153. Investigation (4K, 1/1)

Inside Zhou Chang's brow.

Pitch-black threads of thought wrapped around that wisp of red thread from the 'Plague God's Relic,' forming a cocoon of jet black.

The instant this cocoon formed, streams of sin energy surged across Zhou Chang's skin like flowing water, converging toward his brow and ceaselessly seeping into that jet-black cocoon—

At the top of the cocoon, a fine red filament swayed gently, like a sprout breaking through its shell.

The tip of that sprout was lit in an instant by the rolling sin energy.

That convenience store kept its doors tightly shut, as if it had no real intention of doing business.

"Alright, alright, I'll agree to it, okay? When have I ever refused you?" Yue Ming was now coaxing him like a child, and Wei Renwu had somehow turned into one too—though who knows who turned him into a child.

According to the pointers Yu Hai left when he departed, in at most half a month the war along the entire front would erupt, and Fortress Jia-Three was very likely to become a focal point of the barbarian assault.

Wait—Wei Renwu noticed that not everything in the room had been moved out; one thing remained, something rather inconspicuous.

"Yes." The Demon King answered and glanced at Yue Li, only to find her turning her head to one side, barely paying him any attention.

"So what now? Going home?" Yuan Jing didn't want to spend another cent on Wei Renwu.

"Think it through—right now, if I wanted your life, it would only take the blink of an eye." Ming Xiangyuan said with earnest persuasion. Whether she meant it or not, Li Luo Xuan would never surrender.

Sure enough, the moment Ma Han finished speaking, a gleam flashed in the man's eyes, but clearly he wouldn't believe it so easily, so he said nothing.

When they reached the Zhou family gate, Xiao Gang was waiting for them; Zhui Feng held the two children with easy ease.

At this moment, those who could even speak with He Bazhi were all wealthy and powerful bosses; ordinary companies simply didn't qualify, and there were even fringe figures who didn't know He Bazhi at all.

The farewell at the long pavilion needs no detailed telling; the sorrow of parting gradually faded as the sun slanted and the caravan grew distant.

Du Zhenxi's star-bright eyes suddenly went wide; her muddled mind was struck by three consecutive bolts of thunder, shattering her chaotic, scattered dream fragments with a crackling crash, fusing them into one bizarre image.

Although Baizhu wasn't a local of Nandu either, since Shen Yanbing had issued the invitation, Baizhu naturally wouldn't be so boorish as to refuse.

She had hated for over a dozen years, only to have hated the wrong person—and the one she should have hated was her own eldest brother, the closest of kin in her maiden family. How could she bear such a truth?

"I know you wouldn't sell a treasure like this, so let's talk properly about the cooperation we discussed before." Qin Shuangling said with some urgency.

After they left, she finally got up, seething inside, thinking the same thing: fortunately she hadn't mentioned this to anyone.

"She has cast you into a place of injustice, yet you still speak up for her like this?" Ji Gongsheng asked.

"We don't know yet. Uncle Zheng sent me to call Master Shi back to the Zheng residence to take charge!" the attendant said.

I walked along lost in random thoughts, but when I reached what I thought was a suitable spot and looked back, I couldn't recall what I'd been thinking about the whole way. The only thing I remembered was that strange, chilling image that had drenched me in cold sweat.

"This is the place Qi Hui and Xiangxiang care about most, and the people they care about most too." Shen Yan took a step forward, saw the bruise on Xi Niang's drooping arm, and couldn't help but knit her brow.

For now, however, Xia Mo still planned to try it normally, then decide—after all, there was still time. Whether that counted as cheating was something only each could judge for themselves.

"If it's really the Drought Demon from Black Sea Hell City, then things are serious." Long Tengyi said worriedly. The Drought Demon was connected to the Soul-Devouring thing inside Jue'er—no wonder Jue'er had behaved so strangely today.
