Chapter 140: The Treasure Behind the Cave

Although Cao Xin was reluctant to leave, he dared not linger any longer. After all, he was not a legitimate ascendant who had broken through naturally like Sima Qinglian, and he did not dare to walk the Ascension Passage.

Dalong, as if sensing something or sensing nothing at all, followed Zhou Wang out of the office.

Moreover, deterred by those outrageous antics of her family members at the start of the freshman year, even if someone disliked her, they would not dare to harm her.

Why would such an outstanding yet wretched and lustful young man, upon growing up, spend so much time and effort instilling countless rules and rigid mindsets into him?

Upon seeing Cao Xin walk in, he widened his mouth in shock, crying out loudly while gesturing wildly.

"Okay." Shen Zhaozhao did not refuse and quickly squeezed inside. The path ahead grew increasingly wider, and finally, Shen Zhaozhao found herself in a greenhouse blooming with flowers.

When he originally had Sima Qinglian forge some parts of the ritual array, he had made quite a few extra, enough to assemble six or seven sets.

Cao Xin did not yet know what the situation was like here; leaving the items here was far less safe than keeping them in his portable spatial storage.

Wei Shiying's voice suddenly pitched higher, startling Yang Zhimei. Before her heart could calm down, she saw him run over and squeeze in to sit beside Wei Yuanyiu.

After Young Master Zhao Bei arranged for Huang Xiao to find someone to spare Tang Xinyu's life, he immediately set off for his clan to announce the commencement of the successor election assembly.

After the two of them consumed the raw food, they waited for over two hours without any abnormalities in their bodies. Only then did Shopkeeper Luo heave a long sigh of relief and wave his hand to have the items cleared away.

At this moment, I could only act like a turtle hiding in its shell. As for what others might think, I could only pretend I knew nothing.

My body trembled incessantly, partly from fear of the people from the auction house, and partly because I was deliberately putting on a pitiful act in front of him.

Right at that moment, a flash of golden light illuminated the sky above the Netherworld Palace, accompanied by the roars of dragons and the cries of phoenixes. Then, a dragon and a phoenix descended from the heavens, illuminating the gloomy underworld. The sinful and un-reincarnatable malevolent ghosts of the netherworld were purified, and suddenly clarity filled their hearts, causing them to forget all grievances and hurts.

The cold wind blew for a long time until he could not help sneezing twice, and finally he spoke to me about the second matter.

Yet we must still say that in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy or trickery becomes an illusory bubble. This strange army of daimyos left Shimazu Takao somewhat baffled, but it must be said that Shimazu Hisatada truly had fathered a good son, and he had fallen ill at the most opportune time.

A rich aroma of home-cooked food drifted from the room—not the elaborate dishes of a grand restaurant, but ordinary meals of everyday family life.

Those who have never tried it will never know that some memories hover right on the tip of the tongue, only to be blocked by something, refusing to emerge no matter what.

"Step aside." Grandmother suddenly pulled her aside, her expression icy as she strode toward Lightning, her hand already raised in a slap.

A sense of chaos began to stir in Junyang's heart. Before leaving, he had used chaotic energy to forge a transmission jade slip; whenever Anuo encountered danger, she could use it to reach him no matter where he might be—yet Junyang prayed that Anuo would never have to use this jade slip in her lifetime.

"Go, summon all the townspeople here! If we fail to hold the city, everyone is finished!" Seeing that the city gates were about to fall, the city defense commander grew desperate. With insufficient forces, he had no choice but to beg the citizens to defend the city together.

However, to strike straight at the heart and take down the enemy chieftain was indeed not that easy. When Monkey was still three hundred yards away from Lu Jianfei's location, a figure wielding a giant axe ambushed him from the side, blocking his path to completing his mission.

The burly man called Tuoka by the others ignored him and instead laughed heartily, though a hint of ferocity and ruthlessness gradually surfaced in his eyes.

Of course, there were still some extraordinary individuals among the dwarves who, after exerting effort ten times greater than ordinary humans, finally gained a shred of fame and recognition.

"There are plenty of people who want to keep me as a mistress, but my heart already belongs to someone else, and I have no desire for that. If certain people are willing, however, I wouldn't mind chasing after them instead." She cast an extremely resentful gaze at Wang Cheng.

Luo Haochen wore a look of utter indifference. Anyway, this was not the first time he had heard Luo Jingtian's scolding, so he just took it as a daily routine.

They all stepped forward to stand up for their master. At this point, Chen Xuyang, who had remained silent all along, stepped forward and stared at them coldly. He looked like a lone wolf guarding its territory, and his meaning was crystal clear: try it if you dare.

The arrival of these people tremendously stimulated the economy of the French Concession. Furthermore, the French Concession could levy a head tax on them.

This meant that his position in Chu Jianghe's heart was not high. On this trip abroad, even if Chu Jianghe brought gifts back upon his return to China, he probably wouldn't get a share.

Xiaoju and Man Shengheng locked eyes for at least thirty seconds. During this time, Xiaoju searched his memory for any relevant information, but ultimately found no impression whatsoever.

"Zhaozhao, my good darling, Mother thought she would never see you again. Sob, sob, sob, sob—" Madam He tightly embraced Qiao Zhao and burst into loud sobs.

Having immediately sensed something amiss, I ordered another giant snake left in the mortal realm to go into the urn and investigate what was happening.

"In the afternoon, first loosen the binding wire ties, and by dusk, order the concrete. Once it arrives, pump it directly for pouring." For safety's sake, Chu Jianghe still instructed Zhang Shengqiang to be careful.
