Volume 1, Chapter 154: Paparazzi

Although the two were not his biological children, they had stayed by his side and accompanied him for many years, creating an unbreakable bond and a deep, lingering affection in his heart.

Lin Yixian chased after them for several zhang, only to see Li Tianqi retreating from the woods. What on earth had he seen?

According to Lin Tiancheng’s previous calculations, the energy reserve of a grandmaster-realm expert should be roughly twice that of someone who had not yet entered the grandmaster realm.

With a solemn and serious expression, Tang Feng began the treatment. First, as if performing a magic trick, he suddenly "conjured" several one-inch-long fine silver needles in his hand.

Ever since his last mission failed, Yin Qing's days had been difficult. If it were not for the critical shortage of manpower, Yin Qing knew he would have been executed nine times out of ten. Even now, he was serving under suspended death sentences; if Lin Yumeng were truly allowed to escape, his life would genuinely come to an end.

Snakes and rats are exceptionally adept at restraining elephant monsters. Therefore, the moment Chiyou transformed into his elephant form, the Seven-Star Turquoise Sword would instantly transform into a green snake to engage and fight the elephant-monstrosity Chiyou.

Mo Fan was startled and hurriedly picked up Huang Xuan, channeling his internal energy into her body. The moment they made contact, he discovered that the aura within Huang Xuan was in absolute chaos, teetering on the verge of a cultivation deviation.

Fissures spread across the surface one after another, and finally, with a crisp sound, the surrounding tension shattered—it was broken.

Old Madame Ye looked at Tong Shuang, and that look of utter terror was almost enough to make Old Madame Ye believe she had nothing to do with this matter at all.

Rui Xi knew that Old Madame Ye had always regarded Cao Liangse’s child as the apple of her eye, so how dare she be negligent? She promptly withdrew with Qiluo, rushing off to attend to their respective duties.

"Go ahead and kill me. To tell you the truth, even if you don't kill me, the Manor Lord will. Moreover, if his methods are far more ruthless than yours, I might as well die at your hands instead," General Tianyu said bitterly, glaring at Tianyu.

When the Great Sun Golden Crow spoke, Chu Yun stared intently into his eyes, trying to determine whether he was lying or telling the truth.

Director Guan saw that the other party was aggressive and worried that Nie Feng would suffer a disadvantage within his jurisdiction, making it difficult to give an adequate explanation to the Xiao family later on.

"I feel that relying solely on the Wind Crossbow Guards and the Phoenix Feather Guards is still not enough. It would be best if they could also see that Brother Xuan has returned as well. That way, they will pay even closer attention and not dare to act rashly," Zhu'er thought for a moment and said.

The elderly man addressed as Uncle Lin was the steward of the Lin family. Having grown up in the Lin family since childhood, he was even granted the surname Lin by them. He was fiercely loyal to the household, making him arguably the most faithful person to the Lin siblings today.

Another figure walked out from the Thunder Venerable Mansion. Their momentum was noticeably much more formidable than the one Zhang Yi had just faced. Judging by their cultivation level, it seemed to have reached the peak of the Ninth Realm of Spirit Absorption, making them extremely powerful.

Yet at this moment, he suddenly felt how feeble his Tai Chi Gate kung fu truly was, rendering him too ashamed to speak of it and make a fool of himself.

"Your treasures? These divine artifacts—the Leo Battle Axe, the Kusanagi Sword, and the Rebirth Robe—are clearly the supreme national treasures of our three nations. They were inexplicably stolen not long ago, and to our surprise, they ended up in the possession of Huaxia, who even shamelessly displays them openly in cabinets," the British representative shouted loudly.

The injuries on his body were inflicted by the Nine-Sun Hammer technique from Maoshan Taoism. Could it be that he ran into Fan Lin of the Maoshan Sect? Just how formidable was this Fan Lin to have caused such a heavy loss to this flashy-faced fellow?

A martial arts expert at such a young age—given time, if he stepped into the Martial Sealing Realm and became a martial arts grandmaster, the weight of such a milestone was something he, as a true heavyweight figure of Haizhou, understood all too well.

At this moment, faint sounds of battle and shouting drifted from outside. The two factions had actually started fighting for real. It seemed that this group of people were truly absolute die-hard loyalists of Fang Wenxin.

Immediately afterward, Wang Ming suddenly recalled something. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his old friend, Sun Tong.

"I want to say, stop acting so mystical and superstitious. You really haven't seen my dad! Calm down! I genuinely thought you were possessed by a ghost right now!" Gu Meng said every single word distinctly, attempting to make Guan Chenji calm down.

"Haha... Good. Tianyu, you truly live up to being my good nephew and my good successor." The mysterious man descended lightly in front of Ye Tianying. Beneath him was a chair that looked crude yet extraordinarily remarkable. His face remained as unsightly as ever, but it could not conceal a surging excitement.

Since he wanted the food he cooked to leave Liu Quan completely convinced and speechless, Li An naturally needed to have absolute confidence. After all, Liu Quan's mouth grew on Liu Quan's face, and ordinary people simply could not stop him from saying whatever he pleased.

Tianjiao paid no mind to Yin Rongyu, nor did he embrace Gu Lian to weep bitterly and comfort each other. That kind of melodrama did not suit them.

Furthermore, his deliberate act of offering seats to Leng Yue and Feng Qiye earlier was also a calculated move designed to lower their guard and make them drop their defenses.

I hope the sisters in the villa can all find their own true love! May you all walk into the blessed halls of happy marriage with the men of your hearts. No matter where I am, I will always pray for your happiness.

"Alright, let's settle it at that," Fang Wenxin said with a hint of excitement in his voice. The strength of the Dragon Gate was clearly not as weak as imagined; if the White Wolf Gang fought against the Dragon Gate, both sides would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

After all, once the Supreme Demon Emperor was held in check, the remaining super patriarchs at the Mahayana and Tribulation Transcendence stages could free up their hands to deal with other experts from the allied forces of the demon, ghost, and monster tribes. Super experts on the level of the Great Demon King—cultivators whose strength was in no way inferior to the Mahayana-stage patriarchs—would then be neutralized.

I am, after all, your paternal clan uncle. Now that I am kneeling before you, aren't you afraid it will shorten your lifespan? I am merely a warehouse keeper, after all.
