37 Entering the City

"Moral restraint device? What the hell is that?" Tang Jin shook his head vigorously to clear his mind.

It was also because of the "Go Prohibition Order" issued nine years ago that the Ruosu Go Equipment Store was forced to close its doors.

The baron, having regained his strength, returned to his original size. He had been unable to break free from Hashirama’s restraints earlier, but with his power restored, destroying these tree trunks was now effortless.

After flipping through a dozen pages, Lear was already drenched in sweat, his heart pounding violently. He wanted to keep reading, but he feared Jamie might have more "surprises" in store that his heart couldn't handle, leaving him hesitant. Finally, gritting his teeth, he turned to the next page.

Although paying for favorable reviews was not uncommon in the industry and was often criticized by players, this time, none of the major gaming media outlets had received a single cent from Terracotta Army Entertainment.

Tall, charred palace pillars, fallen vermilion gates, eaves and painted walls draped in dense spiderwebs, along with scattered skeletons and abandoned weapons and armor—everything before his eyes seemed to tell the story of a brutal war from the distant past.

A moment later, the entire Flowing Light Heaven was filled with powers capable of easily destroying the world. Fear and panic gripped everyone, and the strongest defenses they had erected were already teetering under the impact.

Looking around, the demon-man who had been visible just a moment ago had vanished, leaving only pitch-black darkness everywhere.

Gongsun Yu’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, the girl had already hung up the phone.

"There is no strategist in this world more neglectful of his duties than you," Lear said with a huff, waving his hand. "I have class this afternoon, I’m off." With that, he bade farewell to Simon and ducked into the car.

However, as if remembering something, He Pingting took a deep breath, her gaze darkening.

Zhang Qingfang had grown over the years; although she suffered immensely, she did not complain. She had chosen to come, so she had to endure the hardships of the journey. At the very least, she had Miao Ran and Lu Hong to turn to. Once they arrived at their destination, she sat on the ground, ignoring the scenery, and grinned foolishly at Miao Ran and Lu Hong.

Before they could leave, a ghost courier in white robes approached the mailbox, his long arms reaching directly inside to retrieve the package Bai Zhi had just deposited.

He Baoguo, on the other hand, sighed with regret for a long time. He had volunteered to lead a team to follow, but his request was rejected by his superiors. For that reason, he continued to monitor the situation for over a year, never imagining that the entire group would vanish without a trace after entering. Eventually, caught up in his busy life, he forgot about it.

Originally, Zhang Wenzhong thought the matter was over, but news arrived from Suzhou that someone from the Shen family was still alive. This news felt like a sharp blade piercing his heart, leaving him unable to sleep at night.

But to Helian Huaxuan’s surprise, the king she had once held in such high, untouchable esteem disappointed her deeply.

As soon as Zhou Tiantian entered, she monopolized the television. Chu Yan could only huddle in the corner of the sofa to play on his phone, forced to wrap himself in a blanket to keep from freezing.

In the end, it was his own fault for not winning her heart with the best and most effective means when he had the chance, which was what gave this man before them the opportunity.

Yang Xiyu’s doubts remained, but no matter how much she bargained with Shi Ying, the latter wouldn't budge, acting as if she didn't care whether he helped or not.

Of course, there were those who acted stubbornly, like Gu Luan trying to rescue Gu Wei, but in most matters, it was always like this.

It was an oval-shaped face with extremely delicate features, bright and spirited eyes, and a faint smile at the corners of her lips, giving off an impression of elegance, nobility, and a holy, innocent purity.

"Xingxue, there will be no surprises. The person in your Heart Palace is going to lose; after all, Yuchen comes from the Saint Valvular Clan," Xue Yijian said with a sigh.

After speaking, the black orb flashed again. Suddenly, a black dragon dozens of feet long lunged out, baring its fangs and claws, carrying an aura that threatened to swallow the world as it whistled toward Xia Liu.

Compared to the Blood Coagulation and Essence Transformation Technique, there was simply no comparison, let alone the supreme scripture known as the Heavenly Evil Canon.

His left hand reached forward only another three inches, and the second layer of defense Zhong Kui had set up using the "Soul-Devouring Art" shattered as the power of the Five Elements was annihilated.

The Ren Vessel begins below the Zhongji point, ascends along the hairline, follows the abdomen, passes the Yuanguan point, and reaches the throat. It belongs to the Sea of Yin Vessels, runs along the midline, and consists of twenty-four acupoints in total.

Against the backdrop of large-scale construction, Xia Tian tentatively scheduled the migration plan for 20 years later. Because of an interstellar war occurring in ten years, he could not escape, and with ten years of construction, he still would not have sufficient resources.

"Third Brother, are we not friends?" La Shen had always believed the fault did not lie with him, forgetting the responsibilities expected of a subordinate.

"Actually, you're so smart that you can succeed in any profession. As the saying goes, 'Every trade has its master.' You don't have to hang yourself from just one tree!" Tang Guo racked her brains for a long time, and these were the only words of comfort she could muster.

Chen Zhen quickly arrived at the branch bureau to report the situation to the branch chief. The chief felt the matter was absurd, but after some thought, he called the municipal bureau chief to explain, as this involved a section chief in the city, and he didn't want to be caught in the middle.

Seeing the door suddenly pushed open, the beauty in Zhang Xiao’s arms jumped up, startling even Zhang Xiao himself.

Zhang Xiaoting shouted into the darkness, "Old Senior, Old Senior." Aside from the echo of his own voice, there was only silence.

Kan Suyuan said angrily, "I don't care. Now that we know Chenxi's whereabouts, I must go save her." With that, she shoved Wu Chengfeng aside.

Their gazes were grim and murderous, all focused on Jiu Ge, who stood in the middle, their eyes shimmering with a devouring light.

Wu Linyun nodded at Mu Han and Yao Zhen. Since Selena had made her position clear, the subsequent mission should be much easier. Yao Zhen walked over to Nair, helped her up, and then followed Selena toward Asland’s lair.
