Volume One, Chapter 101: Autumn Examination Turmoil (Part One)

Ji Die had already gathered some information from the three individuals. They were in the vicinity of the Heavenly Dao Sect, which happened to be hosting its Autumn Examination trials. He had stumbled into this area by pure accident.

Ji Die felt quite helpless about the situation. Not wishing to invite further trouble, he prepared to leave as soon as possible. However, his well-intentioned advice seemed to have the opposite effect.

"Telling us not to strike? What arrogance!"
"How insolent. I'd like to see just how much ability you truly possess."

The remaining two disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, named Cheng Li and Xia Zhi, exploded with rage. One of them immediately began casting a spell; a seal shaped like a small mountain flew out, rapidly expanding in the wind until it reached over a dozen zhang in size...

She picked up her phone and opened WeChat. Gazing at Jiang Yichen's profile picture, she hesitated for a long time, struggling internally, but eventually forced herself to suppress the urge to send him a message. Whether it was true or false, what did it have to do with her? Rather than inviting humiliation, it was better to remain indifferent.

For instance, whenever it was overcast, windy, or raining, your sword-wielding arm would involuntarily go numb and itchy, sometimes even losing sensation entirely.

Zhao Leng did not want to let this rare lead slip away, so he gritted his teeth and followed them inside.

The Yamen of the Chang'an Magistrate was not located in a remote part of the city. As Li Zhiyan approached the gates, the crowd around Bai Zhi grew increasingly dense.

Once they had spoken, they pushed back their hoods, revealing their true faces. As it was a moonlit night, complemented by the surrounding lanterns, everyone could just barely make out their features.

The sudden change in the Pokémon egg immediately shifted the crowd's focus. They watched with bated breath as the egg in Alan's hands began to emit a radiant hatching glow, erupting into a flurry of excited discussion. Many quickly pulled out their phones to record this rare spectacle.

Sun Feng finished speaking, then produced several plump wild rabbits and pheasants from the Shennong Cauldron's space and began to barbecue them on the spot.

Since there is mutual agreement, let us cooperate and make a fortune together. It will also help Wang Liangtian fulfill a regret.

In Alan's view, Oshawott’s aloof and solitary nature really needed to change; for the sake of team harmony, being too much of a maverick would not do.

Alan had arrived quietly. At the time, the employees, whose eyes were fixed on the battlefield, had not noticed his presence. Now, as his voice cut through the heavy silence, everyone on the scene turned their gaze toward him.

After all, in her view, although their company held great prestige in China, it had none in this Eastern Hemisphere. Therefore, demonstrating their power at this moment would be highly beneficial for their future business dealings.

Qing Yunzi’s wrinkles slowly smoothed out after hearing our words. He reached out to stroke his graying beard, looking at me with profound meaning.

The five flags it brought out were array flags used for setting up formations. Different colored flags placed in different directions and positions would result in different types of arrays.

Reasonably speaking, having just lost a child and being guarded against and kept in the dark by those closest to her, she should have experienced intense emotional fluctuations, yet she felt only numbness.

"Yes, yes, the Consort is right to reprimand me. This concubine will listen to the opera properly now!" The beauty in green smiled and apologized repeatedly. Seeing that the Consort Shu no longer paid her any mind, she focused her attention on the performance.

Since Ye Lan had spoken to this extent, Ling Xuan did not know what else to say; his heart and eyes were filled with gratitude.

"I am truly sorry, Madam. You said you wanted to come down to tour the servants' quarters; I never expected you to see such a chaotic scene." The manager offered Jiang Wan a smile filled with apology and trepidation.

"You know everything I do? Then why do you only know I have been searching for someone, but not who I am searching for?" Wei Qingqing asked Bai Ci calmly in return.

As her voice trailed off, an auction stage rose from the level platform in front of the Spirit Fox. On its jade-like surface sat an exquisite tray, delicate as sunset clouds and carved with intricate patterns.

Although this discount could only be offered by this middle-aged man, the boss felt it was worth it to entice the "Big Cockroach." What was a little less profit compared to securing such a client?

Meng Fan smiled. That was more like it. If it were only Old Man Wang, would he really need to run all the way here just to eat duck eggs? He probably would have just made a phone call.

A heap of thatch was revealed inside the wooden crate. Digging through the thatch, a pile of hemp rope appeared.

"That works, that works! Let me smoke a cigarette first! You go ahead and get busy!" Xiao Yunfei smiled, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag, blowing the smoke directly into Wei Lanying’s face.

Xiao Yunfei struck, his speed like lightning. His hand gripped the throat of the "Thousand-Faced Beauty." With the slightest bit of pressure, her neck would be crushed instantly, just like all the others before her.

When dealing with the injured, Xiao Yunfei had only one principle: attack the wounded areas or the weakest points of defense as much as possible. Consequently, these injured men were nothing more than chopped vegetables before him—wishes and reality often drifted far apart.

"Bang!" A car had chased them halfway when it suddenly rammed into the side of Wei Lanying’s vehicle, leaving a massive dent. Wei Lanying was startled and had no time to bicker with Xiao Yunfei about Xie Peng.

Ye Chen paid no heed to the blood-red mist staining his energy shield. With a few flashes, he appeared beside the tentacle-creature warriors outside the sub-ship. His domain erupted suddenly, and before these seventh or eighth-level warriors could even react, they were reduced to ashes.

The other major factions were clearly shocked as well, especially the Ning family, who had been kept in the dark.

Nian Changfeng struck first. With a glare, he pushed his right wrist forward steadily. Though the movement was slow, the force behind it surged like a destructive flood toward the purple-robed, masked figure several zhang away.

As the three sat at the dining table, Li Xi turned on the television in the living room, locking it onto the Longhai First News channel. She stared at the screen, hoping to understand what kind of stir Xiao Yunfei and the mixed-race Su Nan had caused last night, but the news today contained nothing she wanted to see.

He lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep drag. The tobacco glowed a deep red, illuminating his face but failing to light up the dim, grey room. One smoke ring after another drifted from his lips, striking the ceiling before dissipating into nothingness.
