran had specially summoned her over, preparing to promote her.

Moreover, Li Yu had crafted a large number of pills to awaken spiritual intelligence, and now Lanlan’s intellect was on par with that of an ordinary person.

She indeed had many questions to ask, but then she remembered another truth: as children grow older, they no longer obey their mother.

“Let’s go! The usual rules apply, but this time with an added clause: anyone severely injured loses one contribution point!” One point was equivalent to slaying a cultivation master at the Tribulation Crossing stage, and the final spoils were roughly equal to the entire fortune of an ordinary master at that stage.

Originally, he thought the Heavenly Venerable was aloof and unreachable, but to his surprise, the Heavenly Secrets Venerable lived in a humble Daoist palace, maintaining a completely concealed aura, appearing like a serene man in his sixties, calmly conversing with Li Yu.

After Emperor Xin finished his midday meal, Zhao Quanyou arrived at the general’s residence right on time, as if stepping precisely on the hour, to conduct another examination for Emperor Xin.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng’s clone smiled and shook his head, about to speak, but suddenly his expression changed, then quickly returned to its usual composed demeanor.

The scenery around her grew increasingly surreal. She barely glanced at her surroundings and decisively changed course toward the cold palace.

The flying ship came to a stop above Phoenix City. More than a hundred people disembarked, standing tall and proud.

Jiang Manzhi admitted she was sowing discord, driving a wedge between him and Shen Xiaosong, but their relationship had never been good to begin with.

Elder Long avoided discussing Long Tianwei’s suggestion to investigate Second Uncle’s disability, instead busily analyzing the political situation in the capital.

With Duan Qiu’s careful observation, she became more convinced that her guess was correct—this place was indeed a tomb.

Behind these liches and death knights lay an undead realm governed by five undead lords. Snow Moon’s interference now was sheer suicide.

Five billion—that was the investment for the construction project! And soon, they would be working in such a futuristic building! Just imagining the workplace stirred excitement in many employees.

Some might ask, if I’m so formidable, how did I end up severely injured by two assassins before?

Jiang Liuyun’s half-awake eyes finally opened. A red cloud still hovered above his head, and the azure pearl floated with it. But Chen Jing clearly sensed that the pearl and the red cloud were beginning to merge—a stark difference from three years ago when he saw him in Xiuchun Bay, where the pearl and cloud felt distinctly separate.

Chen Jing looked at the four pursuers and thought to himself, those four must be deities. What could be on Qianluo Mountain that attracted them?

Originally, the water python intended to completely envelop Chu Tianyu’s neck and head, suffocating him to death.

“I understand now, you miss my brother. Don’t worry, he will return. You must have faith in him.” Long Xiaoyun saw through Wei Xueman’s thoughts and spoke gently to comfort her.

From the eyes beneath the armpits shot two terrifying beams of light, aiming straight for Wang Wei’s forehead. Though the plan was to break Wang Wei’s leg, Sima Jian attacked his head first—he wanted Wang Wei dead.

“How did the virgin become Wang Wei? Is he still considered a virgin?” Hu Xingjun, standing nearby, asked puzzled.

Chuxin only felt as if her head had been struck violently. She slowly opened her eyes, her vision gradually clearing.
