Chapter 35: Hijacking the Cargo

At first, Boss Copper Hammer’s phone was unreachable, but finally, Junjie received a call from him.
"Knowing you feel this way puts my mind at ease," Brother Dong nodded. He had insisted on speaking with Junjie before he rushed off to meet Achao Baozi, fearing that Junjie might act on impulse and fall into the trap of those with ulterior motives.
Now that the mistake had already been made, if they failed to bring Xuanyuan Yichen to the competition arena, not even Lady Gui’s protection would save him; he would surely meet the same fate as Eunuch Li.
Seeing his sincerity, Qiyun had no choice but to accept. They called for Luying and the servants from the estate, and the group hurriedly loaded their luggage onto the carriages.
Just moments ago, when Feng Minzhi grabbed the bowl, he had used his fingers to mix "Soft-Bone Fragrance" and Earth Origin Power into the wine. He then shattered the bowl and secretly channeled his energy to scatter the drugged wine onto everyone.
Seeing him shake his head, Shuyuan grew even angrier and reached out with her other hand: "You still won't admit it? Go aside and reflect on yourself!" She pushed him away with such force that, in her rage, she nearly stumbled herself.
In other words, if Junjie wished, he could take Du Jiaqi’s life at any moment.
Shuyang let out an angry shout and grabbed a stool, nearly raising it to strike Lu Ziqian, but Ziwei coldly stopped him. Meanwhile, the foolish child Bao'er was stunned with fear; his eyes welled with tears, and he pursed his lips in grievance and terror, yet he never managed to cry out loud.
Upon hearing of the arrangements Tuoba Tao had made for her brother, Qiyun felt comforted. However, her thoughts shifted to that bloody tragedy and the two children who had perished in the sea of fire, and she could not help but feel deeply saddened.
He felt nothing; he hadn't sensed the footsteps of the newcomer. Such a silent approach was highly unusual, especially given his increasingly sensitive hearing, which had undergone a powerful transformation since he reached the Golden Core stage.
Jiang Yang stared at Ye Tushen’s back, her breathing shallow as she feared being caught watching him.
Sensing the cultivators closing in behind him, Su Mu swallowed a Spirit Berry, moved in a blur, and flew off again toward Wubei Slope.
Before Liu Chang died, he pointed at him with regret: "Liu Zongmin, you deceived me! It was in vain that I risked my life for you!" Liu Chang fell.
"Fine." Ye Qingjue didn't intend to keep teasing Luo Wusheng; if he couldn't do it openly, he could still do it covertly. Thinking this, he turned and left.

"Oh! It’s been a while. Your Sword Light Array has evolved to eight flying swords." Changbai was slightly surprised. He clearly felt his Heaven-Covering Cloth being torn by the golden sword array and dared not underestimate his opponent again.
Anyone who could connect with this Grand Tutor Wang almost certainly harbored thoughts of rebellion.
"Brute force is, after all, just brute force. Let this end here!" With a cold snort, Yingji closed in on Ye Ge.
The blood descendants were particularly affected; their already pale faces turned ghostly white, and their entire bodies trembled.
Su Mu was not alone; other cultivators flew in from the distant sky, stepping on flying swords without hesitation and landing directly on the streets of Tiangu City, heading toward the taverns. Others walked toward the vendors who were calling out their wares.
It was truly terrifying. Cao Qian felt that Old Man Xiong before her was more frightening than anyone she had ever met in the upper echelons of society; it was an experience unlike any she had ever had.
Only then did she gracefully hug Qi Xinbao, as if the friendship between the three of them had always been this way.
Not just him, but everyone from the Azure God Continent was bewildered. Only those who had come with Lin Chen showed strange expressions, seemingly shocked by the sight of Lin Chen producing these firearms and cannons.
"After thousands of years, I am finally returning to my ancestral land." The Five-Elements Ancient Wood spoke with excitement. The leaves of the Five-Elements Heavenly Wood emitted a dazzling light, and ribbons of strange energy fluctuations slowly rotated, forming a gateway of light.
Two years later, she brought her father's flesh and blood to provoke her mother, Ji Qingxue, who was so angered that she suffered a miscarriage and died from a massive hemorrhage.
"It’s too late, Ren Xiao, strike!" Feng Shang’s Thunder Staff was only half-drawn when the opponent was already upon him.
After entering the fray, Lissandra was pushed away by Qin Min immediately, but she flashed back in, stunned four people, and then, facing their damage, activated her ultimate, becoming untargetable while her freezing effect dealt significant damage to Syndra and Xayah.
Isn't that just how people are? They like to mock themselves, but they also like to be praised by others. If it were the other way around, it would be very unpleasant.
He sat like that for three days. In those three days, Shen Yan’s injuries had mostly healed, his breath was steady, and his cultivation seemed to have increased significantly, putting him on the verge of breaking into the late stage of the Earth Immortal realm.

Her dream was about to be realized; the supreme position was right before her eyes. She hadn't even had time to properly enjoy it, and now, the hope was about to be shattered. How could this be?
"A protracted war requires three basic conditions: food, weapons, and a large number of troops. We don't need to worry about manpower; Sichuan alone has a population of over 50 million, and there are millions of suitable soldiers. Adding the tens of millions of refugees who migrated to the west, we have enough troops."
He saw a middle-aged man in rough hemp clothes digging for bamboo shoots, completely unaware of Shi Tian.
Qi Zhenzhen, who had been so enthusiastic before, could no longer find that feeling of ecstatic joy. She wandered about indifferently, stopping occasionally to look at the things around her.
"The General overestimates them; it was just a few strokes of luck." Ding Xiaoyi laughed immediately. He, too, had never imagined that the two girls he had adopted all those years ago would perform so brilliantly.
But with compound interest, they had no capital to repay the original debt. After things were exposed, they found themselves targets of murder. They had long since grown accustomed to a life of hiding.
Returning to Tongxin Palace after the morning court session, Shen Mingxuan forced a smile when he saw Lin Chuxia. He didn't want her to know about what had happened in the court, fearing she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Mo Li wanted to stop Mo Yuanxiang, but before he could speak, Ouyang Qian flew into a rage, so he found it difficult to intervene.
Mo Linghuan heard these words from Sehun unclearly, a faint smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and she drifted into a deep sleep.
His palm power was mighty, kicking up dust and churning waves. The boundless spreading poison was blown back by the counter-wind, turning against its own source.
"Fine, I won't talk about it anymore. But if one day, or at some point, I end up holding you back, don't regret having thought so highly of me today!" Xuan Che offered this final warning.
