Chapter 104: A Nest of Vipers

After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaobao's face revealed a sly smile. He murmured softly, "The Kyoto Lin family? Just a family wiped out twenty years ago. I want to see what kind of ripples this will stir up!" With that, his gaze locked once more on Lin Yu.

He believed he could find a breakthrough from the Lin family's affairs and seize an opportunity to deal with Lin Yu.

He had never imagined befriending Xia Xiner's acquaintances, and he supposed those acquaintances would not have thought of befriending him either.

Mouth agape, a silent roar erupted. The attack was launched by that insect first, its massive body twisting into an afterimage. It charged toward Qi Yu at a speed too swift for the naked eye to follow.

Clenching his fists, Blackie raised his eyebrows smugly, eyeing the dozen or so figures already battered and bruised.

This could be seen from how easily he had dispatched my Thunder Spear. Such strength meant that, at this moment when I could only wield the Moonlight Sword, its power would surely be insufficient to harm him.

"Who?" All Zhi trembled, rubbing his arms in the dilapidated rental house. The windows were already closed, yet the room felt inexplicably colder than before.

This frustration stemmed not from the task's completion but from a soul-shaking impact.

Indeed, not far from the military camp's outskirts, Beidou spotted Jason, Li Fei, and their twenty companions locked in combat with several enemies. The foes were three Crusaders who had burst forth from the chaos, intent on reaching Mecca to fight to the death with jade and stone—perfect for Jason to intercept.

Just as the crowd struggled to fend off the beetles' sudden assault, a multitude of long ape-like creatures descended from the sky above the stone temple, their colossal bodies trailing monsters adorned with spikes.

There was also a bowl of stir-fried water chestnuts with cured pork, the tender yellow water chestnuts nestled within the white, enveloped in oily bacon, complemented by glistening green garlic shoots. The aroma was so enticing it could make one's eyebrows fall.

"For example, you and us always appear in some dangerous places. Where there is war, there are these people. The regions where we are also always have humanitarian disasters everywhere, so there came to be you." Lin Rui shrugged his shoulders.

"Master Jiu Zhen, I'll go call Feng Yu to eat." Feng Qingqing said this, then headed upstairs to summon Feng Yu for a meal.

"Her injury had not fractured the bone but had strained the muscle tissue in her shoulder, causing the swelling. With proper rest, regular medication, and poultices applied on time, she would recover." He spoke while writing out a prescription.

Meng Yijin had learned self-defense techniques from Tang Miaomiao over the past few days. In her heart, Tang Miaomiao remained incredibly powerful, and she felt she needed no one to instruct her. Yet Qi Zhi had shamelessly followed her, leaving her no choice but to consent.

Su Mo vaguely heard the sound of flowing water, but her eyelids felt tightly sealed shut, unable to open no matter the effort.

However, with such a vast outpouring of criticism directed at herself, Qian Xi Ning must have been feeling quite smug at that moment.

"In any case, I answered; it was you who failed to clarify." Meng Yijin rolled her eyes and stated with righteous indignation.

The Green Plum Daoist was so fixated on the divine positions; Mo He suspected he had his own reasons, but until now the Green Plum Daoist had not confided in him.

Since it was an accident, not intentional, and she remained unconscious, having drifted in and out of life and death multiple times, no one knew what precisely had transpired.

"What are you babbling about? I haven't done anything wrong. Why wouldn't I dare to leave the house?" Yu Li confronted the arrogant Xu Li, his expression unmasked with disgust.

Yu Li wished to locate someone to verify Yao Jue's safety, but beyond that phone number, she had no idea how to find him.

Old Dad observed Xu Le getting along splendidly with everyone, gave a subtle nod, and resumed reading his newspaper.
