Chapter 26

The ability to maintain control is often the key to real combat; it is also the mark of the strong, and the deciding factor in navigating the entirety of any battlefield.

Because the indiscriminate bombardment had suddenly ceased, the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, which had been in chaos only a moment before, fell into a deathly silence. This sudden stillness left everyone in the Holy Land feeling disoriented, the intangible, oppressive atmosphere making it difficult for many to even breathe.

Regardless of anything else, ensuring she delivers the child safely is the absolute priority right now.

The Ancestor of the Kirin revealed his true form—a black kirin towering ten thousand feet high—and tilted his head back to let out a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar.

Brook Town is considered a decent place in this region, so living here is a fairly good choice.

Several men gradually surrounded Qin Tian and his group. Qin Tian retreated backward with Song Zhi, glancing at Zheng Kai as he did so. Zheng Kai gave a slow nod. The two of them moved toward the back of Chen He, preparing to strike.

"Hello everyone, I am Qian Hai, a member of the challenge team." He was a very chubby young man, about twenty years old, with an exceedingly honest and simple appearance.

"I feel that if we are going to act, we should do it well; otherwise, we would be failing the audience who came to watch." As a professional actor, Lu Yi possessed a strong sense of professional integrity.

He moved with deliberate gentleness, took the computer, and reviewed the video, only to discover that no one had entered Jian Yi’s office throughout the entire night.

The evening breeze blew softly, carrying the faint, tranquil scent of lotus flowers. Yun Ze was set to return home early the next morning and had come specifically to bid his sister farewell. Jin Niang brewed a pot of tea and then led the servants away, leaving the brother and sister alone in the pavilion.

"I thought the same. After I dove down, I reached the bottom of the well, but no sooner had I arrived than a surge of water pushed me right back up... That bailiff used to be in the Navy and didn't believe in superstitions; he dove deep several times, but was pushed back up every time. When he came up, he told me he thought he saw something." Ning Jiangsheng watched everyone's reactions one by one.

Jin Guangyan, in the driver's seat, glanced over occasionally. Seeing her eating with such gusto, a profound sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. Thus, when the phone rang, he felt no sense of impending crisis as he pressed the hands-free button on the car phone.

Even Molo, Yan Shisan, and Shi Ganzhuang were all looking toward Chen Feng with faces full of concern.

"Still unconvinced, are you? Do you believe I can use the 'Five Thunders Curse' to blast you into a pretzel?" With that, he formed the 'Five Thunders Seal' and pressed it onto the talisman stuck to the braid and fox tail. The braid began to wither, limp and sagging onto the ground.

This was indeed a moment requiring them to truly accomplish such a unique task; the reasons why people do these things are directions that truly require careful contemplation.

Chen Feng did not know what the two were discussing, but it was not hard to see that Wang Xin, that crafty merchant, had reaped a considerable harvest.

The two were clearly somewhat surprised, but they did not say much. After exchanging glances, they headed directly toward the direction of the Cathedral.

She knew there was no escaping this time. Perhaps she would die; she felt a deep sense of unwillingness, yet lacked the power to prevent it from happening.

"Fourth Aunt, someone is here to post your bail. You can go now." Everyone at the police station knew that A-Liang wanted to catch the gangster A-Hui, but this old woman insisted on taking the blame for him, which was why she had been locked up. Everyone was afraid the old woman might suddenly pass away, so no one dared to speak a harsh word to her.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a jolt of terror, as if a bad omen had appeared. Secretly alarmed, he muttered to himself, "This is certainly no good sign. I fear my whereabouts have long been discovered by the other side, and they are just waiting for me to walk right into their trap." The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and his fear grew. He immediately stopped in his tracks, already feeling a sense of regret.

Immediately after, the hospital room door was pushed open. I squinted my eyes open just a sliver, struggling to identify the visitor. As the door swung wide, beams of light from the corridor outside shone in. It was through this light that I realized the person walking in was Zhang Yefeng.

"Jun Ao, next... please, tell me it won't be that thing again?" Zi Bingxin shuddered at the mere thought of the worms.

At this moment, he suddenly realized he was powerless to argue; it seemed the entire rhythm was being controlled by Xu Que. No matter what he said, it was useless.

At this time, the spatial bracelet in her hand was emitting a searing heat, and it had even detached from her sea of consciousness, hovering suspended right before her eyes.

"A Sword Spirit? My god, is this actually a fully formed Sword Spirit?" The many guards were all startled, staring at the Sword Spirit in disbelief.

Zhang Ran took the cigar and, acting with tacit understanding, pried it open. Sure enough, there was a trick hidden among the tobacco leaves. A small slip of paper appeared from within the cigar. After taking it out, Zhang Ran looked at the content with a smile: Three days from now, 10:00 PM, fifty kilometers south of Beylaibon in the jungle.

"There, there, don't pay him any mind!" Jing Yan coaxed. Seeing the ancestor opposite them suddenly turn grave, his heartbeat skipped a beat, and with a deep, somber look in his eyes, he pulled her closer.

"Sigh~" Zhao Xueru sighed. It seemed that entrusting one's fate to others was unreliable; one's own destiny should be held in one's own hands.

In recent days, rumors about Di Luo had been rampant. Naturally, he, Crow, knew a thing or two about them, but he scoffed at the reports.

"The movie you and Shanjie filmed together was released today. Didn't you go see it?" Di Luo asked with some surprise. Hearing Chen Haonan say he had forgotten, he was left momentarily speechless.

For example, Zhou Changzhong, the head of the Yilong County Magistrate's office, along with local gentry such as Deng Wenxing, led the people of Yilong in a long-term defense when the city was besieged and supplies were cut off, rendering a great service in preserving the county.

With great power comes great responsibility; commensurate with immense power is a burden as heavy as a mountain.

Lin Yuming was certainly not worried about his subordinates being poached. Regardless, there were not many manufacturers that could offer better compensation than Huading. The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Shangguan Jiafang said that as long as she had time, she would certainly sit down with Lin Yuming.
