Chapter 75: The Zou Family Establishes Its Authority

None of the assassins who rushed forward could withstand even a single move from Qin Yu. Very soon, all of them were dealt with. Qin Yu slowly walked toward Zou Ming. The men in black behind Zou Ming were clearly panicking. Before long, Qin Yu stood before the two of them.

“My sister and fiancée—where are they?”

...

“Could it be just my imagination?” Ashura Beetle was filled with doubt as it fixed its gaze on Tang Shi once more. This time, the sense of danger was gone; Tang Shi looked just like an ordinary, chubby man.

When the gourd was identifying the immortal herbs, it had said that these rare longevity herbs could be used to produce a single ‘Immortal Pill’—a pill refined by the gourd itself.

The middle-aged policeman’s expression changed the moment he saw the state security agents arrive. Something felt off—they hadn’t notified state security. Although both belonged to the law enforcement system, state security held greater authority. After all, they were responsible for national security, for catching spies, and had even closer ties to the military and government.

With urgent haste, Spring Breeze returned to Hundred Flowers Island. The way he rushed back made it clear that this matter was connected to the Netherworld. If war broke out between the two realms of Heaven and Earth, the balance of yin and yang would be disrupted, and the seasons in the mortal world would be thrown into chaos. This situation needed to be handled promptly and properly, or calamity would befall all living beings.

“Sometimes... even a cornered dog will leap over the wall,” Xing Feng said with a grin, flashing a set of dazzling white teeth.

At this moment, Mingxin Zhi Buddha had transformed again into the form of the Immortal Lady of Qiongyao, her eyes brimming with tears.

Zhai Wufa crushed all the dragon jade souls into powder and scattered them. He kept half in his hand, tucking them into a sachet for safekeeping, then finally took in his surroundings.

With a furious roar, an arm was raised high and brought down hard upon Tang Shi and his companion. Just as it seemed they would be struck, a beam of light suddenly burst forth.

Yet Ning Zhe felt as if he had punched into cotton; his fist stuck to the Ghost Ancestor’s body, impossible to withdraw.

“You—you weren’t asleep? How did you suddenly wake up?” Huang Rong patted her own bulging chest, clearly startled.

“My lord, when the lady left the residence to stroll, the governor invited her for a chat. She’s quite all right.” Only after he left the palace and was far away did Xiao Yong step forward, following behind with a cold voice.

From the Divine Cloud Continent? A trace of curiosity flickered in Ouyang Ting’s eyes. He had long heard of the Divine Cloud Continent, but had never visited. It was said to be a land forsaken by the gods.

Lu Nishang glanced at Yun Moyu’s chest, her pearly teeth gently biting her slender finger. Her eyes flickered as she began to remove the dark ghostly robe.

Ling Feng couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He felt a tremendous surge of power flood into his body, as if he possessed boundless strength.

“Rose, do you know there are already rumors in the circle about you and Mr. Lian?” Amy leaned in to whisper.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Liang Chengyu’s lips. He said nothing, but his gaze was tinged with coldness and mockery.

In the days that followed, Le Fan often took her out to enjoy the sights. In his garden villa, they would sip tea while he listened to her play the guzheng.

After so many years together, Tang Yun knew perfectly well that Xiao Qi could never kill her. She mustered her courage to meet his gaze.

Phil had originally been left by Xiao Jingchen to watch over Gu Nian, but Gu Nian insisted on coming, threatening to press a fruit knife to her own throat if Phil refused. Seeing this, Phil had no choice but to bring her along.

Though she spoke, her face was radiant with joy. She beamed at Wei Qilang, who found his words caught in his throat. He could only gaze at her lovely face and sigh inwardly, unable to muster any anger toward her, and in the end, he could only shake his head and smile wryly.
