Chapter 108: Devastating Blow

The Imperial Capital, Long Family Manor.

In the central square, three factions stood in tense confrontation, the atmosphere stretched to its breaking point!

Tens of thousands of martial artists had gathered in this plaza, yet it was deathly silent—one could hear a pin drop.

“Elder Xiu, I won’t be unreasonable. From now on, the Jiang family and my Li family will immediately leave the Long family’s territory and promise not to engage in any conflict with them for half a year...”

Zhang Cheng unwillingly rose to his feet, not even noticing where the glove had gone.

“Manager Guo, even if it kills me, I want to be clear about this!” Wu Cheng’s face darkened. Anyone subjected to such a barrage of insults would lose their temper.

On the fourth day, she gritted her teeth and appeared again beneath the Fu Group’s building. Unexpectedly, before she could enter, she saw someone familiar.

Her eyes were still red, and her nose seemed tinged with a faint blush; the dim light made it hard for him to see clearly.

Above the sea, countless sea beasts began to wildly surge toward the distant horizon, including the lower-ranked ones.

An Lushan could not help but rejoice, setting aside his imperial airs as the Emperor of Great Yan. He clapped repeatedly in praise and apologized for his earlier slip of the tongue, exchanging polite words.

“Is it really necessary to go?” Yuan Tao was conflicted; he had already promised Zhao Qingqing he would accompany her to the dance that evening.

The others happily joined in the applause. While outsiders might not know, the Four Great Immortal Palaces were well aware of how troublesome the Abandoned Heaven Alliance was—and that Bai Tian and Dongfang Mingyue had actually subdued the remnants of the alliance.

Ye Haoyue slowly lifted his head. The moment he did, his eyes flashed like lightning, radiating a terrifying murderous intent as they locked onto Fang Yi.

“The news that the Butcher family escorted the Huang clan out of the city was handed to us by him. If he hadn’t been in Xi’an, how could he have delivered the intelligence so quickly?” Huineng explained.

Those obsidian-like eyes gradually revealed their true nature as the darkness dissipated. He blinked once, then again. When the man raised his gaze toward Orien, those eyes now resembled roses, glowing a vivid red.

“Are you trying to quit this business? Do you even know who I am?” Wu Chenglin roared angrily.

I was a bit puzzled why Li Yi was staying by my side instead of going back. His ridiculously large Simmons mattress wouldn’t let him roll off, no matter how many times he turned.

At this moment, Chu Jingqi folded his hands and suddenly turned his head, spitting a mouthful of fresh blood onto the ground with a loud splatter.

Thanks to August’s steady demeanor and strength far surpassing others, their captain’s manner wasn’t forceful but quietly compelling—his charisma won everyone’s loyalty without resistance.

This point system was like the ranking system in Go; even if you were blessed with the spirit of Honinbo from the start and unbeatable, you still had to play round after round. At least a year or more was needed to reach a high rank.

Sang Han used a pseudonym, sharing her mother’s surname, He Moyan, which seemed to echo the complaints of a certain general’s wife. Since Zong Ming had visited yesterday and had a pleasant chat with the office director, the center’s top corrective specialist personally received them and thoroughly explained the school’s philosophy and regular curriculum.

“But if you have a pilot’s license, wouldn’t you find a higher-paying job?” Lewis asked.

“Nian Nian, what are you thinking about?” Meng Fanlang asked with concern upon seeing He Niannian distracted.

Then he suddenly laughed, “Julian, you like sweets, huh?” His tone was mischievously teasing.

The people of the southern provincial city erupted in joy. Starting tomorrow, their chances of buying quantum apple drinks would greatly increase.

“Bid 3,100 premium spirit stones for lot number 180!” Who was this rustic fool placing such a high bid while sitting calmly in the hall?
