Chapter 139: Joining the Kangcheng Times

Rong Kai was worried about Fan Xiaoyou going to her new workplace alone, so he drove her there himself.

As it happened, Fan Xiaoyou was rather scatterbrained. She had been so delighted yesterday that she had forgotten to ask for the address of her new workplace. Just as Fan Xiaoyou was...

After watching Zhong Ming leave, Leng Xuan immediately went out through the main entrance. Once outside, he heard waves of battle cries coming from the distance. To keep the Ghost King's army from interfering, Ling Xuejiu had personally entered the fray to hold back its assault.

Ye Zanghua's face was dark with anger. He suddenly leapt from the ground, drew his long sword, and charged straight toward Wang Sancai.

Although Zhang Xiao was one of the Four Imperial Princes, he was not arrogant. He understood that winning over subordinates and cultivating relations with those above were equally important. Thus, he still treated Zhang Guang and Zhu San—two men who had once been complete nobodies—with kindness, regarding them as brothers.

Moreover, they now understood why Chang Ming could instruct Yue Fuzhou in mathematical theory and then turn around and instruct them as well. He had already reached a higher level, where all principles were interconnected.

Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Xie Guoqiang gave him an approving glance, feeling greatly consoled. Some doctors might be able to uphold their principles under ordinary circumstances, but when faced with enormous temptation and matters of life and death, could they still preserve a tranquil heart?

Hou Jingru may have grown accustomed to being domineering. She gave Mu Weiping a furious dressing-down and drove him out of bed. As Mu Weiping had no desire to argue with her, he simply gathered up the bedding, lay down on the sofa, and said nothing more. Seeing this, Hou Jingru became even more exasperated. She angrily packed her clothes, stormed out, and returned to her mother's home.

“It really is quite good. This place is no worse than the private clubs on the outskirts of the capital, and your main building is a half-century-old structure. Compared with those newly built places, it has much more authentic character.” Wei Zitong's eyes lit up as well. When he got out of the car, he took a careful look around, then nodded in praise.

“That fellow... He still can't bring himself to make up his mind.” On the city wall, Zhang Yu shook his head and sighed as he watched Leng Xuan's actions. Although Leng Xuan's attacks appeared fierce, he had not taken his opponent's life; he had merely knocked him unconscious.

Xiao Tianci was not about to wait for him to finish staring blankly. Riding the momentum of his punch, he surged forward and finally slammed his fist viciously into the man's face.

Almost all of humanity's ecstatic joy had now converged into a mighty torrent, surging back and forth above the Firmament Continent before plunging deep into the veins of the earth. It resonated with the continent's underlying lifelines, transmitting wave after wave until it finally reached Chang Ming.

At that moment, the sound of approaching footsteps suddenly rang out, causing Jiang Xie and Huang Yue'er to frown at the same time. If an enemy appeared now, either of them could be killed with ease.

The shops in the city stood in rows on opposite sides of the street, their open doors facing one another. During their first two visits, the old man in Daoist robes and his companion had conducted their dealings on the same side. Only the last time had they gone into a shop across the way. The shopkeeper there had noticed their movements and realized that his opportunity had arrived, assuming they were fat sheep ripe for slaughter.

As for fighting Qu Yanxin, a cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm, Yanyun City simply could not summon the slightest enthusiasm.

Xie Gongbao felt that he could not allow the murderer's scheme to succeed. He crawled back into the cave, carried all five bodies to a distant place, and buried them. He then returned to fill in the pit, cleared away every trace, and crawled out of the cave.

Chen Xiao said once again, “Next...” In the following instant, his body moved, and with a sharp whoosh, he transformed into a streak of light that shot toward the distant Heavenly Fiend Supreme, who was fleeing for his life.

Lu Shanmin paused, then said, “I have someone I suspect, but he probably wasn't the murderer, so I don't think there's any need to tell you.”

With the speed granted by the Starcloud Divine Movement Formula, Yanyun City climbed for three full hours. Everywhere he looked was a sea of gold, yet the parasol tree seemed endless, and its crown remained nowhere in sight. The summons in his heart, however, grew ever stronger. The fiery phoenix markings on his chest had turned a vivid scarlet, as though they were about to come alive.
