Chapter 24: Give an Inch and Take a Mile

The news of Hua Changxi’s brawl in the storeroom spread throughout the Servants' Hall in less than a day. Working in the Servants' Hall involved repetitive, heavy manual labor; with no entertainment and constant underlying tension, even a simple fight became the focal point of everyone's attention and a topic of conversation to break the monotony of their lives.

"Hua Changxi, you didn't take my previous warning to heart at all. Not only did you pick a fight at the Sixth Bureau, but you even ran to the storeroom..."

The map was clear and detailed, making it easy to read. Lei Jun located Autumn Mountain Manor and began searching within a ten-mile radius, finding no abandoned factories nearby. Extending his search further outward to the east, about twenty miles away, he reached the outskirts, where he found three abandoned factories.

From beginning to end, the entire spectacle lasted less than a quarter of an hour. The gale and dark clouds dispersed, and the thunder, lightning, and torrential rain all vanished.

Jie scanned his surroundings; there were no more issues. Of course, there hadn't been any to begin with, but he had simply wanted to prevent any accidents. Although this continent had regained its vitality, it was a remnant of the ancient era from the distant past.

Suddenly, he noticed a mark in the painting that seemed familiar. He thought of the jade seal in his pendant, pulled it out to compare, and found it fit perfectly with one half of the mark in the painting.

These thoughts flashed through Old Tie’s mind in an instant. Without further hesitation, he flipped his palm, and a jade talisman appeared in his hand.

"He looks decent enough, but his strength is too weak. He gives off a sleazy vibe, and his mental state seems a bit unstable," Princess Lingzhu remarked, scrutinizing Wen Xiaoxian with a critical eye.

The other team members straightened up immediately, waiting for Lei Jun’s next mission. A task that could make their captain this cautious was certainly no simple matter.

As the Chi Dragon rose, its compound eyes never left the Emperor’s every move. The moment the Emperor unleashed his spell, the Chi Dragon swerved, narrowly avoiding the strike. Realizing he was no match for the Emperor, the beast dared not linger; it turned and fled, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

His eye for talent was sharp; he had seen through it at a glance. Then again, as a supreme master of the physical tempering path, that was only to be expected.

Upon arriving at the luxury villa, Jin Xiaotian called Jin Yao outside, leaving Liu Yueru inside to handle the arrangements.

The hundred-meter-tall blood-red divine dragon unleashed a beam of crimson energy, while the golden divine dragon emitted a dazzling golden energy beam from its maw. Dozens of spikes flew from the shell of the Nether Profound Tortoise, each expanding several times in size as they soared through the air.

"Damn you, Long Chuan! Is your Long family trying to set yourselves against our Sacred Mountain?!" Gou Chongtian was utterly infuriated. Just as everything was about to succeed, Chu Xihua and Long Chuan had returned, and the situation had swung entirely in favor of Mu Chen and his companions.

Chen Hao quietly took the phone, smiled faintly, and slammed it hard onto the ground.

"Do you want to know why you were able to achieve the unity of man and Dao?" Tianlin offered a mysterious smile, intending to keep Jin Yao in suspense.

The mountain road was steep with sharp turns and slippery from the moisture. Xiao Han drove with utmost care, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

At that moment, Chu Yun suddenly recalled the original owner of this body, and his heart surged with immense excitement.

Using the Twelve Forms of Tendon Transformation as a foundation and the secret art of the Iron Shirt as the backbone, he integrated lower-level hard-body techniques like the Iron Head, Iron Arm, and Iron Leg skills. From this, he synthesized a martial art that surpassed the Iron Shirt many times over.

Once the subject came up, Gu Xinyao rattled on and on; it seemed she had been feeling quite stifled at home.

The Emperor’s Platform Demon-Suppressing Stele had always been considered invincible in Long Teng’s heart. However, that changed after he witnessed the stele in the Great Marsh Forbidden Land being shattered by the dying blow of the Fusang Tree demon.
