Chapter 28

They remained silent, knowing that anyone who spoke up now would become the scapegoat. If the mission failed, they could simply leave, but the idea of the police eliminating James? With the stolen Enlightenment Tree sapling, Meng Xiuyi had chosen not to intervene but instead activated the Desert Wolf Scorpion in advance. Ling Yue wore a crimson-gold phoenix-patterned brocade dress, supported by Auntie Tai, and entered gracefully as if she were the center of attention. Her dramatics always failed to impress Yu Zhen; with a mere glance, she returned to her needlework. Liu Bingbing, Han Xiao, and others cried out in shock, while even Shi Yuanqing's face paled. Yet, when everyone thought it impossible, Xing Tian unexpectedly agreed, shocking everyone like a bolt from the blue—even Xing Hen was stunned. Yun Qing couldn't help but laugh; clearly, this was a ploy to corner Zong Jing before broaching the topic of switching courtyards. Wuli Island, the origin of telekinesis, had a far deeper understanding and application of it than they did. But then, an unfamiliarly enticing meat aroma wafted through the air—far more fragrant than anything he'd ever tasted before. This feeling was strange; Yang Guo rarely noticed such things, but ever since his recent upgrade, he could perceive them clearly. At this moment, such actions were necessary, and he wondered how Longmen would navigate them. Qing Rang struggled with the weight, only for Yu Zichen to take it from him effortlessly. "Life on the battlefield is harsh; to live longer, one must bear more than others," he said, tossing the armor onto the rack like a handkerchief, the metal creaking in protest. "Hello, Ted, our villa is empty. Are you incognito?" Nancy handed over the luggage and asked the butler. Shao Gongzi approached his family home, glancing around at one in the morning when darkness was at its peak—so dark that even the village dogs seemed too lazy to bark. Clearly, the incompetent teammate wasn't him but Xu Yi, who kept making mistakes. Lin Mo sighed inwardly but followed silently behind him. "Dad, let's return to Linsu sooner," she said, knowing that both the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince were trying to win over her father, as the Tianmu family's wealth was the best leverage for their factional struggles. Longmen would need to adapt to these changes, and indeed, the current situation demanded it. His expression remained calm, his gaze serene, devoid of any lascivious thoughts toward the living body before him. From ten steps away, he finally saw her. Her call lacked the shyness of their first meeting or the joy of reunion; it was too indifferent, leaving him at a loss for words. It was better this way—let her give up on this relationship cleanly, leaving no room for retreat. Perhaps it was a habitual action, but Gongsun Zan's R skill dash was followed by a casual E skill toss, which stunned Pan Feng for five seconds and halved his health. That day, Wang Yun informed Diao Chan of a visit to Marquis Liu Gui's residence. Though reluctant, she had no choice but to comply. She took a deep breath and checked her makeup in the mirror, ensuring her garish appearance was perfect. Soon, the Si family's attendants gathered the food and tokens, ready to follow orders. With the previous enemies proving formidable and most attendants injured, Si Fangxing decided to abandon the search and lead the group westward. Gray mist seeped out from cracks and tunnels, bringing an intense chill that seemed to freeze Lin Qingxuan's soul and body. Zhu Zhuqing took the soul bone, channeling her spiritual power into it. As the energy flowed, a mysterious message accompanied it, entering her body and returning as a sensation. "Huh? Two level-fours?" Xia Jia wondered aloud. On the screen, Dark（team）'s Cheng Pu and Liu Zhang, and Apex（Team)'s Jia Xu and Ling Neng, each chose level four. Such a strategy was rare in matches, suggesting an early team fight in the jungle. "Glory!" Yan Yun muttered, thinking of his third confrontation with them, but he held back the urge to kill them, considering his future plans. "I never thought I'd be back in this circle again. It's been so many years..." Leng Feng reflected, gazing at the night outside. "Alright!" The sect leader felt puzzled. Why would Ying use such methods? What was the man up to? Her urgency grew. A wild boar over three hundred pounds was almost invincible in the wild. On the sixth day, he learned the Wind Blows at Night stealth technique under Yao's guidance, mastering it quite well. Just as they had discussed, handing over the event rights to DTL was motivated by self-interest. After analyzing it, he felt something was off—his bosses were too shrewd to act without certainty. He slowly removed his clothes, his right hand already covering his heart. Before he could react, there was a crack—like glass shattering—the Mountain Man's life essence split in two. Seeing this, Long Xiao Tian lunged at the two, using his Dragon Gall Spear as a club to smash their waists. This year's rise to fame for Baozi involved a conspiracy by the Death God Club; they wanted to make him famous so that people from the Xuan world would come for him and take him away. Luo Liang pushed the two off the pier, then prepared to jump himself when the boat's bottom exploded with a loud crash, sending it flying out of the water. Dr. Yu specialized in the study of soul life, believing that what people called ghosts were actually life forms existing in an electromagnetic wave state. When did this guy, who he used to mock at school, become so advanced—not only in status and wealth, but even in physical strength? He had no time to dwell on it. He heard He Lulu hesitate, then nod reluctantly and leave. After stepping out, she glanced back at Liang Chen before getting into the car, starting the engine, and speeding away.
