Chapter 123: The Yun Siblings

"It seems you have some reservations about the Green Sand Gang, senior?"

Ning Hongwu said with a chuckle, "With your cultivation and methods, senior, if you were to condescend to take over the affairs of our trading firm, my brother and I would certainly treat you as our most honored guest. The entire Green Sand Gang would feel the same; should you have any commands, we would carry them out without a word of objection."

"Indeed, senior..."

Liu Shen also chimed in with a smile, "Our invitation for you to return to the Green Sand Gang is not meant to tether you to our vessel."

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already mounted his long sword, racing toward Shangguan Wan with the speed of a shooting star.

However, this thought did not last long before a sharp, agonizing pain began to spread from his arm. If the sensation before was merely like blades moving inside his veins, it now felt as though someone were churning a steel rod through his very flesh.

Upon leaving the inn, one was met with an endless expanse of overlapping mountains shrouded in mist and clouds, and the entrance to the Ethereal Sect was hidden somewhere within those peaks.

Mo Jingyu’s eyes were filled with disdain and indifferent murderous intent. When the man had spoken insolently earlier, he had already decided to slaughter them all without exception. Their rushing at him together now suited his intentions perfectly, saving him the trouble of dealing with them one by one.

"Go tell the Ninth Master that I wish to see him," Jiang Ranli said, her nerves pulled tight, her voice trembling and distorted.

Elsewhere, Jian Yi, dressed in a teacher's uniform, was already walking inside Ashford Academy. He had certainly not obtained the identity of a teacher at this school, but that did not mean he couldn't dress the part.

Without waiting for the other party's consent, Bai Yu scooped up Zhou Yourou and fled into the distance.

At the same time, as Bai Yu threw his five flying daggers, he rested his hands on the lead-element emitter. With the infusion of exotic energy, the beam of lead elements emitted grew by another thirty centimeters, reaching a total length of over one and a half meters.

Li Qiao received the ball again, but this time, instead of turning immediately, he passed the ball to Sun Jihai before making his turn.

Of course, Zhou Huan would never admit to being L—not even if it killed him. The stupidest thing a mastermind can do is have the hero point out their identity, only for them to laughingly confirm it, add that they are actually the hero's father, lament whether the "son" has been living well, and declare that a relationship with the female lead is impossible because they are siblings.

If Liu Daofeng had previously felt a lingering resentment, believing Chen Xuan had won only through superior movement techniques, he no longer thought so now. Liu Daofeng had been thoroughly and convincingly defeated.

Long Shu stood to the side talking with the Fifth Elder; they were the only two present who were not wearing scarves.

As for those powerhouses in the Profound Yin Realm, Tao Rong had forcibly ordered them into confinement for three hundred years; unless some extraordinary event occurred, they were absolutely forbidden from appearing in the world.

If anyone else had heard Huo Siyuan speak in such a manner, they would have been enraged to the point of collapse, yet An Chunqiu truly treated Huo Siyuan’s words like nothing more than flatulence, not even lifting an eyelid.

Liu Hekun and the servants of the Tang family waited anxiously outside, but at this moment, Eighth Master Tang felt incredibly relaxed, as if he had purged all the impurities from his body at once. He was certain that his current condition was no worse than it had been ten years ago.

Lu Yao leaped up, caught the edge of the rock, and reached out to pluck a plant—it was the very Body-Tempering Fruit that had been snatched away by the Cloud-Splitting Leopard.

Xu Jiangnan chuckled softly and handed over the miniature wooden sword. Today was different from the past; he had previously been at the sixth rank, but now he had forcibly stepped into the ninth. Though he had only put half a foot into it, that half-foot was the beginning of what every martial artist dreamed of. Where there is one, there is two; where there is two, there is three, and after that, the ninth rank would come naturally.

"Strange! I haven't heard of anyone buying the Giant Dragon's Stone Egg!" Lu You’s gaze was like a torch, scanning those who had been to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Looking toward the entrance, it was already riddled with bullet holes, and dozens of machine guns hanging from the roof were still emitting wisps of smoke from their barrels.
