Chapter 57: The Downfall of Xie Guolei

However, differing somewhat from Yun Shu's mindset, the three male educated youths—who had considered that leaving those three to fend for themselves might lead to accidents, but had never expected it to cost them their lives—still carried a certain psychological burden.

Unlike Yun Shu, they were not aware of the heinous crimes and wicked histories of Xie Guolei and his two companions. Therefore, their actions earlier had merely been to vent anger on behalf of Yun Shu and her friend, rather than to eradicate future troubles for them.

Precisely because they were normal human beings, they were perpetually bound by a sense of morality.

Zhou Xiaoming truly could not fathom it. Were they really beaten that miserably? Had that big guy completely lost his humanity? Why on earth would that bastard strike everywhere like that?

All afternoon, the Tang Group remained in a state of panic and chaos. The severe consequences triggered by the events at the Tang Group headquarters today were unprecedented in the company's history.

"Li is the hope for the revival of the Fox clan. I will never allow you to hurt her again!" Ji Xuanhu slammed his hand on the table and said with agitation.

"Bah, stop spouting nonsense. I, Ling Chongzi, am not easily frightened either. Use whatever skills you have! Don't even dream of making me kneel in surrender!" Looking at the enemy before him, Ling Chongzi wore an extremely grim expression.

"Have you become so polite with your words lately?" Qingchen glanced at Qingsong, picked up his teacup, and said.

Zhang Zhuifeng hesitated. He was not someone who would disregard the life and death of a friend. Valuing loyalty was a principle he adhered to while wandering the pugilistic world; otherwise, back in the capital, upon learning that Dao Wuhua had been captured alive by Hai Dalu, he would never have stepped forward to rescue him.

Dao Wuhua coughed twice and said, "There is no rush regarding this matter. We still have time. Let His Majesty consider it carefully before making a final decision."

"Chu Yunlong taught me this beforehand. He asked me to master the ultimate techniques of your Wave clan and use them in times of peril so that I could contact you." Chu Yunlong paused to ponder before speaking.

Pi Youliang and Zheng Jinzhong stood and sat respectively, both frowning deeply and looking heavily preoccupied.

"I heard you went out on a mission. How did it go?" Master Wuhya appeared quite pleased upon seeing Ling Yuan's arrival. After all, it was he who had suggested that Ling Yuan go out on more missions, as he believed Ling Yuan held a deep respect for him.

"You're going to stake out the place too, huh? I bet that mysterious gentleman hasn't come out yet," Xu Qiangwei said with a smile.

With a lovely smile, she walked past him, enveloped entirely in his familiar scent.

Stepping into the stone cabinet, Xiaoyaoyzi was instantly struck by a sense of dazzling splendor. Opening his eyes wide, he saw layers upon layers of gold coins illuminated by a glowing night-pearl within the cabinet, almost blinding his eyes.

They knew that obtaining this promise was no easy feat, and at the same time, it meant that the probability of success for this matter had greatly increased.

"Thank you, Madam!" Chi Wan entered the room happily, as if her agreement made him even happier than "that gentleman" would have been.

"You could say that! Unless you can brew the antidote for the Heart-Devouring Pill, you cannot destroy the Mortal Intent Tower. Otherwise, those figures controlled by the Demonic Court are doomed!" Huizhi Cong sighed sorrowfully.

"Hey! That's strange. Your second brother, Lian Zhupao, was just here a moment ago. How come he's nowhere to be seen now?" The man named Xiang Yifa said to Xiao Di beside him.

In the blink of an eye, snowflakes seemed to flutter down within a radius of one zhang around the Poison Overlordess. Some fell directly onto her head, making her waterfall-like cascade of white hair appear even whiter.

No one could predict the future. For now, crossing this Poison Immortal Flesh-Dissolving Pool was the only way out. Refusing meant it was impossible to cross this pool—that was a self-evident fact.

"The Bible does say so. Why do you ask?" Ye Fan looked at him in astonishment.

Figures like the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother belonged to the top leadership of the Heavenly Court. They had never once made an appearance after all this time; they were all divine beings lurking in the depths.
