26. On the Scales of Justice, the Ministry of Education
The two walked toward the destination. Although it looked close, they had been walking for a while and still hadn't arrived. The youth had Lu Man hold the other end of the stick, pulling her along as they went.
The mercenary captain turned his focus to Ryan, knocking him unconscious with a single blow from the butt of his rifle. He bound him repeatedly; this was a prize to be captured for the Umbrella Corporation.
But the fish Li Bai caught—the species was truly rare. How did he manage it in such a short time?
Mount Longhu had always been on the same front as Xu Zhou, so the group did not appear overly panicked.
He had extended this courtesy only because they were currently the only force in this land openly resisting the Japanese. However, Xia Yanhang’s bossy attitude truly disgusted him, stirring up memories of the past.
Even for a cultivator at the first level of the Foundation Establishment stage, reaching the third level in three months was incredibly difficult; the success rate was near zero.
Was he destined to die like this? Not even knowing why he existed in this world?
After some persuasion, Lin Zhao finally agreed, following them to the food stalls outside the school.
Luo Shaozhuang took deep breaths to calm himself. He truly felt that Gu Chujian had gone mad, for a full forty thousand men were charging across the bridge.
Of course, they did not yet know that Su Yijin had left on her own; they assumed someone had broken into the Lou residence and abducted her.
Ace sensed a thick, malevolent aura emanating from his beloved disciple, Hong Yue. However, unsure if his judgment was accurate, he asked in a "foolish" manner; indeed, it was perfectly normal to lose one's ability to judge after a fierce battle.
Lin Yi’s gaze turned golden, taking in everything in the distance, and he quickly assessed the situation.
The final result was inevitable: both sides were left battered and exhausted. When both were down to their last breath, they were carried away.
A grown man, now teetering as if a gust of wind could knock him over.
Damn it! He said he would deal with me; could it be that he has already prepared men outside to pin me in this room and forcibly take back this seal-stone box?
Su Yijin couldn't help but look up at Lou Yanming, just as a ray of sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling window, landing upon him.
Most of the Miao people had never seen the outside world. People like Weng Ka and Dong Dan, who held guard duties within the tribe, at most went to the town and did not interact with the outside.
As for the massive family enterprise of the Wei clan, even though Wei Zhedong had ceded the CEO position to Wei Xiaoli, the combined shares held by him and Elder Wei were still enough to sway the company. In other words, the Wei enterprise was still, in effect, Wei Zhedong’s.
The object in the brocade box was a white-glazed jar with brown patterns, medium-sized, with simple decorations on the shoulders and base, and a painted scene in the center accompanied by a poem.
Deep within the Wizard Tower, in a hidden location, inside a pool of molten lava that had been sealed for countless years, it seemed as if a command had been received. Terrifying power was being extracted bit by bit, flowing instantly through mysterious channels into every area of the Wizard Tower.
"Let go of A-Hao, is it proper for a young girl to be acting like this?" Shuli looked at her mother, stuck out her tongue playfully, then looked at Jin Minghao, smiled, and hugged him even tighter.
She thought back to how they had conspired to cover up the fact that Baili Cang’s concubine mother was already pregnant when she entered the house. When she was about to give birth, they deliberately schemed against his own mother, framing her for causing the concubine to go into premature labor and give birth to Baili Cang early.
These undead seemed to be under a paralysis spell, all standing still, allowing Li Mo and his ten subordinates to harvest them.
The food portions were generous, and since Liv did not have a large appetite, she couldn't finish it all. Moreover, she knew that although Aunt Mary had prepared lunch, she hadn't eaten any herself.
"Including you, once it is discovered that you have thoughts of betraying the Lord, the Sovereign Authority will purge even you. This is an order from the Great Elder." The words Hua Jun spoke made Heather’s face pale; she hadn't realized she was within the scope of the purge.
But it was too late. Daisy had already been somewhat close to Simon, and even though she had been watching him and ran over the moment she sensed something wrong, the act of inhaling took very little time—before Daisy could pounce, Simon had already completed the action.
Zhang Qing understood these things; Qiu Yue might only half-understand, but after calming down and thinking it over, he would eventually realize.
"And that bastard Jing Qi! I’m going to tear him limb from limb!" A glow of jealous hatred radiated from the Flame Demon’s eyes.
Just then, the door to Yuchi Xin’s dilapidated wooden hut opened, and a figure in a hooded cloak walked in.
Wang Kaihua immediately lowered his head in shame, then glanced at me with a regretful expression, shaking his head slightly.
"That's right, if I weren't a freak, how could I be so hopelessly in love with an enemy of my family?" Lin Wanqing said with a smile.
"Loser, this is no place for you to speak." Xiao Nan put on an infuriating expression and waved his hand, signaling he didn't want to talk to Liu Dongqiang. Qian Baozhi almost wanted to applaud; Xiao Nan was the first person to shut Liu Dongqiang up with a single sentence.
"Yes, Boss!" Fu Tian and the others said in unison. As they looked at each other, they knew that the Heavenly Guards had finally been born.
"It was Lu Qingchen!" Ning Wutao and Lin Xiaozhi scrambled to answer, fearing the matter might be linked to them.
Normally, the price of a peak Demon Monarch-level skeleton would reach seven or eight million Divine Blood Stones, or even as much as ten million.
He seemed quite pleased with this remark, tossing back a glass of wine that slid down his throat. A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at Zhang Linfan, who was sitting to the side, his lips curling in a provocative sneer.
