Chapter 32

If Su Yao were to（raise）private troops, he wouldn't know whether it would anger the imperial court and turn him into a public enemy with a red name. Just the additional cost of maintaining thousands of men would make it impossible for him to sustain them. They had to hold their ground before the dike collapsed, preventing the Goguryeo people from disrupting their operations. This was the reason the wandering spirits had managed to infiltrate. In reality, they couldn't venture too deep into the forest, so if Su Qing ran far away, she wouldn't be torn apart—at least not by the spirits. Could it be that after joining the Special Intelligence Bureau, it was the clerk they contacted and their superior who were at fault? Or perhaps players inside couldn't receive game clues, making it impossible to survive without help. "By the way, when are we going to Xie's Manor?" Shen Wan asked, sitting at the table and cracking sunflower seeds. "In the future, we might face other difficulties. I don't care about that position, but I have people I want to protect. It's time to grow up so I can protect them," he thought. His deep-red eyes dimmed, and his cold gaze turned into a calm and lazy demeanor. Above, blood mist like heavy dark clouds slowly descended, as if a blood rain was about to pour down. Through this sect competition, both the Hidden Dragon and Heavenly Genius rankings would undergo a major reshuffle, with many reclusive cultivators waiting for this day to gain substantial rewards. He had seen people dress quickly on TV before, but seeing it in person still felt unreal. Sitting on the sofa, Shen Xinyi looked at the Heart of the Sea（Sea Wave）with admiration. She cherished it too much to wear it outside, not knowing its value. Xu Yaran entered the elevator, and someone shamelessly followed her. Xu Yaran threw two（homemade）white-eye glares at Li Yilan. In a single exchange, Xu Fan sprayed blood and flew backward, barely maintaining his ability tohover（hover）in the air, thoroughly defeated in a battle between a Star Soul and the limit of a Star Vitality stage. "It's a pity you're not returning," Shen Xinyi said nonchalantly, though she hoped Gu Yi would take the job and stop wandering around. Tong Guaiyi didn't like the smiling man with wrinkles on his face and didn't want to talk much. She nodded and greeted others before leaving. The long flute melody gradually faded, and with a long final note, a tall and handsome face emerged from the shadows under the moonlight. His delicate features, elegant figure, and gentle and refined smile, along with a jade flute emitting a faint cyan glow in the night sky, made him stand out. "Cold Ice Transmission—it's the master!" Xue Wuming recognized the method of using cold air to freeze water vapor into ice crystals to send messages—only the North Yao Palace's master could do this. Tong Guaiyi felt she was braver than ever and picked up the knife lying beside her to strike the struggling fish. "Baby, we meet again," Nangong Meining greeted Tu Baobao with a warm smile, overwhelming Manager Lin. The return gift wasn't about price but about thoughtfulness and uniqueness. Though novel, Yin Xiang couldn't get used to it and left after two bowls of soup due to toothache. Any disrespect toward a family surname, even saying "I've never heard of this surname," could land one on the family's hit list. Therefore, even though Xi Ze had never heard of "Adolf," he wouldn't say much. Her face changed when Wang Chongyang grabbed her abdomen and neck, feeling his burning presence—indicating his cultivation had fully recovered. Xu Shu's thoughts were similar to Liu Ye's, so after Liu Ye's analysis, he agreed and suggested sending troops to search for the three missing Yellow Turban remnants. "I was overthinking it; Liu Chuan is still your disciple, after all!" Wu Nian consoled herself. Holding back the pain, he sighed in relief, thinking Zhang Mengfei had seen his and Han Rong's interaction, even though nothing had happened. He felt guilty anyway. Upon arriving at the（Demon Qi）bar, Wang Chongyang parked the car and his parents frowned upon seeing their surroundings. The two dogs were only five months old, looking cute and fluffy. Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, a staff member hurried over to the judges' table with a note. "Spatial treasure," the newcomer exclaimed in shock. Just as they prepared to attack again, Zou Li sank and fell from the sky. "That's the roar of the Fire Cloud Kirin—it sounds angry, probably seething with humiliation! What do we do now? After your brother's massive magic attack, it's still alive—how are we supposed to fight it?" The Tiger King worried. The root of the chaos in Qin's officialdom was that some people were reaching into Xiao Han's pockets. Thus, when Xiao Han discussed the situation with his superiors, his concerns were evident. Suddenly, the sun star formed from Pangu's left eye erupted with ten thousand feet of red flames, like a giant fire dragon attacking the Fusang Tree; at the base of the tree, a roar erupted with flames spewing forth.
