Volume 1, Chapter 49: Forced Broadcast

The door of the village chief's house was slammed heavily once again, and the dog inside barked incessantly.

"Who is it? Who on earth is it? Are you courting death? Have you forgotten all manners?" Chen Jinhai strode out in a fit of rage. Lately, had his authority waned? First Ye Cheng rebelled, and now someone dared to come and bash his door down. Damn it, he had to teach them a lesson.

The moment he opened the door, Chen Jinhai's expression changed drastically, and he instinctively took a step back. Standing outside were Ye Cheng and Xiaohu, both wearing anxious expressions. It was these two blockheads again—the ill-mannered blockheads.

The last time, they had actually dared to brandish a shovel at him, which had genuinely frightened Chen Jinhai.

"Second brother, what are you trying to pull? You've even broken the door!" Chen Jinhai...

"Then let's meet and talk in person! The Vermilion Bird Marrow-Cleansing Pill depends on one's constitution rather than the quality of the pill itself. The proportion of the Vermilion Bird's primordial blood is the crucial factor," Qin Ruo said.

Shan Xiongxin was utterly disappointed in Zhai Rang. Ignoring whatever Zhai Rang was saying, he stood his ground without moving a muscle, simply wanting to see how Bing Yuanzhen was going to be dealt with by Qin Qiong. Xu Maogong calmly sat down and began to sip his wine slowly, entirely unconcerned with the affairs surrounding him.

In the blink of an eye, the Immortal Venerable Terrace transformed into the Yellow Crane Tower, complete with carved beams and flying eaves, to the extent that the mountain contours and watercourses in front of the Yellow Crane Tower were simultaneously revealed.

The Liao soldiers, watching Zhao Yun approach, were so terrified that their wits left them. Daring not to offer any more resistance, they scattered in panic.

Although Lin Feng's current comprehension and manipulation of the origin power had reached the preliminary standards of a tier-six Awakened—allowing him to alter its properties to a certain extent—referencing and studying actual physical objects could only be beneficial for improving his comprehension and operational techniques in this area.

"Then listen carefully. Your boss asked me to tell you: Commit no evil, practice all good, purify your own mind—this is the teaching of all Buddhas," Chief Constable Zhang said indifferently.

Prefect Chen also thought of this possibility. Had things not deteriorated to such a bitter state with Lin Xiaoxiao, based on their prior acquaintance and his own status, asking her for a maidservant would certainly have posed no problem at all.

"Right, I heard someone was looking for me. Where is he?" Ignoring the silent crowd, Chief Constable Zhang continued to ask nonchalantly.

"Rebel Tao! I will never let you capture Mayi. Never!" Sima Yi gritted his teeth, continuously encouraging himself to hold on.

Kim Tae was far from finished after giving his orders; he immediately commanded his men to fetch a luxurious carriage, clearly prepared for Chenxi.

Had the young Fog Clan member heard Ning Feng say that, he might have died of anger. Yet all he knew was that Ning Feng looked at him with an expression of intense reluctance before charging straight toward him. There even seemed to be a trace of disdain on his face, which made the young Fog Clan member feel deeply aggrieved.

While continuously explaining that the actions of those elders had nothing to do with him, he desperately tried to pledge his loyalty one by one. Melissa detested this behavior, but absorbing them into her ranks was still a necessity.

"Hey! You there! Who told you to meddle around here? These are all Aunt Jiang's treasures; what will you use to compensate if you break them?" She walked over to the flower bed and shouted at Bai Xia inside.

Naturally, for a product launch of such a massive scale, it would hardly feature just a single operating system update; there were plenty of appetizers leading up to it.

Glancing sideways at Xiang Shaolong, whose entire skeleton had been shattered, he furrowed his brow slightly and casually unleashed a stream of Five Elements genuine Qi to encase him, preventing him from plummeting to his death.

In truth, Ning Feng was indeed rather captivating at that moment. Sitting quietly in the front row, he held a lit cigarette between his fingers without taking many puffs, simply holding it. On his handsome face, his eyes gazed straight ahead, yet they were filled with a profound depth entirely unfitting for his youth.

Amidst the churning black clouds that filled the sky, the darkness gradually dissipated, revealing a star-studded night sky. Had it not been for the range of the tremors and violent gales leaving the tribe in absolute ruins, people might have believed nothing had just happened at all.

At the center of the palace stood a long table bearing a high-definition magic map of Ionia. Through the power of light magic, all the topography of Ionia, as well as the situation of Noxus within the region, was projected above the map.

Upon hearing this, Mother Ye's face turned instantly pale, and the last remaining shred of hope in her heart completely collapsed.

Jiang Zhilin's emotions gradually subsided, and his train of thought slowly cleared as he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Zhou Wei, in particular, displayed an identity of extraordinary unusualness, as could be seen from Ninth Master's attitude toward him—the humility Ninth Master showed in his presence was entirely from the heart.

After finishing his breakfast, Shao Lingheng began discussing today's scenes with the director, while Qian Xing finally found a moment of leisure.

Mira was right; the moment Li Hong arrived before the two of them, she knew that the Will of Heaven and Earth was playing tricks. She was furious. The Will of Heaven and Earth had challenged her bottom line time and time again; Li Hong could no longer tolerate its presence. Yet she was somewhat torn: if she were to eradicate the Will of Heaven and Earth right now, the cosmic rules would inevitably collapse into paralysis.

Jia Xu's eldest son, Jia Mu, currently followed his father, caring for his daily life as a commoner without official rank. After all, Jia Xu was approaching sixty, and his health was not what it used to be, requiring family to tend to him close by.

When the day finally came for Robin to roam the world freely and travel across the globe, she might very well feel that this world had begun to restrict her. She would wish to escape this realm, to behold other worlds, or to witness what kind of universe lay beyond the heavens.

Although unhappy, he held few complaints, for he had already confirmed that Liran was most likely safe just like him. As long as he endured for another month, he would be able to leave Kanglong smoothly.

When Feng Timu mentioned earlier that she was going to host a charity gala tonight, could it be the very same one Ming Wanli had spoken of?

Tossing out two bags of check-in-acquired dog food, he was just about to send a bullet comment to mock them when the screen stuttered and displayed "Loading..." Promptly, he began switching network lines.

Fan Lei had his head forced down, kneeling in the corner of the wall. His arms were wrenched forcibly behind his back, and cold manacles were locked onto his wrists.

At that moment, Wu Song had also erupted into action. With a wave of his hands, several junior military officers of the Palace Guard were sent crashing to the ground.

Though Sun Zhuo failed to successfully complete the challenge this time, statistics resembling a quadruple-double—aside from blocked shots—were quite straightforward for him in all other aspects. He believed that accomplishing this challenge and earning a special training card fragment was only a matter of time.

On the other side, the middle-aged man of the Opening Sun realm who had accompanied the young man perceived the unfavorable situation and instantly moved to intercept, neutralizing the force of the Exploding Tiger Fist before its shadow could strike the youth.
