Chapter 0078: Time Freeze Spell [Seeking First Subscription!]

The elderly member of the Otsutsuki clan gave a faint smile. The five types of energy that flew out from the center of his brow merged into a single chakra elixir. After he swallowed it, his aura grew even more violent.

"Trap!"

He infused his energy into the red fish basket at his waist, then hurled it to ensnare Orochimaru and Madara Uchiha. This artifact was far more formidable than the red fishing rod—an object of a much higher grade.

"Let’s see how you escape this time!" he laughed heartily. But that wasn’t all; he revealed—

"Young Master, this is too valuable. We can’t accept it!" Anna quickly refused, for she knew just how precious that white stone truly was. Even if the two of them were sold, they would hardly be worth as much as that single piece of white stone.

The disturbance at the Song family’s promotion banquet had caused a considerable stir. Although later, with the National Preceptor acting as a matchmaker, the Zhou and Song families were united in marriage, putting an end to much of the gossip, there were still whispers in private about the secret exchanges between Song Xianglan and Zhou Yisheng. It was merely the authority of the National Preceptor’s involvement that stopped people from discussing it openly.

No sooner was this mentioned than someone recounted to Granny Zhao how, at the Zhu Cinema, a private room had been specially prepared for Sheng Yuan, and many valuable furnishings added.

During previous tests, people would snatch their hands back the instant they put them into the jar, but Zhou Qing not only left his hand in for ages, he even rummaged around inside.

Zhang Cheng did not retreat after that blow. Instead, he stiffly swung his withered arms, his sharp claws slicing through the air as they clawed at Zhou Qing.

After all, it was a natural cave, and it also had an underground swamp suited for raising corpses and breeding gu worms—it wasn’t something easily found.

Lin Zhengjie spent two days in New York. Besides attending the banquet, he inspected the family office, the Hengjin Investment office building, and met with the management team serving his family, to strengthen their loyalty.

"Mom, I’ve only got this one year left—my final year of high school. If we just hold on until I get into college, things will get better. I can apply for a student loan for tuition, and cover living expenses with a part-time job. I really don’t want to see our home sold!" Zhang Haiyang’s eyes were red as he spoke.

But it wasn’t just their family building a new house—others in the village had started as well, since they’d all made good money selling peanuts. The Lin family’s reputation had improved because of it, and even the third son was getting along much better in the village.

He realized that he already knew every move the enemy would make, while they knew nothing about him.

Bathysian uttered a few simple words, and Xu Yi immediately understood—this man had figured out his background and wanted to cooperate. But what exactly had caught this man’s attention?

The Lian family’s ostentatious prayers and offerings only magnified their influence, prompting even more townsfolk to flock to the nameless mountain to seek her blessings.

Looking through Yan Fei’s memories, Zero had always responded to it with enthusiasm. Yan Fei ought to have been one of Zero’s very first five "followers."

Xu Yi was startled—he hadn’t realized old Li Ming still had such treasures at hand. No wonder he’d allowed him to absorb the spirit from the statue of Jesus in the cathedral. Their claim that they wanted to weaponize the statue was, in fact, just a ruse to get his help.

A moment ago, Bai Susu had nearly fainted from being squeezed by the giant serpent, but in a flash, an aura containing the power of an ancient ferocious beast surged up from her.

For those in higher circles, the latter was even more taboo. If the gambling tycoons on Macau were united, they could topple the He family in an instant.

"Not long ago, when we split up, I saw the Forbidden Hand chasing after Sun Sheng," Qin Xin said.

The speeding Mercedes suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall. The rear end flew up, the car tumbled several times in the air, then crashed heavily to the ground.
