Volume One, Chapter 30: We Are All Outsiders

When all the disciples of the Western Desert Sect present heard how Ning Tao addressed Meng Qingzhi, they were left staring in stunned disbelief. Meng Qingzhi looked several years younger than Ning Tao, yet he was already a senior master of their generation.

Even if some had been admiring their appearances, the repeated coughing ringing in their ears was enough to vex their minds and extinguish all their pleasure. At that moment, they felt a profound terror.

After discovering the pattern, Cao Ping immediately felt as though he had swallowed a calming pill, and his tension eased. Seizing the right moment, he braced his right arm against the wall, spun halfway around, and tapped the ground with his toes, landing safely on the floor.

A perfectly healthy man had imprisoned himself in a wheelchair fitted with all manner of electronic instruments, replacing his limbs with robots and his vocal cords with brain waves. He proclaimed that the body was merely a container of limited capacity, a shackle one ought to strive to break free from.

In the end, he chose the electrical-appliance industry—the very reason Excellent Electrical Appliances Company had been founded.

Yet now, Chen Yutian had cleverly overturned his previous deduction by examining the places touched by the scented powder.

“Brother Zhang, what’s wrong with you?”

In the end, only that bewildered voice remained there. Before it could spread any farther, however, a night breeze scattered it completely.

It was not difficult to see that Chang’e, who had remained nearby watching in silence, was now strolling over at her leisure. Her beautiful eyes were filled with smugness and confidence. It was hard to imagine that she appeared even more beautiful at that moment.

“Zero Point Bar?” Yu Qian murmured to himself. Only then did he remember the promise he had made at the Yongzhi Building, and he decided to go to Zero Point Bar and take a look.

As a professional who followed the beast-control path of the monster-beast class, whether one had undergone the second advancement or not naturally had nothing to do with one’s own strength. The strength of one’s monster beasts was the true measure of such a professional’s power.

“I don’t know the details, but since the Roc Eagle left this place, that matter must be extremely important to it,” the Heavenly Lion said.

“I’m sorry.” After Liang Feihong spoke, he fixed his eyes on the monstrous beast as though he wanted to devour it, then joined the others in slashing at it.

But no matter what the monk said, he refused to believe them. He assumed the three had merely invented an excuse because they had been unable to defeat their opponents. After all, there was nothing shameful about being beaten by their leader.

“Boom!”

At that moment, Ruyi could bear it no longer. It slammed its head into the stone wall beside it, sending shattered rock flying and scattering across the cavern.

The ninja on the opposite side tried to use ninjutsu, but the guards had charged forward at the very first opportunity, disrupting their formation. There were a hundred silver-badge guards in total, with half of them stationed here and the other half at the entrance to the Yang Corporation. In terms of numbers, they held an absolute advantage.

Yet now, the group had no choice but to stand their ground. They gritted their teeth and poured out every remaining trace of immortal power within them, urging their final summoned trump card into action with all their might.

Although Ao Jiang was nominally the leader of the group, Ning Zhe’s performance throughout their journey had made him the true soul of the team. Thus, after he said this, everyone expressed their agreement.

The police had come to the door, and they were looking for Chen Han. Wang Xue immediately remembered the hooligans they had encountered on the road earlier.

As soon as Chu Yun finished speaking, an incomparably resonant voice suddenly rang out from beneath him and the others.

The jade pendant fragments in Lin Yu’s hand had already lost their precious radiance. His heart was now filled with questions as well. What he had valued in Qin Feng from the beginning was his character—honest and steadfast. Yet Qin Feng had been gone for four months and still had not returned. He had not even sent back a single communication talisman.

Along the way, the members of the special combat team regarded the group with strange looks. They could not understand why Captain Chang, who usually seemed so lofty in their eyes, was being so courteous to these three local people today.

The red fur on its body had almost completely fallen away, leaving it blue. Sensing Ye Qingcheng’s contempt for foxes, the blue-furred water fox darted wildly around within the contract formation, insisting that it was not like that at all.

Li Qiutong was selfish by nature. How could she practice a dual-cultivation method? The one-sided art of plundering cultivation suited her far better and was much more to her liking.

Nearby, Tian Hong gazed at the young man before him. Though he still felt some resistance in his heart, he could not help secretly admiring him. The boy’s performance throughout the entire hunting battle had thoroughly won him over. Even Tian Hong himself could not have done as well.

He had spoken up earlier only because Qin Fan looked like an ordinary student, and he could not bear to watch him be cheated. But if he had explained things too explicitly, he would have damaged the reputation of Precious Jade Workshop and violated its rules.

The passage was pitch-black. Fortunately, the Fire Lion Beast was present, and the flames blazing from its body illuminated everything within twenty meters with perfect clarity.

Mu Youchen’s gaze fell upon the distance. Every sentence he spoke was harsher than the last; his tenderness had always belonged solely to her.

Moreover, she slowly recalled the Empress Dowager’s attitude during that earlier period and only then realized that the woman had been far too kind.

The holy radiance had only just resisted the onslaught when the edge of the black light pierced through the gap, striking directly at the connection point of Xing Tianyao’s spell talisman. It even passed through it and pierced into the Star River Battle Armor.

Xiuzhen understood her mother-in-law. In the past, the old woman had been the mistress in charge of major household affairs and an expert at directing the servants’ work. As someone who had once stood high above everyone else, she had long since no longer needed to concern herself with assigning tasks. Now that the family had fallen into such ruin, she had burdened the old lady with worry once again.

Everyone in the tent swore an oath before the gods that nothing that happened that day would ever be revealed.

As Ye Bei had been growing somewhat bored while entrenched in the City of Doom, he readily agreed when he heard Caesar’s proposal.

“A-Ding, stand guard for me. I’ll find out why this child was sealed.”

After Han Yu finished speaking, he sat cross-legged before the child, and his spiritual power began to seep into the child’s body.

“Just this once.”

When Li Yi entered the room again, he placed the bowl of medicine back in front of her.

“If you die, I’ll tell you!”

Lin Li’s mastery of Armament Haki was not very high. Breaking his gunshaft earlier had already pushed him to his limit. He could only stall for time and wait for Muka-ge to recover so they could retreat. After all, he was at his most vulnerable whenever he transformed into an egg.
