Chapter 53: The Beginning of Autumn (1)

"Two ribbonfish won't be enough for your big household."
"It's fine. Worst case, I'll sneakily eat some myself after they all leave for work or school."
"Forget it! With your soft heart, you're all talk, but you'd feel uneasy if even a single one of your children or grandchildren missed out."
"Sigh! That's true, whoever doesn't get to eat some, I worry about them."
"You're such a softie."
"As if you're so macho..."
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Qin Gang...

Hearing Ancestral Dragon's question, Ming He could not help but sigh. Seeing him dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a crown, he had already guessed Ancestral Dragon's intentions, but hearing him say it out loud brought a completely different feeling.

Though the zither music was melodious, the faint murderous intent hidden within it could not escape Li Xuanxin's detection.

Good grief, how on earth did he file that report? No wait, how did he even pull this off, turning the rumor-monger directly into a criminal suspect?

"That being said," Lou Dasheng nodded, saying to the three corporate leaders, "you must have all noticed the shortcomings of the Security Center."
"The problem is that its past clients were all civilian-based, just like I mentioned earlier—office buildings, high-end communities, and the like."

Several thousand people should have gathered here by now, and the number is still growing. It is hard to tell to what extent it will eventually increase.

"In the Primordial World, this poor Daoist was merely a dutiful innate being. Even though I have reversed my life form to become a Chaotic Demon God, I am still nothing more than an ordinary and unpretentious Slaughter Demon God."

Seeing Laozi trembling with rage, Tongtian instantly felt a twinge of regret. Just as Tongtian opened his mouth to say something, a beam of exceptionally brilliant immortal light suddenly burst forth from the meditating Yuanshi. The moment that light emerged, it shot straight into Tongtian's body.

According to Dong Yue's perspective, although this loser had inadvertently helped Liu Xinyi, she assumed that even if Liu Xinyi tracked him down, it would at most be a small cash reward to show gratitude.

Hu Si only felt a buzzing in his ears, as if his brains were about to be smashed out of his skull. He instantly lost consciousness and crashed heavily to the floor, blood seeping from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. It was clear he wouldn't make it.

After about thirty seconds, the power was restored, and the beta symbol gradually faded under the illumination of the lights. The killer had obviously used a special red fluorescent paint to achieve that effect.

By this time, a considerable crowd had already gathered at the body-training grounds, some lifting weights to build strength, others practicing footwork and boxing, shouting and bustling with lively energy.

The old man put away the barrier. Maintaining such a barrier for so long had placed an unbearable strain on his physique, and with Huo Qingfeng supporting him, he slowly stepped out of the ancestral hall.

"Captain Zhu, you're back!" When Zhu Hongyuan returned to the criminal police detachment, Yufei and Tiantian immediately hurried to his side, first to report for duty, and second to receive their assignment.

"No, this was the old patriarch's order." Jin Ren immediately cut Jin Shan off, insisting that Jin Shan become the patriarch.

Without any warning, a familiar figure abruptly appeared in the passageway leading directly to the core area. The voice was slightly hoarse, but brimmed with absolute confidence.

That was an extremely complex ancient gate, secured by nine locks alone, involving tens of thousands of sacred runes, yet Great Sage Long Yun unlocked it in just a few moves.

Once the four Gu energies were formed, they hovered in the air, their auras sweeping outward as they began contending for their respective territories. At present, the strength and aura of the four insects were nearly identical, essentially a match of equal rivals. To determine a victor would take at least two or three days.

Just as Wei Suo had said, there were simply too many people in Starlight City; a few deaths meant nothing, let alone a few street ruffians. Even if their bodies were discovered, the authorities would likely just write it off as a gang turf war, and the death of a few society-harming hooligans was actually a blessing.

The Third Prince's failed treason plot had ultimately dragged him down. Although he had not been involved in the entire affair, his close friendship with the Third Prince alone violated a monarch's greatest taboo.
