38 Sacrifice

With it, no matter how ferocious the flames or how thick the smoke, Dongfang Yuqin and her bodyguard would never wake up halfway, but would instead be reduced to ashes within the seductive fire.

A car horn suddenly blared outside, causing the two to react and pull slightly apart. Fearing that Mother Zhou might fall, Tang Feng steadied her.

"Luoyang is right. If they dare to act recklessly again, we will abandon this mission and focus solely on hunting them down. We at Fangya might not be good at much else, but we are professionals when it comes to hunting." Southwest spoke dozens of words in a single breath, a rare occurrence.

Seeing this, Ye Nan dared not be the slightest bit careless; he immediately mobilized his Devouring Spirit Body and channeled the spiritual energy within his body.

With the help of Taichu, Ye Nan stepped out of the cave and was momentarily stunned to find several strangers all staring at him.

Mu Qingshuang smiled sweetly at his words, affectionately linked her arm through Ye Nan's, and strolled leisurely toward the Ye family residence.

Li Hao dared not mention that Lin Ya had prompted it; he understood Qin Meng's intentions, and if he were to reveal it, it would only cause Lin Ya great embarrassment.

Furthermore, the Golden Chamber had a unique feature: it was equipped with a spiritual array. From the inside, one could clearly see the outside, yet no one from the outside could see the people or objects within.

The fisherman suddenly turned his head toward Tang Chen and posed a question, his weathered eyes filled with sorrow for the past.

Everyone just looked at him, watching him in silence, until eventually, their calls faded away.

After finally making it to the end of the shift, Murong Lian walked out of the office. When Mo Ming saw her, he waved to greet her, but to his surprise, Murong Lian merely glanced past him, ignored him completely, and walked away.

It was not until noon that Mu Ran woke up. This illness had almost caused her health to regress to where it was before she had recovered.

Regardless of what the future held, Wang Nuo was at least worthy of a letter of intent right now, perhaps even more—he was beginning to be able to pick his buyers.

Fang Zhengyan nodded, then shook his head, refusing to speak. He felt that whatever he said now would be wrong and would give her something to use against him. Was Qin Lan trying to play matchmaker for him, too?

Two more days passed. As the quiet days went by and Zhu Yan was feeling bored, the cell door outside opened once again.

The two recruits fell backward from the impact. As Mo Ming landed, he supported himself with one hand and executed a sweeping kick, knocking the recruit who had seized the opportunity to charge forward to the ground.

For a moment, a complex mixture of emotions stirred within her—struggle and hesitation. Should she ignore him forever and run away in anger, or give him another chance to explain the events of that day? Perhaps he had some unavoidable reason.

On the third day, Mu Ran sent another edict: all those remaining assembled outside the city were to be registered, and guards would go door-to-door to round them up, expel them all from Yuzhou, revoke their residency, and forbid them from ever entering Yuzhou again.

Pei Tayan refused to admit that in a life-or-death struggle, he was no match for Yan Boyue. From the day he changed his name, he had worked hard to collect everything he could about Yan Boyue and tailored his training accordingly.

Zhang Lingtian was not only the eldest young master of the Zhang family and a leader among the Jiangnan elite circle, but he was also the idol in the hearts of many wealthy young women in Jiangnan.

He had stood up for Zhou Shirong two days ago, only to have two of his ribs broken by a bumpkin and end up in the hospital. He had been seething with anger, and upon being discharged, he was even more furious to find his subordinates had been beaten. That was why he had brought people along to exact revenge with such aggression.

The Star of Hope emitted waves of powerful recoil as countless bullets left the chamber, pouring out and sweeping across like raindrops.

"What, do you regret it? If you want to break the seal, this is the best way," Zixiao said dismissively.

Now, he only wanted to alter his appearance, to have him take on the form of a complete human body, no longer that ugly skeleton.

At this moment, even the quarantine zone formed by police cars was being breached by zombies. The sound of gunfire grew weaker; some zombies charged straight past the cars, grabbing policemen and tearing into them. Even though those zombies were shot down, the policemen would instantly turn into zombies themselves, dragging their teammates around them into the fray.

As the blade aura rising from Shen Qiang grew to resemble the scorching sun, the snow on the ten thousand peaks of the Kunlun Mountains collapsed with a roar. Combined with the bizarre celestial phenomena, it not only made Shen Qiang, standing proudly at the summit of Kunlun, look overwhelmingly imposing, but it also left the many cultivators present in absolute shock.

In an instant, her body twisted and transformed into a winged beast with the head of a cat and the face of a human.

The whispers and discussions continued nearby, making the atmosphere increasingly eerie, enough to pique even Chen Qingdi's curiosity.

"Master Wu, let me pour a bit more for you. My tolerance isn't great, and I have things to attend to later!" Wu Yong said, pouring more than half into his basin.

However, after Li Sheng landed that punch, not only was Li Sheng stunned, but Li Xuan was also left speechless.

The demon clan's encampment was not difficult to find; even around this frontier battle line, it was easy to locate.

Yun Long was bewildered, as if just waking from a long dream, his consciousness not yet fully restored. He stared blankly at the crowd, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Unless the history could be recovered, the heritage could not be continued; otherwise, as time passed, those powers would vanish without a trace.

No one understood what was meant, except for Ming Cheng, who laughed. While laughing, he patted Qiu Min on the shoulder and said, "What do you think?"

Zhao Wujing was very famous in Hong Kong, and the Gu family certainly knew of him. However, they had previously only sought treatment from Western doctors. Now that He Xinyue had made the introduction, they were certainly willing to give it a try.

Originally, Yun Long wanted to wait a little longer, but he worried that Jin Chengxin might not be able to hold on. Thus, Yun Long ordered the soldiers to cover their noses and mouths, spur their horses, and charge onto the main road like a lightning bolt, galloping toward Twin Peaks Mountain.

The trend of holding a Spring Festival gala in Xuzhou had long since spread like wildfire to neighboring prefectures and counties. Many wealthy families nearby heard the news and decided to bring their entire families for a Spring Festival trip to Xuzhou. As a result, the already bustling Xuzhou became even more vibrant and lively.
