Chapter 43: As If!

“Where is he now?”
“He just left the town.”
Inside the command vehicle, Rong Aiyu, who heard the question, replied while sending over the intelligence team’s location and the optimal route.
“Received.”
Zhen Ye glanced at the tactical tablet, then suddenly wrenched the steering wheel, and the car swerved sharply as they began the high-speed pursuit.
“This guy has quite the sharp nose.”
Zhang Liang, in the passenger seat, scratched his head. Being a police officer in such a small place seemed like a waste of his talents…
Click.
“Let’s see what he’s capable of.”
At that moment, the shield warriors had already completed their encirclement of the Shadow King, Ragnaros. At Zhao Yu’s command, the members of the Battle Banner Guild opened fire in unison, unleashing a torrent of spells and arrows that shot toward the Shadow King, Ragnaros.

This time, Li Yi had no intention of letting his bloodthirsty obsession grow stronger. Instead, his actions were entirely designed to unleash that obsession in a deadly explosion, taking down otherworldly cultivators in the process.
“Yes, that’s what the man said as well, sounded like a disciple from an external sect!” Boss Zhou replied uncertainly to Qin Xiaotian.
Duan Lang had slept soundly through the night, and in the morning, Zhuge Chan had prepared a variety of breakfasts for everyone.
“Gamers are really something else,” Zheng Dian said with a bitter smile. Clearly, future confidentiality measures would need to be tightened.
While the elder in white silently praised Li Yi, the latter finally reached his limit and collapsed heavily once again, lying motionless on the ground—whether he was dead or alive was unclear.
In recent years, Xu Li’s renown in the Eastern Cultivation World had grown thanks to his mastery of geomancy. Now, having attained enlightenment and advanced further, he became a grandmaster of geomancy, and his fame soared. The Luminous Stone Monkey paid him ever more respect; after all, a geomancy grandmaster was highly sought after by all powers wherever he went.
This was what Lin Yi imagined, yet he was unaware that his achievements were largely due to the divine blood he had acquired from the Lunar Clan.
In short, the two waited outside for Xiao Yu; after Ye Liangchen introduced them to each other and exchanged a few pleasantries, they returned to the house. Xiao Yu took the central seat, while Ye Liangchen and Gao Kui sat to his left and right.
After a long, tiring day, Li Qing was utterly exhausted. Yet, fortunately, all the effort had not been in vain. Since her rebirth, she had hacked her way through countless thorns and dangers, but never had she secured such a complete victory—toppling Xianyu Zhongtong, the greatest obstacle in Jian’nan Path. From now on, her work would proceed much more smoothly.
Still, he couldn’t quite understand why Qiu Xiude, who had once tried to kill him, was now helping him break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as Qin Mo could catch a distant glimpse of Su Ranran, he was content. Now, she had entered, even greeted him, and he felt thoroughly satisfied.
The salt sales negotiations had come to a close, and Guan Jinlin was about to assign Mo Tianwei’s men to track down the counterfeit money, when unexpectedly, trouble broke out on Guo Dayong’s end first.
Those watching from afar gasped and shuddered at the sight. Yet Dongling Huang seemed utterly numb to pain. With a sudden twist of her wrist, she snapped her sword, gripped the tip, poured more mystic energy into it, and slashed wildly at the retreating enemy.
Su Jinxi, still uneasy, frowned. But some things were best left unsaid here, and she forced herself to remain silent.
Leaving the company, Zhao Tiezhu drove to the Public Security Bureau—the workplace of Minister Yu, and the arms hub of all Xiangxi, controlling nearly all of the region’s legal firearms.
“No need, Mr. Bai. The car he sent is waiting outside. We’ll talk again when time allows,” Gu Anxing declined hurriedly.
“The Treasure-Seeking Celestial Cicada isn’t easy to catch, and even if you do, it’s likely to refuse cooperation and die on its own,” someone worried aloud.
In truth, none of them knew what had happened to cause such chaos in this place.
