Chapter 136: Damn Ma Yulian! What on Earth Has She Done?

Wang Xiuhua was left standing there, dumbfounded. It took her quite a while before it occurred to her that she should go find Ma Yulian. No matter what, Ma Yulian would never stand by and watch her only eldest son go to prison.

The stone chamber was small, spanning about ten zhang in circumference. It was completely empty, save for a stalactite in the very center that shimmered with flowing light, dripping blood-red liquid from its tip at intervals—a sight that chilled the marrow.

Balotelli was under tight surveillance by Liverpool defenders Matip and Lovren. Of the two, Matip stood at one meter ninety-four, and Lovren at one meter eighty-eight. Caught in a pincer move by them both, Balotelli was, by all accounts, at an absolute disadvantage.

An invisible shroud of terror enveloped them. One body after another collapsed, each dying in the exact same manner as those before: faces twisted in fear. It was this specific look of terror that made their deaths all the more chilling.

In that instant, Du Yan even had the illusion that he could hear the thrumming of his own arteries, the sound of his blood rushing becoming crystalline and clear.

It was a tall man, wearing a black hat and a black, high-collared trench coat that concealed him completely.

As the mists of Jiuhua dispersed, many players were surprised to discover that, compared to the main city map of Qiantang, Jiuhua seemed much better suited for early-game development.

Gu Junyi’s eyes narrowed, his naturally cold face darkening with a hint of gloom. His gaze was like that of an enraged beast, radiating a light that seemed ready to devour men.

After everyone had spent a long while laughing and chatting together, Zhang Tianyi told them to look after the house, as he had to be heading back.

"You two carry on, don't mind me," Li Can said with a wave of his hand. Regardless of whether they could understand him, he turned his gaze toward the ball of electricity.

Clearly, his rage had reached such an extreme that his soul was on the verge of dissipating from sheer fury.

The man beside him had also reached the level of a Source Emperor. Although he was only at the first tier of the Source Emperor realm, he was a renowned figure within Star Forest City—none other than the Great Elder of the Chu family.

Zhang Juzheng’s brows knit together sharply. The phrase "pointless tossing and turning" had come from the new Minister of Colonial Affairs, Ma Ziqiang. Although this gentleman sat in a position created by reform, he had no fondness for it whatsoever; in a single word, he dismissed the whole endeavor as nothing more than futile chaos.

Furthermore, the popularity of computers had risen rapidly over the past two years. Spending a massive fortune to develop an offline market ahead of schedule was, in truth, not worth the cost. With the development of the internet, these offline users would sooner or later become online users, and the offline agency network would gradually lose its utility.

"We shouldn't be so extreme. The best way is to spend some money to bring in technicians from abroad to guide us. Didn't we do quite well with the mobile phone screen research before?" Hang Yu said.

The one leading the group was naturally Daoist Yuyang. His cultivation was the highest among them, having reached the fifth stage of Qi Refining, while the others were mostly at the third and fourth stages—all of them independent cultivators.

Just as the people in the township were secretly vying for power, an unexpected deputy township head was suddenly parachuted in.

Moreover, it was stated that as long as they sought treatment, if it truly proved impossible to save the patient, no trouble would be sought with the physician.

At this moment, although everyone was terrified, since they had already arrived and taken action, there was no turning back.

Ling Jing’s eyes were filled with hatred as she stared at Wang Hao, who lay on the ground like a dead dog. The light sword in her hand remained pressed against his throat.

Qin Fangguan was in the middle of speaking with Wu Yu and had her back to Ma Erya and Fang Zhongyong. She was startled by the sudden interjection, though Wu Yu turned to see Fang Zhongyong approaching and politely exchanged pleasantries with him.
