Chapter 45: Sudden Artillery Fire in the Night!

By this time, the evening rush hour had already passed, so there were not many vehicles on the road. Xia Jian listened to music while driving with full concentration, following the navigation directions all the way forward.

Time ticked away, and no news came for a long time. Meng Qianfan's heart grew even more anxious. Could the martial arts world have seen through his scheme?

Yet, if he acted this way, what would the people of Xiping Village think of him? Would he still be able to return to Xiping Village? Besides, no matter how worthless Wang Youcai was, he was still a villager of Xiping Village, whereas Hu Huiru? She had nothing to do with Xiping Village whatsoever.

For a moment, Wen Xin's heart fell silent, his mind entirely blank, as if time itself had stopped at this very instant.

Wen Xin had broken through two consecutive ranks within the Purple Star Secret Realm. At that time, he had only slightly consolidated and improved his strength, but now, Wen Xin was tempering his own saber technique.

Looking at Du Jingyi, she flicked her sleeves and let out a crisp cry: "Netherworld Fire of the Nine Yous!" Instantly, a pillar of black fire appeared in the void. Earlier, Yan Ziliu had suffered greatly at the hands of this Netherworld Fire, which was undoubtedly Du Jingyi's ultimate trump card.

Just as Brother Hai was about to speak, Sister Wang, sitting in the middle of the table, suddenly chuckled and said, "We are here to play cards, and we have no mind to listen to your nonsense. Eastern Three Districts! Are we starting or not?" The tone of Sister Wang's final sentence was remarkably high, carrying an indescribable sense of intimidation.

Although there were Great Profound Sovereigns even stronger than Profound Sovereigns, one must remember that the peak of the Profound Sovereign realm was still an elevation utterly out of reach for ordinary people.

Dogs are creatures possessing both spiritual intelligence and human-like emotional depth. If human beings want to eat meat, there are so many choices like pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, and fish, why must they consume such spiritually attuned dogs?

However, ever since slaying the Mighty Vajra Bear, the five of them had walked through the wilderness for half a month without encountering a single beast above the fifth rank of the Divine Emperor realm. Although they were merely traveling on foot, all five were Divine Emperors, so their traveling pace certainly could not be measured by that of mortals. Yet, after walking for half a month without seeing a single high-tier Divine Emperor beast, it felt rather peculiar.

"Sir, please go to the balcony if you wish to smoke," the servant said politely. As it turned out, Chu Bingxuan did not smoke; for Dudu's health, he never allowed anyone to smoke inside the house. Anyone wishing to smoke had to go out to the balcony.

Just at that moment, a pleasant ringing sound chimed. Who on earth could be calling him at a time like this? Fortunately, he had already finished his business. Rummaging through his messy clothes to find his phone, he discovered it was the landline from Gao Lan's home. Could something have happened? Li Hao hurriedly answered the call.

Monster cores could be used to refine elixirs, enhance cultivation realms, and increase the power of magical treasures.

Lin Hanxi knew the voice of the newcomer all too well; it had to be Leng Wuchen. Because of his timely arrival, he had saved her and her child's life. Shouldn't she feel grateful to him?

With that, Yao Lin and Director Chen both left the conference room, leaving a crowd of reporters staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Hey, Wu Sheng, call Zhang Meng. We have important matters to discuss. Wait for me at the Sun Bar," Li Hao said very directly as he reached out to hail a taxi.

Wang Ting asked once more if anyone else wished to challenge, and everyone looked toward Guo Feiyuan. Bai Mu looked at him too, because he had been recommended by the former alliance leader, and everyone held high hopes for him. Guo Feiyuan slowly stood up and leaped onto the arena stage.

Nitpicking is always possible. If you admit fault, it is because you could no longer conceal it; if you pay compensation, it is because we forced your hand; if you undergo rectification, it is because the government demanded it. No matter which way, you are in the wrong.

Noticing that Qi Dongqiang's face was flushed with the glow of peach blossoms and brimming with joy, Yang Lefan guessed that the mayor's summons was likely nothing bad, so he happily trotted along behind him.

"My lady, you are awake. Is there anything you would like to eat? I will have the kitchen prepare it." Lvxiu had been left behind by Lvyun to watch over Lü Xiang'er, just in case she woke up and needed something while they were away.

Even so, where was Prince Mu going to find so much ready cash to repay the Yun family? It was merely a polite formality, and Chuxiu believed it could not be taken literally. Naturally, she hoped Prince Mu could repay the debt, but she also knew that if Prince Mu truly became the sovereign of the nation or even unified the northern and southern realms, this money would likely be gone for good.

Qin Feng smiled with considerable pride. This good habit had been passed down from his grandfather. Qin Mingyue despised lazy people the most; he was self-disciplined, cleaned his living quarters every day, washed his clothes himself, and if not spotless, at least kept things neat and tidy.

When He Dacheng saw Chen Zhining, he bounded out with a loud thud and began cursing wildly, accusing Chen Zhining of all sorts of misdeeds. How could Chen Zhining possibly have the patience to stand there and wait for him to finish his rant? The moment He Dacheng barely started, Chen Zhining casually threw a punch and blasted him backward.

"What do you have to fear? You are the mistress of the General's Mansion; why mind the others?" Before Lü Xiang'er could finish speaking, Huo Qingsong strode into the hall.

As for spiritual food, because it was consumed daily and in massive quantities as a supplement, it represented a subtle yet extremely solid accumulation.

"Who gave you permission to enter without summons?" Dan Xin held a stack of ancient books, blocking most of her face, leaving only a pair of sparkling eyes glaring at Cha Cha, looking thoroughly displeased.

Ji Xiao had no time to speak to her; she pushed open the car door and rushed over to a nearby trash can to vomit.

"Qingqing is so lively. If she were kept cooped up in the room for two or three days, she would surely go stir-crazy." Thinking of how Huo Qingqing had behaved since they met, Lü Xiang'er found it hard to believe the girl would obediently stay indoors.

The mammoth let out a long breath through its trunk, shattering the tranquility of the Frost-bound City of Illusions. Behind them, the sigh of Mentor Hanshuang could be vaguely heard, seemingly muttering that this unfilial disciple of hers hadn't even gone to pay his respects or kowtow to him.

Jiang Yingying also walked away without looking back, wiping her eyes fiercely as she went. Reaching my side, she cast a cold glance at me.

He subsequently inquired about the destination of that soul that had fallen into darkness, because before his death, Eol had claimed he no longer had the qualification to be summoned by the West.

Archery is an entirely unbiased sport, and also the one that best reveals an athlete's state of mind. If the heartstrings deviate by even a fraction of a hair, the bowstring in hand can miss the target by a thousand miles.

Anqi, who remained invisible, helped Lin柯 up. Only then did everyone notice the air-like Anqi. Meijiao comforted her, saying, "Don't be afraid, Anqi. I think once this fiend is dead, your curse will be lifted and you'll be able to be like a normal person, right?" She then turned an inquiring gaze toward Xue'er.
