The jade bead now rests within the array barrier at the very center, drawing everyone’s gaze to the totems flickering and vanishing deep within it. Yet, given the current situation, standing idly by and doing nothing would be nothing more than a futile waste of effort. The old man smiled without a word, merely reaching out to tap the raw stone. Su Li felt a surge of spiritual energy erupt, as if intent on infiltrating the stone itself.

"Do you think I don't know that you’ve been throwing your weight around at school, relying on your brother-in-law to accept gifts from parents? I’ve been turning a blind eye, hoping you would exercise some restraint. I never expected you to become even more brazen, and now you’re even thinking of using public office for personal vendettas!" He pounded the table twice as he spoke.

Among these people were former subordinates of Xu Chongkun and Ye Qinglong. Seeing them again after all this time left them brimming with excitement; they were the ones who used to call them "Boss" and "Young Master."

"I hope Mr. Zhang can help calm Young Master Lin down. After all, this is the Ancient Arts Studio, not the street." Manager Wu’s expression softened slightly after hearing Zhang Siyuan’s apology, and his attitude improved accordingly.

There are only about fifty special practitioners left across the entire continent, all of whom have been kept in the rear by Anubis, forbidden from moving. Most of them have already lost any desire to counterattack.

Lang Jun nodded upon hearing this, saying nothing more. He decided to fill his stomach first; once he had eaten and rested, he would take action tonight to scout out the situation at the Red Collar Society’s headquarters.

The storefronts on both sides of the street were numerous, with the thresholds of almost every establishment nearly worn down by the constant traffic. In short, it was crowded.

Today was the day the results of the blind bids were to be announced. To avoid any trouble, Chen Lin planned to pay the full amount on the spot once his bid was confirmed.

Qin Ming felt a wave of nausea at Wei Yin’s pretentious demeanor. Before he could even react, he heard Wei Yin continue speaking.

Facing such immense pressure, the spectators around the martial arts arena were doing more than just trembling or sweating; they were forced to exert their own abilities, circulating their internal energy to resist the force. Many cultivators with insufficient strength began to retreat from the arena to avoid collapsing under the pressure.

Take this beggar, for example; in the eyes of most, he is no different from a stray dog. Who would care if a stray dog pees nearby? At most, one might spare a glance.

Qin Yue was stunned, her eyes widening. Then, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and planted a deep, affectionate kiss on Qi Hao’s lips.

"What did you say?" Hearing this, even the usually composed Kong Chengqing’s expression shifted. He sprang up from his seat, his face contorted with a ferocious scowl as he demanded an answer.

Those who have been through it often share the same realization: when young, one always pursues various impractical things, only to find, once society has smoothed away one's edges, that many important things have already been missed.

Sun Yuan sniffed the air and, sure enough, caught the scent of Zete. It seemed that something had happened to Zete nearby, which was why Kanako had sent the robot here.

After recovering for a moment, Jin Ling began to speak slowly, reminiscing as she stitched a piece of clothing.

The dharma assembly lasted for over two hours, ending only after noon had passed. Though no miraculous flowers fell from the sky, the warm sun shone upon the master on the high platform. The brocade kasaya he wore shimmered, glowing with an incandescence that made him look like a golden arhat, so brilliant that one dared not look at him for long.

Yet beneath their feet, the yellow sand began to jump intermittently. The frequency grew, and the intensity increased, but few were able to notice.

Ye Yinyin told herself that as the top genius disciple of the Star Sect, she must not simply wait to die, even when facing Tie Guanshan of the Foundation Establishment stage, lest she become a laughingstock for the Blood Axe Sect.

In the past, how could a task as significant as issuing orders ever fall to him, a clan elder ranked at the very bottom?

This Xiong Jie, however, was becoming slower, almost turning into a target. He was drenched in blood, trapped in a desperate stalemate.

Mo Liu stood at the doorway, far enough away that he was not yet within the range of hostility, and thus would not provoke an attack. He smiled, casting a casual glance at the old man in the center.

Xiong Mengfei’s physical strength ranked in the top three of Nuoyun Mountain. As the grandson of the Barbarian tribe’s greatest warrior, Xiong Dingchun, he carried the blood of the most noble Barbarian Ancestor.

Xiao Nu was suddenly filled with murderous intent. Before he even moved, his powerful soul consciousness had already locked firmly onto the person who had ambushed Qing Ling.

The battle between the two had lasted for half an hour with no clear victor, but to Xiao Wuxie’s practiced eyes, it was evident that Yan Chikuang was already showing signs of defeat.

Yang Hao’s deliberate provocation caused Li Yunchen’s fury to surge, making him even more susceptible to the erosion of the chaotic energy. Recalling the warning Al had given him, his state of mind fell into total disarray.

"I plan to send the people away first." Zhou Yu thought for a moment and hurried in a certain direction—the place where Sen Qi had previously been hiding. Even now, the White Crocodile King was still secretly guarding the area.

Xiao Shan was shaken by Yingzuo Zhaoyue’s words. He could not help but stare at him with a grave look in his eyes, wondering to himself, "When did he figure it out?" Seeing Xiao Shan’s guarded expression, Yingzuo Zhaoyue smiled slightly.

"How is the renovation of the house coming along?" Mi asked, drawing circles on Ye Yangjian’s chest with her finger.

"Since the busy President Zhang is treating me, I must report to you as quickly as possible. No matter how busy I am, your affairs take priority." Wang Xing replied with his usual cheeky grin.

"Kill! Kill everyone in the city!" The six bandit leaders, all at the early stages of the Purple Mansion realm, were the first to charge into the city.

"Was this arranged by Boss Song?" Having connected the dots, Ye Yangjian asked with a raised eyebrow.

Forget about one establishment; even if Lin Feng demanded he smash ten, Gao Fengyi would have to grit his teeth and agree. After all, Gao Fengyi’s ability to seize Zhou Fanjun’s venues and territory was entirely predicated on Zhou Fanjun’s death. And that death, as it happened, was linked to Lin Feng.

The Emperor coughed softly, and Li Yu immediately understood. "I will take men to search Wang Qin’s quarters at once," he said, scurrying away.

Ye Feng was highly suspicious that everyone else, like him, had heard Oula’s flattery and found their stomachs unable to handle it, feeling so nauseated they just wanted to go along with Oula’s wishes to get rid of him as soon as possible.
