Volume 1, Chapter 46: They Are a Perfect Match

Shu Xingruo's heart pounded wildly. "Yes, it really looks like that woman. Have you actually found her?"

Lin Anhe replied, "No, this portrait was found in the police archives by a senior apprentice brother of mine. I'll do my best to help you track her down, but I'm not sure if she's still in the country. If she's left the country, it's going to be very troublesome."

Shu Xingruo sighed. "There's no rush, take your time. It's been so many years anyway."

She continued, "By the way, He Xin is pulling new tricks again—she's playing the suicide card."

Lin Anhe: "Damn, what a total green tea bitch. Did that scumbag Ji come running over like an eager puppy?"

"Yeah, acting like a complete moron."

Lin Anhe said, "She's probably going to extort more money from that dog Ji..."

Xiaoling looked at Jiayu's persistent yet serene face, her bright, sparkling eyes unmoving. It seemed as though everything around them had been sealed in ice, and her slightly parted lips froze instantly in that fraction of a second.

"The power of earth and sand elements makes up over ninety percent of this passage, heavily suppressing all other elemental forces. It would be fine if one were an earth-attribute cultivator herself, but for cultivators of other attributes..." Zhang Sanfeng said with a solemn tone.

Leng Yue finally felt relieved and told him to quickly prepare some nourishing ingredients for Yun Qingqing. While Yun Qingqing was in her postpartum confinement, she would be properly cared for and conditioned by him.

Leaf's commentary was far too scientific—so scientific that it seemed completely detached from worldly affairs. Boss He and He Aiguo burst into hearty laughter upon hearing this, because it was also the first time either of them had ever heard someone explain Feng Shui in such a grandiose and logical manner.

There was no help for it; the number of people Xu Yang could actually deploy was far too few. Apart from arranging for Lu Ye to stay behind and coordinate the overall operations, everyone else—including Feng Ling, Boss Jin, and the several assassins he had subdued—had been dispatched en masse to the Huang family's old residence. With a young master of the Huang family desperately trying to escape, truly no one could spare the attention to deal with him.

Only then did Lord Lian-ce signal the crowd to halt. He had no wish to cause loss of life over this matter; if things blew up too much, it would do no one any good.

"A towering tree catches the wind. Surely you've heard that saying?" For some reason, Luo Qingxue began to worry on Ye Zifeng's behalf. Luo Qingxue knew that in America, Ye Zifeng's trading methods would definitely be considered illegal. Although the securities market wasn't quite that regulated yet, if it attracted the attention of the regulatory authorities, that would be an entirely different story.

Right at the epicenter of that earth-shattering aura, a dark figure hurtled toward the Dark Lord and Long Qing with the velocity of a shooting star! If the Dark Lord's presence was the most steady and unfathomable thing under heaven, then this dark figure's presence was the most violent and unrestrained in the world.

Because the Greater Dian Kingdom had previously used gold to purchase reinforcements, several neighboring countries had also dispatched corresponding troops to assist the Greater Dian Kingdom according to their demands. In the end, those reinforcements sent to fight for the Greater Dian Kingdom had suffered disastrous losses, with only a tiny fraction of their troops managing to escape back to their respective nations.

It was just that Yingchun, the young lady from the Yan family, had never met him, and she had no idea whether Cong'er would take a liking to her, making it rather difficult for her to make a decision.

Inside the office, the three of them remained silent for the moment. Xiao Bohan sat upright in his seat with a cold expression. Just now, he had skillfully played the card of Boss Su, and he believed this would have a certain psychological effect on the two men before him.

The man beside him had regular facial features, a stern gaze, slightly tanned skin, and a remarkably robust build. His muscles strained tightly against his clothes, giving off a powerful visual impact.

The Divine Abyss guarded Dongli City, the Temple of the God of War guarded Xiliang City, and Loyalty Unsurpassed guarded Beihan City. Obviously, as the only one of the four major cities untouched by the three major guilds, Southern Desolation City would inevitably become a battleground for them to infiltrate. Competing for allies and suppressing opposing factions had never ceased here.

According to Yaoyao's words, the drops could be mixed and matched at will. As long as one mastered some relatively advanced techniques, they could freely concoct these droplets, turning them into drugs with different effects—whether hallucinogenic or stimulating—manipulating people's minds and actions.

In the spacious main hall of the official stronghold, only the three biological brothers—Gao Jiting, Gao Dengting, and Gao Anting—remained. They had taken off their coats and were sitting cross-legged around a brazier.

After Gan Liangchen was dismissed due to Wang Zhaoyang's mutiny, Feng Zongchao's Central Battalion forces were incorporated into the Lizhou Garrison Regiment. Consequently, Feng Zongchao abandoned his official post, intending to return to his hometown in Linshui alongside Gan Liangchen.

In another room of the "concentration camp," Char was interrogating Reynard. Unlike the room where Reynard stayed, this one was larger and designed as a meeting room. The conference room, which only had seven seats, was already packed: Haman, Char, Natalie, Delaz, Cado, Lilia, and Reynard.

"Subduing him with strength so that he learns to behave—that is the most effective approach." Having said this, Boss Su fiercely stubbed out his cigar and began pacing back and forth across the office.

With that, ignoring the other researchers, he walked straight up to the computer and began operating it. The other researchers remained silent without offering any obstruction, tacitly approving of their leader's actions.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Long Tianxia instantly felt a flash of absolute clarity in his mind. Evidently, Xiao Long Tianxia had overestimated Yi Tianchen's initial baseline from the very beginning, falling prey to the preconception that "the opponent is an expert." Little did he expect Yi Tianchen to do the exact opposite and pull off a surprise move.

Yet Liu Yihuo hadn't seen anything that caught his eye, nor did he feel anything was suitable for Zhang Xiaoxin, and considering the grade wasn't high enough, he hadn't bought anything.

Moreover, being able to directly awaken sapience in a creature devoid of intelligence, elevate the strength of its primordial spirit, and do so while keeping a creature like Tail completely oblivious to his presence—such a figure must possess unfathomably great power.

Leiming Hong was just about to reject me, but seeing how enthusiastic I was, the words he had on the tip of his tongue were choked back, and he could only let me pull him along.

Earth-shattering impacts echoed endlessly as sparks flew wildly along the mountain path, and massive boulders carrying fierce winds hurtled downward toward Du Rui and the others with the crushing momentum of Mount Tai.
