Crossing the Middle Ages 067

"I'm sorry, it was your brother who brought this upon you." Lin Feng's voice was deep and hoarse, like a beast growling in the dark.

"Haha, no one can guarantee that there aren't moles from the rival company planted within each other's ranks." Dong Kai did not deny it either. After all, since this news had only been released today and they already knew about it, it spoke volumes about the situation.

Yet he could not purge the entire management team all at once; after all, the daily operations of a company still relied on them to keep running.

As spiritual power continued to be poured in, the stars seemed to be connected by faint, shimmering talismanic paths, and their positions began to shift gradually.

Suddenly, Jin Rixun struck without warning, transforming into a golden streak of light as he threw a palm strike. The mecha managed to raise its arms in defense, and in a fraction of a second, their palms collided three times. With a single explosive push from Jin Rixun, the Star Guardian was forced back by the dual-palm impact. Though its feet were firmly planted on the ground, it slid back a long distance, crashing heavily into the VIP compartment behind it.

At the very moment Zao Fang leaped down, what Liu Yi saw in his eyes was not hesitation or a desire to test the waters, but absolute resolve.

From then on, even if Jiang Dayu wanted to establish his own independent venture, having the backing of Peng Shigang's connection would allow him to go anywhere in Huaxia unimpeded.

Ji Tian stared in utter astonishment at the scene unfolding before him. Prior to this, he had entertained countless methods of artifact refinement, guessing all sorts of techniques Star Lord Tianxuan might employ. Yet, never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that Star Lord Tianxuan's method of forging a treasure would be to make a grand vow, dance in a ritual to the Dao, and let the Dao manifest divine light to forge a supreme divine artifact.

As for the true combat prowess of Chief Constable Xu and Ding Yantian, it was far more formidable than what appeared on the surface. Setting aside Ding Yantian, Chief Constable Xu had successfully unblocked not only his twelve primary meridians during this period, but also the remaining eight extraordinary meridians, including the Governing and Conception vessels.

Below Qingyuan, right where Ding Yantian stood, the ground suddenly trembled. A colossal earthworm burst forth from the subterranean depths in an instant, clamping its jaws onto the lower half of Ding Yantian's body and swallowing him whole.

In an instant, Mu Qingxiao opened his starry eyes and swept his gaze across the surroundings. Unbeknownst to him, he had already appeared above a vast forest.

Perhaps due to the deterrence exerted by the auction house, the order in the surrounding area was far superior to that of other places, though the prices were exorbitant, making it unaffordable for ordinary people.

"Come on in. If you hadn't returned soon, I was about to send someone to look for you at your shop," the second concubine said with a beaming smile as she gracefully toyed with her jewelry in front of a polished bronze mirror.

Back outside the city, due to the obstruction of the city walls and the defensive barrier array, the two of them had been unable to see the specific conditions within the city. Now that they laid eyes upon it, a profound sense of familiarity welled up within them.

As for the great war between humans and demons, the human side seemed not to have completed its preparations yet, which was why it had not been instigated thus far.

If that were truly the case, did Luo Yi's warning of "those who go shall not return" refer to this exact kind of danger?

"Who might you be?" Seeing that the other party spoke with considerable politeness, Zhao Dingyi had no choice but to respond in kind for the moment.

Grand Elder Mo Zhai first stared at Mo Fei with a skeptical expression, but realization dawned upon him immediately afterward. Mo Fei had no reason to deceive him about such a matter, nor was there any necessity to do so.

A glint of sharp insight flashed through Poker Face's eyes. "Seeing him is fine, anyway he doesn't have much time left to live..." His cold and indifferent tone made taking He Jingheng's life sound like the most mundane task in the world.

Applying force with his hands, a massive hand formed from dark primordial energy directly crushed the legendary lizardman to pieces.

Right as the few of them were arguing, Granny Black suddenly shuddered all over, and a thick, unnatural cloud of black smoke, resembling a flying serpent, darted into Du Meng's forehead. At that very moment, a lightning-shaped scar suddenly manifested. The black smoke passed through the scar and entered the Niwan Palace of Du Meng's mind, condensing into the image of another old black crone.

The spatial distortion subsided, and upon discovering that Song Yan had vanished, the giant beast raised its head to the heavens and let out several roars filled with incomparable fury.

Executing the Heavenly Dipper Art, the python's eyes revealed a look of reluctance and resentment as it began to dodge. Even with its tough, thick hide, it dared not withstand the Heavenly Dipper Art head-on.

"I am simply speaking my mind." Although restrained by the other party's instruments of torture, Yang Chong did not possess the mindset of a prisoner, nor did he consider himself to be one.

To avoid drawing attention, she packed away half of her belongings, while taking all the dried goods and eggs, leaving behind only some jerky which she planned to cook and eat shortly.

"Old Feng did his absolute best as well, and I feel this matter cannot entirely be blamed on him!" Great Elder Su Wu stated bluntly.

"Captain Fide, pick it up and weigh it in your hand," Constable said with a smile. His smile was far more genuine than that of most people, making him look like both a trustworthy employee and an employer who placed absolute trust in you.

"In that case, it was Senior Tang Ling who saved my life!" Looking at the Spirit-Sealing Box and the water-attribute source crystal, Jiang Feng could not help feeling a mild surge of surprise.

Clutching his cup with a guilty conscience, Rou knew he should drink, yet remained uneasy, still feeling that stepping back into the woods would be the safer option.

Continuing his ascent, Jiang寒 (Jiang Han) was bathed in a radiant glow, unleashing every technique at his disposal. No matter what it took, Jiang Han was determined to set foot upon this ninth tier of stone steps.

Morning Star, Eveye Overa glanced back at Shanawei, who was also gazing dreamily at the thirteen morning stars, wondering if one of them bore her name.

Jiang Han wanted to converse a bit more with this cultivator, but more streaks of escaping light began to illuminate the sky.

He cast a somewhat apprehensive glance toward Houtu, only to find her expression serene and entirely unchanged, though Fei Lian's flesh was being viciously pinched in secret.

Zhang Changyong returned to his room, brushing the fallen snow from his shoulders. Luo Luo and the others hurried forward to inquire with concern.
