Chapter 47: Defeated by You, Bad Woman (Revised)

Shen Zhi wore a solemn expression. "Chairman, you know me. I, Shen Zhi, am incapable of doing such a thing. Everyone also knows that in business, there are gains and losses. To forcefully claim that I embezzled funds to cover losses is simply an insult."

Ming Chao also felt that he had been muddle-headed. How could Shen Zhi ever do such a thing? Yet, in order to silence public gossip, he picked up the desk telephone and dialed his personal assistant...

"We already figured that out on the beach. Is there anything else? For instance, why are there airplane wreckage and a gas station here?" Hu Shuntang asked, deeply concerned about this point.

Gu Fan immediately calculated in his mind. Perhaps the Mistress of the Beiyao Palace had sent her. Could it be that since intimidation failed, the Mistress of the Beiyao Palace had resorted to a honey trap?

"Heh." Taoist Lei Ming chuckled abruptly, flicking his sleeve to recall his flying sword. The flying sword was completely undamaged, hovering in mid-air as usual, except that the white light surrounding it had grown much denser, with crackling strands of lightning power intertwining within it.

Seeing this, Yu Feng's initially tense heart slowly calmed down. Not daring to move recklessly, he stayed in the spot a little longer. Confirming that the surroundings had fallen completely silent, he stepped out from the bushes. Not daring to linger there any longer, he hurriedly searched for the path leading further up the mountain.

Xiao Yichen's delicate face was covered in sweat and flushed red, the strenuous running clearly having left him slightly out of breath.

"The Central Plains is rich in spiritual energy and outstanding people. If it is poor now, it is only because of the many wars in the past. I know people at the funeral home; are you willing to do it? At least eight thousand yuan a month. Of course, it's not just portrait painting, there is other work as well," the man in black stared intently at them.

Tong Guoguai clutched her phone, feeling utterly dead inside. Is there ever a moment when you just want to turn your phone completely off?

Prompted by Yu Feng's string of reasons, Bai Ya was already somewhat tempted. Bai Ling was going to leave this place anyway; if she stayed here, she certainly wouldn't leave her behind. But now that her younger sister was leaving, there was little point in her staying behind either. Going along with Yu Feng might even bring some amusement.

"Speak slowly. What on earth happened? Our children, and the rest of my family! What has happened to them?" The moment he thought of his dearest family members, Zhang Jiaming could not help leaning forward, stretching his long neck as he focused entirely on his confidant.

"He is, after all, a cultivator at the peak of the Void-Realization realm. With my cultivation at the Dao-Entering realm, it is very difficult to inflict any harm upon him," Hua Tian muttered inwardly.

"Rest assured, it is nothing illegal or rebellious." Seeming to perceive what was in Xiang Wan's mind, Yu Zhengrong subsequently added.

Entering the Tiangang realm at forty, reaching the mid-grade Tiangang realm at sixty, and by the end of one's life... reaching the upper-grade Tiangang realm was not entirely impossible. Of course, this assumed everything went smoothly without a hitch, no calamities encountered, no bottlenecks faced, and no inner demons born.

Indeed, it was a major crisis! The Prince of Rong's side had handled matters poorly. The men he dispatched pursued them for five or six days; while they did catch up, they failed to win the fight. Aside from suffering heavy casualties, they even allowed the Prince of Ning to escape. This was far more serious a problem than having killed the Prince of Ning on the spot.

Yu Sheng's words left all four of them stunned. Logically speaking, the strength of their four-member combination was not particularly prominent among the teams of cultivators, yet Yu Sheng had actively sought them out at the very first opportunity.

After successfully linking up with the first brigade behind Huaheng, the second brigade quickly consolidated the offensive formation of the Xiaolei Army, withdrawing from the front-line defense of Xuekun within half a day.

Naturally, someone might ask: if this is the case, why don't those major corporations compete for the title of highest bidder?

"Why? Do you have a different opinion? Speak your mind boldly." Song Yongchang looked at Ruan Tang with a smile in his eyes.

Zhou Yuhao in the photo was dressed in casual attire with a faint smile on his face. For some reason, however, Tian Qianqian caught a trace of lingering sorrow in his eyes.

Xin'er had been in the Vein-Nurturing realm for quite some time now, and her foundation was exceptionally solid. Her breakthrough was only a natural progression. Qin Chuan cared about Xin'er's cultivation to the absolute extreme, viewing it as even more important than his own.
