Chapter 79: Progress Made
In this era, summer temperatures were still within normal ranges, just over thirty degrees Celsius. Though it was hot, it was nothing compared to twenty years later, when advances in technology led to heightened greenhouse effects and temperatures soared close to forty degrees. By then, few people would be out shopping.
After Jiang Butong finished unloading the goods, he prepared to leave and look for Jiang Yuan.
Chen Pan’er saw Jiang Butong drive away through the shop window. She had wanted to ask him about his new car...
“Beehive challenges Bat Cave, I hope for your guidance.” No sooner had the Golden Lion King finished speaking than Bai Yuyu’s challenge echoed across the square.
Just then, Feng Yong and Hao Shuai arrived with a few subordinates; in fact, they were also here to see Ye Bai.
Some time passed, and there was still no movement from Han Xiao’s side. Suddenly, his phone rang. He took it out and saw, to his surprise, that it was Qin Siling. He wondered what that girl wanted with him at this hour.
No sooner had Long Zhong finished speaking than Lotus wrapped her arms around him and pressed her lips tightly to his.
Chen Mushou had indeed brought officers from the police station. As more than a dozen armed policemen suddenly appeared without a sound, Wang Ergou, Chen Er, and Wang Mingshan silently cursed their luck. It was too late to disperse and escape.
The sales assistant hurriedly supported the store manager, watching as Chen Xinghai and his two companions unleashed a torrent of vulgarities, their cursing fierce and relentless.
“Where’s Yitao?” He suddenly realized that Shi Yitao’s presence was missing from the group. His heart skipped a beat as he searched again, but there was still no trace of him.
“He will! But it won’t be Shi Miyuan; it might be Zhao Yun himself,” Fang Ning said firmly.
He was used to doing as he pleased, never thinking to restrain himself. If entering here meant he could not act freely, he would rather not enter at all.
If one’s strength was insufficient and one approached the Celestial Star Tower, one would have to force their way through the formation, suffering the backlash and punishment of the array.
Xu Muling had long since memorized the route, but her skills were suppressed and there were many obstacles to consider. Thus, she had yet to rescue Bai Ling. She led Han Wanmeng through deserted lands to the cold pool and black lake.
Blood Moon truly hadn’t expected even those from the Wasteland Era to awaken and return. This was beyond his expectations; since those ancient ones had awakened, those from the Primordial Era were likely on the verge of return as well.
For the illustrious Gu family’s young lady to speak such nonsense here—if word got out, others would laugh themselves to death.
Indeed, she had been waiting for these seven years. For an entity like me, who is little more than a wisp of air unaware of when it will cease to exist, there is nothing more important than watching her every move, every hour of every day.
By sealing the heart’s meridian with the Divine Needle, as long as the poison did not reach the heart, the victim would not die immediately. As long as they lived, they could become a human-shaped poison, letting the other party absorb the poison until it killed them.
Lei Yongbing and Wang Gang had been puzzled as to why Minister Yun would come, and with the entire National Martial Arts Department in tow. It turned out he had gone to summon them himself.
She clung to Xu Muling, covering his cheeks with frantic kisses. This was the last warmth she could offer him.
He had once promised to stay with her in the Demon Realm for three years. She had believed Xu Muling to be a man of his word. Perhaps she had misjudged him; Han Wanmeng was, and so was Xu Muling.
Xing Twelve moved like a phantom wind, appearing before Snowfall in the blink of an eye and blocking her path.
In fact, Lü Qianjiao was the cruelest arrangement Liu Zhi had made in the name of brotherhood. If Leng Jiang were to meet with misfortune, Lü Qianjiao would not escape unscathed. Their marriage was one in name only in this world, but perhaps they would be true companions on the road to the underworld. Brother Leng Jiang, this is all I can do for you.
Thus, Zheng Ying and Wu Lanhua, along with Dan Xunfei and Liu Zhi, accompanied the two sisters onto a large ship bound for Shuixi Tun Island.
Wu Zheng squeezed his legs, and Mo Chi leaped into the air. His first Meteor Chasing the Moon spear attack missed, but he immediately followed with Four-Point Sweeping Gale, the spear smashing down upon Tu Xuanzhong’s lower back—right at his vital point. Tu felt his whole body jolt, sprawled forward, and crashed to the ground, rolling eighteen times to regain his footing.
