Volume 1 Chapter 47: Confrontation

With the weapon-augmenting talismans, the Heavenly Artifact Workshop became a bustling scene of intense activity as all the weapons across the entire Heavenly Artifact Directorate were re-forged and tempered.

Every night, Li Zhian led men to the sealing grounds to hunt down malevolent entities. Cheng Xi overheard Jiang Boyu mention that the heads of the four great academies had gathered at the seal to reinforce it properly, preventing more monsters from breaching the borders of Tianshuo to wreak havoc.

These matters were still distant from Cheng Xi's daily life. Once the Du residence was repaired, she moved back in.

Li Zhian was still leading teams in combat against the monsters, a subject that captured the attention of the entire Golden Capital. On the second day after her return to the Du household, she heard that the Demon-Suppressing Pavilion had also received imperial orders to head to the sealing grounds.

Cheng Xi knew this was because the Empress Dowager saw that the general trend was settling and intended to...

Before the maid could even finish crying out for mercy, she was dragged away. Princess Yuanhan lost all appetite for her meal, and Jasmine immediately instructed someone to wrap the shattered Buddha statue in cloth and dispose of it.

It turned out to be a man in his twenties with a square face and thick, dark, downturned eyebrows that gave him an intensely ferocious and menacing air.

After all, Jing Mingcheng possessed an extraordinary status, and this banquet was held in the form of an evening party where everyone could dance, sing, and play the zither.

"This place is guarded day and night; it's impossible for anyone to sneak in. The servants who enter to clean and tend to the flowers are also strictly bound by rules, so they shouldn't touch anything inside," Zhu Ke answered intently. Whenever her master encountered such matters, he was far more meticulous than usual.

The nascent soul now possessed a handsome appearance, bearing almost no resemblance to its former self—truly a peerless and dashing man.

Mingjing nodded slightly. Every head of the family had a trusted confidant; Long Qiang actually thought he could bribe the elderly servant in black—his defeat was hardly unjust.

Because they still had important business on this trip, they did not return to the Carefree Villa, but instead headed to Shengjing.

That person raised an eyebrow and said, "Then offense is taken!" With a wave of his hand, his subordinates began hurling objects down into the valley.

Song Wanyi's heart began to flutter with panic, a lingering sense of foreboding washing over her. She was forced into a vehicle, and no matter how she shouted or resisted, her captors maintained expressionless faces.

Shen Yitian suddenly tossed his phone aside, rolled out of bed, accepted the cup of coffee, and took a leisurely sip. Only then did a smile touch the corners of his peach-blossom eyes.

Lin Xi shook her head, her fatigued brows and eyes betraying a hint of stubbornness, while her voice remained clear and ethereal, entirely devoid of any trace of exhaustion.

As sisters-in-law, their standpoints and circumstances were identical. She should exercise some restraint right now to avoid deepening Lady Ge's heartache.

Returning home in the dark, Cheng Xu was waiting in the living room. The phonograph nearby was playing a currently popular tune, creating a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere as if he weren't specifically waiting for them at all.

Ruan Bai was furious. In his view, this was trouble stirred up by Yang Xiyu, which ultimately implicated Ruan Xinh. The Yang family was bound to give them an explanation.

"As for the programs we program from now on, let's try to remove their ability to alter their own appearances as much as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid the later workload in the Underworld will become increasingly difficult," Qin Wan deliberated before putting forward her suggestion.

"How wonderful." Listening along, Yu Qiuping found a smile naturally spreading across his face. He had watched Tokugawa Nobuyasu since he was still in swaddling clothes, and all along, he had regarded him as his own nephew. Being able to save his destiny and watch him live a happy life brought genuine joy to Yu Qiuping's heart.

The contract stipulated that members of the Alex family could not directly or indirectly retaliate against Yue Bing over that incident, but it did not restrict them from competing openly and fairly. A surge of cruelty welled up in his heart, as if he could already foresee Yue Bing's miserable end.

When Qin Wan returned to the mortal realm, it was already afternoon. Qin Feiyang and Zhang Qin had both just woken up. Qin Feiyang had only requested two days of casual leave, but upon hearing that Zhang Qin was going to take Wanny to the commercial street for shopping, he dropped all the work at hand and insisted on coming along.

Of course, there were those who acted willfully on their own, much like Gu Luan rescuing Gu Wei, but on the whole, most matters followed this pattern.

Seeing this, the army of immortals moved out one after another. Led by the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, he charged to the very forefront with the celestial generals and soldiers of heaven, engaging the negative entities in fierce combat.

"Xuejun is right, Brother Majun, you cannot leave. I've already been so happy to be your member for this short time," An Zaishuo said, quickly darting his glance aside.

"Alright, remember what I said, you may leave." With those words, Luo Yue raised her hand and made a slight flick, mirroring the exact gesture she had made when Yu Hao first met her and she waved him away, instantly transporting him to the sixth tier.

Outside the elevator, a massive crowd of media reporters had gathered, countless cameras and flashbulbs at the ready. When Cao Yue stepped out of the elevator, he was greeted by a wave of flashing lights that momentarily blinded him.

Furthermore, this album was truly of exceptionally high quality. Among its five songs, three became major hits, winning over a vast number of casual listeners and generating massive public purchases.

The cavalry heading north together, to demonstrate mutual trust and ensure no schemes were played behind closed doors, saw Zhang Feng, Tian Yu, and Budugen each lead only dozens of elite personal bodyguards as they advanced together, facilitating joint command.

After walking into the restroom, Cao Yue locked the door behind him. Instead of relieving himself, he simply turned on the faucet and splashed water on his face.

In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes stared intently at Gao Fei, the gaze filled with both anticipation and anxiety.

Inside the pig farm, the growth rate of the pigs was quite gratifying. Most already weighed seventy to eighty catties, and the survival rate was remarkably high.

"What should we do?" Muttering to himself, Yan Ming once again unleashed his spiritual energy, blanketing Dragon Rock City and yielding unexpected discoveries.

One could say that the higher the livestream level, the greater the income. Under such circumstances, the only way to elevate one's standing as a broadcaster was undoubtedly by securing a spot on the homepage of Doulong to increase exposure.

Yet, even so, they remained expressionless, guarding the capital with calm and suppressed fervor.

"Oh, brother Wu. Why bother lowering yourself to Sun Tao's level?" Another cash transport guard quickly stepped in to calm Wu Ling down.
