Chapter 128: Get Lost, Qingshan

Li Wanbai’s best solution now was to find Quan Hao—the only star in the crew who was not directly involved in this matter, someone popular, influential, and talented—to discuss how they should issue a statement going forward.

But waiting for someone else to save her was not in Li Wanbai’s nature.

She pushed open the director’s door.

Qiu Ying was exactly as Li Wanbai had imagined a director would be: serious about the work, meticulous in handling public opinion.

Of course, before bringing it back, he had already asked the jeweler to refinish the piece. Though the restoration had stripped the jewelry of its historical value, these items were stolen goods, and he certainly didn’t want to face off directly against the British government over a mere necklace.

As a top disciple of the Bone Refining Sect, what was their ultimate secret technique? Naturally, it was the zombies or bone demons they personally forged.

This showed Lin Tianqi’s magnanimity and extraordinary grace. After all, being stationed in the central camp was the easiest path to achievement. But knowing that Lin Feichen and his forces were stronger overall, Lin Tianqi graciously yielded the middle position—a rare concession considering the rivalry for the throne.

He still held firm to his views and was vocal in his criticism of the government’s policy of intertwining officialdom and commerce, allowing bureaucrats and merchants to collude openly.

To be honest, ever since Han Mo’s rise to fame and the popularity of his songs, many had performed his music on shows, in self-produced videos, or mimicry contests.

“This is not my usual level,” Shen Yan muttered, ashamed after two consecutive miscalculations.

Moreover, even if he himself could escape by some special secret technique, what about the rest of them?

Once fully merged, Murong Kunpeng began to condense the Immortal Rings—symbols of the Exiled Immortal Realm. Each ring represented a type of Tao Fruit, and there could be up to six, signifying: Great Courage, Great Wisdom, Great Strength, Great Perseverance, Great Fearlessness, and Great Enlightenment.

Suddenly, a young man blocked their path. Lu Jingqi and Li Xiaoling exchanged glances, both sensing confusion mirrored in each other’s eyes.

However, everyone knew how the war unfolded afterward. After Rommel returned to Germany, he was forced to commit suicide for participating in a conspiracy to overthrow Hitler. The executors handling the gold shipment disappeared at the same time, so for seventy years, this gold remained a legend.

“Clang!” The Flowing Cloud Immortal Sword clashed with Lightning Divination, instantly flying back as the blade trembled violently.

With a deafening crash, the taxi was struck with tremendous force, spinning two full circles on the road before coming to a forced halt.

Cheng Yu frowned and thought: Could he be having second thoughts? Regret won’t help—can you force the bank to transfer the money back from my account to yours?

Luo Min bit her finger, tilting her head thoughtfully, looking at Xu Renguang with a somewhat coquettish tone: “It’s just Country Base, I’ve never tried it before, I want to give it a shot. Is that okay?”

Meng Que felt wary and dared not counter with the Thousand Blade Finger. Instead, he activated the Void Spirit Step technique, dodging left and right to avoid the attack’s edge. Wherever the Buddha Palm Seal landed, the ground sank seven feet deep, a terrifying sight.

“Strange behavior?” Ning Xiang pondered carefully. But having barely spent any time with Duan Ke, she hadn’t noticed any change in his attitude, much less romantic feelings.

“Does it matter if they’re human or demon? Neither one can carry a whole head on just one or two shoulders, so the difference isn’t that great!” Mi Zhaoling shrugged.

Watching Su Mu’s calm and composed expression, Ma Tian’s eyes flickered. After a moment’s contemplation, he took a deep breath and, following Su Mu, began to center his breath and mind, collecting six communication jade slips beneath his feet, closing his eyes to meditate and circulate his energy.

Although Jin Yi knew of the Magpie Bridge Immortal from folklore, witnessing such a spectacle firsthand left him dumbfounded, mouth agape, utterly speechless.
