Chapter 150: The Siege of the Mercenary Guild

With an order from Popov Andrey, Victor, whose eyes were already bloodshot and who had been driven nearly frantic with anxiety recently, took the lead and charged directly into battle.

Although the Mercenary Guild possessed vast grounds, deploying large-scale assaults remained extremely difficult. Only slightly more than a thousand soldiers could coordinate a simultaneous siege, while dozens of experts in the Cloud-Soaring Realm joined forces, relentlessly attempting to breach the defense.

"Boom... rumble..."

"They are attacking! They are actually attacking..."

During the final engagement, an infuriated Nurchi, struck by some inexplicable affliction, managed to shoot Qi Qianwan in the shoulder.

The Primordial Devouring Mist raged wildly, effortlessly slaughtering vast swarms of Spirit-Devouring Insects, a result that left everyone thoroughly satisfied. Yet at that very moment, a series of forceful and urgent sounds echoed through the air, followed by shadowy figures soaring straight into the heavens. Seemingly unaffected by the thick fog, they charged directly toward the Cloud-Swallowing Toad.

"That is precisely why I had you undergo trials in the Cangcang Mountains," Nan Changqing gazed gently at Qingyue and said.

Lindi spoke casually, projecting a carefree attitude as if nothing mattered in the world, yet he left one final sentence unsaid.

"To be entirely honest with you, Second Young Mistress was abruptly brought back to the estate by the Young Master. We have interacted with her for less than a year, so we are not very clear about many matters concerning her," an elderly man explained.

As the words fell from Tai Youqian, Zhou Shan, who had accompanied Wang Hao onto the sacrificial altar, wore a solemn expression as he ignited the firewood inside a prepared ritual brazier.

In the end, Young Master Zhang, brimming with pride and ambition, reached his hands into the construction industry of the Yunze region, with Shanhai Construction Company at Guanyun Mountain being the primary target.

Lighting the divine incense, Zhang Zhiping performed the three-kneeling and nine-prostrating ritual with a devout expression, detailing his experiences over the years one by one. He carried a trace of pride, much like a child showing off achievements to his parents—after all, what could possibly bring parents more satisfaction than a successful and accomplished child?

Naturally, for the Artorius, the energy consumed by a single Delarker cannon blast was merely a drop in the bucket for the warship itself. The only limitation was that the Delarker cannon required a cooling period and could not be fired for the next dozen seconds or so.

The already volatile Netherbeast had been forced to maintain a rigid posture while waiting in place for a full half-hour! For a Netherbeast, such an occurrence was unprecedented.

General Pu had not consulted Qi Chu beforehand, so what should they be done now? Would it be inappropriate to rashly interrupt the Master's cultivation?

At the very instant the Thunder-Lion Beast was momentarily distracted, Wei Chen's arms, which had been蓄势待发 for quite some time, smashed down fiercely once again. At that moment, a colossal phantom of a thunder dragon materialized behind Wei Chen, and the purple lightning enveloping the Thunder-Lion Beast was instantly annihilated in the wake of Wei Chen's devastating strike.

Li Yiqi felt a surge of foreboding. At a time when the main army was utterly exhausted, the Japanese pirates chose precisely this moment to attack. It was evident this had been premeditated; otherwise, how could they have vanished without a trace for three whole days? He immediately issued orders to confirm the number of pirate vessels while simultaneously commanding the entire army to board the ships at once in preparation for battle.

"You're overthinking it. It's just a City Championship title; it's hardly mainstream fame, but I must admit Wuyan's reputation is indeed much greater than those of the champions from previous editions. Right now, both the Master of League app and Tieba are filled with news and posts about him, and the comment sections are very active..." Luo Xin said.

"Director, you're still young, so it's normal not to believe in these things. But seriously, sometimes events in this world simply cannot be explained entirely by science. It's better to believe they exist than to doubt them," Uncle Depp, rich in life experience, advised Sid earnestly.

Subsequently, the "Lifetime Achievement Award" for this year was bestowed upon Hollywood veteran Robert Redford.

In the end, the Human Emperor handed the matter over to the Grand Imperial Clan Court for investigation and processing, demanding that they spare no effort in rooting out the insider and true culprit who had stolen the Earth-Origin Pill and wreaked havoc within the imperial palace.
