Chapter 47: They Will Really Fight Back

Liu Chang was stunned by such bold words. This guy really had wild ambitions; Baidu was still cooped up in the Legend Building, yet he was already eyeing the construction of a corporate headquarters.

When discussing financing, the most daunting thing is that when you talk to them about sentiment, they talk to you about logic; when you talk to them about logic, they talk to you about money.

"Do you really think you can escape the palm of my hand!" With an angry roar, a gust of wind surged forward, blocking Yin Junfeng's path. Tie Xiangxue's path was blocked, forcing her to stop. Ahead, white mist slowly parted, revealing the hideous and terrifying Han Ji, glaring angrily at her and Yin Junfeng.

Naturally, the more participants in the tournament, the better. Counting them up, he already had twelve trusted subordinates under his command, plus Hua Huiniang from the Spirit Beast Sect and Wu Ying'er from the Purple Thunder Sect, making a total of fourteen people. While falling just short of filling the top sixteen slots, they would likely secure a large majority of the top eight, which in itself was already astonishingly impressive.

Night Sha Moba had even considered offering higher noble titles and fiefdoms to make that girl, the demonic physician Ming Xi, favor their Night Sha Divine Empire instead.

Everyone in the cabin wore an expression of tacit understanding. Without wasting any more time, all eyes converged on the note brought by Gold Tooth.

Because the magical alchemy and medical instructors generally possessed lower cultivation levels, they could not effortlessly project their voices using profound Qi throughout their entire lectures like martial cultivation instructors could.

On his way home, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from his younger sister, asking him to come over to the Ye family villa for dinner.

The smell here wasn't particularly offensive. Logically speaking, with so many skeletons underfoot, the place should have reeked of a foul stench. Perhaps it was because these bones had been here for a very long time, and moreover, this underground passage connected directly to the subterranean city below, allowing chilling drafts to sweep through from time to time, ensuring at the very least that ventilation was not an issue at all.

To Old Eighth the fisherman and the dark-skinned captive dragged back by Wang Chong, these words sounded as though they were being pronounced by a judge straight out of the eighteenth level of hell.

Of course, the most disappointed of all was Sun Chunyuan. After all, everyone assumed Zhu Li would undoubtedly spend the night with her, yet she waited until this late hour without even seeing a trace of him. Just as there was finally some movement at the outer gates, it turned out to be merely Li Wu coming over to deliver a message—and what made it even more grating was that he had gone to Rose Courtyard first.

Seeing her reaction, and recalling Prince Hanyang's subordinates from yesterday—every single one of whom was exceedingly difficult to negotiate with—Master Zhao could not help but frown and shake his head.

Nothing in this world is entirely within anyone's control, nor does it always unfold in the direction one desires. Therefore, despite all her hopes, Ji Ruoyu waited anxiously on this side.

The couple packed their luggage and, without even pausing to inform Yue Shuwen and the others who had yet to wake up, strode straight out the door.

"Gu Xu..." Just softly murmuring these two names caused the defenses of her feigned strength to completely collapse, and in an instant, her eye sockets grew hot and stinging.

However, one thing was certain: the massive diamond Huo Suling had just dug up, even if taken to the open market, would fetch an exorbitant price.

"Zhenzhen! Where are you going!" Prince Liu, who had originally intended to slip away unnoticed, grew anxious at these words and hastily leaped out to ask.

As the phrase "a family of three" was uttered, to say nothing of Yang Yunxi, even the others were slightly taken aback. Yet Zhu Li, who had spoken the words, did not seem to feel the slightest bit unusual, maintaining only a faint, lingering smile.

Someone like You Mu possessed a violent temper, throwing his weight around and acting recklessly on account of his family's influence while looking down on ordinary people. Having suffered such a setback today, he would likely refuse to let the matter rest easily.

Wu Fan walked out of the classroom, making a deliberate detour toward the direction of Class 1. Upon arriving, however, he saw that most of the students had already left and Tang Duoduo was not there either, so he simply headed downstairs and walked toward the school gate.

Instantly, the ground cracked and exploded, pitch-black fissures spreading in all directions. The flagstone pavement was devastated beyond recognition, with stone chips flying in all directions and billowing dust erupting outward.

Furthermore, what alarmed them even more were the two cyborgs. As top agents of the Ministry of State Security, they had naturally heard of such genetically engineered beings.

"It seems to be called Portus, Portus, respected mistress," Calabis carefully corrected.

The two scaled the high wall, only to find rows upon rows of houses, with the faint barking of dogs echoing in the distance. From time to time, burly men in blue martial attire could be seen patrolling the streets, the glow of their torches painting half the night sky as resplendent as an evening sunset.

At the command of the supreme officer, one hundred thousand demons brandished their hoes and dug three feet into the ground in search of the mysterious labyrinthine dungeon.

"Go on then! We weren't counting on you to help lay siege to the city anyway!" Carlos said indifferently. Having earned several hundred gold coins today, he was in a fantastic mood; under any other circumstances, he certainly wouldn't have let people go so easily.

One had to admit that the fat man's taste was truly "unique," forcing even the suave Master Liu to concede defeat. Liu Yan even secretly wondered whether this fellow had time-traveled straight from the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Li Shunli's explanation, Li Yuling inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. If that was the only reason, she truly had nothing to worry about. Besides, for Li Yuling, this wasn't the first time she had encountered such a scene, and her heart had long since grown accustomed to it.

Someone in the ranks spoke up openly. The helmets and armors of the soldiers were covered in frost and snow, and many of them had stuffed leather, sponges, or scraps of woolen blankets into their garments to ward off the biting cold.

The only lingering worry was that the borders were currently in turmoil, and the impending war with the Norzenard of the Black Dragon Empire seemed ready to erupt at any moment. Would this sudden turn of events affect the reinforcements from Fleris City, preventing them from arriving in time for the Festival of the Radiant Sun?
