Volume 1, Chapter 42: Hysteria?

Outside the courtyard gate.

True Immortal Zhonghuai knocked on the door with utmost caution, "Senior, your junior Zhonghuai has come to pay respects!"

Zhuang Qiu looked toward True Immortal Zhonghuai, a trace of unusual emotion flashing deep within his eyes.

True Immortal Zhonghuai was the Great Elder of their Azure Cloud Sect, a figure of peerless pride and arrogance!

This was the first time he had ever seen True Immortal Zhonghuai display such a side to himself!

It made Zhuang Qiu increasingly convinced that the person living within this small courtyard might truly be some supreme master of the Dao of Alchemy!

As long as this person was willing to step in and help their Azure Cloud Sect weather this calamity,

even if they had to give away the sect-protecting treasure,

it would still be entirely worth it!

The night gradually grew dim. At this moment, Xiao Chen had already lurked outside a massive mountain. Tucked within this mountain was the experimental base. It had to be said that the location of the experimental base was exceptionally well-hidden; had it not been for the clues provided by the dark-faced man, finding this place would certainly not have been so easy.

A city-guard soldier clad in silver armor and wielding a long silver spear shouted at Tang Cheng.

"But that is how the law judges it. Let me go bail him out; we just need to pay five million," Ah Biao said with an awkward smile, wondering why such a straightforward matter had so many complications and got people all tied up in knots.

"Leader Xing, if you have anything to say, let's make it completely clear tomorrow at the Myriad Immortals Assembly in front of the leaders and disciples of all the sects. Right and wrong will naturally be understood by all; why bother resorting to force here?" Shen Yuanfang said calmly at that moment.

Now Lu Shanglong was utterly speechless; he had no choice but to make an honest confession. Since Ye Bingyin was already aware of the matter concerning Lu Shanglong, if Lu Shanglong refused to speak, Ye Bingyin would inevitably resort to violence for the sake of that half-fragment of the bronze mirror.

"Are you truly not even going to give me an explanation?" Han Mingchao raised his chiseled brow, gazing at the indifferent face of Mo Wushuang.

"Understood." An Lei nodded to indicate she understood, then gave a few brief instructions to the manager before dismissing everyone.

Lang Ri instinctively caught the object thrown toward him, and upon taking a closer look in his hand, found it to be a still-warm steamed bun.

After waiting a moment longer, that door swung open once again. Emerging to greet them this time, aside from the previous manservant, were two pretty maidservants trailing closely behind him.

Saluo kept muttering to himself, completely unaware that a corpse-eater bug had appeared out of nowhere behind him. The crawling sound of the corpse-eater bug was entirely masked by Saluo's own muttered words, and he failed to notice it at all.

The bespectacled man said, "Understood!" He then tapped a few keys on his keyboard, and a cold mechanical voice echoed throughout the base: "Personnel at the base launch site, please take note! The missile is in launch status, please evacuate immediately. Launching will commence in three minutes!" The broadcast repeated three times consecutively.

Xiao Qiang nodded and watched the other person leave. Although he had noticed the subtle change in Su Wei's expression just now, since she was unwilling to tell him, Xiao Qiang chose to fully respect her privacy.

This armored force, which Wang Houchun had kept hidden away in reserve, was brought out at the most crucial moment and instantly unleashed an incomparably formidable combat prowess. Like a sharp blade, it sliced right through the advancing Japanese forces, and the earth-shaking roar of the engines drowned out the sounds of slaughter in that sector.

Hanging up the phone, Heizi watched the security team escort the troublemakers into the vehicle before nodding in acknowledgment and teleporting away.

"Doctor, are they all going to be alright?" Ye Chong walked into the room where several of the injured police officers had been settled, and asked the white-bearded old man, Dr. Wu.

The three of them walked straight toward the floor where Xiao Qiang and Su Wei's home was located, and quickly confirmed the exact location of Su Wei's residence.

After driving for over twenty minutes to reach the gates of the Beijing campus, Zhao Ding and Zhou Yunyao were already waiting at the entrance. Zhao Zedong pulled the car over, waved his hand, and upon seeing him, the two of them walked over and got into the vehicle.

"Understood." Wing Chun nodded. After giving proper instructions for all matters, she left with the rest of the group. Realizing there was nothing more for her to do, Alice sat down in the corridor, leaning against a pillar as she awaited the first ray of dawn in the East.
