Volume 1, Chapter 39: She Is in Danger

The company's transformation is proceeding at a steady pace, and the most difficult problems are being resolved one by one. There is still no word from Gu Qin-zhi; no matter how hard I try, I cannot find any information about him. Whenever Gu Chang-shan sees me, he looks at me as if I were his father's murderer. His eyes turn red at the sight of me, and he never lets an opportunity to belittle me pass by.

The first round of the battle ended in our favor, which infuriated Zheng Yi-fei. He and his subordinates began shouting insults.

Li You-meng is a doctor; blood is the thing she sees most often every day, yet now it is the thing she fears most.

This conclusion struck me like a thunderbolt, and in an instant, everything became clear. It was precisely because he had always been good to me, and because his conditions were clearly superior to those of an ordinary person, that I had convinced myself I had feelings for him. But in reality, that was not the case; I had been deceiving myself.

He was quite curious about how two people as stubborn as us had ended up together, and who had made the first move.

After learning this technique, Brother Feng taught me how to break free if an enemy grabs my neck from behind. He had me hold him in a chokehold while he demonstrated and explained the move.

The coachmen responsible for the horses and the gifts rested at the post station outside the Xiyun County government office. The horses, along with the Emperor's luggage and gifts, were well secured within the station. Magistrate Zhang had arranged the housing there perfectly, not daring to allow the slightest error.

While slaying the Thunder Dragon, Di Tian was also contemplating how to deal with the upcoming Emperor Tribulation. He was not entirely confident he could survive it, and if the five great experts were to intrude, his chances would be even slimmer.

Shi Jing-tang reported his plan to the Khitan Emperor, Yelu Deguang. The Khitan Emperor ordered his own troops to follow behind Shi Jing-tang’s forces under the guise of supporting the "puppet emperor," and together they infiltrated Linzhou City. They intended to raze the city—a dream they had harbored for nearly a century.

For the past week, my daily task at work had been accompanying him as he tinkered with that broken semiconductor. My friend fully embodied the tireless spirit of inquiry of an engineering student. "Can't tune in a station, and it's full of static and noise, is it?"

But why did his cousin want to kill him? Perhaps only by seeing Rong Chen in person could this mystery be solved.

"Where is Third Uncle working now?" Fei Jing-yue asked with a smile, causing the cold sweat that had broken out on her to recede.

He is Feng Xing-lang's Achilles' heel. Only when Feng Li-xin is safe can Feng Xing-lang fully commit to his battle against He Tun.

This mountain is named Zhaoxian Mountain. It was originally a place for recruiting the talented and virtuous in ancient times, possessing an aura of righteous energy. Later, it was discovered by Luo Yan, who incorporated it into his Heaven-Net Banner, making it a sacred mountain that suppresses malevolence.

Huang Hua spoke word by word, his gaze fixed on his feet throughout, not daring to look his stern master in the eye.

Yang San was startled, but upon closer inspection, he saw it was Xuan Ye sitting on the stool, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

However, in the current martial arts world, and even in the world of cultivation, everything remains largely fragmented and disorganized.

Yan Ping-chuan gasped; he had finally asked the right question. Zhou Xuan’s fluent answers could be understood as having done his homework and prepared in advance. However, as the scope of his knowledge widened, it was inevitable that he would show flaws.

Driven by some unknown psychological impulse, Xue Luo calmly ate that piece of Dongpo pork under the watchful gaze of Lan You-you.

Yin Guang had followed Qi Xiu-li for a long time and understood the relationship between them well enough. He calmed down and no longer insisted on leaving.

The moment Wang Huai arrived at the bamboo forest, all the Emerald Heart Bamboos trembled slightly, emitting a rustling sound.

"No problem," Wang Huai replied without hesitation, then opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

The Seventh Elder shot a look of approval at the Ninth Elder, knowing there was no longer any need to worry about that girl being snatched away by someone else.

Just as the earth-stone wall formed, the tornado created by Inuzuka Tsume shattered the air and slammed into the water tower wall with fierce intensity.

Just as Mifune’s gaze flickered, a scorching blast of energy suddenly shot toward him, forcing him to snap back to reality. He swung his long sword to deflect it, and at the same time, Shisui’s faint laughter reached his ears.

Du Yan-hang nodded. The sound of Ling Chen’s voice helped settle the panic he had felt from being unable to locate his opponent.

He had never sat here in his human form before, and now that he was able to, it felt like a pleasant change.

After a light rain, thin, tender grass sprouted from the ground beneath the window, which had been barren all winter. The vibrant green color was enough to gladden anyone's heart. Farmers who understood the weather said that, by the looks of it, it was unlikely that Beijing would see any more snow.

"This is so delicious! Mom, your Kung Pao Chicken is always so tasty," I said, not forgetting to flatter my mother while eating.

"Is that all you've got? Weren't you very strong just a moment ago?" The Dark Priest looked at Luo Yi, his expression full of the posture of a victor.

"Please call me Yu Wu-ming. You are too kind, Master Victor. Please, lead the way." Following Victor to the backyard, Yu Wu-ming saw a row of waist-high magical wooden posts standing in a corner, where a dozen teenagers in magical apprentice robes were practicing spells against them.

"Fine. Go back and tell General Yuan Tan that as long as he is willing to cede Qi Commandery and Ye Commandery, and compensate for my losses in Yanzhou, peace talks can be arranged!" Cao Cao nodded at Guo Ming, the envoy for Yuan Tan.

"Is it to defy the heavens and attain the Dao, or to follow the heavens and align with the Dao?" When the Chan monk uttered these words, a giant eye appeared above the thirty-three heavens.

Two semi-immortals—who is right and who is wrong, and what they are fighting for—besides the individuals themselves, who can say for sure?

It was fine not to discuss it, but once they did, it was shocking. If they really breached Jingzhou, Yuan Yao's front line would be stretched far too thin. Except for Ma Teng and Han Sui in Xiliang and Xilong, almost all the warlords were directly bordering Yuan Yao. After all, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou were no easy prey.

The Extreme Flame Bird, possessing the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, is powerful, but it also carries a great temptation. If one can successfully kill it, they can obtain the Vermilion Bird Beast Soul Stone. Although it is not the genuine article, it is still worth a fortune.

As the saying goes, bad things come in threes, but Sima Tian-di’s bizarre performance today played out three full acts. While it left the audience extremely disappointed, it naturally sent his battlefield situation plummeting to rock bottom.
