Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen: The Trap

Song Hui had a flash of inspiration and hit upon a brilliant plan: act first and report later.

She composed herself and dialed Uncle Liu’s number.

"Uncle Liu, are you able to come to Blue Maple Apartments to pick me up and take me to Shengkang Real Estate right now?" Song Hui asked tentatively. She was worried that Fu Chen might need the car, and if so, she would have to hail a taxi—but hailing a taxi hardly carried the air of a wealthy socialite.

"Ah... Young Madam, well... oh, alright, I’m on my way to pick you up now."

Uncle Liu’s reply was incoherent and stuttered.

Song Hui frowned, sensing something was wrong. "Uncle Liu, are you alright? If it’s inconvenient, never mind."

Uncle Liu had his phone on speaker. He looked at Fu Chen in the backseat...

If life were a carriage, luck would be the road; if life were a ship, luck would be the waterway. According to the I Ching and the principles of destiny: one's acquired fate varies.

"Lu Chengfeng, let me tell you, it’s absolutely impossible. In my eyes, you’re not even worth a toad," Lin Jiaojiao cursed in a rage.

"Shut up!" Tang Yun barked fiercely. Sure enough, Wangcai whimpered twice and laid back down to sleep.

Although the combat power system had taken away most of the treasures in the ruins, the remaining wealth was still staggering. There were several trillion high-grade spirit stones alone, and besides the Heaven-Burning Ruler, there were nine other immortal artifacts.

Otherwise, if he helped them obtain the Blood Soul Seed and it led to some tragedy, Luo Yang would not be able to rest easy.

After a dozen bouts of combat, Jin Xi was defeated and fled, his troops retreating into the mountains with Xiang Sheng in hot pursuit. They hadn’t traveled more than a few miles when shouting erupted. The Qi general Yong Chi led a troop out and pointed at Xiang Sheng, saying, "You have fallen into a trap; why not surrender early?" Xiang Sheng did not reply, merely spurring his horse forward to fight. After a few brief clashes, Yong Chi was defeated, and Xiang Sheng gave chase.

This method was, all things considered, quite decent. After all, Senior Fu Gui needed to maintain this entrance and couldn't help, and I couldn't let anyone else out, as that would only waste more time.

"Those two are absolute animals! They only gave them the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn!" Hu Xie was also shocked.

The Eukaryota domain, however, is complex! We all belong to it. The Eukaryota domain is divided into: the Animal Kingdom, the Plant Kingdom, the Fungal Kingdom, and the Protist Kingdom. Among these, the first three are currently active organisms, while the Protist Kingdom consists of extinct ancient life forms.

At this moment, Gu Yun gently swayed her waist, and Luo Yang pecked her red lips again, making her face blush even deeper.

Especially seeing people like Qin Xuanzhen, who were unremarkable "Starlight Generals," he hadn't taken them seriously at all. If they could come with that level of strength, perhaps they might achieve a decent ranking in the next tournament, but for now, it was better to just have them defeated.

General Karls was not speaking, nor was he shouting; he was roaring. The objects of his venting were those two Asian youths in military uniforms.

On the lowest level of the battlefield, Qin Jiuyou was relentlessly reaping the lives of monarchs, each one a high-level monarch or above.

Tang Sanzang and his party had eaten all the Ginseng Fruit, yet they didn't flee. Instead, they came out swaggering and asked if dinner was served.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Zhenxia’s curiosity grew, and he hurriedly stepped forward. Upon catching a glimpse of what was inside the safe, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Ye Feng refused to go in, simply sitting on the ground and acting shamelessly. Finally, under Zhang Xiang’s threats and brute force, he was dragged inside.

He truly could not suppress the astonishment in his heart, for from the look of the Azure Dragon, it was clear that he not only knew Ruan Xiuzhen, but must have been deeply entangled with her in love. Otherwise, why would he display such a painful expression while muttering to himself?

"I’d like to hear your take. What do you think their cooperation signifies?" Master Murong asked in return.

"You have urgent business? Speak it right here!" Yi Chufeng knew there was an array at the mountain gate; it was impossible for these two to break through by force.

The guard at the gate had been changed. It was no longer old Hori, who had taken a kick from Wang Ping and acted as if nothing had happened, but a much younger white man.

When one is pushed to the edge of despair, one must burn the bridges behind them and, with the momentum of an unstoppable force, find life in the face of death.
