As the young disciple of the Demon Sect plucked his fingers, an invisible sword intent manifested upon the zither. Suddenly, the man in black clutched his neck, a series of snapping sounds emanating from his mouth as fear contorted his face. He collapsed and died on the spot. Feng Yue Rong appeared serene, as if brimming with confidence, while the ghostly crone grew anxious, suspecting that Feng Yue Rong surely had a contingency plan and began preparing one herself.

Originally, they had come to this place to exorcise demons, yet the outcome had turned into a farce. Had it not been for that person’s timely intervention, who knew what further embarrassments might have ensued. Beyond the seventh tier, every advance became as arduous as scaling the heavens. If the Xi Sheng family learned that their painstakingly trained eighth-tier experts had fallen so easily, Zheng Boyi would be utterly ruined.

A stern-faced elder emerged from a cliffside, his presence imposing and his cultivation unfathomable. “Let it be then. For you to hesitate so, and to be so cautious with secrets, it must be matters beyond ordinary human reach. Better you say no more—I fear I could not bear it,” Song Huihui said, pushing up her glasses, which reflected a sharp, detached wisdom.

No matter the turbulence outside, within the White Jade Capital the atmosphere remained as tranquil as ever. Changsun Yuansi’s expression darkened; he hadn’t expected Changsun Kangbo to defy him so brazenly today. Joyce suddenly felt a burst of pure white light explode before her eyes, followed by a chilling sensation of her mind being probed, leaving her unable to think as terror seized her trembling body.

Zhang immediately set up a protective barrier around everyone, but the storm of true energy was so fierce that the barrier shook violently, and Zhang’s face turned pale. The host parted his lips slightly, maintaining a gentle smile, silent but clearly deep in thought. Undoubtedly, Han Fan remained the same Han Fan even if he switched companies, but should he anger the big boss, he would be nothing.

Ning Ze grew to twenty zhang tall, transforming into a colossal dragon wielder. His hands moved in alternating motions—one grasping the dragon’s neck, the other its back. Though the Azure Dragon sported strong, sharp seven claws, they were rendered ineffective, splayed outward with nothing to grasp except empty air.

The onlookers were both stunned and skeptical, suspecting these were merely paper statistics with little real-world validity, and that the actual performance would be greatly diminished, making a finished product unlikely.

A hand moved honestly toward the slightly open collar, slowly drawing it apart inch by inch. “Cut the nonsense. Have you uncovered anything tonight?” Ling Feifei’s voice was already close. Amid the fierce spinning of the roulette, a flash of blue light appeared, and the reward was presented before Yuan Su.

“But your writing is awful—character descriptions are nonexistent, and you misused many words; they simply don’t fit,” Liu Miaomiao continued. After a hearty meal, the Revered Qinghong joyfully summoned other elders of the sect to discuss Mo Qiqi’s proposal from the day before.

Dong Shanhe suddenly felt regretful. If only this were China, he could go straight to the steel mill. The price of rebar for construction was incredibly cheap there—at its lowest, just two thousand yuan per ton, and even now, less than three thousand.

Si Yunqi was curious, understanding that it was only because she carried several herbs that she could concoct the medicine. Shui Qiqi, seeing Mu Xiuhan about to leave, excitedly rushed over, grabbing his arm and shouting.

“Grandpa is the most respected person in our family. Would my parents dare to disobey him?” he said handsomely, gripping the steering wheel. This luxury model was equipped with a turbocharged 482 whirlwind engine, a displacement of 1968ML, a six-speed manual-automatic transmission, the most advanced and stable independent rotary suspension, and four-wheel drive—boasting the ability to traverse anywhere without fear.

Xi Jinsheng laughed as he ate, his mind filled with images of the drunken Rong Peishan, who, in his stupor, was genuinely endearing. “Probably not as safe as the Armed Forces Guesthouse, since this place is open to the public,” Ye Weichen spoke frankly.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Rong Peishan had already called out to Long Teng and Shu Xin’s “Daddy” and “Mommy.” No matter how displeased Long Teng was, he responded, and Shu Xin was naturally happy.

Unaware, Zimeng remained lost in her daydreams, oblivious to the malicious gaze fixated intently upon her from behind. Compared to others, Duoduo was the most eager to show off among the children. Having only known most of them for two or three days, she was already cuddling with Belle and Dai’er, whispering secrets.

Those familiar with the crown prince’s temperament knew he was filled with curiosity, paying special attention to the Lord of the Hall of Secrets from beginning to end. According to Professor Hu’s “Fivefold Principle,” human combat power and that of the beasts are not equivalent, yet humans can defeat beasts with much greater strength precisely because of this principle.

Two figures passed by without hesitation, only glancing back once before delving deeper into the swamp. “Impossible! How could you wield such power?” Xiao Yuehe screamed, crushed beneath Chu Feng’s might, unable to retaliate. Though Xiao Yuehe’s heart was filled with panic and frustration, there was nothing he could do, for while Chu Feng’s strength was inferior, his attributes overwhelmingly dominated him.
