Volume One, Chapter 49: "Want a Bug Detector? Here's One with High Security!"

I spent this night outside the cave. The wind was cold, but fortunately my skin was thick and tough, so I didn't mind it at all. I wondered how she was sleeping inside, and thought about taking the begged coat to cover her as a blanket, but figured she would most likely just burn it to ashes, so I gave up the idea.

Yet, in the end, they still chose to leave, abandoning the land their ancestors had inhabited for generations. This proved that they ultimately believed their homeland was no longer safe, and that the risks of staying put and "waiting for death" far outweighed the dangers of wandering about aimlessly without any support.

"Hand them over. Return all the Sky-Yao Hemp you won from the bets back to me," Qu Xuanfeng and Jiang Zi'e demanded like creditors, tracking down the outer disciples who had just acquired the Sky-Yao Hemp after losing their bets with Liu Tuo.

Hearing this tone, Fang Yeming’s expression changed instantly. He was just about to say something, but it was already too late. Qi Yu turned his head to look at that person, stretched out a hand, and the man was instantly sucked in, landing right in Qi Yu’s grasp.

To the victor go the spoils; at least the Company had defeated them fair and square, and had never brutally killed any members of their family. Moreover, if they wanted to take revenge on those who had betrayed their compatriots, they had to rely on the Company. Therefore, by that very evening, Kent received reports that both families had fully agreed to join the Company entirely.

Crouched atop the city wall, Linlang’s crimson eyes shot forth a mysterious yellow light, compressed and condensed from true qi, striking fiercely at the flying carriage soaring far away. However, Shangguan Ling'er’s movement technique was exceptionally superb, and she successfully fled into the desolate mountain forests.

I am quite fragile-hearted. Every single comment and every single expression of love from you can make me very happy for a long time, while a single word of hatred can plunge me into low spirits for ages. So please shower me with praise; who knows, if I am happy and in a good state, I might just update an extra chapter!

Inside Liu Yi’s body, like wisps of blue smoke rising, the cooling sensation of the green dots and the warm current of the Profound Heaven Snow Lotus continuously intersected and neutralized each other. In the end, the color of the green dots faded slightly, while the medicinal power of the Profound Heaven Snow Lotus petal that Liu Yi had ingested was completely exhausted.

With a sharp clatter, a teapot was violently smashed onto the jade and glazed tile floor, shattering into pieces with tea splashing everywhere.

"If I remember correctly, the territory of the Undead King is at least tens of thousands of li away from here. How could he possibly come to this place? And furthermore, leading such a massive undead army!" The Undead Marquis was on full alert, gathering together with Lei Yu, Yao Rao, and the others.

Thus, Hongjun changed the subject, continuing from where Daoist Minghe had left off: "Originally, there should have been nine sages between heaven and earth, and my disciples occupy eight of them."

When he had plenty of cash on hand, he would place fewer advertisements, and the interest on investments would also be lower. But whenever the semi-annual principal and interest repayments to clients rolled around, newspaper advertisements would become almost omnipresent, and the interest rates offered would be astonishingly high.

Consequently, Shakyamuni Buddha and other Buddhist disciples also hurried down to the mortal realm, rushing toward the Southern Bright Volcano.

However, he could only suppress his anger because Lang Junping held a trump card in his hand.

Yet how could she know that as he walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a dashing air, it was as if he had been blinded by wind and sand, and inexplicable liquid fell from the corners of his eyes.

Even so, his eyes were opened to a whole new world. Qu Wushuang couldn't help but secretly wonder: if he were in Baishuiguang's shoes, he simply couldn't imagine how he would cope with such a torrential, mercury-like sword technique.

Situ Lie could no longer remember how many times he had beaten back the enemy's attacks. When the enemy's assaulting soldiers finally retreated completely, Situ could no longer hold on and collapsed with a thud into a pool of blood. Several of his personal guards wanted to come over and support him, but after swaying unsteadily for a couple of times, they finally collapsed powerlessly onto the ground.

"Help the Zhang family fight for the position of City Lord? That sounds nice, but if the Wang family were to seize the position of City Lord, they wouldn't spare our Jiang family; if the Zhang family takes it, they certainly won't either," Jiang Suyan could not help feeling a surge of anger. The Zhang family’s scheming was truly calculating.

With a loud shout, Yuan Sen’s face turned crimson. Concentrating all his strength in his left arm, his left hand suddenly lunged forward, assaulting Jiang Chen’s legs.

Afterward, no matter what that man was saying over there, Lele acted as if she heard nothing at all, continuing to chat and laugh with us while eating, completely too lazy to pay him any mind. Later on, it was still that man who had to pull him away to eat.

She briefly checked and typed in Chinese characters using her mobile phone to tell me that Lao Piao was fine, just too weak and his body hadn't recovered yet. He should wake up in a little while, but his high fever hadn't broken yet, and he needed to be given some more fever-reducing medication.

"What is going on here?" The three of us sat in awkward silence for a long time before Wang Tiancheng finally sighed, walked over to a worker squatting on the roadside with his head in his hands, and asked quietly.

Naturally, one had to hold a few more layers of respect for a stout fellow like Cheng Fang, who held his ground in the Thirteen Mountains and ignored the encirclement of the Eastern Tatars.

"How the hell should I know? Otherwise, I'll just let loose a full magazine at them first," Lao Piao said, setting up his gun and preparing to fire at any moment.

Next, into this dead-silent, perilous deep mountain, batches of cultivators arrived one after another, all hailing from ancient orthodox lineages and renowned as peerless figures who astounded their eras.
