Volume One, Chapter 39: One Evil Subdues Another

After several more pieces of the multicolored divine stones appeared, the faces of the cult leaders grew increasingly anxious. In truth, as a fleet commander, Rear Admiral Dillies had always been diligent. His dream was to create an invincible fleet for the German Empire, one that would someday roam the world’s oceans like the British Royal Navy.

“Hah, a real man! Six years ago, when I used my head to fight for a mouthful of food, you were still groveling somewhere, not even knowing where you stood! That's the true measure of a man.”

Wang Jiangnan, however, said nothing, his face cold. Perhaps I had ruined his chance to play the hero and save the beauty; he probably couldn’t hate me enough.

“Could it be the ‘Supreme Crystal Stone’?!” Zhang Guodong’s eyes shone with an unprecedented light, like a wolf spotting fresh meat.

At the same time, several phones rang in the command compound of the Chengdu Military District, reaching the XX Military Commission and the XX Politburo hotline.

Yet, while the situation was stable on the surface, this did not mean a few had abandoned their pursuit. Led by the Zhu family in Nanjing JQ, and aided by several factions in the central government already dissatisfied with the Yang and Ye families, some began to show abnormal behavior. Instantly, the Yang family felt immense pressure.

As the words fell, Nangong Wufeng’s pupils contracted sharply in shock, for the long sword of the Fourth Elder, which he believed had been hidden deep enough, was suddenly caught by Ye Wudao’s hand resting on his back! As if everything had been anticipated.

“Guodong, wake up!” Li Yun approached Zhang Guodong, but he was completely oblivious. Li Yun wanted to pinch him, but feared he’d lose himself entirely.

It seemed I hadn’t left a good impression on Princess Qianyu, and rightly so. If not, things wouldn’t have been so chaotic.

Had she not cured his father from poison months ago, he would have already claimed that throne! Had her people not assisted his father in capturing the poisoner, he wouldn’t have lost his own younger brother! In the end, not only did he fail to ascend, but his brother confessed to poisoning to shield him, and was executed in his place.

Tang Yiheng’s eyes flashed with a trace of pain, and Gu Nian did not miss the fleeting emotion, her heart instantly clenched.

“In the master’s heart, there is only the Heaven-Mending Relic!” Jia Yuanhua sighed deeply, full of emotion and reflection.

For a moment, even grandmother felt uneasy. She clutched the yellow pouch from the spirit woman tightly and hurried downstairs. Upon arriving at the spirit woman’s house, the woman sprinkled water on Axuan’s grandmother, said to dispel evil spirits—essentially a kind of purification.

“Sigh, this is a tough matter. Even if I were to handle it, this amount of money would barely suffice. These villagers have pinpointed our weakness, and negotiating won't be easy,” Old Master Ma said.

But unfortunately, Xiaoyaozi did not see this; his eyes remained gently closed, but his expression changed, becoming not only serene but also smiling.

Today, however, he was determined to take Tang Yun back, to imprison her, and never let her embarrass herself again.

Aside from that, nothing special was found in the courtyard. I returned to the house and told Iron Eagle about my findings.

Long Che suppressed his shock, his gaze deep as a lake. When the shadow departed, he led Shen Wanyue into the sleeping quarters.

“Uh… Where is President Li now? Let’s go see him,” the person on the phone said respectfully.

“Damn! Who the hell are you?!” The man had asked this question for the third time and even felt a bit ashamed.

No matter how much she liked Yufan, it could never surpass her love for her own son. Hearing Yufan’s words now, she instantly felt uncomfortable.

If one were to directly appeal to the mayor, accusations would arise—what benefits had been gained, or even connections to corruption and bribery.

It was summer, with long days and short nights. At five in the morning, the sun was already high in the sky, its fierce rays dazzling like crystal, illuminating all directions.

Thus, two quiet days passed, but the noise outside grew ever louder, and Mo Li’s recovery was almost complete.

Wu Jiuyou and the One-Eyed Immortal tacitly stopped interfering, quietly regulating their breathing. After all, no one could predict how the battle would unfold.

But her smile was pale, her eyes damp at the corners. Then she slept—or rather, she was thoroughly drunk.

“Why did you suddenly bring up her again?” Wind Shadow’s suspicion deepened after hearing Mo Li’s words.

Shan Wufeng shouted loudly, without reverence, without trembling, just simple curiosity. Everyone admired him—his nerves were truly thick.

Unlike before, after enlightenment, the monkey’s malevolent aura had entirely faded, replaced by a harmonious presence, holy and transcendent.

Oates was truly unfortunate this time. In the second battle, he faced Du Peng, whose light attribute naturally countered his own, and was defeated and seriously injured.

“Damn it, come on! Stars will destroy you!” Meng Xing understood instantly, shouting angrily and immediately attracting the attention of two people and a dog in the house.

As for Zhao Ting's performance, none of the professors present found it inappropriate. If someone in their family suffered such an illness, upon recovery, their mood would surely be similar.

Indeed, graphene is vital to every industry: agriculture, manufacturing, even military and aerospace—all require vast quantities of graphene.

When seven attributes entered the source stone simultaneously, the emerald-green life source stone trembled, as if green energy flowed within.

Facing the terrifying pressure, Chen Lixin’s legs grew weak as he spoke, the divine power of the Violet Eyes scanning everywhere.

When it came to the Sky Ghost tribe, they listed a host of rare treasures, but Xue Shisan found none of value to himself.

The bathroom in the Tang family villa was not dirty. Upon entering, Wang Bing even detected a faint fragrance.

Morning Star’s overnight fame—what did it mean? It meant sufficient cultivation resources. Ma Su understood well: only by advancing to Golden Immortal was the proper path. But who was Morning Star? Ma Su did not know, though he knew the one who guided Morning Star.
