Chapter 124: The Urge to Kill

When Lu Yalan received news that Lu Shibang and two others were returning to Shanghai, she was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea with Mrs. Mu. It was a rare day off, and she was relaxing, fully enjoying the warm sunlight and delicious food.

Only upon hearing that Lu Shibang was leaving did she suddenly realize she had been staying at the Mu residence for nearly two months.

Good news kept arriving from the battlefield. The three divisions of the Mu family army worked in perfect harmony, advancing steadily. The unrest in western Huizhou had been completely suppressed, and the army was about to take control of the entire Huizhou region. It seemed that in another ten to fifteen days, they would hear truly good news.

Mu Chengyao was safe and sound, so the two women could rest easy.

Lu Yalan looked at Mrs. Mu, seeking her opinion.

Mrs. Mu said, “Your father is leaving; aren’t you going to see him off?”

Though there was much cursing, his current situation was still tragic. His verbal bravado could not help him escape from being defeated time and again by Ye Xiu’s relentless attacks, leaving him utterly defenseless.

Qin Zhao was somewhat surprised, his brow furrowing slightly, for he had received this news quite unexpectedly.

“War? Or invasion?” When Zhang Tian heard the other party mention their purpose, he immediately voiced his thoughts. To him, this was clearly an act of aggression.

Not to mention, the Douluo at the Transcendence realm, Zhongyang, would never neglect a formidable opponent in purple robes at such a critical moment. Even if he momentarily failed to detect it, that hundred-foot blade beam would never have fallen on him.

At present, I am sitting in the office, which is spacious. All financial management and hotel consulting services are gathered in this large hall, separated only by cubicles.

“It’s different. Everyone thought I was a Level 3 Evolver, and I always kept it hidden. That’s why the Level 3 Evolver council member who came this time was someone else. But now my strength has been revealed. Next time, whoever comes won’t be Level 3,” Li Long said in a deep voice.

Somewhat surprised, Zhang Tian did not forcefully push with his hand but patiently felt the motion. The protective shield also vibrated faintly, resembling the ripples on the surface of a lake.

When Wei Guoliang and the others left, Jiang Huairen called after them. Letting them go did not mean they could leave unscathed. Not killing them was already Jiang Huairen’s greatest concession, but he intended to reclaim their powers.

Besides the two Twelve Stars from the Tiandong delegation and the White Tower Divine General from the Da Yan Empire, there were also heads of noble families from the Seven Provinces region.

The black-robed, silver-haired Luo Changfeng retreated violently amid endlessly spreading ripples, his feet sliding through the void. Sparks flickered and vanished in the torrential rain where his feet touched, and the spacewall of the void crumbled piece by piece beneath his steps.

Back then, at the southern garden among the pine forest, the eighteen disciples gathered for the last time. Someone loudly proclaimed the traditional rule to be followed before disciples descended the mountain: while drunk, grievances should be settled, debts avenged; once leaving the mountain gate, only loyalty counts, and old grudges are no longer pursued.

Ye Yan and the other exchanged a glance and both obediently placed their disciple badges into a recessed slot.

In less than half the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the evil cultivator’s bones and flesh vanished, leaving behind only a pile of robes.

In Private Room No. 1, Zuo Shuliang and Zuo Batian were still immersed in the staggering final price of ten billion. They hadn’t expected that a single pearl could be worth the total value of their four family companies.

Amid the swirling dust and debris, two figures shot up into the sky and flew far away.

“Aunt Jiajia, weren’t you going to cook?” Kuang Fusheng, pondering an opportunity to “escape,” asked with wide eyes.

The hero-class spear soldier gleamed with even more dazzling light, gradually piercing through the patch of inky waves and heading straight for the dragonborn.

As for the Skyscraper squad, it was the first time anyone had heard of them. No one could guess what this mysterious Skyscraper squad that appeared out of nowhere was for. The only person who knew was Ye Lei himself.

Mu Xiaofeng and Lei Hu exchanged astonished looks. They hadn’t expected that Changfeng’s whereabouts had been discovered, and that they themselves had also been found. Why had there been no commotion earlier? Mu Xiaofeng and Lei Hu already guessed: their opponents intended to trap them like fish in a barrel.
