Volume 1 Chapter 23 Who Does She Think She Is!

I knew he surely had something to say to me, so I glanced at Jiang Lele and gestured for her to leave first. Jiang Lele was very obedient; she nodded at me and walked out slowly, not forgetting to close the door behind us.

The terrifying pressure radiating from Bai Suzhen truly left them without the slightest inclination to resist.

"We have arrived." Just as I was lost in my own thoughts, the car came to a stop. We had reached the headquarters of the Heavenly God Group.

These two old hags were decrepit, looking like women at death's door, but through his combat power system, Xu Feiyue observed that their power levels reached over forty thousand—both were super-experts at the second heaven of the Reincarnation Realm.

He was also impatient to communicate with the ancestor of the Soul-Devouring Heavenly Armor Beetles, but because of the situation with Qin Hao, he had to suppress the impulse in his heart.

In an obscure secret room within the restricted area, people were sitting, lying, or resting in various postures. They appeared to have their eyes closed, but in reality, they were all meditating. These very individuals were the root cause behind the self-destruction of those two spiders.

According to Xu Feng, even if we returned to the game world now, once Zhu Qingyun used the Imperial Law to dissolve our alliance agreement and manipulated Xiao Chen and Xiao Shilang, he could command the monsters and zombies to strike all of our bases.

"Um... I was wrong... stand next to me, that way you can avoid the interference of these swords," Tian Xin said weakly.

"What did you say to him? How could a single sentence make him faint?" I questioned.

In the next moment, the lights of the Dream went out one after another. All the indicator lights on the control instruments in the control room turned pitch black. Aside from the minimal red emergency lights, most of the power-consuming equipment on the ship had shut down.

Wan Songbai stared blankly at his mother's scarred face—was she talking about their own family? It was precisely because she refused to bow her head or bend her waist while his father was alive, making too many enemies in the county, that they were beset on all sides when his father suddenly passed away.

Now it seemed... there was only a dead end, otherwise, Wei Feng would not have spoken such words to their faces.

Lady Xiao felt her limbs go weak, yet she remained clear-headed, explaining to everyone that it was due to the fatigue of their recent travels.

However, this time she had to stay in Tokyo for work. With a different mindset, naturally, what she saw and felt was entirely different. The prosperity and bustle that once amazed her had become a source of unease. She feared that her provincial air would prevent her from attaining the opportunities she desired.

Zhang Chi had already recognized that this was Shen Yue, the person whose photo Wu Wenliang and the others had shown him earlier—the culprit who had caused them to be hospitalized.

"That doesn't seem right. I promised Mom I'd be home for dinner tonight..." Kamachi Hikaru immediately hesitated. While having dinner with her father was something she yearned for, she had already given her word to Sakai Izumi.

By the moonlight, he confirmed that Matsushita and Sasaki had been abducted. Because the three of them belonged to the same unit, they shared a secret hand signal: when being held captive, one only needed to make a fist with both hands, thumbs tucked inside.

There were two possible reasons why he could not be found: either he was dead, murdered by his own parents or brothers.

But regardless of whether he believed it or not, he could not bring himself to visit the inner courtyard to see Yao Youqing again. Asking even a few questions felt like too much of an intrusion.

The reason was simple: as long as one participated in combat, they had to let Liu Guohui inspect their fighter jets both before and after takeoff; this was Liu Guohui's job.

Suddenly, the wooden door opened, a strong wind blew in, and characters were carved into the open ground by a powerful true essence.

"Hehe." The shopkeeper sat in the chair before Bu Qianhuai and gently tore away the covering on his face. It was actually a human-skin mask, and beneath it lay a beautiful face.

"What is Wims doing? With an army of two hundred thousand, how could he let the enemy cavalry break through the defensive line? Is he sleeping?" Chekhov shouted, his face ashen.

The mission for all players was to collect all eighteen pages of insights to obtain the true "Insights of the Craftsman God." After reading the mission summary, Lao Jiu was speechless. This system was something else; it wouldn't issue a mission for three years, and when it finally did, it might take another three years for anyone to complete it.

Chu Tianyu shouted loudly toward the sky, but he received no response; Shui Yiyi had long since vanished.

Two voices rang out simultaneously: one was Chen Fei facing the spirit of Wutong Xuan as it was about to escape, and the other was a roar from Yu Zhu, facing the persistent techniques of Liu Tian.

Following that, three spherical objects appeared in the sky, falling into the courtyard and exploding. The yard instantly became an ocean of smoke, making it impossible to see the surroundings.

Mission Reward: Randomly obtain one technique from the slain monk and receive half of the monk's true essence capacity.

After a moment, Ye Feng arrived at the great hall. Stepping inside, he saw the Underworld Ice Black Dragon and the Black Tortoise each sitting on a cushion, smiling at him. However, the Green-Eyed Fire Toad was not there; he did not know where it had gone.

Liu Tian spoke for a very, very long time. Finally, when the martial energy on his hands had nearly exhausted most of what was in his martial sea, the energy carrying his words descended onto the spring water. It transformed into a paper crane, swimming gently on the surface of the water without tilting.
