Chapter 120: The Arch-Nemesis of the Fire-Maker

Through his calculations, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun first sought out the three great archenemies of the Youchao Clan in the Primordial World, choosing one to take as a disciple and imparting a portion of the Great Dao of Strength.

Of course, the archenemies found by Dao Ancestor Hongjun were merely a fraction of the obstacles on the path of an Emperor’s enlightenment; they could not possibly be all of them. As the saying goes, the success of a general is built upon a mountain of bones. How could the enlightenment of an Emperor be a simple matter? How could one truly achieve it merely by making a few inventions and defeating a few powerful foes with the help of others?

At noon, the local thug Wu San would come to collect the money begged throughout the morning. One dare not think of hiding any; he kept a constant, watchful eye on their every move, and he knew exactly how much money they had down to the last cent.

After drinking a few cups in succession, Lin Feng finally set down the empty teacup with satisfaction and let out a comfortable sigh. Having run all the way back without seeing a drop of water, he finally felt at ease.

"Do these herbs not need to be decocted?" Fu Yan walked into the bathroom and, following Meng Lu's instructions, opened the cabinet to find quite a few medicinal herbs, many of which he could not even name.

Suddenly, Lin Ying gave a muffled groan, feeling a tightness in his chest as a mouthful of blood surged up. He then collapsed onto the ground, eyes closing slightly, his breaths coming in ragged gasps as a wave of weakness washed over him. Lin Zhonglin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Who is Mr. Fang calling?" Although the question was somewhat impolite, Liu Jianguo could not afford to care about that now. If he did not have someone powerful on his side, once the investigation against him officially commenced, there would be no way to turn the tide.

Lin Feng did not yet know that he had truly been targeted by the Americans. However, while he was at the Lin family residence in Yanjing, his elders had already warned him about this, though unfortunately, this fellow was not the least bit worried.

In truth, there was something else Liu Jianguo left unsaid. Because it concerned his own son, it was difficult to voice: Liu Bin had originally intended to seize both the person and the assets, so no matter how magnanimous the other party was, it was impossible for them not to retaliate. If he were in their position, he would have done the same.

Qiao Tian and his colleagues acted as if they had not heard the conversation behind them. With grim expressions and deaf ears, they meticulously carried out their security duties.

Lin Yu was terrified that this might be a rumor, or perhaps a dream, fearing that in the next second it would prove untrue.

Lin Tian paused his steps and coldly glanced back at the oblivious Han Zhong and the mastermind Liu Pinggui. A flash of cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes as a frigid killing intent erupted from his body. Just as people thought he was about to turn back and kill, Lin Tian merely swept a faint glance over them and strode away without a word.

She knew Mo Tizhun’s capabilities. If the rumors were true, Yu Huanzhen was also a rare talent of the age; it was a pity that King Xi was a muddle-headed ruler who did not know how to utilize such people.

"Then who do you want to marry!" Xiao Yan pressed his temples, exhausted by the day’s string of bad news. "Your An'an?" It was rare for Yun Nu to honestly follow the Wei state delegation back from New Xia this time, allowing him and Xu Guangxiang to spend some time together. Even so, they failed to spark any connection, and Xiao Yan knew there was basically no hope.

He himself had other purposes. Before undertaking that task, he had to find a safe place for them, one where they could cultivate without any worries.

Under these circumstances, rescuing Mussolini became the most pressing task for the current German government. However, there were immense problems with such a rescue, the greatest being that the German military had no idea where Mussolini was currently held.

Shengtang Entertainment was not among the most powerful agencies to begin with, suppressed as it was by larger corporations. With such a scandal erupting, the company's stock plummeted. If it continued to fall, the company would likely face bankruptcy.

Now, without the harassment of the Blood Ducks, the regular human army was naturally unstoppable against the scattered remnants of the Demon race, and their morale soared.
