Chapter 29

What I did not expect, however, was that her mouth was clamped so tightly shut that the water I tried to give her simply spilled out before it could even enter.

Who is bold enough to break into the Green Gang? With over a hundred guards posted at any given time, how could anyone infiltrate so easily?

"What are you panicking about!?" Demon King Hunqiu frowned, his face full of displeasure. "With Demon King Jieyou and me holding down Earth Fiend City, what could possibly go wrong?"

The two thought it over, and eventually, President Wang came up with a plan: insert the video and audio into the presentation slides she was scheduled to show. That way, Deputy Manager Ma would never be able to figure out who blew the whistle.

Portal formations flared into life deep within the mountain range. Black pillars of light pierced the sky, and from them, a dense swarm of figures surged forward amidst a chilling, thunderous cry.

A cultivation level of the third-tier Immortal King is considered quite high in the outside world, but here in the Forbidden City, it is nothing special.

Even though the Grand Overseer wore the air of a man who had seen it all, he was still left stunned, his shock no less profound than that of Chen Dugu and the others.

In truth, the martial stars of the early Tang Dynasty were so dazzling that even setting aside military gods like Li Jing and Li Ji, even fierce warriors like Cheng Yaojin and Qin Shubao shone through the ages. By comparison, Li Junxian had few notable achievements and was truly unremarkable among the warriors of his time.

"Chu Yan greets the three seniors." Upon meeting the three gatekeepers, Chu Yan was quite polite, lacking the hostility one might have expected.

Whenever food was mentioned, he could instantly name a restaurant, and the mere mention of such a place would make him incredibly excited.

Finally, the battle drew to a close. After the last contestant from the opposing camp was eliminated, all the contestants from Xie Limin’s camp began to cheer.

The audience at the venue craned their necks in anticipation, expecting Team D to make a substitution. When the same fair-skinned youth with the baby face appeared instead, they could not help but feel disappointed.

Little did the smug Zhao Jiang know, however, that his opponent was thinking the same thing—only with a far greater and wilder ambition. While Zhao Jiang wanted to capture Du Jia alive, Du Jia’s goal was not just him and his troops, but the occupation of the entire Ping’an City.

After the meeting in the main hall, Wang Zheng kept Hu Yueqin, Ling Ge, several elders, and the instructor behind. As veterans of the academy, he gave them instructions, particularly emphasizing the need to treat Beiyun well. In Wang Zheng’s view, although Beiyun was not skilled in combat, his value to the academy would be immense.

"How is this possible? Even a Foundation Establishment initiate shouldn't be able to hold out against me for this long. How did you do it?" The elder surnamed Xie said with a grave expression after knocking Lin Yuyan back.

As for the others' opinions on the matter, they had previously assumed Monte only stayed because Eva and Lawrence were present, but now, upon reflection, it did seem a bit suspicious. After Tong Le’s detailed explanation, they all branded Monte a manipulative snake.

Thus, the moment he stepped into the Black Underworld Mountain, those Immortal King and Evil King powerhouses were already moving in the shadows.

Yun Fu’s immortal energy was incredibly fierce. Feng Yue’s cultivation was only at the purple True Immortal stage and had not yet ascended to the High Immortal stage; taking this blow head-on, she immediately vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to even crawl.

"It’s not just us two who say so; there are plenty of people in this world who feel the same," Long Zuhai said, rising to serve rice from the stove.

Thinking back to middle school, I was always at the top of the class, and our home was filled with certificates of merit. That was back before Grandfather came to live with us.

As Sakura-ichi’s comment flashed through her mind, Coach Ryuzaki’s mouth twitched. Inui had secretly told her about it, but... it really did sound quite feminine.

Because of the Lunar New Year, there were many friends and relatives to host and many banquets to attend, so we had to prepare extra cured meat as a main dish.

Li Erhu said, "Great! My techniques are a bit of a hodgepodge, so please don't laugh," and with that, he threw a punch.

Except for Gou Hanshi, the other two were quite exhausted. Tang Sanshisi, in particular, abandoned his usual chattering nature, went straight to his room, collapsed onto his bed, and covered his head to sleep.

Although in the past wars between gods and demons, the gods had defeated the demon race countless times and banished them to the narrow, cramped abyss.

Seeing the massive wave crashing toward him, Zhang Liang, perhaps having integrated a portion of the *Zhu Xian* memories, did not panic in the slightest. With his left hand forming a seal and his right hand gently tapping his storage bag, a pale ink-colored flying sword whistled out, slicing through the air and cleaving the incoming wave in two.

Tang Long squatted down to examine the bathroom and discovered an electrical wire near the tub, one end of which had fallen into the water. Tang Long tested it with a pair of pliers and found that the bathroom was leaking electricity. Could the victim have been electrocuted? Tang Long began to entertain the thought.

That exquisite face and cold temperament were so captivating that students who had just entered the school gate could not help but stop and watch in curiosity.

This was a lesson she had learned in her previous life: in times of crisis, how to minimize the damage to the greatest extent possible.

Lin Anwan curled her lips into a beautiful arc and pressed the remote, causing the glass pane that blocked them to rise.

Mother Wang was now ashen-faced, kneeling on the floor, not daring to meet Feng Qiwen’s eyes.

To put it plainly, he was only jealous of the dog because of Wei Ranbei; he felt that the dog was, in essence, Wei Ranbei himself.

"It's all the same. A dignified peak-level expert, bullying two ordinary people in broad daylight. Brother Jianzhao, Brother Ziqing, let my two Dan Sect brothers go up and cripple them." Dan Qing’s old face turned embarrassed, and he glared fiercely at his junior brother before cupping his hands and speaking to the youth with the long sword and Taiyi Ziqing.

Seeing that Feng Qiwen’s eyes were full of worry, Xing Shen could not help but feel anxious, subconsciously reaching out to pat her hand.

He returned to his dilapidated courtyard; the vegetables he used to grow were gone, and trash was scattered everywhere.

He stared quietly at a spot on the carpet, seemingly dazed, yet his eyes remained cold and sharp.

On the other side, Xing Wanfang and Xing Wanyun, having suffered indignities at the Listening Waves Pavilion, returned home to cry and complain to their respective concubine mothers.

Just over a month ago, even when the epidemic was raging throughout the capital, Cui Sheng had been as diligent as ever in visiting the Township Lady’s residence. For the sake of the household's safety, he had brought several large carts of medicinal herbs for fumigation and personally urged the steward to smoke every corner of the house.

Without this weapon, the next time the Charm Eagle appeared, they would have nothing to defend themselves with. The Green Snake Clan would return to their previous state of having no counterattack, and the clan would lose many more of its people.

Chen Zigou wanted to join in the babbling, but he had absolutely no information on Ma Huayun in his mind, so he had to let it go.
