Chapter 142 Restoring Power

Although he had already sensed and guessed some of it, Lin Qingyun spelling it out directly—especially his remark that it would have a profound impact on his future—still gave Zhang Chao quite a start.

One had to bear in mind that he had already recovered to the realm of a Radiant Sun expert.

Ordinary fierce beasts, whether domestic pets or wild creatures, would inevitably feel a sense of dread upon sensing the coercion of a powerhouse like himself.

Yet in the eyes of this Star Sovereign, he was viewed with not the slightest bit of difference compared to before; Zhang Chao could vividly feel that casual, unbothered demeanor.

Ye Chenchen broke out in a cold sweat of relief, thanking his lucky stars that the Netherworld Contract bearing his name had turned out to be a fake. Otherwise, he would have ended up signing a binding agreement with the underworld and working for them as an unpaid ghost laborer for all eternity.

Once Cao Yin departed, the Emperor tapped on the desk, tapped on the legs of his chair, and tapped on the floorboards, yet not a single sound echoed back from his surroundings.

Wang Feng was drenched in cold sweat, catching the subtext in Qin Tian’s words. It was both a reference to his previous collusion with the Scorpion to ambush him, and a stern warning not to try any clever tricks.

It was said that at many investment institutions, whether IDG or Sequoia Capital, as soon as their risk control assessors heard that your boss had shared a meal with Lord Gu, they would instantly skyrocket the valuation of your internet ticketing platform company by a massive margin.

The tundra wolf lay flat on his back, taking a deep breath. The ground beneath him was wet and freezing cold, but he paid it no heed, tilting his head back to gaze at the starlit sky stretching across the firmament after the rain.

Tina was seen off by him in the end; she had to leave anyway. Remaining here would not only be of no help, but would also introduce unnecessary danger. Though a lingering reluctance tugged at his heart, this was undeniably the best choice.

"Let's leave first, and I will tell you once we find a place." Fearing that this commotion might attract unwanted trouble, Ning Hong pulled Mansali away. Sure enough, shortly after their departure, several Pagoda Realm experts arrived, with the leader among them having already reached the third tier of the Pagoda Realm.

Furthermore, the Medicine King Sect was the preeminent martial arts sect, possessing a profound heritage, not to mention that no one knew the true extent of their background. How could it be something you could simply declare to annihilate just because you wished it?

He was well aware that five years ago, the Misty Mountain villa district was already a notoriously wealthy neighborhood in Rongcheng. Those who resided within it were either immensely rich or powerfully noble; not a single one of them was a simple character.

Nor could they be blamed for letting down their guard. This was, after all, the first time an online travel agency had ever attempted such a venture. How could they possibly have anticipated how much hidden scheming, how many risks, and how many acts of disobedient self-will might fester among the middle and lower ranks of their personnel?

Fortunately, the merfolk harbored no ambitions of conquering the realm or ruling the world, and their numbers were truly too scarce to be compared in the slightest with humanity, whose populations numbered in the hundreds of millions or billions.

Bai Hua glanced sideways at Bai Shi, then turned his gaze toward Kong Xu. At that moment, Kong Xu was also facing the direction where the two of them stood. Perhaps displeased by Bai Shi's worthless and spineless demeanor, Kong Xu clearly did not wear a pleasant expression.

At the pinnacle of the Celestial-Human realm, under immense pressure, Taiyi the Golden Crow actually erupted with even greater potential, shattering his bottleneck and advancing into the peak of the Celestial-Human realm.

Had it not been for the arrangement made by the Progenitor of Formations, even with the unique properties of the Heavenly Unicorn Pill, it would have been entirely impossible for a single medicinal pill to gain sentience and transform into a living being.

Hu Hansan let out a sneer and violently ripped apart Ruobing's garments. Gazing upon the spirited and alluring beauty, Hu Hansan felt his throat instantly go dry with burning thirst.

"I managed to dig up some clues." Chu慕寒 stood on ceremony, stepping through the threshold and seating himself familiarly as if it were his own home, casually pouring himself a cup of tea.

"And that's merely on the surface. If the Zhu family intends to supplant the Song family, they are bound to make a move against them. Since you are walking so closely with the Song family, you will inevitably become a target for annihilation by both the Zhu family and the Duanmu clan," Mo Qingcheng said with a wry smile.

Liu Quan desperately wished to speak against his conscience and claim that he was just about to break through on his own accord, yet doing so left him feeling utterly despicable and shameless.

The Empress's expression remained unchanged, though a hint of unease crept into her brow and eyes. She had already assisted Yun Jinglan once before; if she were to step in and save her again this time, the Emperor would undoubtedly be the first to suspect ulterior motives. She could only wait anxiously on the sidelines, her hatred for Consular Concubine Sun growing ever more profound.
