Selling a House

The Emperor made a compromise. Although he did not truly hand the matter over to them to handle, he did consent to let them enter and exit the imperial palace to investigate the affair.

"My good sister, do not worry. I have a natural adamantine body, and my vitality is comparable to that of a Buddhist diamond arhat. I cannot die. A little rest and I will be as good as new." Silently digesting the medicinal potency of the Turtle and Snake Spring-Returning Pill, Shen Li comforted her.

If the Impermanence of Life—Black and White—had heard these words, they would not know how long to grieve; they had served their master for a millennium without ever receiving such treatment.

That fierce bolt of thunder resembled a pillar propping up the heavens; seen from afar, it looked even more like a gigantic sword plunging straight down from the edge of the sky.

Elder Hao Zhengyi, who was in charge of the outer sect, took a few steps forward at this moment and bowed respectfully to Elder Li Mu.

Jun Muyi's gaze darkened slightly. Clicking her mouse, she sent the photograph stained with fresh blood to her own cell phone before giving her reply.

Twisted together into a clump, it looked precisely like a massive, grotesque tumor. Among those maddened demon gods, some had already completely lost control of their bodies, turning into the most terrifying and bizarre existences.

They were all one-in-a-million selections who had only arrived here after enduring rigorous tests over the past three days.

Not only Dragan, but even Braver and Harald wore looks of sheer astonishment. Using multiple tuner monsters to perform a Synchro Summon involving more than one non-tuner monster—a double Synchro—was something they had never even heard of.

Those soldiers kept their eyes straight ahead. Even upon seeing the arrival of the monarch, they only bowed slightly before returning to their icy, statue-like expressions.

"Although the constitution of a demon is not weak, it is as different as heaven and earth when compared to the supreme physiques of the universe. If I possess this body, will I one day become as powerful as him?" muttered the great demon to himself, completely failing to take Chen Yun seriously.

The meteor's momentum had already been drastically reduced after being blocked by the mountain peak, and now it shattered completely under Bai Xinbai's formidable sword momentum.

The two men stepped out of the black sedan and were escorted into the villa by burly men in black suits. Arriving by the swimming pool in the back garden, a handsome young man of around twenty, wearing swimming trunks, was lounging on a deck chair.

At a corner, Yang Xudong's head had just come into view when a fist hurtled toward him. Fortunately, Yang Xudong was trained in martial arts and easily evaded the man's surprise attack.

"I... I'm warning you... We are guests of Mr. Yang Daoting... If you harm us... Mr. Yang Daoting will not let you off..." Ducenert said with a trembling voice.

At that very moment, dozens of powerful auras, not inferior to the realm of martial generals, emerged outside the Jinghua Building.

The next day, as news of Orient Company's fraudulent practices flooded the media, the company was once again pushed into the spotlight—only this time, it was a scandal. Following this incident, Orient Company's business gradually dwindled until eventually, no customers came through the doors at all.

Hearing a chilling voice, Huang Zhenjiang and his subordinates shuddered and broke out in a cold sweat. Then, they saw a figure slowly emerge from the pitch-black night.

Along the way, quite a few carriages passed and overtook the horse-drawn carriage in which Yechen was riding. The coachmen were all very enthusiastic, telling Yechen many things about Changlin City. True to being veterans of the road, they spoke eloquently and with great expertise.

Beside Li Tianle, Ruyan Qiaoqian saw him mention the map. She took the jade slip from his hand, pressed it against her forehead, and began to watch, eager to see what on earth this thing was.

"Sister, you still haven't told me why you're looking for that nuisance?" Ji Siyu did not let her off the hook and quickly pressed on.

Red Moon bit her lip, spun around, and struck Red Purple and Blue with a palm, using a subtle force to hurl her several miles away.

Just as Feng Xiao helped Zi Xue push open the security door, Zi Xue suddenly lunged forward, kissed Feng Xiao on the lips, and then ran off with a blushing, smiling face. Feng Xiao stood dumbfounded in the doorway, unable to react for a moment, as if his soul had left his body.

The most miserable of all was Yang Quan's family. After the eighth day of the lunar new year, they received cancellations of cooperation one after another, and even Liang Hongsheng called off his partnership with the Yang family.

"Thank you, Dr. Nie..." Nie Feng turned his head and saw the villagers of Xueshan Village kneeling one by one, uttering words of gratitude.

Nie Feng opened the door once again. Seeing him puffing on a cigarette with a look of utter confidence, Fatty Hei and the others were left somewhat dumbfounded.

However, his calls elicited no response. Old Man Wudeng's body remained limp, devoid of any strength to support itself, resting entirely upon the hands of both myself and Liu Pingjiu.

Had it not been for the fact that Liu Liu once employed a secret soul-splitting technique to refine the mortal realm's ghost domain, leaving half of his soul power upon the stele within it, not even a true immortal could have saved Liu Hui now.

Sect Master Chu also had his own trusted confidants, so he promptly dispatched them to those places to secure control over those individuals.

The reporters grew excited. As journalists, they took pride in reporting the hottest major news. Zhou Tian's lawsuit against the law enforcement department of the neighboring county could be said to be the most explosive and attention-grabbing major news of the past few days and even the coming month. Not a single media professional was willing to let slip such an opportunity.

As the court staff pasted an X-shaped seal across the doors of Yan Qixiang's house, that building at that very moment truly said its final farewells to Yan Qixiang.

"First, immediately investigate who else among Fang La's subordinates remains, how many troops they have, and where they are gathering. Second, find out approximately when Tong Guan will lead his army back in triumph," Li Jing instructed. After giving his orders, he turned his horse around, looked toward Fang Baihua, opened his mouth, and hesitated, not knowing how to begin.
