Volume 1, Chapter 62: There's No Living Like This!

"Do you have any evidence regarding the prison authorities collecting the body?" Luffy interjected at this moment.

"I will make a call to Brother Xiao and ask about the situation over there," Wang Chuang said, pulling out his phone and dialing Xiao Yonggan.

Director Chen shivered. He had received instructions from above warning him that if anything happened to this person under their watch, Young Master Li had made it clear that they should weigh whether they were capable of withstanding the retaliation of him and the Li family.

However, Liu Wei no longer cared. Since the legend had progressed this far, whatever the ultimate outcome might be, Liu Wei would simply face it head-on.

By now, Muyuan had fully comprehended the Sword World profound truth and the Sword Clone profound truth within the Martial Dao Sword Laws.

Entering the capital meant that "Weixin Cyber Cafe" had reached top-tier status in China, both in terms of assets and influence. If it failed to enter, the cyber cafe would always remain a notch below.

"Brother Yan also finds this somewhat eerie, doesn't he?" Ye Mo was similarly observing the arrangement, using his spiritual sense to perceive how this place differed from the others.

However, Zhang Jinshuan understood very well that in matters concerning personal safety, one could never be too cautious. Along the way, she had pondered a great deal. Aside from investigating who wanted to harm her, she also carefully considered how to arrange her future security details.

"What did you just call me?" Athena's expression changed abruptly. The word "old" directly touched upon her taboo, yet she never expected that as soon as Wu Zhi opened his mouth, it would feel like a vicious stab straight into her heart, instantly leaving her bleeding.

A conflict between the people of Mount Hua and the Sun Moon Holy Cult would only result in needless casualties while ultimately benefiting the Eastern Depot. Besides, Ye Mo was counting on Master Yue to clash with Gu Jinfu, the eunuch superintendent of the Eastern Depot, who happened to be a terrifyingly formidable master.

The second piece of good news was that all the materials needed to refine the Bigu Pill could be purchased in this market. Since the quantity was rather large, Lu Huang placed an order directly, paid the silver, provided the name of the inn where he was staying, set a time, and instructed the shop assistants to deliver the goods to his residence as agreed.

Yan Zhen suddenly thrust forward with his sword once more. This strike appeared to carry the origin of piercing sword intent, but in reality, it embodied the origin of penetrating sword intent. Fang Luoxia attempted to parry under the assumption that it was still the piercing sword intent, only to find that the penetrative power of the penetrating sword intent pierced right through her blade and struck her. A spray of blood burst from her left shoulder.

"Whoosh—" A wave of cyan brilliance surged from the holy herb in the muscular man's hand into the mark on Lin Yi's left hand. The holy herb instantly lost its vitality and withered away in his palm.

Right now, Lu Huang and the rat beast looked for all the world like two actors in the same film, trying to out-act each other with a fierce determination to eclipse their counterpart.

"Die." A demon cultivator roared as he drove his sword into the body of an immortal cultivator. The immortal cultivator merely smiled, completely disregarding the wound as he thrust his own sword back through his own body to slay the demon cultivator. The sheer ferocity of his actions left onlookers marveling at how chillingly ruthless he could be.

The pain nearly caused Situ Yun to pass out. She bit down hard on her collar to keep herself conscious as Tuoba Xue pulled the finest saber-wound medicine from her bosom, applied it to Situ Yun's wound, and performed a simple bandage treatment.

Upon returning to the tribe, Murong Detao initially felt sorrow for having accidentally stabbed his sister Murong Lan to death. However, that grief soon gave way to joy upon acquiring the Mandarin Duck Bronze Lock. Back at the tribe, he hosted a grand banquet for his clansmen to celebrate obtaining the treasure.

As soon as these words fell, the surrounding Dao patterns rippled, and the space seemed to transform into his personal domain, bearing down on Wang Chao to crush him. Wang Chao's expression shifted. He held a deep-seated pride, believing that after cultivating diligently for so long and receiving the inheritance of a supreme figure, he had never tasted defeat since embarking on the Dao.

"Indeed, and the only one in the vicinity capable of pulling off last night's deed is none other than him!" Li Chengsi explained.

To put on a thorough act, Lu Huang went so far as to use terms like "this old man" to fully project the image of a senior expert. The subtext was an acknowledgment that his true age was indeed not as youthful as his appearance suggested, leaving everyone else to fill in the blanks themselves.

Gu Ze was dispatched to the front entrance to greet guests, while Gu Chuanyan and Lady Yan were responsible for receiving guests in the main hall, keeping them frantically busy.

Upon reaching the drill ground and witnessing the scene before her, Wei Wan instantly felt that her decision had been the correct one.

Wei Zixu reacted swiftly, turning a passive situation into an active one. Far from being dragged off the bed by Xiao Han, she pulled him down with her, flipped over, and pinned him beneath her.

Yet thereafter, Ermagou seemed to have genuinely turned over a new leaf. He worked diligently and conscientiously to help Mother Liu, smiling at everyone he met, which finally convinced the villagers that he had truly reformed.

"Goodness me, does this continent actually run on stat-driven logic?" Liu He looked at Li Mu's five-dimensional attributes, where only command was rated as top-tier, feeling a mixture of self-satisfaction and disappointment.

Xia Jie pulled out his phone, intending to play some soothing music, only to discover that the battery had automatically shut down.

She furrowed her brow, her gaze lowering halfway to rest upon the slender, fair hands within her field of vision as her thoughts abruptly drifted.

He knew what Yue Yun was thinking, and every single cavalryman of the Great Han knew what Yue Yun was thinking.

Back then, it should have been her who took over the Xunmu Workshop. However, simply because her looks were inferior to Chunyu's, she was sent to manage the Duke of Zhenguo's estate shop instead.

Wei Zixu pushed open the office door, and the figure standing before the desk with his back to her gave her a start.

Ling Fanyue looked somewhat dumbfounded at the black lotus before her. She had not expected that the moment this black lotus emerged, no matter how she urged her Primordial Heavenly Flame or Water Core Flame, both divine flames seemed to have developed consciousness of their own and remained entirely unresponsive.

Daring not to slack off for a moment, he bowed deeply and babbled a long string of words, though Li Yadong and the others could not understand a single syllable.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare..." Li Yadong repeatedly apologized, wondering what era this was that had suddenly produced an imperial physician.

The greatest misfortune amid so much misfortune was that Lou Xijue had friends in the criminal investigation brigade—the truly ironclad kind—and Yi Mu frequently gathered with them for drinks.

The Grand Alliance was blanketed in surveillance. Xiang Qing led Yi Mu through the crisp air of early dawn toward the cornfields situated at the easternmost edge.

"But I promised Brother Zechen that I would give him a gift. I can't just back out of it now. Why don't you accompany me this weekend to pick something out? Consider it a joint gift from the two of us to Brother Zechen." Bai Leshang was completely at a loss as to what else she could give Han Zechen.

The referee remained entirely calm; having experienced plenty from the start of the match until now, he had grown accustomed to it.

"No need to thank me, I was merely stating the facts, hehehehehehehe." Kaler emitted a series of eccentric, uncle-like chuckles. No sacred unicorn disliked children; in fact, across all recorded sightings of sacred unicorns on the Titan Continent, children held the highest number of encounters with them.
