Volume One, Chapter 54: The Turmoil of Dismissal

“Friend, what you just said… could it be that Jing Tianqing is still alive?” Ai Jiangliu asked uncertainly.
Yan Fei glanced around and noticed that most of the swords thrust into the sandy ground were not yet fully forged, many still blade blanks or dull, unused swords. Even so, the densely packed swords radiated a powerful sword aura and killing intent.
He felt deeply unsettled—if even the old man could not go further in, he certainly could not force his way now. It would be best to wait for another opportunity to explore. With that thought, Chen Hao stepped out of the Wuyi mountain cave and headed toward the back of the mountain.
With the commander's harsh words ringing in their ears, the soldiers knew they had to give it their all. A crowd of daredevils, bare-chested and wielding broad sabers, charged forward with wild shouts, only to be swiftly knocked down in droves by Zhang Zizhong and his men.
“Do I have the right to refuse? No matter what I say, you won’t let us go easily, will you?” I trudged toward the interior of the warship, my face twisted in misery.
The Xiangxi Industrial Company was responsible for all industrial projects in the Xiangxi region. The Jingzhou cement factory and the upcoming steel and textile mills were listed in its projects. Unlike the bank, the company was fully owned.
“Kira…” The perceptive Mili seemed to have noticed something. She was about to call out to him, but I stopped her with a hand on her shoulder.
Everyone was puzzled by Hwarang’s words. Why would Cuiyun’s absence at home be giving them an opportunity?
Yet, no matter how hard I racked my brains, I could not fathom who could be so kind as to secretly guide us forward.
Though she already knew the outcome, Xu Wudie still clung to a sliver of hope that it might be false.
Before taking a taxi earlier, I had already tossed my jacket aside, now wearing only a thin shirt. I glanced at Qiu Ying beside me and, gritting my teeth, rolled up my sleeve.
Things went exactly as Fang Lei had expected. At the southern edge of the mountains, he did indeed find a small town.
Breakfast was the same as usual, but Liu Fugui ate with particular relish. He had come to terms with the fact that he would always be the old couple’s son, even now with three children of his own at his side.
Any random prince from Goguryeo would know Gongsun Kang would never ally with Jiangdong. Could it be that my brother, Zhou Yu, and Zhang Zhao can’t see this?

Zhao Gou impatiently cut him off. “Enough, just do as you’re told. I’m not saying I’m leaving the royal city—just moving onto the boat as a precaution.” Yang Yizhong quickly assented.
Mi Gui swung his great axe and, with just two blows, smashed open the main house’s window. At the same time, another person broke open a window in the other house. Torches were lit and hurled inside, followed by arrows shot into the houses.
Andora wanted to win the role through her own strength, rightfully and without reproach, and to participate in the film’s shooting.
However, at the moment, Xu Shian’s teacher had no time to care whether he was winning or losing.
It was a jade pendant, exquisitely carved, the stone itself of rare and exceptional quality.
The green mist lingered for three days and nights, and when it finally dissipated, a thick layer of green scum coated the trees’ bark.
Chen Feng was puzzled; how could Ah Zhu call these three idiots when the matter was nearly foolproof?
Feiyi swayed his serpentine body and, looking quite formidable, lunged at Old Xiao. His sharp fangs bared as he emitted a thunderous, booming hiss.
At the very least, it would take two to three hundred years, and that only for a truly gifted beast.
But upon closer observation, it was clear they neither needed oxygen nor water, seemingly surviving by gnawing on energy stones and the like.
Yun Zhanyang’s words were resolute, but inside, he sighed repeatedly. He truly did not want to become mortal enemies with the Baiyu family—but there was no choice; the Meteorite Drill Chain had to be reclaimed.
Standing on the teleportation formation, Chen Feng felt a surge of excitement. From this moment, his fate would once again be unknown.
Just as Yan San’s fury burned, the single eye of the evil corpse also brimmed with killing intent. His withered cheeks twitched violently.
Countless wafting veils of mist spread in all directions, instantly penetrating deep into people’s hearts.

Everyone was stunned. The magnificent scrolls unfolded before their eyes, leaving countless onlookers in awe. Those who loved traditional painting were especially dumbstruck, profoundly shaken to their core—they never imagined anyone could reach such heights.
After news of the foot bath basin spread, many flocked to buy it—perhaps even more so than for the physiotherapy device. After all, digestive issues are a major concern in modern society.
Nature is undoubtedly great. But nature is also fragile—or rather, tolerant. Humanity’s hands and feet constantly trespass upon nature’s domain, yet as long as it is within limits, nature offers not the slightest response.
“Not worried about escaping onto the vast open sea?” Ye Zi savored this embrace, an unprecedented pleasure.
Faced with this situation, Zhang Niu had no solution. Even after planning for a large gathering, it still seemed insufficient.
A violent explosion sent those nearby flying; ordinary people at the center were instantly killed, while only a few strong soldiers and those farther away survived.
This remark drew laughter from the nearby rangers and guards, but Lord Chang’an glared at them, and they quickly fell silent.
With Hongjun’s permission, Zhunti and Amitabha returned to Mount Ling, gathered their things, and prepared to descend to the mortal world. Passing by Mingxin’s courtyard, Zhunti paused and walked toward the sage’s residence.
As Tenglong pondered, two massive fire wolves charged at him once more. As before, Tenglong crouched low, and as the fire wolves closed in, only inches away, he prepared to dodge just as before.
Now, Linley possessed the coordinates for entering the World Tree’s forbidden domain, and he could actively open passages to subspaces formed by the laws of destruction, creation, order, and others.
Lin Weixin’s expression was heavy; two first-grade Darkgold Power Bears would not be easy to handle.
But this presented another problem: there were far too many stones to carry. He could only cut them on the spot to select the treasures within.
