Chapter 969: Digging Up the Roots; An Invitation

Unlike the talent show *Idol Producer*, which exploded in popularity across the web with Fan Chengcheng, Cai Xukun, and others, the film *Guardians of the Tomb* dragged Li Bingbing along with it as it plunged into the abyss.

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

Over the first three-day weekend, this Sino-American blockbuster *Guardians of the Tomb* barely managed to rake in 39.19 million at the box office; its critical reception collapsed across the board, and the final outcome was clear at a glance:

Rolling yellow sands and black smoke swept over in an instant, closing in on Tang Xuanzang under the dragon's control, almost immediately submerging him until his figure could no longer be seen.

Li Jian’s expression tightened as he looked toward the direction of the battle; it was very close to them, no more than five miles away.

"Hmph, just based on him? How come I’ve never heard of any combat realm!" one expert argued against this claim.

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

As soon as the words fell, 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 astonishment; at one hundred, two hundred, and three hundred zhang, there were three people each moving forward when the rain of spirit stones filled their bodies, and after their dantian seas were fully saturated and unable to discharge the energy, they were forcibly burst by the spirit stone rain, dying one after another in an instant.

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

No matter how powerful Luo Wusheng’s acupoint-striking technique was, he was at a disadvantage in terms of distance, and A Dao was more than a level higher than Zhuo Yue, so A Dao easily dodged the lunging Luo Wusheng.

The young man was completely speechless; he knew that Brother Ye had come from the special forces, and every point he made was solid, grounded, and impossible to refute. But he was unwilling to accept this; no one had ever dared to hit him, let alone make him look like a fool—could it really just end like this?

Everyone’s eyes lit up, and Mayor Ding was even more astonished; since when was Angang so easy to talk to, and why were the conditions so high?

However, Lianzi did not choose the things that Zi had brought from the outside; she also saw firearms inside, 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, fishing on the deck every day with Ao Bai using a special fishing rod; this type of rod was designed using the principle of opening city gates, capable of pulling up large fish, and the fishing line could withstand dozens of kilograms of weight. And the fish they caught were even heavier—not ordinary fish, but sharks.

This was also the reason why Wang Pengyu wanted to preserve the safety of the Wang family and other close clansmen as much as possible; in this chaotic world, kinship and family power were the most reliable things, and what kept more than fifty Chinese people gathered together were the words "descendants of Yan and Huang."

Cecilia did not stop, raising one hand above her head as thousands of light arrows shot toward Pride; the light arrows stopped in front of Pride and 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, anyone who enters the hospital is to be killed without exception.

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

"A mere shell to attract souls, making a show of the Underworld River and calling yourself the King of the Underworld River—do you even know what the real Underworld River looks like?" Lianhua’s face was full of sarcasm.

Ao Bai was deeply shocked. Now that the command camp was moving away, it would be impossible to hurt Nurhaci again, right? Fortunately, he was also no longer at risk of dying young.
