Volume 1, Chapter 32: That Was an Absolutely Outrageous Move

On the way back, Shen Ruyi felt uneasy about whether Chen Fan’s plan could be implemented smoothly. After all, Luo Wei had mentioned that many factions wanted a piece of the pie. The fact that City Lord Luo was willing to act as a vanguard and lobbyist suggested that the backers were extremely powerful, and she feared that the Four Great Families would end up with very little of the allocated share.

She voiced her concerns. Upon hearing them, Chen Fan laughed: "Don't forget, Grandpa An also holds shares. With a cake this big, it would be strange if the Four Great Families weren't jealous. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their specialty." The Four Great Families couldn't contend with other major powers, but in their eyes, the Liu family was just a...

"Your training of the Fighting-type Pokemon is quite impressive," Shiba said, putting away Hitmonchan as he approached Shinji.

"Oh man, the guy is finally dead. If he hadn't died, I would’ve been poisoned to death by him. How could there be such a shameless boss? He’s exactly like Seven Kills," Optimus Prime groaned as he collapsed to the ground after the Tomb Guardian fell. Even so, he still had the energy to complain.

Looking at the various Pokemon surrounding him, Shinji felt his competitive spirit stirring, though he knew that battling during the Silver Conference would lead to disqualification. Besides, the most important thing for him right now was registration.

When the Qing army entered the pass, the Fifth Brother slew the highly skilled martial artist Ma Shiyao. Later, he marched south, defeated the Ming Prince Fu, Zhu Yousong, and followed Dodo to campaign in Khalkha. He then guarded Datong alongside Prince Ying, Ajige. During Jiang Rang’s rebellion, it was he who moved his troops to Daizhou, saving it from siege.

Sister Ziling, filled with fury, began a new challenge of her own. It must be said that her agility was quite high; while not quite on par with Ouyang Jue, she seemed superior to Seven Kills, at least in the grace of her movements.

"I’ve heard that the Qigu Kingdom has been destroyed and Mount Changyang has been reduced to ruins. I fear the Nine-Curve Dragon Chant Formation has long since been broken," Xiao Li replied to Taiyi.

"This ring of mine increases healing effects. I’m quite satisfied with it," Sister Ziling said, playing with the blood-red ring in her hand as she introduced it to the group.

The stone chamber was small, barely a hundred square meters. Over a dozen glowing starlight stones were embedded in the surrounding walls, illuminating the space as if it were day.

Optimus Prime set aside his idle curiosity and, just before Ouyang Jue’s dagger could strike Krull, drew Krull’s aggro back to himself, greatly facilitating the fierce onslaught that followed from the rest of us.

"What do you mean by that!" Wen Yulan felt guilty, hoping no one would bring the matter up. Yet, Wen Youkou insisted on mentioning it, which was incredibly annoying.

Zhou Zheng smacked his lips, a look of helplessness written on his face. For so long, aside from a bathhouse, he hadn't managed to find a single entertainment venue.

Seeing Chi Xingyuan close her eyes, Duan Chenke’s heart settled slightly. At the very least, she was still alive and kicking for now; who knew what the future would hold?

Lin Ge’s heart was filled with complex emotions. With shimmering eyes, she stared intently at the Celestial God Zetian. It was her first time looking at him so earnestly. She reached out and touched his eyes, whispering softly, "You are A-Shen, aren't you?"

Zhong Chi felt a strange resonance after hearing this. It was as if the man were looking at a familiar scene and responding to it. How could he feel such a connection to someone he had never met? If one spoke of qualifications, Li Haoran was a step ahead of him, but when it came to truly clashing with those Great Emperors, he likely still fell short.

Optimus, Wangchuan, and the others left the Ascension Terrace. If things continued this way, not only would they lose face, but they would also be chased and beaten, forcing the elders of their families to clean up the mess. If word got out, they would surely be mocked.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng was overcome with emotion. Perhaps it was a sudden thought that stirred his mind, but the yearning in his heart could not be calmed. By the time he found him, the man was under a large tree, leisurely drinking tea and playing chess.

"Because you were slack in your duties, deceived your superiors and oppressed your subordinates, and embezzled the workers' wages! I don't know if that reason is enough!" Zhou Zheng snapped.

Upon hearing this, the two tigers perked up, habitually touching the twin tufts of hair on their heads.

"How did he die?" Tang Ye, who had only just gone up, reappeared on the first floor. He was still wondering who the suddenly deceased person was, until someone led him to the entrance of the restroom, where he saw the late Old Cheng.

She knew that while others might survive, as the sect leader, she was certain to die.

It turned out that Zhou Lei had set up a formation in his cultivation site, making it difficult for anyone without Foundation Establishment cultivation to break through. The sound he had just heard seemed to be all around him.

With a fierce squeeze, he crushed the attack unleashed by Yi Tianyun, causing it to dissipate into a pile of energy sparks in the air.

Jiang Jichen thought the other party was joking, but seeing their exceptionally serious expression, he knew they weren't lying.

Many powerhouses rushed over to rescue Marshal Snow Fox, but they were held back by Fan Lang’s forces, unable to get close for a time.

Sun Luban chose the bottom lane for the attribute build, and Liu Feng was most confident in Brother Yellow Dog’s ability to hold the bottom lane. There were very few people in the country who could crumble his bottom lane.

Qin Chuan hurriedly threw a punch, shattering the electric python. With his other hand, he pointed at the Universe Bracelet that had fallen to the ground, triggering two thunderbolts that struck with a "crack."

She didn't need to unleash her full strength; simply exerting power at the Heavenly Monarch level was enough to crush everything.

However, just as Jiang Jichen’s voice faded, a strange, sarcastic, and shrill voice drifted over.

Just as people had felt about Jiyuan before, Jiang Chen’s ability to fight Jiyuan without losing had conquered many.
