Volume 1, Chapter 52: The Murderer Is Her
In a somewhat remote mountainous area near the edge of the city, a traffic police car was parked. Two traffic police officers, one young and one veteran, draped in thin jackets, rested comfortably in the front seats. With half-closed eyes, they chatted lazily, exchanging a sentence or two in a state of supreme lethargy.
Boss Gao was none other than the chubby owner of the gold shop. The moment Fang Li appeared, much like Yu Han, Gao entered a state of constant standby. No doubt, nobody could tell whether Fang Li would continue to seek him out to sell those items brought back from an unknown dimension. Now that this connection had been established, the state security agents certainly would not give it up easily.
In the dead of the silent night, amidst dim and shifting lights, Fang Jiren looked at Ge Lanlan's shy and beautiful face, and his mind exploded with a deafening roar.
There was something else she left unsaid. Shangpin Yuxin pondered: Yufeng doesn't go to the hospital all that often, does he? Judging by the sound of it, the two of them seem quite familiar. What on earth is going on here? Could there be some illicit affair between them?
"Hello, Li Cheng, is there something you need?" Li Mi asked after answering Li Cheng's call.
Having just snapped out of the excitement of seeing the ocean, Artoria suddenly noticed the abnormality in Saber's mood, and thus asked with a hint of worry.
"Brother Li, how is it that you managed to tear yourself away from your cozy nest?" Lin Bin twitching his eyebrows, teased.
With no response coming from the opposing side for a long time, Francis grew somewhat annoyed. Did they really take him for a mere bandit to be dealt with, too disdainful to even speak with him? He gave a few instructions to his subordinates behind him, and several cavalrymen armed with heavy crossbows stepped forward from the rear.
Qi Yao seemed to have some inkling of what Ah Jiu was about to say next. His complexion instantly turned ashen, and he glared straight at Ah Jiu with simmering fury, attempting to use the full weight of his anger to stop Ah Jiu from continuing.
Not only that, he actually knew that the Medical Sage and the Medical Immortal had already passed away, and was able to find the Ghost Doctor Liu Qing without a single scratch, obtaining the Heaven-Reversing Pill from his hands.
"This is the Main Hall of our Xuantian Sect, the most important place in our entire sect. Usually, the Sect Master and all the elders discuss matters here," An Miao'er pointed toward the magnificent hall ahead, introducing it to Feng Ling'er.
"If the hemoglobin level drops below 88%, start the blood transfusion immediately!" The nurse nearby immediately grabbed a bag of blood from the adjacent disinfection cabinet.
Lin Hao had taken the initiative to pick a fight with him, only to be heavily beaten up. If he were to leave without coughing up something valuable, wouldn't others assume that he, Xu Feng, was someone anyone could bully at will?
Suddenly, the statue emitted a deep breath, causing Shu Wen to instantly tense up. The next moment, the statue slowly opened its eyes, casting a deep and ancient gaze upon her.
"It's not about surviving, but rather walking out bathed in your plasma energy cannons. A mere laser cannon is simply incapable of harming me," Ao Yu laughed.
With that, she waved both hands, and instantly a golden radiance shot from her fingertips, lunging toward the young man like a golden dragon. The young man immediately felt an overwhelming force enveloping him, sending a wave of panic through his heart as he hurriedly mustered all his strength to resist.
A man like Xu Xian, who was like gold on the outside and rotten grass on the inside, was full of sweet nothings, yet treated his elder sister poorly indeed. Even when his sister had nearly lost her life for his sake, Xu Xian had never once dared to stand up for her in front of the Qingshan Sect.
The microphone sank into the cream, leaving only the family portrait of Zhou Yu, Lin Shu, and Lin Sifan smiling happily under the lights.
Down below, a long snake-like tail abruptly materialized, a form that made Ao Yu feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The Sect Master began his cultivation step by step, while Shi Ganzhang and A Bao, recovering from their initial daze, finally remembered the Sect Master's instructions. The two of them hurriedly skimmed through the jade slip given by the Sect Master, pushing aside their inner shock to first inform the cultivators on the outer islands that the island-protecting grand array had been completely sealed off, figuring out how to handle the aftermath later.
"My lord's reprimand is well-deserved," Zhang He replied consecutively, noting that his tongue had simply slipped earlier and he had momentarily forgotten that Zhang Xiu was standing right beside him. As for calling someone a "smelly-tempered" fellow, he had indeed said those very words right in front of Yan Gang.
With a single punch that blew away Guangchengzi's Heaven-Seizing Seal, Bai Qi, whose three hidden attributes had now fully erupted, wore a cold sneer in his eyes and spoke with utter disdain.
Stepping out the door, Ye Han suddenly halted, his eyes fixing a cold, indifferent gaze upon Yang Xi as he spoke in a low, authoritative voice that brooked no resistance, sounding almost like an order.
That arm was as white and flawless as jade, yet its skin surface was overlaid with a faint layer of gold, imparting a sense of supreme dignity and grandeur.
"What do you mean, 'what's good'? Won't you stop this at once?" Before E Lai's voice had even faded, another loud shout echoed. Everyone looked over and saw that Marshal Zhao had arrived. As it turned out, a company commander had already gone to report the matter, and he too had rushed over in a hurry.
"You..."褚遂良 was so enraged by these words that smoke practically poured from his seven orifices, trembling all over as he pointed at Li Hao. He finally understood why Kong Yingda had been angered to death by Li Hao, because this scoundrel was truly, genuinely infuriating.
Snugh sensed this phenomenon and instantly caught its drift. He knew that of the two of them, the one truly capable of unleashing soul-sealing arts in such a place was not him, but rather the fellow by his side—the one who had already become the new Soul Summoner and was destined to become the patriarch of the Ghost Clan.
Today, as we offer sacrifices to heaven and dispatch our troops, though the ceremony has been endlessly long, the battle flags of our state of Qin are stained with the blood of that immortal, Old Longevity Star.
Bai Lian stepped forward and took the jade slip into his hands first. His spiritual sense could sense the whisk and the dragon scales, yet this jade slip alone completely eluded his perception. Within his divine sense, the jade slip felt as formless and colorless as a gust of clear wind, extraordinarily abstruse.
When Elder Liang walked out of the conference room, his mood felt somewhat heavy. He began to feel that this time, he was gradually losing his grip on the opponent's true strength. For all these years, it was the first time he had ever experienced such a feeling.
"You remind me of a restaurant waiter," the completely earnest response from Lee Pace left Drake thoroughly satisfied, prompting him to raise a hand and rap gently on the door.
Yet there was no help for it; the rules of the world were simply thus—natural selection, survival of the fittest. If the Ling family were to be crushed by the Wang family, their own fate would likely be no better.
"Grand Commander need not worry too much. As long as Grand Commander remains within the Black Armor encampment, they wouldn't dare charge in," Xing Ziye's tone remained unwavering and absolute.
"I am being serious. Can someone please tell me what on earth is going on with these live-streaming cameras? When I signed my contract, why did nobody bother to inform me of this?" Pace glanced left and right, trying to spot the Coen brothers amidst the crowd, his mind filled with question marks in desperate need of an explanation.
Hearing the word "ours," Lin Sha was momentarily stunned, but her feet involuntarily took a couple of steps forward. Resting her hands on the brand-new wooden railing, she felt an extraordinary joy blossom in her heart, and the gaze she cast toward Zhang Xiu, who was practicing his swordplay in the distance, grew immensely tender.
