Chapter 23: Absorbing Energy and Pummeling Po Kong

Seeing the two of them finish examining the material and depart, Zhao Chen quickly downed a few mouthfuls of rice noodles, scanned the QR code to pay, and followed after them.

This was China, not Myanmar, where they could do as they pleased. Since they dared to come here looking for him, they should have been prepared to be hunted in return.

As a veteran highly skilled in jungle warfare, Bo Gang quickly sensed that someone was tailing them. He lowered his voice and spoke into Wen Min’s ear: "The one in the short-sleeved shirt and beach shorts behind us has been following us for ten minutes."

"I noticed long ago." Wen Min tilted her head slightly and let out a cold laugh. Her family hadn't managed to seize control of the Longtang mining district through wealth and charisma alone; they had conquered it with cold steel and real bloodshed.

Zhang Tianyi’s heart skipped a beat. No matter how gullible Sadako might be, he could not reveal the truth. After all, Sadako was an intelligence agent, and she possessed a keen sense for such matters.

The list of names involved too many people; the Emperor dared not strike them all down at once. This much was understandable.

Subsequently, the leader of the Scorpio Organization reported this matter to the Demon, who immediately sought out Li Hong. Li Hong pointed to the continent and explained: "Currently, there are 1.5 billion living beings on this continent, including various magical beasts, killers evolved from marine life, not to mention insects, trees, and so on."

Although this place was not as opulent as the Imperial Palace, it possessed an elegance that spoke to Shi Qingxuan’s refined taste.

Thinking of this, she could not help but sigh. As she looked at Hao Xinghe, a complex expression gradually emerged in her eyes. Since things had unfolded exactly as Yan had predicted, they would have to initiate their backup plan.

"If you don't mind, we can provide you with free room and board," the clergyman explained.

It could be said that ever since Xu Qian began his career, he had slain countless demons and monsters. Now, when the demons of the outside world heard his name, their legs would tremble; in their eyes, he was a god of slaughter.

Her eyelids slowly parted, revealing a pair of eyes that were absolutely worthy of her peerless beauty—inky, shimmering, and capable of evoking the most beautiful of dreams.

If this were truly the case, Lynn had to race against time to reach Loire. Once Cecilia and the others fell into the hands of other factions, rescuing them would become an impossible task.

I could feel every cell in my body pulsing with restlessness, frantically tugging at my tendons, urging me to lift my arms and pull her into my embrace. I could feel every soul within me desperate to break free from its shell, yearning to share with her the entirety of my remaining emotions.

"Good." After seeing his wife, Fan Fangfang—who had been domestically abusing him—brought down, Teacher Tan felt every pore in his body swell with comfort, as if he had consumed a ginseng fruit.

However, he was still too young; he had not expected that the Lawless Zone would fail to reach a cooperative agreement with the Secret Realm.

"Stop thinking about it. Don't forget why Magni sought you out in the first place," the bishop shook his head helplessly, looking visibly distraught.

"Understood, I will telegraph Miaoyu immediately." Su Huimin quickly relayed the Bureau Chief’s orders via radio to Ling Yunpeng, who was far away in Guangzhou.

She turned and left without a hint of reluctance. Lingxiu watched her retreating figure, her eyes slowly narrowing.

Today’s duck was specially prepared and carved right in front of them, served at the peak of its flavor. The difference in quality was instantly apparent.

"That settles it, doesn't it? You didn't leak the matter, so what are you afraid of?" Auntie Awang cast a look of disdain at Awang.

Xiao Mingxiu’s heart felt both pained and cold. At this moment, his mind was in complete chaos; he couldn't think clearly about anything.

The portion of the dish was small, but Mu Qiong had a hearty appetite and, in the end, finished everything on the table.

Sensing Xuan Yue’s salute, Zhang Pingtian made no move to turn around; he simply stood there quietly with his hands behind his back, waiting.

"It's... it's nothing," Gu Ping gritted his teeth, suppressing the fury in his heart as he struggled to maintain a calm facade, forcing a smile.

A barrage of unfamiliar terms struck my heart with a heavy thud. I felt an unbearable curiosity, wanting to rush forward and demand an explanation, but after some thought, I patiently continued to listen.

Upon hearing these words, the Grand Elder’s expression froze. His eyes filled with sorrow, and for a long time, he could not utter a word.

"Reporting to the Captain, we are here to learn, and that requires personal experience, so we must participate in the training!" Revolver said, staring straight ahead.

"Then, what about General Huang Zhong? General Huang is mature and circumspect; he is capable of taking on great responsibilities," Jia Xu suggested, recommending another military commander.

Qin Feng landed and looked with a grave expression at the two people on the imperial carriage. Chao Wendao had also sensed their arrival, but upon seeing that it was Qin Feng leading the team, he did not pay much attention. Although Qin Feng had made a name for himself within the Myriad Spirit Clan, compared to Chao Wendao, he was still far behind.

In order to rescue his disciples, the Arhat Tongtian had no choice but to agree. He then instructed his disciples to carry the fresh water back, while properly burying and performing rites for the twenty fallen warrior monks.

"Being able to recognize one's own mistakes is not a bad thing," a faint voice suddenly sounded.

"Now that things have come to this, Mom won't hide it from you anymore. Three days ago, to save Xiaxia, Revolver was shot in the head, which compressed his memory nerves. Now he doesn't recognize anyone but you. Can the two of you stop this cold war?"

Lin Feng also stepped forward. He had been extremely displeased when Zhuang Jian entered the Land of Spirit Essence earlier, and now, stroking the celadon jade, he said with a hint of envy, "Sour."

The kitchen was the source of the fire; the environment was a world apart from the living room. The walls were covered in burn marks, the stove was still on, and the water in the pot was boiling over, causing the lid to rattle violently.

Qin Geng stepped forward and hoisted the cage. It was truly heavy. After steadying himself, he entered the stairwell, but as he walked, he felt that something was wrong.

Zhang Yuhang’s expression remained unchanged: "I am not worthy of taking action against a beast steeped in blood and riddled with evil."

Qin Geng stepped forward to reveal his identity, and under the reverent gaze of two Spirit Soldiers, he walked into the Spirit Heaven Tower.

Fuling held Su Luoluo tightly in her arms, and Su Yunluo gripped her hand firmly. The group, unable to care about anything else, rushed toward the nearest manor.

Of course, there was a more important reason for this, which was that Long Yi understood Ximen Hai well enough.

Consort Chen seized the opportunity to trample on the Empress and the Great General. She stepped forward to help up Prince Jing, who had blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and as she looked at General Zhao, the malice in her eyes surged uncontrollably.
