Chapter 247: Spiritual Inheritance

On the surface, Ma Linuo is now the focus of the future.

He claimed he had been coerced into running the ship aground, that selling his life still left him short of clothes and food, and that in his desperation he had even eaten rats—truly heartbreaking to hear, enough to bring listeners to tears.

Suha's department, on the other hand, declared Ma Linuo an out-and-out traitor, asserted that the Madre Sierra had been set ablaze by Gai Jin, refused all compensation and instead demanded compensation for the Madre Sierra's losses, while putting forward the following conditions:

- Unconditionally return the traitor

After half a day's fuss, he finally understood that Li Longji had brought three Daoist Priests here to inquire about the methods of cultivating immortality.

Chao Vanguard twisted his wrist, intending to slash off Huo Qing's arm in one cut. Who would have thought that Huo Qing's arm would miraculously bend, not only dodging the blade but also driving his fist toward Chao Vanguard's chest. What kind of martial art was this? Chao Vanguard hurriedly raised his arm sideways to block.

"How is it any different? Anyway, it's just looking after our elite team's daily life, running errands for us, doing odd jobs and such. Special consultant? Heh, right! Specially taking care of our living problems." Anthony began to mock.

That was true enough—in informal settings, using formal titles not only sounded odd to Liao Bingkun, but Wang Zhongming also found it awkward calling him that. "Uncle Liao, hello." Wang Zhongming addressed him anew, and sure enough, the atmosphere eased considerably.

"Not bad, look." Bai Su said with a smile, and immediately the legs and arms of the golden battle armor lit up, with four divine ability imprints manifesting.

Just as he was about to respond, his head throbbed with pain, and a domineering, sinister flame surged straight into his Sea of Consciousness, searing toward his divine soul.

With time pressing now, Lin Shuo did not linger to wrangle with him. Cupping his hands once more, he took Tong Guang and flew straight out of the prison.

The flames rose—even though a man may die with a heart of iron, let him try to mend the heavens' cracks; even though Tiance Prefecture's motto is "if it benefits the nation, seek not wealth or rank"; even though in ordinary times the most repeated boast was that dying on the battlefield for one's country was the highest honor—yet within the firelight, over three hundred solemnly standing Tiance Knights could not help but have their eyes well with hot tears.

Then later, when Li Longji became Emperor, imperial power in fact never returned to that cage; it had always been strong and forceful. Only at the beginning did Li Longji also restrain himself, but in the end he stopped restraining himself.

Huo Qing, Anu, Ren Qingkuang and the others had all hidden within the position, their gun barrels rested on snow blocks, each one staring ahead. If the snow bears and those snow wolves showed themselves, they would surely detect them at the first moment.

The Crocodile Turtle clan members here were dumbfounded—the plan was about to succeed, so how had their clan leader been taken by someone?

The wedding arrangements had gone smoothly up until now; only when it came to the pre-planned formal bow ceremony did some troublesome complications arise.

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Liu Ruyao was inwardly delighted. With Lin Mo's help, the probability of this trip's success would be quite different from before. Ge Yi also smiled slightly—after all, for Lin Mo, going together would not only allow him to protect himself but also help Liu Ruyao; this was Lin Mo's own choice.

After that, host and guests were all delighted. If not for that idiot Mo Beibei, Lu Hengchuan would have been even happier.

So in the evening he took the time to gather a few disciples together and lay out some matters—for instance, if something happened to him, who would inherit his share of the dividends.

And now Bai Jiaxuan had suddenly proposed asking him to introduce a few channels in that area. Huo Ting'en wasn't surprised at all and casually agreed.

Lin Siyu swallowed hard, feeling as if Qin Muhan's gaze had a temperature, burning on her body, and couldn't help stepping back.

Luo Yongsheng's eyes went wide as he stared at Chu Ji in disbelief, his pitch rising several degrees.

Being able to go to the bar she had long yearned for, Tang Lin's heart had already flown far away, and she hadn't taken Lu Hengchuan's admonition in at all.

"Pretty, isn't it? Next time we'll try it in the Yaochi Palace." Bei Mingyue said with a smile. She had been in the Yaochi for so long and had never yet stirred up the fish in the Yaochi Palace.
