Chapter 162: Breaking Through the Siege

Jiang Yuan saw that his opponent was well-prepared, and his heart gradually sank to the depths of despair.

“Are you waiting for Jiang Butong?” Shang Kun asked. Now that he had full control of the situation, he had all the patience to toy with Jiang Yuan, intending to shatter his spirit bit by bit.

“Do you know Xiaotong?” Jiang Yuan retorted.

“Ru—”

Samana shrugged; there was no point in saying more. Besides, he had already reached level eight and was more confident than before. If he could make it out alive this time, it would be a huge gain. With Morin and Ye Tian, this place was worth twenty million dollars, and on top of that, he had leveled up—an immeasurable fortune.

“These two are clearly exceptional talents; given time, they will surely soar. There is no need for my guidance,” Boss Shen laughed.

Fierce killing intent surged like relentless waves. Zheng Yan’s pupils contracted sharply as countless silken threads shot from his sleeves, wrapping tightly around the beast puppet. But rather than controlling it, Zheng Yan’s wrist twisted, the threads vibrating intensely, pulling the giant puppet back and covering it onto his own back.

Although he now held the position of Chancellor, seemingly powerful and unyielding, his standing was not entirely secure. Above him loomed Su Jixun, the sworn father of Lin Zhimo, pressing down relentlessly.

As soon as Su Youling left, Hu Tu finally packed up, wielding a gleaming cleaver that contrasted with his rugged, stubbled face.

The Rock Devourer raised its twin claws; in an instant, rocks covered its entire body as it swung its claws fiercely at the flaming spear.

The saltfield officials were subordinates of the Salt Historian of Snow Blue City. Since the Salt Historian’s son had given instructions, they could not afford to be negligent. Moreover, this wasn’t a major matter. So when they saw Yu Fenghong enter the city, they immediately dispatched someone to report to Ali.

Upon receiving the intelligence, Shazhuo contacted Ye Tian at once. Obviously, any action now required Ye Tian’s approval. Not only was Ye Tian a senior figure in the Double Group, but Shazhuo and his comrades had originally been brought back by Ye Tian. Thus, any matters must first be sanctioned by him.

However, after circling around, she saw no hills, only some food left nearby—undoubtedly prepared out of concern that she might be hungry.

Luden pocketed the key, and Meg even sat on the chest to prevent anything inside from mysteriously disappearing.

That very night, Jin Yueji arranged for gifts to be prepared, planning to visit Zhou Xin in the hospital the next day. She had considered paying a direct visit to the Zhou family but decided the hospital was more appropriate after some thought.

The various phenomena of the Brave New World conveyed one clear message to Luden—they could not reach the speed of light.

Out of sight of the crowd, the “corpse” of Luden, hung from the streetlamp, silently underwent subtle changes.

Suddenly, she glanced sideways at the few strands of purple-grade spiritual threads floating above the Eternal Dry Cauldron. She lifted her hand, grasped them, and absorbed them into her mind-sea, quickly refining them.

After the 1985 Lunar New Year, all procedures for building the Jichun Department Store had been completed. The construction team and materials were ready. Zhou Xin introduced Zhou Zhigang to Fang Shuo to supervise the project.

A yellow talisman and a spatial pouch appeared. For Su Qian, these were invaluable assets in the ancient battlefield ruins, capable of playing a crucial role in dangerous situations.

News of the Qu family’s bankruptcy immediately spread through the wealthy circles. Qu Xiaoxiao’s former rich second-generation companions abandoned her one by one. Even after Yao Bin’s offer of maintenance was rejected by Qu Xiaoxiao, he withdrew from House 2203 and disappeared.

Zhu Xiaoyan knew he could not delay any longer. If he kept making excuses, Chen Changling would surely become suspicious. Now, Chen Changling was being amicable simply to avoid trouble; getting the beast bones smoothly was all that mattered.

Bai Gu Mountain had been visited by him several times before, but always only reaching the common areas. The core region, rumored to contain spirit-grade treasures, elixirs, spirit artifacts, and many other spirit-grade valuables, had long been his aspiration.
