Volume 1, Chapter 65: Hands Up

“Breaking the law? Heh heh heh, you better get lost right now. I am the law.”

At that moment, Lu Liting was in a meeting, explaining the agenda, so he didn’t notice the calls coming from his muted phone. When the meeting ended, he saw over a dozen missed calls from Qiao Mimi, each just seconds apart, along with several messages.

“I told you to get lost! And you all—get out of here!” Zhao Bo seemed mad as he punched and kicked at the black-clad men relentlessly.

“An unparalleled super-level talent... I must report this to the sect immediately,” the chief steward exclaimed, suddenly enlightened and excited.

“Yes, Master!” Liu Qiao responded softly, then clasped her hands together. A wave of fierce energy spread swiftly throughout Forbidden Immortal City. After completing the ritual, Liu Qiao wore a confident expression. By nightfall, the results would be known.

Chen Yun felt a sudden surge of power ripple through him and shot forward instantly, launching an attack on the giant eye. Within moments, he had unleashed over ten strikes, all aimed squarely at the enormous orb.

Because of the Thunder Beast’s actions, thunderous roars had echoed intermittently over the past two months. If not for the protective barrier, the entire Demon Beast Forest would have been devastated by the central pond’s power.

Han Qing’s face flushed deeply. His hips lifted off the bathtub floor, body suspended midair, eyes brimming with tears, unconscious moans escaping his lips.

“This land no longer harbors any existence; it now suffices to be called a formidable spirit!” Qin Yu’s gaze swept the surroundings, his voice resonant and boundless.

Yu patted his shoulder gently, slipping free from the iron-like grip, then stepped away from the operating table.

In the team channel, no one was throwing celebrations; in the YY channel, no cheers or songs—only heavy breaths and the sound of microphones being sprayed.

“My heavens!” Murong Zejian suddenly shouted, then slapped himself fiercely.

“Heh heh.” Ye Ning did laugh, but only she knew how bitter that smile truly was.

Stopping them, he said, “You’re doing well, continue.” Then he led Chen Yun into the imperial city.

“I...” Zhu Jiu was at a loss for words. Today, complaining about the court and mocking Xile Letian was truly unspeakable.

The judge was beheaded; the prefect self-submitted a report and closed the office for introspection; the only remaining senior official in Caizhou Prefecture was Huang Tongpan.

At that moment, two forces clashed, locked in a stalemate, neither yielding. The friction and collisions continued until—boom!—a sudden explosion shook the space around Chen Yun, startling the Thunder Beast. As he remained in the enigma, he could not survey it himself and could only watch closely from outside.

The white ape let out a roar, its offense undiminished, even more ferocious now, a mocking smirk on its face as if seeing through everything.

“Brother, it’s best that you’ve come to terms with this. I’m okay,” Ye Ning said, deeply moved by her brother’s words. Emerging from the shadows, it was worth everything.

Huang Fei heard this and was utterly frustrated. What did he mean by ‘trusting you one more time,’ as if he had been deceiving her all along?

Qiu Jinwa refused to respond to that and simply said, “Master said you’ll understand once you go.” Her only job was to coax him to go.

Han Wei was not foolish. If the treaty on the scroll was truly followed, it would mean handing over all of Dajin’s commercial routes.

Just as Qinglong informed Dapeng to continue searching for the second demon star overlord, Ziyun called him back.
