Chapter Thirty-Four: The Frame-up

Upon returning to the Jia residence, Qin Mingyue had no time to rest before Grandmother Jia sent someone to summon her. No sooner had Qin Mingyue arrived and performed a curtsy than the matron beside the old matriarch reached out and ripped the gauze from her neck.

"Hiss!" Qin Mingyue feigned pain and shoved the woman away. The matron tumbled to the floor, landing hard enough that she could not get back up for a moment.

"Zhao! How dare you show such disrespect to the Old Madam!"

"I... I thought it was—"

"Men die for wealth, and birds die for food. That Li Dongliu actually possessed a Seventh-Grade Mirror-Breaking Pill; naturally, he became a target for many," Xiao Zhan said calmly.

As an elder of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, Huang Xiaotian’s strength was formidable. His voice, propelled by soul energy, carried far, echoing through the valley for a full ten seconds before fading away. Seeing this display of power, many disciples immediately looked at him with expressions of admiration.

Once Ye Ji raised the mirror, the corridor was reflected within it. The hallway was empty, but the light inside the mirror was too dim for him to see clearly.

"It will reopen tomorrow. If you don't want to see it, I can make it disappear," Ye Li boasted, hands on his hips.

Upon learning that Meng Tianzheng’s body had been parasitized by a clone of the Nether Demon, Lu Tianming’s face turned livid with shock and anger. He had previously assumed his master, Meng Tianzheng, was merely suffering from an invasion of resentment, but it now seemed the situation was far more grave than he had imagined.

The power of two True Essence Realm masters at the peak of perfection was terrifying; the sheer pressure of their aura shattered many of the nearby tables and chairs.

At this moment, Lu Tianming only had two Fifth-Grade pills and four Sixth-Grade pills left. If he were to enter the Wolong Secret Realm, such supplies would be far from enough.

More than twenty experts at the Great Perfection of the True Essence Realm were sent flying by that single strike, blood spraying from their mouths as the entire palace hall was splattered with gore.

September in Yuecheng remained sweltering. Xiong Baizhou, dressed in a suit and tie, had a fine sheen of sweat on his face. He watched Li Donglai, who was currently leading TCL in a challenge against Changhong for dominance in the domestic color television industry. Disregarding his image, Li opened his shirt collar to fan himself.

A shocking event occurred: the water level in the stone pool surged violently, then rapidly receded, finally leaving behind only a natural stone pit—a transformation of the extreme.

In truth, if Haitang had been the slightest bit rational, she would have seen through her opponent’s flaws. But she had lost her composure; anything concerning Fubao caused her intelligence to plummet.

"Since we know that Huangfu Song will send men to raid the camp tonight, you all need only prepare to lure them into the trap."

"What did you say? You want to divorce Xiao Linchen?" Shen Wei’s shocked shout reached Shen Yanyue’s ears.

At that moment, the fighter jet fired several missiles that struck the tentacles. The space destabilized, allowing a trace of crimson particles to escape, but the vast majority were re-contained before they could leak out.

In the past, Darius had to rely on basic attacks and skills to stack bleeding, earning him the reputation of a champion who waited for his "daddy" in lane and merely strolled through team fights.

An old man with a bald head sat on the sofa, while Wang Xiaoyan, dressed in very revealing clothing, sat on his lap.

"What an unreasonable person," Serena said, still indignant, wondering if the other party had ever received a proper upbringing.

Zhou Yun’er was the first to speak. She could no longer bear the protests of her stomach and had to prioritize food above all else.

"Nibi represents gray, the color of stone. This city has been famous for producing stone since ancient times," a deep, resonant voice came from below as they rested on a boulder.

Yue Jian felt flattered. Why would a leader use the phrase "see me"? Shouldn't it be "inspecting work" or "listening to a report"?

"Really? Zhihong, will you really wait for me?" At this moment, a ray of sunshine seemed to pierce the clouds in Yun Xin’s heart.

Never one to abuse her own body, An Rucho knew that going head-to-head with him was pointless, so she began to eat her meal in sullen silence.

"It looks like you have to leave the Abyss first. Those on the other side are coming for me," Zhou said, turning back to Ai.

Taotao did not need the Cloud Index; she had her own independent space, the Ruyi Heavenly Mansion. Just as the outer-circle elites of the Taibai family were falling into despair, Taotao opened her mansion to them, while wave after wave of ten thousand swords held back the living corpses.

Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then snapped back to reality. She scrambled up from the ground and ran up the nearby stairs; even if a van tried to hit her, it couldn't follow.

Although he said that, An Rucho understood in her heart that he was only being so kind to Momo because of her.

"I have only just emerged from my larval stage and cannot yet fully adapt to this surging influence. And you are not a powerful kin; it is difficult for you to fully resist this pressure."

Wu Wangshe had forgotten to be terrified; his mind was a complete blank. But then, that finger suddenly stopped—right between his eyebrows—and withdrew. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the immortal energy surging within him due to his fear fell into chaos, causing him to pant rapidly.

The restrictions had all vanished, so it took Wu Lei and his companions only about ten breaths of time to collect all the treasures.

Wu Lei observed that every mandala flower was condensed from extremely powerful laws. As they danced, they formed a talisman array, flickering with a mysterious and elusive aura.

Xuanyuan cultivated virtue and strengthened his army, managed the five elements, cultivated the five crops, comforted the myriad people, and measured the four directions. He trained bears, leopards, and tigers to fight against the Flame Emperor on the plains of Banquan; after three battles, he finally achieved his will.
