Chapter 157: Relying on Power to Bully Others
The moment Shen He saw the price, he directly turned off his phone screen.
Originally, he had been wondering if he could spend a little money to buy three hundred catties of mutated beast flesh to complete his mission.
After looking at the price, however, he instantly gave up that idea.
If he really bought three hundred catties of mutated beast flesh from that place, the cost would be enough to buy a house in the capital.
Thinking about it now, those carcasses of the massive beasts he had given away when cooperating with the authorities back then...
He had suffered a massive loss.
"Ah! Hey, hey! Your old servant obeys your decree! Your old servant will go prepare the charcoal brazier for Your Majesty right now!" Old and frail, Li Funian reacted slowly and was sent tumbling by a wave of Guo Wei's sleeve. Yet, he dared neither cry out in surprise nor yelp in pain. Scrambling back up from a roll, he repeatedly voiced his compliance.
At that very instant, Duanmu Yan felt an infinite and boundless force surge forth from the heavens and earth, pouring directly into his body. In a flash, every pore on his body seemed to be forcefully stretched open as fresh blood continuously seeped out. In the blink of an eye, Duanmu Yan had turned into a bloody gourd.
Why would it appear here? I remember the underground palace I entered before entering the Kunlun Mountains was magnificent in architecture and imposing in spirit. Could there be some connection between these two places?
The monk understood tacitly and, taking Zheng Feng with him, left the palace gates straight for the outskirts of the city, arriving at the mountain where they had seen Lin Haihai that day.
By the next day, the Jin army had intended to fight to the death, only to discover upon reaching the walls of Yinzhou City that banners were lowered and drums were silenced, with not a single Song soldier guarding the ramparts. When the Jin troops scaled the city walls, they found them completely empty as well, so they opened the city gates to let the main Jin army march in.
Hearing Li Xiran's words, Old Madam Miao and Old Master Miao exchanged glances before staring at Li Xiran with mounting curiosity.
"It is getting late. Her Empress Dowager and the Emperor will both be arriving shortly. Your Highness, you must first go to offer sacrifices to heaven, then burn incense at Baoguo Temple, and by the time you return, it will be just about right!" Guihua explained.
"No one knows. Many people have investigated her origins, but they couldn't find even the slightest trace. She seemed to appear out of thin air!" Chen Luoqing exclaimed in amazement.
Before long, at the main teaching building, he rendezvoused with Guan Meng, Ao Hu, and Tie Niu. After waiting a little longer, Yu Hongtian arrived in a hurry and joined the group. With this, the lineup known as the Eight Vajras of Xinglong Academy was finally complete.
Qin Yuan was sent back by Tianyang and hurriedly steadied his figure. The brilliant light before him had long since vanished, leaving only Blood Pear Daoist quietly keeping vigil in the spot.
Watching the broadcast of the African journey over the past few days, Zhang Fengqin actually felt quite heartbroken for her son, and out of concern for Li Feng's safety, she only felt somewhat reassured after Zhang Jiajia comforted her by saying the production crew would definitely guarantee everyone's safety.
"Taste this move, Sword Splitting the Earth!" A sword glare nearly ten zhang long slashed down, and the avatar of the Master of Gold and Stone Fortress was instantly swallowed entirely by endless flying rock shards. Bang, bang, bang! A series of explosions echoed out, and under the single sword strike of Haotian, the floor of the Gold and Stone Hall was cleaved into two halves.
This was a massive tree-man nearly thirty meters tall, its entire body exuding the crystalline luster of ancient tree bark etched with heavy, profound patterns. While it might not look like much on the surface, it was actually tougher than magical armor.
Although he didn't know who had meddled and called the police, Number Forty-Six was not someone who couldn't afford to lose; a loss was a loss.
"Roar! You ants, to be able to witness this king's true form with your own eyes in this lifetime, you may consider your deaths well-deserved!" Amidst a low roar, the enraged Fire Qilin's body suddenly expanded. With its head touching the nine heavens and its feet treading upon dark clouds, it cut the figure of a colossal beast blotting out the skies.
"Fine, anyway, I'll be waiting for you tonight to come and have fun together. If there's anything, remind me too, since I specifically came here for your sake after all. You should explain to the people I brought along which schemes those people use and which projects are traps."
Yet even with the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, they could not do whatever they pleased on the second floor; at best, they could only avoid being arbitrarily bullied by others.
