089, Under Intense Scrutiny

Wei Xun sat in the seat of honor at the conference table. Faced with everyone’s confusion and doubt, his expression remained utterly unchanged. When the arguments had run their course, he raised a hand to quiet them, then slowly began to speak. His voice was not loud, yet every word landed with the force of iron.

“My latest information shows that this Future Eye project contains a fatal hidden danger we failed to uncover in the early stages. If these risks erupt, they will bring Yachuang tremendous danger and losses.”

A long line of people and dogs was swiftly driven inside Yanmen Pass, and the military stronghold beyond was not something men of their present civilian status, like Zhuo Bufan and the others, were qualified to see.

After only one exchange, Chang Sheng could tell clearly that although his cultivation was higher than Chang Shan’s, his actual strength might be slightly weaker.

Tang Yaotian did not look back, but he could hear Bi Yue’s footsteps, heavy as the tolling of a bell, striking at his heart. It put him much more at ease.

Jie Yifan’s appearance immediately drew everyone’s attention. Even over at the Zhou family martial hall, Zhou Xun and his son exchanged a bewildered glance and shook their heads, saying they had no idea what the man was up to.

His attitude toward Li Jun was no longer the disdain he had shown at their first meeting; instead, he somehow grew more and more compatible with him as they talked, with none of that hostile, bloodshot enmity of old enemies meeting again.

Looking at his body, one and a half fingers were missing from his left hand, his entire right arm had vanished, there was a gaping hole through his right chest, and one third of the muscles around his waist had been blown to fragments.

Turning to look at Yanran, Yanran also hurriedly turned around, and the two of them moved in step toward the cave. But just after they entered, Long Xuankong suddenly lifted one arm and placed it on Yanran’s shoulder.

Ro Tian, hidden within the void, rolled his eyes and could not be bothered to deal with that stupid dragon. He turned his attention back to Poseidon.

To keep the situation from growing worse, she followed Shangguan Wan’er’s advice, abandoned all struggle, and stopped interfering or running about. She stayed in the house, pacing in circles and waiting for the matter to reach its end.

In City X, Ye Xiaoduan had also learned that Ruxue had been kidnapped. But from where he was in City S, he did not know the details, nor how dangerous Ruxue’s situation truly was, so he called Ye Gucheng.

Mierd stood silent and led the way in front. Along the road, beast carcasses lay scattered here and there. Xiao Zilong followed closely behind him. Above everyone’s heads, lights shimmered—that was their immortal weapons. They were already prepared to fight at any moment.

Zhu Junyang was wondering whether the Imperial Workshop had received a batch of highly transparent glass. He did not know whether the emperor had made any arrangements for it, or what the chances would be if he asked the emperor for it.

Everyone was moved. A strong soul meant strong spiritual sense, and strong spiritual sense was of even greater help in studying, alchemy, artifact forging, talisman crafting, and formations.

Likewise, thanks to one casual move by Yun Cai’er, some of the old soldiers up in the sky did not die either. At that moment, all of them looked down at the scene below and felt their stomachs churn, while mucus kept running uncontrollably from their noses.

Well then—Huang Zhiwei was nearly speechless. Fortunately, everyone else who followed the Western entertainment circle knew at least a little about it.

Who would have thought that merely a black sword would cut off their offensive, leaving even the two supreme Golden Core cultivators unable to break through.

The room fell silent. At this time, Sixth Elder was also pondering exactly what had gone wrong to bring about such a change. After all, by rights, this should not have happened. The Kong clan had already taken root and flourished on this land, and for so many years, no one had dared to do anything to them.

But they had not gone far when, just as the group leader Zhao was hiding beneath a great tree and preparing to leap toward the one ahead, something grabbed hold of his clothes.

First: Jiangdong has no banner of righteousness. Cao Cao has the Emperor Xian of Han; Jiangdong does not. Jiangdong is a warlord regime established by force, a rebellion, and it cannot win the hearts of the realm or obstruct the reunification of the country.
