27. The Semifinals

The viewers in the livestream room had not expected the boss to make only one bid before winning it with an extra two hundred.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity to inspect the snow disasters in various regions as an imperial commissioner, it would not be a bad idea to conduct an investigation into Gu Zuo.

As this set of gears began to turn, the Nine-Dragon Coffin that had just landed on the Five-Colored Altar began to retreat in an exceedingly strange manner, pushed backward by an invisible force.

“Senior, you have seen the situation this time as well. If I don’t find a way to deal with this thing once and for all, then even if I survive the next time, what about the time after that?”

At the same time, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from a building that resembled a long sword just drawn from its sheath.

Of course, he still did not dare say any of this aloud. He was afraid of angering his foolish father into falling ill.

Naturally, the accounts could not really be calculated that way, but the efficiency of this textile mill had indeed increased dramatically.

Beneath the water in the vat was a mass of something fibrous, yet also somewhat like jelly. It seemed both liquid and solid, giving off an indescribable sensation.

“Old Master, we’ve finished the job, so we’ll be leaving first!” Expert Feng stormed off with his people.

Under the watchful eyes of the Geng brothers, Yun Qiguang “weakly” ate lunch, then staggered back to the oxygen chamber to rest, swaying three times with every step.

That single statement stunned both sides—the supporters led by Chen Xingbo and the opponents led by Li Jun.

The facts were plain to see. The reason the police from Rice-Bucket Town had been able to appear in time and stop the incident was entirely because Yang Mingna had finished dealing with Lang Xi in the tent and called ahead. In addition, after Xing Mingyuan had just been beaten and sent to the hospital, several officers happened to be conducting field investigations in Langxing Ravine. As soon as they received the report, they rushed over without a second thought.

This was a hidden room in the tea pantry, one that only someone particularly familiar with the building would notice. It was generally used for storage.

As he drew closer and closer to the Western Paradise and gained a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Buddhism, he gradually transformed from the demon monkey once filled with a desire for destruction into the Victorious Fighting Buddha who showed compassion and saved the world. His murderous intent diminished, as did his desire for victory and his fascination with fighting itself.

I saw the crystal necklace rise from my chest and hover in midair, perfectly still.

Just then, Ajiu brought Zhu Shouyi to Central and pointed toward one of the buildings.

“More or less. But it’s not that I’m in a bad mood. I’m just feeling a little sentimental,” Xu Wen replied honestly.

Although he had just used an airburst tactic, the grenades were presumably limited, and their lethality against the Japanese army was ultimately limited as well.

Because, to put it plainly, the entertainment industry was a world of fame and profit. Yet people in the music world possessed, to varying degrees, the aloofness and pride of creators. When faced with someone lacking genuine talent, they could not even be bothered to spare him a glance.

“So Big Brother intends to use this to bind Fifth Brother, our demon clan, and the Demon Court together?” asked Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

“How is President Xuan?” Baili Xiluo asked when, after leaving in a daze and meeting up with Gong Wuyuan, she suddenly remembered Xuan Ting.

In such circumstances, how could the Tartar emperor dare travel incognito? He did not even dare take a single step outside the imperial palace.

Her new script with the production crew was a cop-and-robber film. Xia Mingyi, who had often visited the set recently, brought her two glasses of juice, then sat down beside her and stared at her clothes, suddenly lost in thought.

One hand took the water from Yun Shu, while with the other, Jun Xi casually reached toward a certain point in the air. A stool instantly appeared in front of her.

Baili Xi had previously become an overnight sensation and successfully secured two films of classic status, firmly establishing herself as a leading actress.

“The room is warm, and the food hasn’t gone cold,” Yun Mo replied. In truth, he felt somewhat uneasy inside; the rules of court had not changed in this regard.

How could this Tang Miaomiao smile so radiantly at another man? And she even called him her idol?

As they spoke, the enemy vanguard arrived. Hooves fell like rain, and the blood in Mingxin’s veins, heated once more after so long, surged fiercely. With a clear cry of “Good!”, she urged her horse forward, sword in hand, and charged toward the cavalry thundering in from ahead.

It was still not enough to influence Zhen Meili, but what truly changed her expression was the blood mist clinging to the surface of her body. It could actually stir up the circulation of her vital energy and blood. At her level, after so many years of cultivation, one could say that everything was under her control.

Because of Tang Da’s status as the chief designer, and because of the enormous contributions he had made, his request was approved when he expressed a desire to see the universe once before his death.

There was a deeper meaning behind his words. Upon hearing them, Yating’s expression darkened slightly. The smile at the corners of his lips immediately vanished, replaced by several traces of an unreadable emotion.

It was still the same secluded alley from his memories, yet Tao Xiu and Zhou Hangyu had not returned for more than half a year.

Indeed, he had arrived in the Southern Lands only a few days earlier, yet had already been captured in succession by the Fire Crow Divine Clan and the Skinning Divine Clan. He had also come to understand that for members of the human race, appearing in the Southern Lands was practically a death sentence. Unless they were supreme human cultivators of extraordinary strength—beings like Lu Xuanqing or the Human Sovereign—even they would not dare act recklessly after arriving in the Southern Lands.

“This grand gift of yours is rather underwhelming,” Madman Xie said. After sensing the power of those blood-colored sinister winds, he could not help secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

The Investigations Office confirmed that Hua Feng had attempted to flee and immediately revoked his bail pending trial. Hua Feng was taken into custody at once, with no further possibility of bail until he appeared in court.
