Chapter 97: The Early Appearance of Changhe (2.8k)

“Sir Lin, you spoke absolutely brilliantly during your BBC interview—I didn’t miss a single minute.”

At Wenefield Shanzhuang, Xu Aizhou, whom Lin Ran had personally invited to attend his knighthood ceremony, paid him this compliment.

On the eve of his departure from London, Lin Ran finally made time to meet him.

“Thank you for your praise—I merely spoke my honest thoughts.”

I desire peace, and I believe most people do too.

If the East Market suddenly ceased selling live poultry and vegetables, it would inevitably provoke fierce discontent among the officials.

With his palm facing downward and fingers slightly spread, Qingzhu summoned the Illusionary Bow; though the Five-Heart Violet Thunder was not as effective against ghost cultivators as against physical entities, it could still suppress them to some degree.

Once Google gives up, Qualcomm will immediately resume supplying Huawei, and all problems will be resolved effortlessly.

He also sent someone with three fine horses and ten water-dog hides to the lake to find Hulü and Alibu, telling them the tribe had encountered trouble and would be occupied for a while—so he couldn’t join them to hunt deer.

Gasping for breath, he immediately pulled out his phone and called the old man, explained the situation, and asked whether they should report it to the police or what else to do.

“Gentlemen, no need to see me off.” Zhao Dexun mounted his horse, waved to the crowd, and galloped away in a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, in the fighter jets overhead, all pilots stared straight ahead, fixed on the seemingly slow-moving Changsheng Sect and the great golden dragon coiled above its grounds.

Seeing this, Meng Tutu Youpi, who had already taken a step forward but hadn’t yet spoken, silently retracted his foot.

“Take a rest—tonight you’ll sleep well.” Yuan Zhe yawned, closed his eyes, and lay his head on Rongdi’s lap.

After relentless investigation and sacrificing over a dozen of his own hairs, Wang Chen finally found the cause of the crystal’s intermittent flash after charging.

Cheng Xiaowan grimaced and sipped slowly—she never liked sweets, and drinking such a large bowl every day made it impossible to eat meals.

Jun Tianheng narrowed his eyes dangerously; he had long wanted to eliminate Zhan Yi as a menace, yet never imagined he was Chu Jiang’s son, hiding in Chu Jiang’s own stronghold.

Upon the blood armor were engraved demonic runes; on both shoulders loomed two ferocious demonic heads, eyes wide open, radiating a ravenous glow.

Cheng Yun wrapped his arms around her waist, lifted her up, and landed them both atop a riverside tree—its dense canopy blotted out the sky and sun.

Then Che Yu stepped past the boy in pink, facing Hao Ge head-on. Hao Ge’s injuries from days ago had not yet healed; seeing Che Yu charge toward him like a heavy truck, he instinctively stepped back to dodge—Che Yu had anticipated this, took one extra step forward, and swung his right fist, knocking Hao Ge down beside the blue-haired boy.

“Wu wu wu… hehe hehe…” Che Enxi cried with emotion, weeping yet unable to stop laughing, leaving Ge Feng both exasperated and amused.

In the deep darkness, a brilliant light flashed as bright as daylight; a slender figure stood before the flames. The surrounding radiance made him appear even darker—he rose above the city wall’s edge, then the light faded and the shadow landed lightly atop the rampart.

“Alright, wait for my update—I’ll dig up every last secret about him within two days!” Chen Jie nodded in agreement.

Even Wu Yan the King, famed in intelligence circles as “Number One in the Jianghu,” had failed to uncover the true origins of the Beggar’s Sect.

“Ancestor, today I’ve come here only to ask you one question.” Hearing the words of the Zulong’s residual soul, Xia Yan knew that only now did the ancient spirit believe him; he spoke then, softly and gently.

A meat Biao is when someone hires escorts—for instance, officials or wealthy merchants who feel their own guards aren’t enough, and thus hire a Biaoju to protect them.

Only then can one have the chance to shine as brilliantly as Su Sheng and become the revered Saint Sovereign, the envy of all cultivators in this realm.
