Chapter 218: A Seismic Shift in the Kwantung Army High Command

July 26, 2032, America.

Silver Fox Zhou Yongsu sent a telegram to Red Phoenix Chen Jiehua, reporting on the "Bonus Army" incident recently unfolding at the United States Capitol.

Nearly twenty thousand World War I veterans, struggling to survive under the weight of the Great Depression, had gathered outside the U.S. Capitol to petition for the early payment of the service bonuses promised to them by the government.

Old Zhou’s implication was that with so many destitute veterans, whether through incitement or manipulation...

Lu Xia’s appearance within the seal indicated that the collapse of the Nine Heavens Seal was imminent; there was no longer any point in restraining these god-level powerhouses. Regardless of how these beings might react, if Lu Xia could not be returned to reality, the collapse of the Nine Heavens Seal would be irreversible.

"Are you all so certain that you can defeat me?" Lin Yi smiled faintly, his eyes still fixed intently on the crystal resting on the coffee table.

"Greetings, Grandmaster." Juju bowed nervously before Emperor Huiyuan, catching only a fleeting glimpse of a white figure standing before the hall.

"Juju, pack your things. It is time we returned to the Hall of Penalties." The voice of Chi Zhong from outside the door was gentle and serene.

The vast majority of the Jin army's chariots could not avoid colliding with their own comrades even if they tried; many drivers simply shut their eyes, ignoring the road and letting their chariots charge wherever fate took them.

In the other world, he had possessed no memory of the present; all his recollections and his life had started anew. But here, in his original world, Wang Le could remember the events of both worlds.

Gong Gong allowed the guards to shackle him with the Immortal-Binding Rope without resistance, following behind Juju as they walked toward the exit of the celestial prison.

Juju’s mind wandered as she waited for the ferocious wolves to pounce, yet a long time passed, and although she was surrounded by the pack, not a single beast dared to take a step closer.

Luo Shi'an gave a mocking smile and said, "They will certainly have that Liu Ling turn herself in and take all the blame upon herself. Their goal is to get Wu Qiuya out. Hmph, they don't even stop to consider: is this capital city really a place where the Wu family can hide the sky with one hand?"

Relying on this gift of heaven and earth—a breakthrough in cultivation within the Spirit Realm—he seized the momentum to advance his Dark Rule to the seventh heaven level.

The Hall of Veneration was not far from the registration office, and after walking for a few minutes, they arrived before a massive semi-circular building. When they entered, the place was already teeming with people. It was indeed worthy of being the premier academy; a rough estimate suggested there were at least ten thousand students.

This was their primary battlefield, and apart from that so-called sense of attachment, they were inferior to the gods of this world in every other respect. Thus, they dispatched only a dozen or so to deal with the Half-Step Hunyuan brought by the Immortal God, while the rest swarmed forward to besiege the Immortal God himself.

"Don't waste your breath. My relationship with him is not as deep as you imagine. You must realize that I abandoned both mother and child for over twenty years. In all those twenty years, I never once laid eyes on Wu Xi."

"You know exactly what I mean." Shu Yumo did not even spare him a glance, walking over to her seat and sitting down.

"I must taste it first!" Li Zicheng ladled a spoonful of beef soup and brought it to his lips, pretending to savor the flavor.

According to the guidance of the Earth team, the overnight campsite had been specifically chosen in a hollow surrounded by mountains on three sides; how could there be wind?

"Damn it, they haven't even brought it out yet, how do you know it's something good? Who knows if they're just making a scene?" the person who had spoken earlier complained, preparing to leave.

Life became nothing but hard work, breakthroughs, and more breakthroughs. To be honest, Shu Yumo quite enjoyed this simple existence.

"Nonsense." Li Hong turned around, slowly sank into the main seat, and said indifferently.

Like robots, the five-legged beasts required the black spheres within their bodies to constantly transmit communication signals and receive various commands to function normally.
