Volume 1, Chapter 26: Operation Save the Rich Heir

Fat Dong refused to accept his defeat. He kept opening stone after stone, only to be disappointed time and again. Within a few days, the over one million he had just earned was completely wiped out, yet he had not even caught a glimpse of what jade looked like.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingguan’s tone shifted abruptly. He clapped his hands once, finished his sentence, and turned to leave.

The crystal body trembled slightly as it heard this, its laughter piercing directly into the hearts of the two enraged Light Sovereigns.

"Brother Lin Feng, aren't you and my sister going in yet?" Ning Hua asked with a mischievous grin, her eyes darting toward Lin Feng as if trying to discern the exact nature of his relationship with Mei Wuhua.

After deplaning, Lin Feng, Elder Ning, and Mei Wuhua walked together out of Kunming Airport.

"I can't reach them either. The system prompt says the other party is in a special map and cannot communicate with the outside world!" Zhao Na added from the side.

Naturally, this surge in power did not give Liu Quan any ulterior motives. The logic was very, very simple: if it was this easy to gain such power, how formidable must the veterans Chu Yiyun and Luo Li be? Liu Quan could not even begin to imagine.

The window frames had not yet been covered with paper, and snowflakes drifted in along with the wind. Yu Niang sat up involuntarily, looking at the snow outside. Unknowingly, another year was coming to an end.

Its appearance was like an ordinary horse, except it was black, sported a sharp horn on its head, and even more strangely, instead of a mane, its back was covered in black flames.

However, if someone truly offended her, she would be more than just sharp-tongued; she had plenty of wicked tricks up her sleeve, depending on her mood.

At the same time, the divine puppet possessed combat capabilities; while it could not reach the level of a true sacred beast, it could still employ impressive techniques by channeling the surging power of heaven and earth.

However— "Eh...?" Ellen’s eyes widened in shock. Just as she thought her roundhouse kick had struck Shido, his body glowed and vanished without a trace.

"Although I may not be your match, I, Yamamoto Kazuo, have never been one to be pushed around. If you have the ability, bring it on!" With that, Yamamoto Kazuo braced himself for defense.

...Silence. No one responded to Westcott’s self-introduction, and all four of them wore guarded expressions.

"Let's go. You’d better stay quiet, lest you draw that Black Demon Bear to us," the White Tiger said.

Chu Nantian looked at him coldly, slowly reaching into his robes. When he withdrew his hand, he was holding a pair of coupled steel rings.

If they could successfully stop Jiang Chen, or perhaps eliminate him, they might still have a glimmer of hope for survival.

When he finally reacted, he was absolutely livid. His voice was so thunderous it could have shattered one's eardrums.

Ye Yang glared fiercely at Dongzhi, the rage in his eyes seemingly capable of tearing her apart. Dongzhi couldn't help but shudder.

If those people knew what terrible karma drinking infant wine would bring upon them, would they still drink it?

"This... I recall that when the Monkey King wreaked havoc in the Peach Garden, he wasn't the one who released the Immortal-Bewitching Wine. It was Fairy Zixia who acted on her own to help him; it had nothing to do with that monkey at all!" Zhenyuanzi said.

Having calculated Yu Xiao’s medical records, Ling Zhi, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, was pondering another matter: Lan Rui’s return to school. She had long ago inquired about the date from Lan Rui’s mentor.

Gu Zhen laughed. This disaster was caused by the Old Blind Man. As for opening the entrance to the Demon Realm, he wouldn't dare—unless he was insane.

"It’s fine, just focus on yourself. The lightning tribulation you can withstand is enough to temper your body; it won't be a drop more. Everything else belongs to me," Ziyun said with similar nonchalance.

"I want to see you!" Liu Yuxiao made up his mind. He didn't want to drag things out anymore; he wanted to make a man's decision. He spoke with ironclad resolve, his heart seemingly filled with a heroic spirit.

Su Mufeng’s piercing gaze swept across the martial arts viewing platform... From such a distance, he could only see a dense crowd of faces, but he knew Jin'er must be watching him, worrying about him.

"Linglong, come, let Master take a look. You broke through to the next stage last night? How is this possible?" Linglong’s master, Ying Zhi, inspected her disciple from head to toe, poking and prodding until Linglong couldn't help but giggle.

Big brother Ling Tian went to the shops to collect debts yesterday and hasn't returned yet. As for the second brother, Ling Feng, he seems to have gone to visit an old friend, and no one knows when he will be back.

The effect produced by this "Sword of Shattered Voids" was truly worthy of its name. The entire space fractured along with his strike, peeling away and collapsing like shattered glass or layers of ice. The grasslands and the earth instantly disintegrated and vanished, replaced by a pitch-black void.

The boy opened his eyes and looked around, his gaze finally resting on Fang Jian. His eyes were weak yet filled with confusion as he looked at him.

The reality was indeed so. The golden light emitted by the Heavenly Eye converged on a single point, catching the concealed Great Madness King squarely. She spread her wings, her sharp beak aimed at Meng Fuyao’s head, as she dove down from behind him.
