Chapter 38: Let us go inside the granary and take a look.

“Uncle Zhao, don’t panic. Take your time and tell me—what happened at the commune?” Lin Xing asked with a frown.

“There are rats in the commune’s granary!” Zhao Renyi said nervously.

At that, Lin Xing froze for a moment, then laughed helplessly. “Rats in the granary? Is that all? Why are you so anxious over something so minor? I thought something serious had happened...”

Qingda watched him coldly. If they fought to the death, his side would certainly be wiped out. For now, the only option was to report the matter to Du Yuesheng and let him decide what to do.

Recalling what Zhang Yang had said, it seemed that Zhang Yang had already seen through everything and intended to deal with Hidden Eagle himself. But because of the sword strike he had received from Zhang Yang, Hidden Eagle had been thoroughly enraged. That was why Zhang Yang was so furious.

Beneath the tattered red garment, glimpses of exquisite spring scenery appeared and vanished. Seeing this, Baili Cangming’s gaze darkened.

After saying that, the man began bombarding the stone monster with a relentless barrage of attacks. But at that very moment, the stone monster started moving and lunged rapidly toward Mu Wu.

At three in the afternoon, everyone from the Red Flag Army gathered together, eager to watch their leader, Chen Hao, lead his team in slaughtering the people of the Sacred Hall. After this battle, they would be eligible for the final tournament bracket.

Along the way, Liang Huahua told Su Momo about her present circumstances, where her family lived, how she had spent the past few years, and how she had chosen to come to this Talent Academy.

They passed the day in a state of extreme vigilance. That night, Li Zongliang arranged the watch, then took turns keeping guard with Wei Shuisheng and the others according to their old routine. Yet the night passed peacefully.

The rain never let up. Du Yuesheng and the others wrapped their weapons in the thin oilcloth from the sacks to keep them dry. Then the four of them quietly slipped to the western side of the Yan residence. Yuan Shanbao set up a machine gun on the ground and, dressed in a black rain cape, vanished completely into the darkness.

Mu Jiu flipped through the stack of papers. Sure enough, they contained records of the comings and goings of various Star Lords and the people from their residences. He quickly tucked them inside his robe and said, “We’ll talk after we get back!” Then he finished the cold jelly in two or three mouthfuls, placed two jade coins on the table, and left.

“Shuai, Jian Fan has arrived! Are you really going through with this? It’s not too late to change your mind.” Han Cong patted Jiang Shuai on the shoulder.

When she saw everyone’s eyes fall upon her, Ding Wan, who already knew what had happened, grew somewhat uneasy.

“You want to dance? But can your body endure it?” Mu Rong Shuo asked worriedly, his thoughts returning to the matter at hand.

“I know who you are. My name is Mu Rong Ling, and I’m Mu Rong Shuo’s younger sister. You can call me whatever you like. You’re all my brother’s teammates.” Mu Rong Ling nodded as she replied.

Ming Yue hitched up her clothes and tied them around her waist. She spat twice into her palms, rubbed her hands together, then summoned all her strength to carry the stepladder toward an inconspicuous patch of ground in the corner of the garden.

He had not even considered finding lodging for the injured man. The villagers were all afraid of trouble; it would be better to seek out Zhang Bairen.

When Young Master Ye saw this, he became anxious. Before his bottom had even touched the chair, he said, “The young master has something to discuss, so I’d better not intrude. Farewell.” With that, he turned and vanished in a flash.

“Jian Fan, let’s go. There’s no need to waste our breath on them.” He Ai pulled at Jian Fan. “Being angry is one thing, but you really have no authority over them. If this standoff continues, you’ll only damage your own dignity.”

Jin Yi muttered to herself, scratching her head and looking utterly distressed. Perhaps the Pure Spirit Sect had been damaged, activating this volcano. The lava gushing from it was so terrifying that even Jin Yi did not dare try it lightly. What if the lava could not distinguish friend from foe and wiped out an orthodox disciple of the Pure Spirit Sect like her as well?

Stalactites of every shape, each lifelike and vivid, filled my view. But after walking for a while, I realized that something was wrong.

“You’re supposed to describe it based on your feelings. That’s the genuine first reaction of a real customer—the reaction of the frontline market!” General Manager Liu’s tone was clearly becoming angry.

Perhaps that was the sort of practitioner who cultivated internal energy. As long as he infused his energy into the other person’s body, the victim would become numb all over in an instant and lose all ability to resist.

“These few demon beasts are nothing to worry about, but don’t you find it strange?” Chen Yunfeng sighed.

He had already put on a mask and transformed himself into a middle-aged man. Tu Huo had also changed his appearance, becoming an ordinary demon beast at the Nascent Soul stage, curled up on Chen Yunfeng’s shoulder.

Li Xiuqin could not make head or tail of it. She called Alai and Grandpa Lei into a secluded room to ask them the truth.

Dai Li waved his hand with a smile. “No, no, no! Of course I’m not referring to those people. It seems you truly don’t know. But that can’t be blamed on you. It’s perfectly normal—you simply haven’t had access to matters at that level.”

The attack just now had already been the utmost limit of what she could unleash. Yet Chen Yunfeng did not look injured in the slightest.

Aure’s eyes glittered with hatred. He knew that a scumbag like Sena deeply despised esports experts from ordinary backgrounds such as himself.

As it turned out, the fat man had fallen victim to a con known in the underworld as “offering a huge sum to seek a child.” This kind of scam targeted people from the lower and middle classes, using the tactic of luring the victim into a trap.

“Because they were cursed, they stopped digging and closed the mine.” Anjieduowa answered.

Qing Huan carried the food to the room that Danzhu had mentioned. After knocking and waiting for a while, the door opened slightly, though it did not swing fully wide.

It was October, in the midst of golden autumn. The window stood half open, and the warm breeze, gentle as spring wind, brushed against their faces with exquisite comfort.

They could see Molisa lying limply in the back of the carriage, her face pale. She appeared to be in very poor condition.

The two sides each hovered in midair. The roof of the hovering car folded backward like the roof of a convertible, and Mo Yunjun, seated in the passenger seat, suddenly came into Bai Luo’s view.

“Cao Chengyong, deputy captain of the municipal criminal police brigade.” Strangely enough, Dajiang had known for some time that Cao Chengyong had been transferred to the municipal bureau and promoted, yet he still habitually referred to him by his former rank. It seemed that only by doing so could he maintain his peace of mind.

It was not easy to establish a connection with the inner palace of the imperial court. As for a noble family like the Pengs, the Taibai Residence naturally had to hold on to them even more tightly.

His guess had been correct. At that moment, He Junshuo and the others were indeed discussing once again how to force Long Aotian to reveal himself.

“Then you are my enemy!” Because she had believed Qiuqiu’s words, she either avoided Mo Liao whenever she saw him afterward or found herself unable to suppress her hatred.

Zicao launched a frenzied assault against the will of the Celestial Emperor. But as time passed, the Celestial Emperor’s spiritual body grew larger and larger, while the divine fire grew increasingly dim. With the protection of the divine fire gone, Zicao’s divine soul was corroded by the Celestial Emperor’s spiritual energy until it was riddled with holes. Pools of transparent liquid flowed from it—the purest essence of divine-soul power.

Zhang Tianyi’s arrival was warmly welcomed by Bai Mudan. After showing him around the theater, she invited him to her office for tea.

Zishou’s words left Fei Zhong and You Hun stunned. Then, as if they had suddenly thought of something, the two men simultaneously covered their heads and ran toward the back.
