Chapter 34: Recapturing the Hong Family
Seeing Hong Yu’s expression, Hong Deqing’s anger flared uncontrollably. He swung his cane directly at Hong Yu. Hong Yu blocked the blow, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Father, this has nothing to do with Xiangling. It’s just Qin Yu—nothing serious. The Qin family is long gone. Why should we be afraid of a lone Qin Yu?”

The arrow lodged in the ground made it clear that Michael had already been planning to escape. Fortunately, Huang Zhong had shot him down just in time. With the Supreme Tranquility Technique suppressing him and Huang Zhong’s legendary marksmanship keeping guard, dying would be easy for Michael, but fleeing was nearly impossible.
Unlike the other mermen present, this one had an especially prominent mouth, and he liked to end his sentences with a strange lilt, making his speech sound particularly bizarre.
As the Gale Pirates reached an agreement to attend the gathering in the Totland Sea, the other invitations to this tea party were gradually delivered to numerous factions scattered across the New World.
The successive explosions shattered the protective shield around the Huangyan Tiger Demon. Though the tiger leaped swiftly and struck out with countless claws, he was still battered by the violent surge of energy.
The propaganda also claimed that the sudden change in the mask’s appearance after losing control served as evidence; the rampaging mask was actually a second mask—the vessel of original sin. If the claims had stopped there, it would not have been deemed a cult. It was the content that followed that sealed its fate as heresy.
Over the course of ten years, that stone finally finished absorbing the powerful being at the midpoint of the quasi-saint stage.
Such a being, even without true intelligence and more akin to a fearsome beast, still possessed a body so formidable that even demon emperors would struggle to harm it.
After glancing around, Dream Daoist’s eyes lit up with a hint of delight, and he waved for Nezha to follow.
Huang Dongcheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Hu Fei’s words made it clear he intended to completely bring Lan Zhiyuan down. Lan Zhiyuan must have realized this as well, which was why he had hurried off to seek help from the municipal committee that afternoon.
Xu Jiao had never seen anyone pull out an entire strand as smoothly as Qin Ze did. What’s more, his creative process was different from others—normally, music came first, then lyrics.
“No need!” Tao You raised her voice, waving her hands anxiously in refusal. “Professor Tan, please give me two more days. I’ll definitely give you an answer before the end of the month.” The classmates nearby turned curiously, the lively chatter pausing as they listened quietly to their conversation.
Lin Zhixiao and his household wasted no time in having people pin the two troublemakers to the ground and resume beating them with boards.
Li Junxiu slowly opened his eyes, glanced at his surroundings, and realized he was already lying in his bedroom. That blinding white color was what he feared most, yet also what he could never escape.
No matter how timid Wei Dongming was, he was still a man. Hearing these words, he blushed furiously, crouched down, clutching his head in embarrassment.
The men felt their hearts skip a beat, their breathing quickening. Still, their eyes remained clear, without the slightest hint of lewdness.
