203、Karmic Retribution (6K, 1/1)

“Squeak—”

Room 603’s door was pushed open.

Xu Xiangfei walked ahead.

A noose wrapped around his neck as Zhou Chang shoved him into the room.

Zhou Chang’s gaze fell on the shoe rack beside the entrance; without a word, Xu Xiangfei crouched down, pulled out a stack of brand-new insoles from a shoebox on the third row of the rack.

From those insoles, Xu Xiangfei retrieved a pale yellow talisman.

The talisman was preserved

As usual, she had to account for many contingencies when traveling, never neglecting propriety—besides clothing, she carried powder, rouge, handkerchiefs, and accessories matched to each outfit.

This cave was dug halfway up the mountain, facing a waterfall where wind blew droplets onto it.

Xu Lei had planned to recite all his prepared speech, but Qin Yu was so direct.

For others, it would be impossible to divert attention to another cultivation system, since mastering one’s own ability already consumed nearly all time and energy; distraction would yield little achievement.

Actually, she had deliberately changed clothes because certain positions she had in mind required sharp observational skills.

More than ten minutes later, Mr. Pierre returned to the lobby with a white man around fifty—this elder must be Mr. Beruguet.

“Fine, fine, as long as we seize the gravel and make Li Wan and the others leave this house, my brother and I can split it however we want,” Li Qichuan said carelessly.

After Xiahou You’s funeral, Xiahou Yu made her decision: once she settled her younger brother’s affairs, she would reconcile with the Xiao family, find A He, then travel the world with A He and others to see if Penglai Immortal Island truly existed—and where exactly was Kunlun Mountain?

Logically, his perceptiveness should not differ much from Yu Yu’s, though in logical details he was far inferior.

“What exactly is this Law Hall? And who is this Director Yu Si?” Pang Xie asked in a low voice.

Qin Yuan grinned bitterly, deeply discouraged—he considered himself relatively intelligent among his peers, yet compared to these freaks, he was still far below their level.

At this moment, Gu Chen sighed, slowly shook his head, his heart filled with disappointment.

She clenched her fist, swallowing back the words on her tongue, watching as Wang Yuan exerted force—this 180-centimeter, hundred-kilogram man was lifted entirely by one arm, his black leather shoes hovering over the ground by more than ten centimeters, kicking desperately but unable to touch the floor.

Su Xue, struck by Wang Yuan’s knife-like gaze, felt a searing heat and tingling itch in her chest, her limbs suddenly weak; she quickly averted her eyes from Wang Yuan, thinking of Cai Tou, and felt somewhat better.

Master Bai Shan planned to vigorously promote the Immortal Crane Martial Arts School, recruit disciples, and transform it into a sacred martial arts haven matching the peak of the Immortal Crane School’s historical golden age.

The sect master of the Ten Directions Sect—his ancestral master—was highly wary of this matter, but due to certain reasons, he could not lead the team himself, so others had to substitute.

And the moment this defense appeared before them, the remaining twenty percent of the attack struck directly.

“He is our most promising candidate; we will make him the supreme leader of Green Garden and the spokesperson for our Justice Alliance,” Su Kexin signaled to Yin Shu, who ignored Tan Jue’s frantic struggles and injected the biochemical serum into Tan Jue’s body.

“An enemy too powerful to resist? Hah! Brother Tuoba, your imagination is wild—too bad you’re not a director!” Yuan Bing burst into loud, unreserved laughter, then immediately fell silent.

The next day, as soon as the Gathering Elixir Hall announced the postponement of the auction, it was besieged by crowds; numerous pharmacies and alchemical workshops, previously crushed nearly to closure by the Hall, seized the chance to slander and curse it viciously—the situation spiraled out of control, the deputy manager’s forehead dripped with sweat—where was the chief manager?
