Chapter 54

Shortly after, Chu Tianze saw an old man exuding an aura of death emerge from behind the gloomy bushes.

"I heard Tangtang say that this mission is ranked near the back, so it shouldn't be too difficult, right?" I asked.

Frowning slightly, he watched as the man in gray killed three people and then strode swiftly toward the depths of the plaza. He locked the door and gestured for everyone to gather in the living room.

Upon returning to the dormitory, I found my belongings already packed. Thinking of this, I picked up the phone and called Liu Xi, learning that she was still packing her things.

"Are you talking about my deal with the Ghost Lord?" Ah Chou flapped his wings awkwardly, struggling for a long time without managing to lift himself off the ground by even a fraction of an inch.

Chu Feng possessed Tier 1 strength; although incapable of attacking, he instantly sensed that the dozen or so figures closing in around them were all peak Tier 3 masters.

Only then did I understand. With the Abe family's immense influence, had they known that Abe Seiko was at the airport trying to leave the country, they would likely have sent the police to arrest her directly.

It was a long time before Zhang Haotian finally understood that because saints of the primary and secondary laws mastered laws that were too singular, unless they could cultivate that single law to an extremely profound realm, they would find it nearly impossible to touch higher realms of cultivation in this lifetime.

Because of this, he felt somewhat helpless. Without relying on the two individuals before him, he could never accomplish this task; yet if he depended on them excessively, the outcome would inevitably be greatly compromised, and the bandit strongholds and pirate dens on Taihu Lake would continue to run rampant along this canal.

The Queen of Clams possessed thousands of spells, but her strongest was the Water Control Formula. This was a defensive spell within her arsenal, known as the Great Water Net.

As soon as the words "Soul Jade" were uttered, a sharp intake of breath echoed throughout the stone workshop.

Moving just a few steps to cleanly step outside the attack range of the trio, he gripped the twin fantasy swords resting in their scabbard. A horizontal swipe of the scabbard unleashed a fierce gale, sending branches and rubble from the ground scattering over the three opponents.

"Complete the training and organization of the First Division of the New Shandong Army, and secure control over the situation in Shandong," Zaitun instructed.

"We're quite familiar, considering we've known each other for over a decade." Reckoning from the afterlife, the Afterlife War Front had existed for more than ten years, though counting just this world, a decade or so was about right.

"The arsenal will be secretly established under Chen Ning's charge, located in the Myriad Mountains. Technical personnel should be drawn from other arsenals, and security must be strictly maintained. As for the Yanbian Iron and Steel Plant, the Changjiang Iron and Steel Plant, and the Laiwu Iron and Steel Plant, I think they should be entrusted to the Wang Zeming recommended by Chen Ning," Zaifeng replied.

"In ancient times, publicly disrupting public order like this was punishable by flogging, wasn't it?" Huang Li looked at Wang Xuanlong with disdain, her words filled with resentment toward him.

Shi Yi spent the entire night sleepless, gazing at the fragments scattered all over the courtyard and the spilled alcohol flowing like a river. She truly was a jinx—a jinx abandoned even by her own parents.

"Hey, Colonel Yu, your new boyfriend?" Seeing Yu Ruotong approach, Valentine asked with a half-mocking tone.

At that moment, he saw the corners of his mouth curve upward into an eerie, inexplicable arc, a sight that shocked even himself.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was startled, including Gu Shensuan. On the day Gu Zhantian went into seclusion and designated him as Gu Feng's confidant, wasn't that so-called confidant none other than himself?

Doing business is like this; you cannot simply lower the price the moment a customer finds it expensive. Besides, twenty-two yuan was the price Yiyang himself quoted, so it must have been the ideal price in his mind, and he wouldn't operate at a loss.

Without greeting Qin Ran, and seemingly remembering something, he walked with heavy strides toward Han Yazhou's direction.

Lord Longshu smiled and said, "Your Highness need not worry, dealing with the Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief will be easy. According to reports received yesterday, Qi has been defeated by Zhao, and the Prime Minister of Qi, Zhu Fu, was even killed by Zhao's Prime Minister, Le Yi. From this, Qi's defeat is already apparent."

With a forced smile on his face and apologies on his lips, he endured. Some people simply swallowed their pride and let things go, while others, though unhappy, found that Lin Feifan's strikes were overwhelmingly heavy. Sensing that those individuals might not be someone to trifle with, they let the matter drop.

Cai Zhewei and his companion chatted with the two fair maidens from time to time, exchanging pleasantries, so the atmosphere never grew dull.

As for Zhao Cheng, the State Commandant, he was an immensely important figure in the heart of King He of Zhao—perhaps even the only person who could step forward to help him.

The long train began to move, yet there was no sign of Tang Feng anywhere. Despair—aside from despair, there was nothing else. Just as she turned to leave in resignation, she suddenly spotted a face, both familiar and unfamiliar, smiling at her from the train window.

The door opened, and three figures walked in—precisely the three major supervisors of the Jiangnan Base City's Limitless Dojo, led by Zhuge Tao and his companions.

"Of course you couldn't see me. You can only hear me when I choose to speak to you, because I exist in the rift between the mortal realm and the mystic realm!" said the dark figure.

Zhao Qingqing had used her name for twenty years; she never expected that suddenly changing it back would feel so unnatural. It was precisely because of this sudden discomfort that she had gone to the bar to drink, and then... perhaps this was simply fate.

After spending three days completing the handover, she officially abandoned her "grand enterprise"—which was simply her personal guard, or colloquially, her fan club.

"Jiaojiao!" Jing晏 had not anticipated such a sudden twist. He clearly hadn't seen Ning Jue touch that bead, so how had she fallen victim to its attack?
