Volume One, Chapter 36: The Villagers Demand to Break the Contract

Moreover, in the later stages of sword cultivation, few people bother with conventional techniques, as they continuously delve deeper into the essence of sword intent, striving to transform their state into the Dao as early as possible.

Strangely, the tall man inspected the door carefully for quite a while and even gave it a hard shove, yet it remained completely immovable.

Lin Ran sat on the sofa, rubbing her forehead, feeling utterly speechless. Why did she lie to me?

The noisy environment from a few breaths ago suddenly fell silent. Almost everyone had found what they were supposed to be doing. The fierce one-on-one battle between Situ Sheng and Wu Siyou, and on the other side, Hua Jieyu’s overwhelming display, could hardly be described as merely intense.

The Academy’s Heavenly Ladder offered generous rewards this time, attracting many powerful spiritual cultivators from Galeao Academy, including many reclusive experts who had emerged in full force.

In any case, the transaction was entered into voluntarily by this fellow, which didn’t have much to do with Lin Ran. Although it was highly likely that things would not end so easily, Lin Ran adopted a brave stance; regardless of what might happen in the future, it was best to resolve the matter at hand first.

‘Whoosh!’ A blue beam of light shot in from outside the window, landing with pinpoint accuracy in Mo Li’s palm.

The villagers of Lousang Village were simple, kind, warm, and upright; they were nothing like the so-called intellectuals who were full of hidden malice.

In such a perilous environment, once a dangerous situation arose, it would basically be like pouring oil on a fire. Thinking of this, Lin Ran could not help but feel a chill in his heart.

From the White Emperor’s mouth, the Queen Mother of the West was dismissively referred to as a "wench," which hardly befitted the White Emperor’s status. Yet, any discerning person could see that the matter at hand was a desperate, unseemly move made by the Queen Mother of the West.

Ever since the government increased investment in infrastructure to stimulate domestic demand the year before last, real estate prices had been climbing steadily. The area near the provincial university had both mountains and water, and according to current land values, the proceeds from selling the land would be enough to build an entirely new campus. However, the selection of the remote Yu’ao Town for the branch campus had come as a great surprise to the locals.

He looked up. Perhaps because he was staring directly into the intense light, a surging heat descended from his eyes to his chest. When this heat reached its peak, his eyes turned crimson, and a violent energy in his chest, pressed to the extreme, erupted, transforming into a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

Ming Ji’s angry shout was swallowed by the void fissure in an instant, leaving no trace within the grotto-heaven.

Wang Xuan looked at the excited Xu Li and smiled modestly: "Look at what you’re saying; that is all in the past. Now, I am just a mother, and the past is like passing clouds—just a memory." After saying this, Wang Xuan wrapped the scarf back around her face.

The next day, after Shen Yanbo’s car slowly drove out of the villa for work, Bai Chi changed her clothes and came downstairs.

Wu Kai nodded and then instructed: "Good! Remember to notify me of any new developments." With that, he turned and walked alone out of the defense hall. Standing at the exit, Wu Kai gazed at the pitch-black sky above, feeling heavy-hearted as he rode his electric scooter toward home.

I do not know what sustained the pride of the Son of the Wind, but even now, that face remained full of confidence.

To be honest, the scene before them, which could undoubtedly be called a massacre, had already shattered the hearts and courage of Liu Qi and Xu Fei. In extreme fear, knowing they could not escape death, they could only beg loudly for mercy, hoping to save their lives.

He pushed halfway, and the door opened from the inside. Weiwei looked even fatter, terrifyingly so. However, when she saw Guto, her expression was as if she had seen a ghost.

"Helping us?" Meng Changming and Ma Jiangping were stunned, and then Ma Jiangping pouted: "You really are a great help; I thank you very much..." Her words were filled with resentment.

"You want to wash my Blood Flame Palace in blood? Heh... what a joke!" The Fifth Elder looked at the corpses on the ground with a pained expression, unable to hide his heartache.

Moreover, if Meier’s identity were truly so special, the National Martial Arts Special Action Group could not have remained unresponsive. After all, with such a major event, Li Zhiguo would not let it happen within the borders of China; otherwise, wouldn’t their Special Action Group be nothing more than a decoration?

The reward for the champion, the Red Star Grass, was already in her pocket. She had come to the Four Kingdoms Competition specifically for it. Now that it was hers, she didn’t quite know how to react, but the experience of this competition had been nothing short of spectacular.

With her hands in her pockets, she smiled at Jiang Wanqing: "The sea is not like the land; the wind here at night is very chilly. Since you are new here and not used to this environment, it would be strange if you didn’t catch a cold after being exposed to the cold wind."

Qin Xiucai was an elder; there was no reason for him to come out to greet them, especially not "outside the city." This was a grand gesture of protocol. Both Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun sensed something was wrong and hurriedly stepped forward.

Hearing the words that followed Zhu Ri’s name, Yu Weiyan felt a churn in her stomach and almost vomited again.

Meanwhile, after Baili Wuchen put on a grand show to take Yu Weiyan away, he used instant teleportation to reach what Yu Weiyan called the prisoner transport wagon.

Wuji watched all this triumphantly, reached out to pick up a wine glass, and walked toward the direction of Sifeng Beiling.

However, it must be said that both Sphinx and Baros were surprisingly knowledgeable, and each time, they answered each other's questions.

There was no help for it. Ye Chen couldn't just leave her lying on the sofa, so he eventually had to carry her to the bed and, while he was at it, unfastened her clothes.

However, people watching your livestream is a sign of respect, and Gu Yangyang was also grateful. Occasionally, when the mood struck, she would team up with the fans watching the stream to play together.

It was not because the carving was poor; on the contrary, this piece was carved vividly, as if it were a living creature.
