Chapter 151: Wang Yulou, You Must Be Ruthless—Harden Your Heart! (12K, 463 Secured!)

On the Discourse Pavilion, after Wang Yaohai dismissed his few followers, the group sat down to review the gains and losses of the first Exchange Fa Hui.

"Yulou, the total transaction volume today at the Exchange Fa Hui was nearly thirty thousand spirit stones—shouldn't this count as a success?"

Old Fan was always meticulous; he had been calculating the transaction totals all along.

"The problem now is that we only collect membership fees from participants—one spirit stone per person."

If we could take a cut from this total transaction volume

They were all seasoned veterans; they all saw that Liu Yun had taken a liking to Zhang Fan. Though not yet deeply in love, Liu Yun would not take another lover in the short term, and might never take a royal consort again in her life.

"Isn't it Qiongqi? The thing inside him?" Ye Han suddenly asked, feeling as if his strength had been completely drained—the Dragon Blood Frenzy state had fully ended, and he now entered a weakened state.

Lu Xiaohang and Baker arrived at the pipe entrance Jiang Si had indicated. He told Baker to stay behind, release the gas upon command, then retreat immediately.

"Director Zhou, when will the laboratory's instruments and equipment arrive?" Liao Yuancheng, being technical, couldn't hold back and asked directly.

After speaking, he closed his eyes again and fell silent—no one knew whether he had fallen asleep.

Jiang Sen spoke a few words to the hidden sentries and warned them to raise their vigilance. Then the three of them led their horses toward the mountain peak, passing through dense forest, turning several corners, until they spotted the cave still glowing with campfires—exhaustion washed over them like a weight lifted.

"Ling'er, I heard your Hangcheng is holding another Life-and-Death Duel soon. Looks like I arrived just in time," Cha Ruling said, watching Shangguan Ling sip tea with elegant poise.

Before he could react, his entire body was encased in stone. Only his eyes remained mobile; his limbs were utterly immobilized.

No one knew why, but everyone was gripped by dread, terrified that this sovereign of countless trillions of lives would strip them of their lives—or even their souls.

The more he ran, the stronger his unease grew; when he entered the room and looked around, there was no trace of Yan Xia Qingshan.

The deputy general's tone was no longer as confident as at first—his subordinates' demands grew higher with each passing one.

"The Western Factory has long conspired with my fourth brother—and now they dare to plot against me!" Xiao Yan's expression blazed with furious rage.

Indeed, now that the maternal clan has arrived and given them backing, they no longer cower as they once did.

Old Master Wang stared as his son suddenly bounded over, full of vigor; even at his age, seasoned and worldly, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.

They can also use corresponding technology to concentrate a star's light—through reflection, refraction, and other simple methods—into a single beam of terrifying energy density.

Merely devising a method to issue national bonds at the banquet alone already sets him apart from peers of his age.

It is clearly foreseeable that if the Eighth Route Army behind us is not swiftly crushed, vast manpower and resources will inevitably be poured into combating them, greatly burdening the locust army.

Gu Nanwan's eyes flew wide open, but she sensed a figure blocking her—sword light flashed, and the acidic fluid instantly corroded his blade, emitting a sizzling sound before him.

She had expected Wen Yu Xianjun to burst through the door, but the footsteps had actually stopped—right outside the room.

The elder nodded, raised his sword finger as well, aligning it with the tip of his nose, then remained still—this gesture was complete.

Han Fei froze, looked up—and saw a sword slowly materialize between the nine long swords! This sword was not a massive stone blade, but one with subdued radiance, its entire body a lustrous sapphire blue! As this sword appeared, a flood of sword qi surged violently into the air.
