Chapter 64: China and the United States Forced on the Defensive, Piercing the Market

Shana felt the exact same way about the impending materialization of her willpower. Their past battles side by side and all those shared emotions had undoubtedly transformed into an obsession to fight the young man—and even herself—and ultimately emerge victorious.

A golden light began to glow from Gu Sanqiu's chest, and a series of magnificent and noble auras slowly converged, finally manifesting as an imperial decree right in the center of the conference hall.

Their frozen knees were already finding it difficult to move, and even those who occasionally finished their shift and relaxed in preparation to leave found themselves unable to take a single step.

Had he known prior to his departure that Xu Yue was carrying his child, he would have undoubtedly taken her along with him on his flight from home, unless Xu Yue herself had been unwilling to elope with him. After all, leaving one's homeland meant facing wind, snow, rain, hardship, and a bumpy, rugged road ahead.

Seeing that Russell had the urge to stroll down to the town below, Doom raised his right hand and cast a spell, rendering the cylindrical barrier floating beside him invisible.

Ghost Recorders were precisely such unique beings; their organization always seemed to harbor unfathomable powerhouses that ordinary people could never hope to understand.

The only regret was that ever since the investigators began their operations, they had failed to capture a single living soul.

Yet, this feeling of putting your all into provoking someone, only for the opponent to completely ignore you, was all the more infuriating.

Mr. Tang had arrived in Shanghai, and Jiang Shan could not refuse his dates. Although their meetings took place in bustling restaurants and dining establishments in full view of the public, Mr. Tang's such deep and devoted affection made it impossible for her to utter a single word that might disappoint him. Even though their encounters remained strictly courteous, their hearts seemed to be drawing closer with each passing day.

However, because the remnants of the demon gods had suffered a devastating blow not long ago, neither of their insights and breakthroughs was affected in the least; it could be said to have happened as naturally as water flowing to form a channel.

Moreover, the man was no fool; he knew well that anyone capable of appearing on Imperial Capital Road was proof enough that Ye Baopao was far from ordinary.

"It is not that simple. According to Taoist alchemical texts, entering inward from the space between the eyebrows, one inch is the Hall of Brightness, two inches is the Chamber of Mystery, and three inches is the Upper Cinnabar Field, also known as the Purple Mansion. The Upper Cinnabar Field is one and two-tenths of an inch in radius, which is a void aperture containing the primordial true spirit. Once the elixir is formed, this place becomes the exit point for the spirit," said Li Yuangong.

With that, Ran Tianlei specifically glanced at Hai Litian, offered him a flattering smile, and then said to Gu Nuannuan, "Master, don't look at its unappealing appearance; its taste is actually quite wonderful. More importantly, the energy contained within this fruit is extremely beneficial to the human body."

Hearing Mou Qing speak thus, Zhao Ruoqing panicked and hastily reached out to grab Mou Qing's arm. However, at that moment, Mou Qing took a few steps backward. Amidst the pulling and retreating, a sharp tearing sound echoed as Zhao Ruoqing's short skirt ripped open.

Especially after hearing the news of Wenren Xi's recent pregnancy, combined with the fact that she herself did not frequently stay by Ye Baopao's side, a sense of crisis could not help but well up in her heart.

Early the next morning, when Zhou Mingxi woke up, the sky was already bright. Casting a glance beside her and finding that Mou Yi was long gone, a wave of desolation washed over her heart.

Aiming at the spot, Yiling gathered her inner breath and leaped high over the wall without making a sound, then crept stealthily toward the room where Luo Weimin was being detained.

Tang Ermei was lost in daydreaming and was startled awake by this shout. Driven by a primitive instinct to avoid making a noise, she first glared at Luo Zhi before moving to close the door. Luo Zhi instantly grew annoyed; the fraction of his heart that had just softened was thoroughly erased by that glare.

And so, Miao Yulan thought of demanding money from Guo Zhiyuan—having, of course, made promises of benefits to her sons as well. It was for this reason that her three sons had accompanied her on this trip. Initially, they went to Guo Zhiyuan's home, only to hear that Guo Zhiyuan was already dead, which left the Guo family utterly dumbfounded.

Had they known it would come to this, they should have thoroughly crippled that soul body acting as the vessel spirit during the earlier handling.

Ferocious beasts were treasures from head to toe; even digging out their beast gems could fetch a handsome price. Relying on these beasts, Wang Chao had amassed a great fortune.

This battle raged all the way from the depths of the Gloomy Wind Gorge to its exterior, leaving the corpses of colossal demonic apes strewn across the ground along the entire path.

The pale blue light barrier vanished abruptly, and the silhouette of the spirit seed "Sagali" ceased to exist as well. Trying to find it again from the vast, countless dimensions and even planes was an almost impossible task.

Chu Yunsheng's vital energy was rapidly depleting, and the green fluorescent stinger-leeches finally began to noticeably diminish in number.

It was precisely based on this that I disagree with the Academy of Sciences' view. I believe that those red-armored beetles, which could only write Chinese characters, are not puppets of an intelligent entity at all, but rather a special, independent intelligent entity—something entirely unknown to us.

Yang Zeng looked toward the carriage convoy of Qishan County. Luo Xiong and the other men of Qishan County were all gazing at him. Presumably, if Yang Zeng were to utter a single word telling them to lay down their weapons, the young warriors of Qishan County would surely obey! Yet, until Yang Zeng appeared, they would rather die than do such a thing.

In an instant, the coalition of humans and demons collided fiercely with the Zerg army, interweaving into a chaotic melee. The human-demon side excelled in refined techniques, while the Zerg triumphed in sheer numbers, plunging the world into a darkened slaughter for a time.

Resources within the vessel were limited, so efforts had to be concentrated on prioritizing safe information. Deng's kinsmen in that anomalous star system would not undergo any new changes immediately, and besides, the new ship's trajectory had been exposed—safety was paramount.

Gu Xiaoxiao decided to hold off on saying anything for the moment; after all, she was currently driving. It would be better to wait until they reached home and were safe before discussing the rest.

As the scout's words fell, they struck the two men's heads like a sudden clap of thunder.

"Good, good, good." Seventh Master Wei smiled as he approached Xu Wei, a tremendously powerful aura of spiritual energy beginning to emanate from his body.

Those imperial censors and officials who had previously sworn allegiance to the Five Great Clans and Seven Prominent Families and enjoyed boundless glory were now reduced to the bitter chore of mining salt.

Yan Hongcheng, who sat beside her, did not look at her. Lotus instead began to wonder if she was overthinking things, or if her elder sister was overthinking things, and that he had never intended to do anything to her at all.

Jin Zheng instantly grew vigilant, mentally hacking the wolf cub who dared to come knocking at a time like this into a million pieces.

Xu Wei took the clothes and, without any hesitation or modesty, directly stripped off his pajamas, revealing his sturdy and well-built upper body.
