Chapter 65: Investigation Bureau 66 (8)

Zhang Cheng was somewhat unsure of Wen Xin's intentions. Although Qin Qing had mentioned certain compensation terms over the phone, she had not informed Zhang Cheng of the specific situation here.

Stepping through the main entrance, the first things that came into view were two rows of "Death's Knells." This was a purple flower and also a relatively precious alchemical material, but anyone daring to steal it would be courting death. Two attendants stood guard at the entrance.

However, Lu Fei did not do that. He simply wanted to see who was ultimately backing this man! A coward like him was obviously a front-man puppet pushed to the fore. To say that he alone could do anything to Zhang Dinglong was something Lu Fei would never believe! Behind him, there must be an even more formidable existence.

Now things were a mess. In this massive subterranean palace, danger lurked everywhere. Where on earth was he supposed to go to find Xiaoxiao?

This time, Li Bin finally had the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the true appearance of the master of Feiyun Taoist Temple, though he was still far away. Furthermore, the temple master kept his back turned to Li Bin the entire time. Aside from gauging the temple master's martial arts cultivation, Li Bin was still unable to see his actual facial features.

The Tianshan mutton skewers had an exceptionally superb texture. Bursting with flavor and lingering aroma with every bite, they were a delicacy one could never tire of eating. Golden and glistening with oil, neither greasy nor gamey, they were tender, crisp, and refreshing. Their golden color, crispy exterior, and tender, juicy interior made them delightfully flavorful, rich yet non-greasy, and utterly distinct in taste.

Taking everything into account, Xu Yuan felt that no matter how good or god-like other men might be, none compared to her own.

Yet today, Huangfu Fengyun had finally met his match. The moment Li Bin made his move, with a few swift and clean strokes, he disarmed Huangfu Fengyun of the long sword that was the source of his renown, leaving the arrogant Huangfu Fengyun utterly bewildered.

Chen Mo found this immensely vexing. On the one hand, this meant he dared not wander about recklessly these days, yet he still had to remain in Luoyang to await orders; otherwise, he would simply have turned back to Beihai directly.

One early morning, the Misty Rain Tower was exceptionally bustling, gathering passing merchants of all stripes from the four corners of the land. Speaking different dialects and possessing diverse temperaments, some guests preferred elegance, quietly discussing romantic poetry and literary odes, while others favored boldness, loudly debating the latest rumors from the jianghu.

"Cube is located within the Mojave Desert in Nevada, primarily used for holding radiation-mutated super criminals."

Pushing open the bedroom door, Jude placed Ivy onto the bed. Even after undergoing such intense combat, the girl had yet to wake up—heaven knows how many sedatives she had been given.

The so-called Life-Slaying Cave was actually constructed by that esoteric disciple to practice a certain high-power incantation, the capable young man said unhurriedly.

Just as Fan Shizhe began to speak, the mobile phone beside the remote control lit up its screen, and a ringtone suddenly sounded. The couple split tasks: one answered the phone while the other muted the television.

Many days had passed, and although Lu Qi had been waiting here all this time for such an outcome.

To say nothing of super-rich heirs like Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne, and setting aside first-tier scions like Oliver Queen and the Blue Beetle, compared even to superheroes without any notable background, he fell far short.

He felt as though he were standing atop a thousand peaks, one moment feeling the gentle breeze caress his face, and the next experiencing the howling gale.

Peng Le enjoyed a life of drinking to his heart's content, eating meat in large chunks, and beating people up without bearing responsibility. Whenever he thought of his eldest brother Yuan Guanshou's kindness toward him, he would even calculate how, after saving up enough silver in a few more years, he would go and redeem the courtesan Tongxia.

Bai Zhu looked at Baitang's ragged clothes, which certainly didn't look like they could conceal anything. Beginning to suspect that he had seen wrong, he kicked the bamboo basket over and went back inside.

In the past, people often compared the hazardous terrain here to "dangerous narrow paths where one competes with monkeys" and "the most perilous road in the human realm at Tongguan."

Zi Ying cast an amused glance at Lord Guang, then continued drinking his wine as if no one else were there, acting as though he hadn't heard Jiang Lü's words at all. Aside from a fleeting glance when Jiang Lü first entered, Zi Ying didn't even bother to turn his eyes toward him.

The two flew along the valley for a short while before Old Man Liu dropped his flying sword at a spot scattered with boulders. He produced a jade slip, executed a hand seal, and the jade slip vanished into the cluster of boulders with a "swish."

Gold, silver, and treasures, golden armor and long spears, medicinal pills and martial arts manuals... in short, everything of value was thoroughly plundered by Yang Yi.

He stared in shock at the patterns on the front of the black token in his hand, then lowered his gaze, focusing solely on the "Old Street" district of Liangjiang Town.

This profession of love was brutally direct, devoid of any ornate rhetoric, yet Tang Yun's heart burst like a kernel of corn popping into popcorn, sweetness spreading through her in layers all the way to her soul. Words could not describe how deeply gratified she felt.

Meanwhile, in his letter to the King of Chu, Xiang Yan detailed his countermeasures against the second rumor he had brought to the king's attention.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you only ever know 'Tang Yun, Tang Yun'. You should remember that it wasn't Sister Tang Yun who carried you back!" Meng Yan'gui employed her habitual tone of mockery.

Even Fang Yuqiong furrowed her brow deeply, harboring a lingering doubt: could this truly be the 'Jade Kirilin' Yan Chongming whom she adored?

Many modern thermal weapons possess immense destructive power. For instance, a single missile can instantly reduce a thousand people to ash and dust. Yet, the visual impact is actually not all that terrifying.

"Good brother," Su Yuan praised, though he was acutely aware that even if a hundred more Mazijuns were to come, they would still be utterly incapable of resisting the Devil Lotus Holy Lock unless he had powerful cultivators to assist him.

Oh my goodness, I can't take it anymore. Muxiang felt as though a mist was drifting before her eyes. A wave of intense heat surged unexpectedly from bottom to top.

"I only wanted you to help me chase him away, but I never expected your words to be so venomous. We're really in trouble now," Xiao Jingru said with a matching expression of concern.

That being said, her heart fluttered restlessly, filled with reluctance and resentment. How could she have missed him? The intelligence she received clearly stated that Helian Sheng was right in the capital; when had he gone to the frontier?
