Chapter 156: The Sky-Fleeing Shuttle (8,000 words)

An awkward silence hung in the living room for a moment.

Shen He sat on the sofa, sighed, and said, "A hundred it is, then. Forge it immediately."

As his words fell, his remaining eighteen hundred points dropped by another hundred.

The fist-sized spiritual energy ore was sucked into the equipment forging platform, and the familiar sound echoed in his ears.

Initiating, initiating, initiating, and this as well...

As the light flashed before his eyes, just as the equipment was about to—

After a brief introduction, it turned out that the sales manager responsible for this villa district was surnamed Lin. Upon meeting Jiang Hanying, he appeared rather nervous, and from his words, it became clear that the villas were apparently not selling very well.

How formidable! This primordial spirit could actually go toe-to-toe with a battle spirit in the initial stage of Condensing Spirit. If dozens of such primordial spirits swarmed forward together, wouldn't the battle spirit be instantly reduced to seconds?

Zheng Qingzhi was furious. Having Zhen Dexiu in the imperial court was truly no good thing; at every turn, this fellow went against him. This occasion should have been a prime opportunity to deal Gao Huaiyuan a severe blow, yet because of Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, Gao Huaiyuan had slipped away once again.

There was no longer any opportunity to seize more spoils. Chu Tianshu let out a secret sigh, his backhanded Dragon-Suppressing Sword executing a precise parry.

Standing nearby and staring at the photograph, I was already dumbfounded. Based on Li Qi's description, the old man in the photo was unmistakably the owner of this snack shop. But why had I seen him before?

That was the most formidable treasure and weapon Zhao Peng had ever laid eyes on after awakening his martial arts bloodline and stepping through the gates of martial cultivation. As for the two-丈-long silver spear Zhao Peng had previously obtained after defeating the Hai family, and the heavy door-panel greatsword acquired after slaying the Side-Wielding Sword Slave, they fell far too short compared to Hua Yin's Blade of Burning Abyss.

"The time to close the net has come. The Brave Dragon Guard is currently understaffed, so the previous plan can now be carried out. Also, Xu Ziling's residence in Yongxingfang is empty, and our prior operation can be extended to his home. This time, Xu Ziling is bound to die; no one can save him!" said Chief Secretary Yang.

Amidst the fierce-in-appearance-but-faint-of-heart shouting of the second fellow, a full vat of water was "splash-smashed" entirely over Chu Ge's face, and the white porcelain water vat itself crashed down onto Chu Ge's head with a dull "thud."

Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on each island garrison had a significant gap compared to their original sects, to avoid hindering cultivation, all the slightly larger sects had established spirit-gathering arrays within their quarters, which could multiply the spiritual energy within the array's range several times over.

Momo rolled her eyes. The person sitting next to her, naturally, was none other than Bergelis, who had been with her all along. There was a sword wound on his right arm, still looking somewhat shocking, and Momo was in the midst of bandaging it for him.

The Emperor little knew that his fondness for Daiyu had long since exceeded the attitude of an ordinary elder toward a younger relative. Indeed, just as the Empress had said, anyone unaware might truly have mistaken her for a precious pearl dropped and lost from the imperial house.

Aside from the bald-headed, cape-wearing hero Li Qi, there was also Chen Taiyue from the former city of Jinling, along with Chu Babaoguang who possessed the Hulk bloodline, and Ye Miaomiao with the Blacklight Virus bloodline—these two supreme powerhouses who had held back Aizen in the Battle of Shencheng had unexpectedly arrived together.

However, because the content within this unknown object was pitifully scarce, and Bai Feng had spent so much time with Fang Yuanyuan that he lacked the slightest bit of ambition—furthermore, the two of them had no use for such a substance—he didn't worry about it at all. He merely told Fang Yuanyuan casually, "There's something good inside," and left it at that.

Uh, there's no need to put it quite like that. Song Ersheng thought to herself that it would probably be best not to let Nana and Meng Meng meet for a while.

Du Fu collapsed completely onto the ground, her lips twitching for a long time without managing to utter a single coherent word. She could only stare fixedly at Qian Jinhong's retreating figure and the heavy doors closing shut in front of her.

Chang Ge nodded. "This wasn't a coincidence; it was a stakeout. Now that they've discovered you by my side and realized it's a major scoop, they've shown themselves directly." After a moment of thought, she added, "I'll leave through the front entrance, and I'll have the manager take you out through the back." With that, she turned to leave in a hurried manner.
