Volume One, Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Puppet Master

“What happened?”

As soon as Elder Jiang heard that Yue Shan was in trouble, he rushed out in a hurry.

“Captain Yue and his team were ambushed during their mission. The Guardians squad suffered heavy losses…”

Before the soldier could finish his words, Elder Jiang’s figure had already vanished. Montage followed closely behind, dashing out as well.

“Anub’arak!” At a time like this, Xue Huan could only pin his hopes on this monstrous bug.

“Hahaha, now that’s more like it.” The burly man with a face full of scars helped the innkeeper to his feet, laughing heartily as he patted him on the shoulder.

Li Zhimu’s expression changed. Many? Could it be that Donghua was making an all-out move, staking everything on this? But with so many men, how did they manage to infiltrate the main camp?

Though it usually didn’t seem to cause any trouble, this thing was like his right foot—it always delivered a blow at the most critical moment.

He recognized at least three buildings, each identical to those in Sir’s memories, standing in what had once been the capital of the Autobots—Iron Fortress.

The man holding the blade appeared to be a guard here, and he seemed to recognize Ina. Upon seeing the Saintess of Miao walk over, he hurriedly sheathed his weapon…but he still made no move to let her pass. In a place like this, one must always be sure of another’s identity.

Thick Leather Armor, a defensive item; equipping this armor grants one point of damage reduction. When suffering more than two points of damage, the equipment breaks after mitigating the damage.

With Sky Nemesis’s awakening, news that both Autobot leaders had gathered on Earth quickly spread among the Autobots on the distant satellites of Cybertron over the past few months.

“I still have some housework to do. Let’s go; everything’s settled anyway,” Li Hui added.

Thus, the annihilation of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect undoubtedly had a profound impact on the seven great cultivation clans.

“I’m a high school detective, invited by this officer to assist in the investigation.” Hearing Sakamoto Shu’s excuse, Conan couldn’t help but grimace.

“I am Qiao Zhe, a friend of Meng,” Qiao Zhe said directly, without wasting words.

Fuyou had some understanding of Zhang Cang and did not stand on ceremony, especially since he was a prince of Great Qin—some matters need not be overly formal.

Wasn’t today supposed to be a walk in the park—acquiring the secret of the jade pendant, becoming invincible, ruling the world, and becoming a true overlord?

At worst, offending the guild master meant taking a beating. But if you crossed him, not even the Emperor of Heaven could save you.

Moreover, if such substandard silver currency circulated into Liyang City, any investigation would inevitably lead back to the Liu’s Bank. Has no one reported this to the authorities?

It was precisely the “Ultimate Match” that made a purple-quality title as effective as a red-quality one.

However, at this moment, Li Que did not move. Instead, his gaze fell upon the Night Rakshasa.

The manager was momentarily stunned, about to explain that only seats in the main hall were left; if they didn’t accept soon, even the hall would be full.

In any case, after today, he would be leaving Tianhai City. By then, no matter how formidable Ye Tianyu was, it would have nothing to do with him.

Such a gap—he would never be able to catch up, would he? Hao Ren watched the competition, pondering.

“To make the three of us join forces—you may not be the first, but that’s no small feat. You have every reason to be proud!” The last knight of the Tianyou Clan said coldly.

Concentrated but undispersed, Cheng Dang finally withdrew the martial energy from his hand. The pill stopped its rolling and lay quietly in the vessel, releasing a faint fragrance, far less intense than before.

“All right, sir.” After much deliberation, Zhuzi agreed. His own life was worth far more than that so-called boss in front of him.
