Chapter 310: Intelligence Specialist

"Let me think—where should I start explaining from…"

Although the process had its bumps, Lin Xiaolu's Squad 629 had, for the time being, finished assembling. Seeing there was still a little while before the assessment officially began, the three of them left the most crowded area and stood on a patch of empty grass nearby. Then the magical girl with the codename Mint began to explain what had actually happened earlier:

"I feel like stating the conclusion first would make communication more efficient—

I looked at Hua Feixue's grim and overbearing gaze and wilted. He was ruthless enough—picking a fight with him would only be asking for trouble. Better not to provoke him.

"Let's go! Huangfu Zhengda has already set up an ambush at the place where Star Fall Hall left—we're not too late yet!" Wu Lei said.

"Pfft…" A very faint sound, and my room was instantly filled with white mist; the temperature began to plummet. It worked.

He gently raised one foot and stepped on Deng Yang's head, pinning the other's skull beneath his foot so that Deng Yang's entire face was pressed flat against the ground.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and nodded: "That works!" Then he took another sip.

Besides, the common people had no idea what was going on. Once something happened, all they'd feel was resentment. Unresolved resentment would breed vengeful ghosts, and once too many of those appeared, it would take a great deal of effort and time to deal with them. Even if I lacked the ability to handle it and the Crystal Tower wouldn't need me to deal with it, I still felt uneasy about it.

After saying that, he was about to pop the remaining half piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth, when a shadow flashed before his eyes. In his moment of stunned distraction, the osmanthus cake pinched in his hand vanished without a trace.

A little past seven in the evening, Fang Chunliang had long since finished his breakfast, and after checking every piece of equipment on his person, he finally drove off toward Yi Shi Ren Sheng.

When Qin Zheng's thoughts turned to his father's whereabouts being unknown—dead or alive—he felt deeply dejected. In the blink of an eye, he noticed the scenery had changed again.

Within his narrow, elongated phoenix eyes, the meaning ran deep and could not be rashly judged. The upturned corner of his lips held a hidden mockery. He gazed for a moment in the direction the black shadow had departed. In the next instant, the person was gone without a trace.

"Dantai Liuying, watch your attitude." Ji Feimo clenched his fists as he stared at Dantai Liuying, killing intent flickering in and out of view.

In the center of the banquet hall, beautiful dancing girls moved in graceful steps, and everyone was indeed mesmerized—but those with an eye for it each harbored their own private thoughts.

Wei Shu naturally paid him no heed, assuming he was looking for a chance to escape, and harshly smacked him on the back with his scabbard.

After Zi Yunyuan left the Sacred Dragon Empire, Zi Duantian did not withdraw the order to protect Zi Yunyuan, so Greedy Wolf and the other two had been protecting Zi Yunyuan all the way until now. The one who had just erased the battle fluctuations was Hai. Precisely because Hai had made a move, Greedy Wolf and the others had appeared before them.

Although he harbored doubts about the man's intentions in doing this, since the old Daoist claimed it could help break the deadlock, he figured hearing the other three stories might not be without benefit. So he held his peace for the moment and adopted an expression of all-ears attentiveness.

The black-robed man's words had barely fallen when, out of thin air, a dozen or so cultivators appeared. Their cultivation levels were uneven, but the weakest among them was at Nascent Soul stage, with most at Deity Transformation stage. The moment they appeared, without a word of nonsense they swarmed forward, their magic treasures lashing out at Mu Sheng and the others.

Ye Qiu'er knew his temperament—once he made up his mind, he would never turn back no matter what. But how could there possibly be any gods in this world, any nine-tailed spirit fox? It was nothing but a sorcerer's trick to deceive people. She hadn't expected that the usually wise Ye Tianlei would actually believe it.

"I've heard about it too. They say every household lost quite a few people! Several families have now joined forces and put up a bounty to investigate the matter," Consort Ru chimed in.

So how could he ever have imagined that the one as close to him as a brother would betray him? People this arrogant always end up falling the hardest.

Fang Mu didn't pay it any mind either, and ordered Liang Yingshi to quickly take him to the place where Liu Mazi had stashed his treasure.

"Yes, sir!" The artillery captain snapped to attention, then turned and headed back to begin making arrangements.

After a moment's hesitation, he called the director of a fire bureau—he knew he was on very good terms with him.

In Jiang Yunshen's words, if you don't let out that pent-up frustration, I reckon the quality of your sleep tonight will suffer.

Just as he was about to leave the office, a stunningly beautiful figure suddenly came crashing into him, cold as ice.

"Damn, no way?" Zhang Feng's eyes went wide as he stared at the two peaks, and on the spot decided they belonged to Qing Yue.

Originally he'd planned to find that guy, then go to the Earth Officer to ask about Yuan Xiaobei's whereabouts, and get this so-called love gu dissolved.

Su Cheng had been fighting continuously, and the flow of qi throughout his body was already somewhat sluggish. His face had grown even paler, and fresh blood from his wounds had already soaked his clothes.

But Zhang Feng was, after all, already level fifty. Whether it was his equipment, his buffing potions, or his poisons, all of it could effectively let Zhang Feng bring his strength to bear.

Actually, what he said wasn't wrong. Because Long Ya knew the bottom-rank Blood Demon Guards were poorly paid, every month he would give those Blood Demon Guards who helped look after the Red Silk Trading Company's business an extra sum of bonus money to subsidize their lives.

Most listeners had long since ignored everything else, sinking in and unable to extricate themselves. But Shen Yu felt chilled all over, as if a venomous snake had coiled around her body and she could never escape its presence.

After a long while, Fu Xi knew he could wait no longer—he had to quickly take Su Naoyan and the others away from here.

"Jianyi, now that Cao Cao's great army has come to attack, are you confident you can repel the enemy?" The full-bearded Jiao Chu asked Zhang Nan across from him.

Jiang Yu's gaze, like that of a predator eyeing prey, gave the old man an inexplicable feeling of having a thorn in his back—even though Jiang Yu was only at half-step Heavenly Realm and posed no threat to him whatsoever.

The Divine Church was located at the center of the Divine City. Those towering palaces resembled imperial palaces, numbering in the hundreds—grand and domineering. All around were powerful formations, heavily guarded; ordinary people simply couldn't sneak in.

The two demonic brats who had originally been about to be smashed to death had already grown into adults, and both had even cultivated Daoist Golden Cores.

The three enormous explosions last night seemed to have left a shock in everyone that still hadn't faded even now.

The only thing that wore them out was that, although the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley had gained many disciples in recent years, true talent had withered. Apart from a few old-timers like themselves holding things up, among the younger generation only Zhu Qing and Yan Feng could barely be considered presentable.

Dongfang Zixuan gathered spiritual power between her palms, a flash of cold light passing through her eyes. Immediately after, she pressed her index and middle fingers together into a sword-finger.

The three items were a pair of crescent axes and a jade vial containing Tribulation Lightning Pills, along with a spirit-tiger-skin Daoist robe, which was currently being worn by Gao Cuilan.
