Volume 1, Chapter 42: Kicking the Doors Open with a Single Kick

When Su An came out to look for his granddaughter, she was nowhere to be found. He asked a few people at the entrance and only then learned that she had been taken away by Li Haixia.

Although he found it strange, he had no idea where to look for her, so he had no choice but to return to the kitchen and continue with his chores.

Su Jinxia followed Li Haixia all the way to the most remote part of the island, where only a few households lived, and they were spaced quite far apart.

"I also heard from that person that this woman is no simple character and has been engaging in some shady business. When I tried to ask for more details, they wouldn't say another word."

"What do you mean by shady?"

"I have a feeling it might be human trafficking. Otherwise, I simply cannot imagine what else could be considered shady."

Soon, they stopped at...

Tong Wanqiu's arrogant attitude made Wen Ruyu feel extremely uncomfortable, yet she dared not show it.

Faintly, the surrounding space seemed to tremble. High up in the sky, winds and clouds surged violently, and the various elements drifting between heaven and earth instantly fell into chaos.

Having given his instructions, Gu Huisheng walked out. Exerting himself with the last of his remaining strength, he flew out of the Su residence and boarded a carriage. Qifeng drove the vehicle, heading straight for the Gu residence.

Upon thinking of this, Qin Xiao stepped out and went directly to find Manor Lord Zhao to explain his purpose. Manor Lord Zhao nodded immediately and summoned all the security guards of the entire building to the entrance of Liu Shuang's room. Unless it was a master of Qin Xiao's caliber, ordinary people would find it impossible to break in.

At that moment, I noticed that Elder Zeng, who had been full of enthusiasm just a moment ago, suddenly dropped his expression, looking as though he didn't want to go home yet. Not only him, but even Huang Yueling, who usually constantly muttered about going home, also seemed somewhat displeased.

When the car ascended to a certain altitude, a virtual road appeared across the windshield ahead.

Yet now, I discovered that these events were completely different from what I had anticipated. Even the things entangled within them were entirely beyond my comprehension, and the time span of these events was unimaginably vast. The masterminds behind these arrangements were far more intelligent than I was.

At this moment, the banquet hall was already bustling with people, gathering all the prominent and influential figures of Tianfeng.

Cheng Cai couldn't help muttering internally, already beginning to calculate how he would collapse to the ground gracefully a moment later.

Xue Ling'er, who at that time was the sovereign of all things in the Heavenly Court, rushed onto the battlefield to reclaim his remains, and even drove the Demon Emperor—whom he had severely injured—back into the dark abyss of the Demon Realm in one fell swoop.

A certain piece inside Yue Lingfeng's heart shattered at Han Qingjue's words. He stood there, opening his mouth, but no sound came forth. He could only gaze desolately at Han Qingjue's back, a profound chill settling over his heart.

"No, don't let your imagination run wild. Nothing happened between them!" Mo Lingyin said indifferently. Hearing Mo Lingyin's words, Mo Linghuan's heart gradually settled, and she let out a soft sigh of relief.

"Hehe, there's just one more heavenly tribulation left, and Sister is about to succeed!" Yimeng's face was wreathed in smiles, and Bu Qingya and the others were similarly beaming with joy.

Just as she was feeling puzzled, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a piercingly strong light flooded in from outside, stinging even her eyes.

He sat in the chair, his face filled with sorrow. Some things were predestined by fate and not something he could decide, yet he could not force others either. If that person could not accept his feelings, he would simply resolve to guard over that person in silence until the very last moment of his life.

In the days that followed, Zhao Tuo made sweeping reforms. Dispatching Li Mu, Lu Qingqing, Ding Feng, and Gao Yanfeng, the four of them moved out and directly uprooted all the forces that the Prince of Pingnan had planted across various parts of Hangzhou. In less than half a month, Hangzhou completely fell under Zhao Tuo's control.

"Alright, whatever you want to see, let's go see it!" Chu Xi grasped her hand tightly and said with doting affection.

The impression Meng Changsheng had left upon them previously was far too deep—powerful, domineering, and iron-fisted. Even when facing the Tianxin Holy Zhai, he showed not the slightest bit of concession, ruthlessly severing Shangguan Yan's arm and forcing Li Shishi to retreat. Facing a man like this, even the usually confident Li Shimin and Li Xiuning could not help but feel a sense of pressure.

Chu Xi patted her gently: "He has been eliminated, but Anier got away." This battle was still not over, he sighed, feeling utterly exhausted, yet that person had still managed to escape.

Everything Qian Xing had learned manifested in combat as intense focus and cold sternness. Much of the time, it indeed carried an aura of desolate and destructive chill.

Seeing Zhang Lang appear before them, not only Chen Jiaojing, but even Zhou Ying suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

"No, but shouldn't we put on an act? Could it be that we are going to deceive even the Patriarch?" Qingyu could not help hesitating.

Yingxuan completely ignored Ziyuan's embarrassed, angry, and aggrieved expression. As he spoke to her, he took out some oiled-paper-wrapped roasted meat and a waterskin from his jade pendant's storage space and placed them beside her.

That sound was growing closer and closer to them. Judging by its frequency, it was neither a final heavy hammer nor a battle drum, but rather the heavy footsteps of some massive creature.

"Everyone, please be seated," the Divine Venerable instructed, gracefully floating to the majestic high-backed throne at the very center.

He had almost misunderstood Cai Yi just now. It seemed that things had not been easy for her during these days, and judging by Li Gui's appearance, he was clearly a good-for-nothing who constantly stirred up trouble.

"Understood! This general wouldn't dare. This general will surely swear allegiance to the Emperor and Her Royal Highness the Princess to the death!" Wuzhu hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.

"Hey, don't go over there!" Taiyang cried out between laughter and tears, spreading his arms. Remembering Changming's earlier action, he withdrew his hands and bent down to pick up the bag on the ground.

In an instant, the piercing, spreading purple radiance acted like a catalytic spark, instantly erupting into a massive sheet of purple flames. The surging, penetrating flames immediately swept madly from Yingxuan's heart, following the vengeful spirit's sharp claws to ravage the spirit in return.

Just as her voice fell, those slender, long legs quickly clamped around Lin Ming's waist, and her arms tightly embraced him.

Liao Qi tilted his head to look at Zhao Zhong outside the car. He held half a cigarette between his fingers, his hair a mess, clearly having not even bothered to comb it. In his anxiety, he occasionally smoothed his hair back with his hand, yet it did little to change his disheveled look.

Speaking of having fun, of course no one would be unwilling. Moreover, Xue Kai's yacht had been docked right at the shore. It was originally scheduled to be cleared away, but considering that there might be special circumstances and government vessels could not be requisitioned for long periods, Gao Hong儒 had kept it.

One must know that after reaching the Viscera Realm, the internal organs become incomparably strong. Once a martial artist reaches this stage, their physical body—both inside and out—becomes formidable in every aspect.

And since he was a PhD graduate from Yale University School of Medicine, wouldn't he crush this quack doctor in a matter of minutes?
