Volume 1, Chapter 58: The Young Boss Takes Office

It is unknown how much time had passed when Qin Xiao's agonizing roars finally subsided. Awakening once more, Qin Xiao found himself outside that mysterious black space, with his body completely free of injuries save for caked blood and his own shredded garments.

Jiang Fan's words plunged them into burning anxiety. As their divine power depleted, their complexions grew increasingly grim.

Far from feeling angered by this outcome, he instead wore an expression of extreme delight.

Ling Junyi cast a triumphant glance toward Mu Sheng, his mind already picturing the impending scene of Mu Sheng being cast out.

Without a word, the group departed, heading straight southwest upon leaving. Seeing them move far away, Jiang Wei trailed a distance behind them.

Beneath the gaze of those eyes, anyone—even paragons as formidable as Soul Heaven Emperor—would feel their soul tremble slightly.

Uchiha Taohuo forced himself to calm down. The sound of his own breathing echoed in the surroundings, instantly charging the atmosphere with grim intensity. Simultaneously, located at the rear, Uchiha Tekka directly completed the hand seals to execute his jutsu.

Inside a moss-grown cave, a flash of white light abruptly heralded the arrival of Indie and five others.

Dachun bounded and fluttered all the way to the summit, where swirling mists and thick incense smoke indeed awaited. Yet besides an old cranny tending the temple, no one else seemed to be present. That was hardly surprising; in an agricultural era, metallurgy consumed immense human labor, and even if monks or Daoists were present, they would have had to descend to the mines to toil.

"That is good. However, you should still exercise a bit of caution when bringing eggs. Although policies have changed, certain comrades still hold rather conservative views. Let's avoid making a public spectacle and giving others cause for gossip."

For Bai Huanzhi, Momo was the reason to live, while Pao Pao was merely a tool for survival.

He Yunlong looked on with utter speechlessness, unable to say anything more. He simply tucked the slip of paper into his pocket and walked outside.

After a series of sparring bouts, it was easy to see that whether in fist techniques or legwork, Xiang Tianhua was noticeably superior to Murong Kun.

"Is there any difference between now and the past?" Yada asked after Kibe Shikura finished his emotional sigh.

Bai Huanzhi still remembered everything Fu Jingsi had said before, but she truly could not wait that long, and neither could Momo.

Yet solely as an expression of gratitude, a strange sense of discomfort welled up in Song Yuyan's heart; he did not wish for gratitude to be the only thing existing between them.

Possessing a fiery temper and martial arts prowess, Jiang Mengxue unleashed a high side kick directly at Murong Kun. Unflustered, Murong Kun merely leaned his upper body slightly backward and effortlessly dodged the blow.

There was another issue yet to be resolved: having released spiritual energy through the Ice Well, Jianjiu had not yet figured out how to gather it back up. He raised the dilemma that if this massive volume of spiritual energy could not be collected, they would have to find a way to disperse it so that it would evenly permeate the Earth.

Huasheng Jidian had initially assumed that magical artifacts carried no experience points, but upon inspecting Huang Da's brass staff with his X-ray vision, he realized his mistake. He had persistently pestered Huang Da to examine the weapon precisely for those twenty-some-thousand experience points.

Yet the principles and nature of the Pegasus Liberation Party dictated that the Red faction would one day participate in the surging wave to overthrow the feudal rule of the Green Dynasty. Irreconcilable contradictions existed between the Pegasus Liberation Party and the Green Royal Navy, ensuring that the two military forces would inevitably clash across battle lines one day.

Following his voice, a barrage of laser energy beams hurtled toward Lin Xiu and Baili Haoling as they rushed out.

After lunch, the aunt and uncle wished to take a nap. Staying at Li Yu's place meant neither smoking nor speaking loudly, so Li Yu righteously rejected Feng Yiming's proposal to continue playing mahjong and instead dragged everyone off to an internet café.

Zhan Tianyu nodded mutely without a word, though he was well aware in his heart that being transferred from the Yipin Logistics Beijing Branch back to the headquarters to work at Yipin Net would be immensely beneficial to his career trajectory.

Chu Yunduan was not dead; this single point alone was enough to prove that those words were most likely not fabricated. The Demon Lord was truly exploiting his subordinates for cultivation, treating everyone in the demon cult as mere pawns.

"In my view, you should put this notion to rest. Her health is already poor; it is better for her to stay in Chang'an City and quietly enjoy her twilight years. Her body simply cannot withstand the jolting journey along the way," Li Shen said calmly.

"Brother, what are you saying? How is Li Lin ordinary? Haven't you always considered yourself a good judge of character? How did you misjudge someone this time?" Yuna retorted indignantly.

He also knew he could not stop the other party. The reason the opponent had not yet left was likely to eliminate any future troubles, so as he slashed away, he pondered how to satisfactorily resolve the matter.

Li Shen glanced sideways at Da Xiong and silently gave him a mental thumbs-up. He truly could never quite read Da Xiong's personality, as it was far too mercurial—one moment he looked like an honest, simple-minded fellow, the next like a cunning bear, and at times he would even act a bit goofy.

Fortunately, the condition proposed by Ma Zhong did not require him to leave as well; otherwise, the Jingzhou army might not have agreed so smoothly.

"I have a way, don't worry." With a wall separating them, it was inconvenient to elaborate, so Chen Ting merely instructed her younger sister to go to the entrance and prepare to coordinate her escape.

The floor of the tourist center's lobby was piled high with garbage, and some of the corpses mixed within were no longer recognizable in form. The room reeked of putrefaction. Frowning, some people began to reduce the frequency of their breathing.

Successive booms resounded continuously in this place, and surges of immensely powerful energy erupted directly from the center, rippling outward in all directions.

No one knew when Boss Guan might bring his men over, though the probability of them arriving today was practically zero. Therefore, Chen斌 hoped to arrange everything on the perimeter during the safest window of time, so that when Boss Guan did arrive, everyone could simply wait and see how things unfolded.

Thus, Elder Han rushed off to the hospital with Qing Yulan, while Yang Ming alighted by the roadside and walked toward the Brilliant Bar ahead.

Although Lao Zheng, King Huzhou, and the others had manifested crystal barriers, their cultivation was, after all, too weak to withstand the shockwaves. Fortunately, Wufan, Long Wufei, and the others had already made their move.

When Deng Wuqi noticed these corpses, a suspicion began to form in his mind regarding whether some drastic change had occurred at the old Hua family residence. Because the bodies were bloated and deformed, he could not recognize their former appearances.
