Chapter 144: He Is Finished (First Installment)

To think that the woman had managed to attach herself to such a person!

Both men’s expressions grew grave. After exchanging a look, they lightened their footsteps even further as they moved forward.

Upon reaching the door of the Heaven-rank Suite No. 1, Xu Changhong was about to recklessly shove a tube filled with anesthetic through the door, but Xu Changmao whispered, "Wait, let me check the situation first."

When they had arrived, they had heard some movement inside the room, though the sounds were faint.

These matters were simply impossible to explain clearly; they were truly vexing, and who could really say what was what? It left one feeling utterly helpless.

After hearing this, Xiang Long shot her a glance and then addressed the others, "Everyone go back. You have disappointed me too much." With that, he turned and left with Jie'er.

"Yang Lin, come back! It has nothing to do with him; I was the one who wanted to spar with him," Xiao Yaxi shouted at the man named Yang Lin.

"Brother Ming does not seem to care at all about the lives of his subordinates," Zhu Mei'er said coldly.

Sawin slept for three full days. Celia could wait no longer and returned to Salem City first, leaving only Eliza in the underground palace to continue waiting for Sawin to wake up.

"Based on our previous observations, there is a small amount of firearms here. As for the enemies, they look no different from ordinary folk, but that is only on the surface. They are dangerous, and there is no telling what kind of horrific things they might do," Liu Shengqiang said with a stern expression.

I was startled and tried to reach out to cover my mouth, but only then did I realize that this guy was trying to take over my body. I truly had no way to resist. To my surprise, however, I clearly felt my mouth move, yet I could not hear any sound, as if I were performing in a silent play.

"We will talk after we see Sister Zhu." Wang Licheng’s mind was occupied with how to negotiate with Sister Zhu and plug the hole; at this moment, he could not be bothered with Old Six.

She asked this because the waiters did not have the black mist that had entered their room clinging to them; naturally, the trails in the hallway would determine that it had been brought in by someone else.

As he finished speaking, his gaze turned cold. "Someone has been here?" Before I could react, his figure flickered and he vanished at the entrance. The sudden change happened so quickly that I didn't even know what had occurred. I pushed myself up from the floor, my legs numb from sitting cross-legged for so long, and I was forced to stand stiffly in place until the tingling sensation faded.

Although he could tolerate weakness, he would never allow it to become his defining trait. Therefore, to ensure such weakness would not manifest again, he had to become stronger, and the only path to strength was cultivation. Thus, after this night, his heart’s yearning for the Way burned more intensely than ever.

Whenever the Princess of Yonghe stayed in the palace for a time, she would return to her ancestral home in Hezhong. Tonight was a performance arranged for her by Princess Taiping. The Princess of Yonghe, having heard of Li Guinian’s fame, broke tradition for the first act and requested that Li Guinian perform in person, choosing from the plays he had rehearsed.

Yang Lin was not worried about the authenticity of the news; the raiders lacked the courage to deceive him. He was now the benefactor of the Demon Clan, and equipment was their only luxury. Most of the supplies brought from the outside were traded for gear.

However, the moment Black Wing moved, a sharp glint flashed in Wu Ying’s eyes, and a barely perceptible smile curled his lips. Clearly, even in his stealth state, every move Black Wing made was under Wu Ying’s control.

He had gained three nine-star mythical-level henchmen, though Wang Chen had promised they would not be forced into suicidal battles. Furthermore, pets were not familiars, and it was impossible for the three Demon Kings to be truly loyal to him; he had other plans for them.

"Let me try. I’m going to die anyway," Zhao Yun suddenly whispered from where he lay on the ground, just as the two were caught in a dilemma.

Sitting on the sidelines, "Zen Master" Phil Jackson heaved a helpless sigh, then signaled to "The Beast" Artest, who was sitting not far away, telling him to prepare to enter the game.
