Volume 1, Chapter 24: Xiao Ye Gives Chase!

"More than just seen, we've practically said everything there is to say," Murong Shijing remarked with disdain.

This was how the Skin-Grass and the Dimensional Vine cooperated. The Dimensional Vine utilized its spatial talent to transmit the Skin-Grass's attacks to any location, while Yang Chi only needed to hide in one spot and quietly thrust the Skin-Grass out from the North Domain.

"You've become quite the smooth talker," Donghuang Baizhi added. Although her husband had changed, he had become even more perfect; the cold, icy Ye Hua was not the version she desired.

At this moment, not only Ao Wushuang, but even Chu Chen and Xie Linglong were left without a single piece of intact clothing, all of them looking ragged and tattered.

A few years ago, Xiong Leshan and Guo Hongxiang had signed a gentleman's agreement: in the office equipment sector, he would only produce low-to-mid-range products, while the Hongxiang Group would handle high-end goods.

At this time, a long wooden board was placed between the gate and the execution ground, suspended over molten lava. One couldn't help but fear that if the board broke and someone fell in, they would likely vanish into ash instantly.

"I'm just repeating what I heard from others; I don't know if it's true. But looking at the state of our Xiao Estate today, I suspect it is true," Feng Yu speculated.

When going to pay the bill, he found the prices even higher than at a grand hotel. Hu Youmin said nothing, paid the bill, and returned to his inn.

In other words, once the Chant Secret Realm was destroyed, it would mean that the cage imprisoning it had been shattered, and in that sense, it would be 'free.'

It was the same scene and the same words, but Zejin was now the normal Zejin.

Lin Yu knew clearly that with his current strength, the chances of succeeding in one go were slim, but if he were at the Foundation Establishment stage, the probability would be much higher.

However, seeing the results achieved by the chess pieces he had created, and operating under the dual influence of the command tower and the intelligence triggering mode, he quickly projected the most likely conjectures in his mind.

Finding a spot under the shade of a tree, Bai Yi released her black threads and projected her mental energy, strictly monitoring the surroundings. Her pores opened wide as she quietly absorbed the crystal core and the virus elements rich in the air.

"Did you see anyone come out from inside?" Xing Lie slowly lowered his gun and returned it to its holster.

Su Yi quietly watched as everyone continued to bid, over and over, until the price of the Earth Demon Crystal reached ten thousand essence stones, at which point many chose to give up.

"Master, what about you!" Hou Zhenshan swung his twin hammers, constantly battering the dense crowd of cultivators around him.

After another discussion ended, Yu Lang walked outside the ancient castle. He leaned over a carved railing, looking ahead and lost in thought, when suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

By now, their clash had become a back-and-forth exchange, growing increasingly perilous.

The image in the crystal ball shifted with his thoughts, reflecting an octagonal hall. The black hall was lined with hollow metal pillars, and the center was decorated with spider patterns, along with a throne—or at least something that looked like one.

Ning Tianlin could hardly believe his eyes, for the object held by the bat before him was over three meters long and more than a foot wide, entirely white, with numerous protrusions along its body.

The shattered-egg Japanese sergeant was not afraid of her gun; he laughed, his lecherous and wretched expression making Liu Yan feel nauseated, which only fueled her urge to blow his head off with a single shot.

Meanwhile, the thundercloud floating in the sky acted as if it had eaten something it shouldn't have and was having a stomachache, becoming frantic and staining many of the surrounding white clouds pitch black.

Why was this Qian Zhougang so formidable? Previously, he had blamed his subordinates for being useless and unable to defeat him.

"To find you, I used my connections to notify every soldier in the country to help search for you. It's been over two months, and you've been completely silent. Do you know how anxious I've been?"

"Girl?!" Gong Ming's voice grew louder, and his grip on her shoulders tightened.

Upon arriving in the Far North, Ye Yu had naturally converted his life essence into the Golden Origin bloodline. He needed this public-facing power to control the Golden Ancient Clan, and even a Great Emperor would not be able to detect anything unusual about him.

"Just going to help," Tezuka lowered his eyelids, his gaze falling on the paper in Ying Yi's hand. The score flashed in his mind, and his thin, cold lips curled into a faint, imperceptible arc.

Nearby, Yagami Yumiko crouched, her lips curling into a shallow, water-clear smile that never changed. She glanced at Ying Yi, who had even stopped breathing, and a flicker of admiration crossed her dark green eyes. But it was only for a moment before her gaze returned to the boys.

Before they had even reached the Embroidered Uniform Guard office, Chen Zhongyi's ears twitched. He clearly heard desperate roars, as if someone were shouting 'one, two, three, four' in unison.

Xu Xian's face turned as dark as charcoal. Since Wei Qingfeng had repeated what Bai Suzhen said, it meant she had known he would come and knew who had given him the black eye.

Without needing to activate the formation, Chen Tuan Old Ancestor gave a single thought, and the White Tiger manifestation, which had been killing ferociously in the west, swooped down instantly. Before the Drought Demon could even resist, it pinned her firmly to the ground with a tiger pounce.

Steward Xia sent Xiao Jing back to the newspaper office. Seeing his respectful demeanor, an uninformed bystander might have assumed Xiao Jing was the young master of his household.

Selua waved his hand with a smile, and Ah Ye suddenly felt a force lifting him to straighten his back, while Selua's comfort put his mind at ease.

At the same time, they were filled with infinite admiration, praise, and fear toward Yi Daoren, who was leading them on a tour of the branch research institute... What kind of mind and what kind of ability could build a city of technology and research that surpassed the accumulation of several national machines?
