46 Wager

Zhang Chu couldn't be bothered to speak with the cousin standing before him. Their relationship could hardly be called good, and previously they would only exchange a few words during the family gatherings at New Year, with no other interaction whatsoever.

Jing Qiuxuan was somewhat bewildered. Although the old lady's condition was very poor, she had always stubbornly clung to life, supported by the finest medical resources.

Shen Mengjun paused for a moment, looking at Zhang Chu’s smiling yet silent expression, and lowered her head with a hint of shyness.

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, wore a warm smile, and asked a rather irrelevant question.

With a "not my business, hang on high" attitude, many people distanced themselves further to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

"Come with me! Both of us brothers are heading to the docks, so we can look out for each other." At that moment, Qin Dahu spoke up.

"Humans cannot smell that kind of odor and remain unaffected, but neither monsters nor spiritual beasts can—they will all go mad." Shen Xingchui did not stop his master from investigating, even though he truly could not perceive anything amiss himself.

The other five thousand men brought by Li Ping were all cavalry, encamping between the inner county town and the earthen wall defense line to the south.

The scale of wealth possessed by Li Ping was at least equal to the five hundred million US dollars that Gu Le had previously heard Jason and the others paint as a grand picture.

His realm was different from ordinary people like them. All the fellow disciples knew he was born with a sword physique, and basically, there would be no bottlenecks in his state of mind to hinder the growth of his cultivation.

At that moment, everyone's gaze converged on this unassuming figure. Amidst the plaintive melodies of the Pei village surroundings, his angry shout sounded even more like a mockery of fate.

The Regge Annihilation Palm was an innate technique among the family's secret mysterious-grade martial arts. It was an extremely formidable, violently offensive qigong imbued with the might of thunder. Beyond the Regge Annihilation Palm lay even more majestic and advanced qigong of the same lineage, divided into several categories: Elephant Grade, Dragon Grade, Saint Grade, Earth Grade, and Heaven Grade.

Because in their eyes, what Liang Xiao was about to do was no different from a cornered beast fighting for its life. After all, they had just witnessed that facing their attacks, Liang Xiao showed not the slightest power to retaliate. Inability to fight back meant that Liang Xiao possessed no martial arts at all.

The Heavenly Illusion Elder spoke in unison, their laughter shaking the heavens and the earth, while those twin giant hands—one golden, one white—brimmed with boundless divine power, piercing through boundless time and space.

"Oh my, Young Master, who would leave such a precious thing in a place like this? Don't worry, no one will take it." Lulu giggled as she secretly tried to stuff the pearl into her pocket, but try as she might, she couldn't fit it into a pocket already stuffed full of Qiqi fruits. Yet, she was too reluctant to throw away even a single Qiqi fruit.

Zhang Yue involuntarily paused his drinking, listening with rapt attention. He hadn't expected that Wukong, with his rough and rugged appearance, also harbored such a meticulous mind. But come to think of it, if he were merely a reckless brute, how could he have stayed in Shaolin Temple for five hundred years without anyone discovering the truth that he had remained conscious all along?

Although he spoke lightly on the surface, Lu Shuangyang actually felt a slight chill down his spine. Originally, he had only intended to come and find the Whip Altar Master, but as he approached this private room, Lu Shuangyang sensed a fierce and piercing aura—it was the aura of the Saber Altar Master, who unlike the Whip Altar Master, did not conceal his presence.

Jing Si fell into silence. Everyone wore grim expressions, leaning back against the sofa, staring at the missing person notice on the internet with a deep sense of helplessness.

Actually, his elder sister's newly acquainted boyfriend was quite a decent person. Even if Lu Anke didn't say anything, Lu Yu felt he should apologize to Liang Xiao for what he had said earlier. However, he hadn't expected that Liang Xiao would happen to overhear his sister Lu Anke saying she liked Jin Ti, and then leave heartbroken, not knowing where he had gone.

The elf warriors garrisoned here had already conveyed everything that happened through the wind. Avalon knew he was about to face a formidable enemy.

Indeed, although Zuo Feibai had not deliberately created any hype, this matter had long since spread from Hong Kong, and interested parties had blown it out of proportion into a showdown between the mainland and Hong Kong feng shui circles.

Li Jiabin led Zuo Feibai into the largest office, and Zuo Feibai noticed a nameplate on the door bearing the words "President's Office."

After they finished weighing the vegetables for three households, a regular customer came over to pick up their order. Seeing that the stall had changed hands, the customer looked somewhat surprised and asked where Aunt Zhang had gone. Mother Mu explained the situation, and the customer nodded before hurrying away.

Mo Ziqian, who had been resting with his eyes closed inside the carriage, suddenly stiffened. He seemed to sense a familiar aura, and then a smile bloomed on his face because he heard the voice he had yearned for day and night for eight months.

It was his eldest brother Wu Chi who personally appointed him, Zhao Kuangyin, to lead this Red Turban army, which in turn led to the Emperor directly promoting him to the rank of a fourth-rank Cavalry General.

"Naughty, naughty, naughty, rolling your eyes means you're not angry anymore. Since you're no longer mad, I'll tell you a secret of mine." Li Gunian deliberately teased Pei Siyu.

Lan Lian had also heard the gossip, but from the very first day Gao Yuanyuan stepped into Heaven and Earth, Lan Lian had mentally prepared herself to be like a younger sister. Therefore, toward such rumors, she merely smiled faintly.

The other teammates finished chanting their spell incantations at that moment. Alice launched a fireball, Elizabeth shot forth a stream of water, and a beam of earth-yellow light flew from Sophia's fingertips.

"Junior Brother Weiliang, what has happened to you?" The Deer-Riding Arhat walked over and asked with concern.

Over fifty slips of paper were distributed among more than three hundred boxes, meaning on average, only one out of every six or seven boxes contained an intelligence slip.

Qin Hao showed no mercy as he unleashed a surge of hidden internal force into the cultivator's skull, completely obliterating him so thoroughly that he could not possibly be any deader.
