Volume 1, Chapter 55: Jiang Duoduo Must Not Be Taken Back!

An intangible wave of vital energy surged outward. Zhang Fan only felt a thunderous roar in his mind, as if some invisible barrier had been shattered by an unseen force, causing his body to tremble slightly.

Su Yun averted her gaze, refusing to look at this awkward First Elder, lest she could not help talking back to him again.

Dispersing his cultivation was his only option. Besides, after the battle at the Soul-Breaking Platform, the spiritual energy within his body had been severely depleted. If he could not heal his old injuries in the short term, dispersing his cultivation to restart it was merely a matter of time.

"Your great-grandfather, that old ghost Qiao, was jealous of us and actually wanted to seize the position of the Sect Master of the Tomb Masters from our family's hands. Leaving aside why our family should agree to his demand, let alone anything else, regardless of who was in our position, this would be an immense humiliation! Thus, the two sides got into a quarrel."

General Fan and General Lei Zhong exchanged glances, panic involuntarily creeping into their hearts. If a country like this was not set straight, it would truly perish.

For some reason, although Xing Shaozun's words were nothing extraordinary, as Ning Long listened, her nose began to sting slightly, thinking of everything he had endured in the past, yet to this day, he still managed to maintain his pursuit of and belief in justice.

Seeing Liu Ce dismount, Ji Shangxie intended to get down as well, but Liu Ce immediately reached out a long arm and pulled her down from the horse. Without letting go, he scooped Ji Shangxie straight into his arms and walked inside.

Zhang Fan smiled faintly, his gaze shifting around. The security was quite thorough, but why did he sense the aura of a martial artist? Instantly, his spiritual perception spread out.

Dizzily, she had fallen asleep amidst the pain, having lain prone for so long. She had only just begun to feel a little better, but now, as she grew excited and waved her arms, she instantly aggravated the injuries on her buttocks. Consequently, she had barely let out a couple of cries before the pain forced her to flatten back down onto her stomach.

For Ah Shen's future, I could only grit my teeth and let him manipulate me. But what did he take me for? I am, after all, someone who made it from the bottom up and rolled through Wall Street; could I be so easily reduced to his defeated opponent?

"Who are our friends? Who are our enemies?" Dong Zhuo savored this phrase carefully and found that the more he thought about it, the more profound it became.

Their frenzied shopping spree caused a sensation throughout Jidu. Such wealthy tycoons were extremely rare, even in Jidu where the wealthy were as common as clouds. Many people had already begun recruiting partners, preparing to head south to the South China Sea after the start of spring to carve out careers for themselves.

Housekeeper Hua looked at the archaeological materials on the table and knew that Yuan Lan probably wouldn't even get to see Gao Yunxing much these few days.

It is just a pity that the manufacture of mechanical soldiers does not require the consumption of soul crystals, and naturally, mechanical soldiers cannot generate souls.

He still remembered that during the first episode, after Jiang Xun completed her hidden task, the outdoor meal that Jiang Xun and Qin Mufeng enjoyed the next day was extraordinarily lavish.

As for Wang Ge and the others, they paid close attention to the Central Plains. Originally, after conquering Jizhou, top leaders like Wang Ge had intended to attack the Central Plains, but they had not expected last year's drought to ruin their plans. Daqian could only halt its offensive pace, figure out ways to dig irrigation channels, build waterwheels, and construct new water conservancy projects to accumulate grain.

He felt as though this were a trap set for him by Meng Fei; he had fallen into it right from the beginning and had been playing along with their act ever since.

Yet now, this hammer had been effortlessly crushed into fragments by Hela, and Loki had a hunch that she hadn't even used her full strength just now.

The only possibility was that she had been subconsciously controlled by the other party, which was why she had divulged everything without holding anything back.

In any case, his intuition told him that he could not stay long in this place, yet he was reluctant to leave. Dormammu had plunged him into a contradictory state where he simultaneously wanted to advance and retreat.

"It's nothing, just got looked down upon. This time it all depends on our performance," Yan Yun said with a faint smile. But Fatty sensed the anger beneath that trace of smile, nodded at him, and said no more.

Tang Feng, completely unconcerned, blurted out, "Gang Ge, you have way too many typos!" This remark once again threw everyone into laughter.

Gu Shaoshang, standing nearby, watched her performance with an inexplicable expression in his eyes.

Yan Yun walked to the entrance of the underground supermarket and peered into the pitch-black interior, but he saw nothing except the faint outlines of shelves in the distance. Seeing this, Yan Yun prepared to step inside, when suddenly a hand from behind grabbed the corner of his jacket.

Without waiting for a reply from the other end, Tang Feng hung up the phone and then smiled at the person outside, saying, "Big Brother, sorry to trouble you. Are you using the phone? I've just finished. They said they'd be back in a couple of days. Oh~ ! Big Brother, you're even injured? Are you alright?" Tang Feng rambled on as he walked outside.

If only he had gone along. The skill "Insight" seemed literally capable of distinguishing good from evil; applied to himself, it probably would have allowed him to see a bit more of other people's profiles, sparing him from the future annoyance of opening a stranger's profile only to find a string of question marks alongside their main occupation.

He reversed his hands to hook his fingers under the dagger at his waist, lifting it slightly upward to make it easier to draw. He leaned his upper body back and slipped off his top; as he tossed the garment away, the dagger from his waist was wrapped inside the clothes and dropped down, entirely unnoticed by the people above.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, unable to advance or retreat, the severity of the situation had already exceeded Yin Feng's estimations. Yet all of this was simply trouble brought on by gluttony.

Suddenly, everyone felt their bodies grow light as they were swept into an underwater subterranean current. Traveling forward, after just a few breaths, they felt a sudden brightness before them. Bursting out of the water, the members of the Sun clan realized they had arrived inside a deep, secluded cavern.

The pastry boxes sent every week from Hanbi Garden, the occasional uninterrupted caring phone calls, and the nourishing stews and sweet soups sent over from time to time for Jiang Jin all constantly reflected warmth and familial love.

The difference between a fallen one and a professional is that a professional can continue to level up, whereas a fallen one, having betrayed justice, has lost the ability to continue leveling up, though their previously trained levels and attributes are retained.
