Chapter 963: Digging at the Roots; Invitations

Unlike the talent show *Idol Producer*, which exploded across the entire internet with Fan Chengcheng, Cai Xukun, and others, the film *The Nest* dragged Li Bingbing along with it as it plunged into the abyss.

It grossed 20.76 million on Friday, was slashed in half to 11.67 million on Saturday, and plummeted again to 6.72 million on Sunday.

Over its first three-day weekend, this Sino-US co-production *The Nest* barely managed to scrape together 39.19 million in box office revenue; its critical reception collapsed across the board, and the final outcome was clear at a glance:

Rolling yellow sand and black smoke swept in instantly, closing in on Tang Seng under the giant dragon's control, swallowing him almost instantly and obscuring his figure from view.

Li Jian's expression tightened as he looked toward the direction of the battle; it was very close to them, appearing to be no more than five *li* away.

"Pah, based on him? How have I never heard of any 'battle realm'!" one expert retorted against this claim.

"Fifth Young Master, your near-death at the hands of the Fourth Lady was caused by me; how could I dare to accept this apology from you?" Su Ruoyao said.

As soon as she finished speaking, the two people behind her looked uneasy and began to hesitate. At the same time, a figure appeared on the hillside—a massive figure that shocked them both.

Everyone was jolted awake and looked on in alarm. At distances of one hundred, two hundred, and three hundred *zhang*, three people each were moving forward when the spirit stone rain filled their bodies. After their *dantian* seas were completely saturated and unable to discharge the energy, they were forcibly ruptured by the spirit stone rain, and one after another, they died on the spot.

Su Ruoyao also praised Cheng Yanzhong's keen eye for talent: "Yiguan, you really do have a discerning eye. Ru Yan has indeed always been in love with Yanzhong. When she first entered the family, she was also confused and jealous because of my presence, but later she thought it through and now gets along with me like a sister."

No matter how formidable Luo Wusheng's acupoint-striking technique was, he was at a disadvantage in terms of distance. Furthermore, A-Dao was more than a level stronger than Zhuo Yue, and A-Dao easily dodged Luo Wusheng as he lunged over.

The young man was completely speechless. He knew that Brother Ye had come from the special forces, and everything he said was solid, reasonable, and well-founded; there was simply no way to refute it. Yet he was unwilling to accept it. No one had ever dared to hit him, let alone make him suffer a setback. Could it really just end like this?

Everyone's eyes lit up involuntarily, and Mayor Ding was even more astonished. Since when had Angang become so easy to talk to? The conditions they offered were actually this high.

However, Lianzi did not choose the things Zi had brought from the outside. Inside, she even saw firearms, but for the future, those were already quite old-fashioned antiques—unstable and with poor power.

On his first long voyage, Li Yan was very excited. Every day, he and Ao Bai would fish on the deck using specially made rods. These rods were designed using the principle of opening city gates, allowing them to pull up large fish, and the fishing lines could withstand weights of several dozen kilograms. The fish they caught were even heavier—not ordinary fish, but sharks.

This was also the reason why Wang Pengyu wanted to do his best to ensure the safety of the Wang family and other close clansmen. In this chaotic world, kinship and family power were the most reliable things. What kept more than fifty Chinese people gathered together was the phrase "descendants of Yan and Huang."

Cecilia did not stop; she raised one hand above her head, and thousands of light arrows shot toward Pride. The light arrows stopped in front of Pride, then reflected back from around Pride, shooting directly at Cecilia.

The order these people received from Li Batian was: no matter who it is, no matter what their status, as long as they enter the hospital, kill them without exception.

There were many animals enclosed by fences over there; chickens, ducks, fish, meat, cows, and sheep were everywhere.

"A mere shell to attract souls, creating a semblance of the Underworld, and you dare call yourself the King of the Underworld? Do you even know what the real Underworld looks like?" Lian Hua's face was full of sarcasm.

Ao Bai's heart was shaken violently. Now that the commander's camp was moving, it would be impossible to hurt Nurhaci anymore, right? The fortunate thing was that he no longer faced the risk of dying young. ===== CHAPTER 964 =====
