Chapter 43: Vying for Favor, Shen Zhuoran's First Victory

"I never said that the final Myriad Dao Sacred Soul was within your body!" the Ancestor of Myriad Dao said calmly.

This truly was searching for iron shoes without having to look far, obtaining it with effortless ease. Never had he expected that through such a bizarre twist of fate, he would finally meet this Mr. Luanwu.

"It seems you have truly grown capable, no longer looking like you did those few days ago," that voice cold-snorted, saying with disdain.

After retiring into seclusion, he avoided the great battle where the demonic path attacked the Demon-Catching Bureau, and thus managed to survive.

Though the village lacked meat, it had wine—a grain liquor brewed by the villagers themselves. Not caring about anything else, Du Feng picked up an entire jar and began to drink. Initially, he had felt somewhat hesitant, but upon realizing that nobody even knew if they would survive the night, he decided to eat and drink his fill first.

Since Xie Quzhen was unwilling, the only remaining hope at this point was to save Xiang Zhu through hospital medical treatment.

However, before they could reach Qin Hai, his figure vanished from right in front of them. Immediately following this, two of the thugs were suddenly jerked by a tremendous force, colliding directly into one another. With a loud thud, their heads crashed heavily together, and almost simultaneously, they collapsed limply to the ground.

On the contrary, because the volume of mechanical training was increased, the tedious and arduous nature of it was even greater.

That afternoon, Chu Wangshu had been somewhat tempted upon seeing the high-caliber sniper rifle. Therefore, after learning how to assemble and maintain it, he wanted to test-fire it. Who could have known that he would misjudge the recoil of such a large-caliber sniper rifle, triggering his lung injury and consequently setting off a violent fit of coughing.

Tony had actually visited the Bridge Kingdom twice before, but whether it was because William had given him a detailed explanation and warning before this trip, creating a preconceived notion, now looking at these laborers again, he indeed discovered many different things.

Yet when the youth revealed his true appearance, and people beheld those handsome features with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, all previous doubts vanished, replaced even by a sense of guilt.

Many among the onlookers let out derisive sneers of disdain, clearly showing their contempt for Qin Ming's words.

When he returned home and Crysta learned that her son had actually gone off alone to spend an extended period in close contact with the notoriously fierce Samnites, she was terribly startled.

A Great Sage of the Human Race! Everyone was utterly shocked upon hearing this. It was not as if sages had never been born among humankind; the birth of each sage typically led their tribe toward greater prosperity. Now that a Great Sage had descended upon their Fengyan Tribe, they were naturally overjoyed.

He had Hongying bring Shen Xing into Chinese territory. They should be quite safe now, and he did not harbor too many worries.

The lion demon actually held quite a bit of respect for this prison mate of his, being able to fight against his inner demons for a full thirty years was already remarkable. The agony during this period made even an ancient, bloodthirsty, and cruel grand demon like himself shudder with fright. If it were himself, he wouldn't dare be certain how long he could hold out—one year, or two?

"I will go to Thurii first, consult your opinions, and then proceed to Velia," Crysopus replied.

Life-Taker was instantly terrified. However, before he could even turn his head to make out that face, a blinding white light condensing an incomparably violent aura had already arrived first.

"Do not use the word 'Princess Consort' either. Matters are not yet entirely settled; we must not become too complacent!" Crysta reminded her once more.

"Brother Yu, today is the Kitchen God Festival. We bought quite a few things. Look at this painting of the Kitchen God. We'll go paste it right beside the kitchen gas stove and set out some offerings," Ye Shuixian proudly displayed a painting.

Although he had not appeared from beginning to end, within the heavenly secrets, he could already sense his destined fate brightly exposed. Several divination masters had already perceived this fate, locked onto his identity, and even attempted to intercept a wisp of his aura to pinpoint his exact location.

"The Grand Preceptor of Peace, it is Brother Zhang Ming!" Zhang Niujiao, half of his body covered in injuries, said respectfully to Zhang Jiao inside the war chariot.

When everything was finished, Liu Ming returned to his palace with the Demon God Kunpeng and began to peacefully recover his consumed magical power.

The cavalry could no longer charge, so they simply dismounted to serve as infantry. Though incomparable to the foot soldiers of the imperial court, the defensive equipment they carried was a bizarre and motley assortment, with barely a few formal shields among them.

Wang Mu hoped that through this construction and forging, some worker or blacksmith utility NPC could advance to the Black-Iron rank.

The heart like a spring creek, the emotions like a solitary boat. The heart like ice and clear water, unfazed even if the heavens collapse; calm amidst all changes, with spirit relaxed and mind at peace.

The doors of the Purple Qi Palace swung open abruptly, accompanied by Hongjun's voice, which was so detached it carried almost no emotion whatsoever.

Before any cargo was transmitted through the teleportation array, the diplomatic mission's mandate had to be transmitted across from this side first. Only then would the goods be sent over from the other side, preventing other factions from seizing control of the teleportation array to swindle supplies. What they needed to do this time was to use the mission's mandate directly to teleport the people back.

Linyi felt no particular emotion toward these skeptical gazes. He nodded slightly at the people as a greeting, walked straight to the main seat, and after sitting down, made a single-handed gesture signaling everyone else to take their seats as well.

In later generations, this would be nothing more than an ordinary sundry shop, but at this present time, it was the largest wholesale hub for cassette tapes and sales center for tape recorders in the entire Yunze region.
