Volume 1 Chapter 40: Reap What You Sow

"So, it's Young Master Zheng."

"Young Master Zheng truly has a discerning eye. This is a one-of-a-kind treasure in the entire world; buying it is a bargain."

"Young Master Zheng is certainly generous!"

As Zheng Shaojie spoke, people began to flatter him, their attitudes a stark contrast to how they had treated Chu Lingtian moments before.

Chu Lingtian looked at Zheng Shaojie. "It seems the item those two were after at this auction must be this Supreme Bone."

No matter how profligate Zheng Shaojie might be, he wouldn't spend a billion on this thing; it must be that the two poison masters needed it. If his guess was correct, once this Supreme Bone was ground into powder and crafted into a vessel, it could contain poisonous creatures at the level of the King of the Five Poisons.

As Chu Lingtian suspected, the black-robed old man...

...I am distressed. I am distressed by whether I owed you in my past life or if I was shortchanged by you, that I should be pestered by you in this life.

The Yue Family Army had always maintained strict discipline. Although the two soldiers were terrified, upon seeing this skeleton warrior give them a military salute, they reflexively returned the salute. It was only after doing so that they realized what they had done—they had actually saluted a skeleton.

"Then I will use absolute power to defeat you," the black man said, finally choosing his most proficient attack style.

Although the probability was very low, if the Prairie Alliance truly possessed several Domain-level experts, they might have already launched a sneak attack on Wumu Pass last night. However, Earl Yue Linhai could not afford to ignore the possibility and had to prepare for the worst.

"Can you stop constantly bringing up air crashes? If I were on the same plane as you, I would definitely kick you off from ten thousand meters in the air first, just to save you from nagging," Li Feng said, rolling his eyes at the domineering C.

Just then, a security patrol passed by, drawn by the drunkard's screams. Even if Qiao Chuching wanted to leave now, it was too late.

"Who is it?" Hua Zhenqiang demanded furiously. He treated Ye Fei like his own son; how could he tolerate anyone trying to hunt him down? Although Hua Zhenqiang was over forty, his skills had not dulled. The 'Grim Reaper' of the past was still there, and even Ye Fei had to focus entirely to find an opportunity to defeat him.

"Is that so? This is my work uniform; I just got off work and haven't changed yet. Let's go for a walk! You don't have any daily necessities yet; I'll take you to buy some," Jiang Ling said with a happy smile.

This punishment was not considered severe. Xinyi felt that although the old Madam of the Mu family maintained the dignity of the head of the household, her son, Mu Fangjin, remained the master of the house. Since she had been brought thousands of miles from Jizhou by him, she naturally had to leave some face for her son.

"Hard to say..." Father Yang sighed deeply. He had no idea what his son's current situation was.

"Rock-paper-scissors, or coin toss?" Gao Shou generously left the choice of the duel method to his opponent.

At this time, the child was just over four months old and was beginning to have conscious smiles. With Wuyunna teasing him, Hongzhang’s eyes crinkled into a crescent shape as he laughed.

"Thud!" With a single punch, Aotian destroyed the antique stone door, and in an instant, dust filled the air.

"I won't. Let's finish our business first. After that, anything is fine," Xue Tao insisted stubbornly.

"Who do you think is the prime suspect, and what does the Software Alliance plan to do next?" The reporters had no choice but to change the subject.

Over the next half-month, Liu Xiao kept the entire Hai City government in a state of chaos. The anticipated cyberattacks never arrived, but all the civil servants could recite the network security guidelines backward.

Chen Yi listened, feeling extremely shocked. He never expected that so many of this year's events were related to the technology leaked from the main sect.

Whether they were a match for the Bashan Old Demon or not, wouldn't they know the result if they just had a real fight?

Tong Jing was in her room changing clothes. She was going out because Bai Yang had returned to Hangzhou, and she wanted to see him. She hadn't seen him for a week, and she missed him.

Inside this huge flower bud floating in the night sky, a divine light shimmered, brilliant and mysterious.

That was possible. In Hua Yue's memory, the monsters he encountered didn't have such intelligence. Generally speaking, when monsters encountered humans or other monsters different from themselves, they would attack directly. Not all monsters were like this, but it was true for the majority.

Ye Ranyan scanned through it and suddenly laughed, flattering Beiming Ziye a few times.

She had spent the whole afternoon wandering around the courtyard but hadn't seen Jiang Haochen. Xia Lingqiao was puzzled; how could this person be nowhere to be found?

Fortunately, Yang Xiong knew medicine. After a year of treatment and training, Yang Tianlang finally learned to speak and became a normal boy.

Although Ye Qin really didn't want to agree with this statement, there was no other way; that was the current situation.

"Palace Master, we have something we need your help with," Yue Qinghuan said straight to the point as she walked into the pavilion.

Dongfang Wuhen slashed directly at Xian Jie. Xian Jie had no choice but to take a horsetail whisk from the void and flick it lightly, deflecting the halberd. Dongfang Wuhen brushed past Xian Jie and immediately turned back to strike again.

Waves crashed heavily against the beach, and seawater splattered everywhere, nearly splashing onto them.

In the courtyard, Shi Shilang crawled up with a groan, unable to comprehend what kind of bizarre light orb that was. It could actually devour the divine light of a God-Exterminator, amplify its own power, and then destroy everything, making it impossible for him to defend effectively.

Di Chongxiao said, "I couldn't ask for more. The Beast Venerable is proud, and I am not inferior. Let's use my most mysterious divine skill, 'Jade Dew Reflecting Clouds,' to see how powerful this unified spirit technique is." He conjured four spirit-light lotus seeds in his hand and swallowed them.

After Wu Kai issued his orders, the researchers on the destroyer immediately began working tirelessly. Groups of data were transmitted to the bridge via the communication system, while Deputy Director Xi, who was beside Wu Kai, and several staff members carefully recorded the data.

"Everything depends on Qiuling. Don't worry, she has never let us down," Chang Zheming said in a low voice. But even if the plan succeeded, they couldn't hold on for much longer. Now, all their hope was pinned on Zhang Fei.

"Is that so? Forget it. Come back with me first. This matter is very strange. I'll go back and tell Brother Zhang, then we'll make other plans," Yang Lan said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Kai felt as if he had heard a heavenly decree. Beside himself with joy, he grabbed a bath towel to wrap around Lin Yuxuan's body and carried her out of the bedroom.

He was not only injured by Zhang Fei but had also used the most fundamental energy within his body, which was a massive drain on him. Fortunately, he used a secret technique to escape the battlefield at that time; otherwise, he might not have gotten away.

Following Lu Jinsong's death, a tall and beautiful figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes. This person was none other than Ding Qiuling, who possessed the ability to turn invisible.

Kong Rong and Zhao Ge exchanged a look and thought, "So it is as we expected." Kong Rong nodded, and Zhao Ge shouted to Li Hu under the city wall, "Very well. My Governor invites General Li into the city for a detailed discussion." He immediately ordered his men to open the city gates to let Li Hu enter.
