Volume 1, Chapter 148: Profound

Outside the headquarters of the Fu Group, during the peak evening rush hour, the crowd flowed endlessly like a weaving shuttle.

Fu Yuting and Fu Siyuan stepped out of the elevator side by side, discussing which newly opened restaurant to visit for dinner to celebrate casting away some ominous nuisances.

As the two reached the main entrance of the building, they immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.

Many off-duty employees were not hurrying away; instead, they gathered in small groups of twos and threes, casting excited glances not far away and whispering among themselves, their faces beaming with the distinct curiosity and thrill of onlookers.

Fu Siyuan followed the crowd's gaze and saw a low-key yet luxurious black Maybach parked quietly in front of the entrance. Standing beside the car was a tall, slender, and cold figure, un......

However, how could life ever be that peaceful? If today was peaceful, there were still hardships and specters waiting for Yan Xiangxiang in the distance. Coupled with the fact that Xu Shujuan's affair had been causing a massive uproar online over the past few days, Yan Xiangyang's friends, though all detained, were ultimately people of power and influence; thus, the matter dragged on without any definitive conclusion.

High-grade medicinal pills could naturally not be displayed directly and were kept inside jade bottles. Yet, upon entering the room, wisps of lingering pill fragrance wafted over, making one feel refreshed and invigorated merely by inhaling them.

With no other choice, he and his dao companion crossed the northern border and arrived at the Far Northern Realm. Perhaps driven by destiny, they happened to save a cultivator who had encountered a life-or-death crisis while out on a trial—that very cultivator turned out to be the Demon Prince of the time, and the current Demon Lord, Murong Qi.

At this moment, the nascent soul was also flushed red, its true essence—just like Lin Tianxu's physical body—desperately and recklessly squeezing into the gradually solidifying form despite the danger. The white radiance also channeled the milky-white protective sword intent directly into the nascent soul.

"Miss Xuexian is a reasonable person who sees the bigger picture. Am I right in saying so?" Hearing this, Long Shaofeng smiled awkwardly before speaking up immediately.

The three immediately departed and dashed deep into the depths. A quarter of an hour later, Shaolong, who had been fiercely pursuing Xu Qingyun, finally returned to the Undying Spring. Seeing that a quarter of the lake water was missing, it let out a roar that shook the heavens, echoing far into the distance. Not far away, several people heard the sound and immediately sprinted toward the location.

During the process of reshaping Old Man Sun's demonic memories and consciousness, Mulai continuously used his cultivation technique to control the two members of the Wang family. Since it was already daylight, quite a few people had passed by during this period; however, because the group merely appeared to be exchanging casual greetings by the roadside with nothing unusual, they failed to attract anyone's attention.

Just as Mi Jing was about to begin, the Heaven-Splitting Axe emitted a wave of impact, making the two tense up instantly. It was unmistakably the impact of the giant serpent.

When he did those things, when he walked alone toward his own death, the pain in his heart was far greater than being torn to a thousand pieces.

Xuanyuan Ruoli only then remembered that she had been so focused on immediately taking Ye Weiyang out to play that she had completely overlooked this matter. Qingqing would never have called her over for no reason if everything were fine.

Fighting up to this point, Yimeng could already see that Yu Huan and Xuanyuan Wuji had both cultivated to around the eighth rank of the Emperor Realm, and coupled with the protection of the Purgatory Pagoda, if they abandoned her group, there was still hope for them to escape.

For reasons unknown, the ancient blood demon curse had completely erupted, so much so that even the dragon vein could not suppress its violent surge. Rolling blood demon might, accompanied by intense negative malice, transformed into countless evil spirits that wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves, crisscrossing and roaring in a myriad of ferocious manifestations.

The divers and wandering souls scouring for gear and guarding corpses on the snowy mountain felt their hair stand on end, and their cheerful cries and laughter ceased instantly.

At this time, Ji Feng had long lost her initial radiance; her attire was tattered and covered in stains, her hair was as messy as a bundle of straw, her face was pitch black, and it was still smeared with snot and tears.

Li Kun muttered inwardly: My head has always been sharp; it's just that you never asked for my opinion before.

The deeply grounded remarks of this post-90s astronaut quickly won the affection of all young people watching the live broadcast. For a time, her boyfriend became the most envied man in the entire world.

"Exactly! Those vulgar upstarts, bumpkins exuding the stench of cow dung—for the fruits of our hard research to fall into their hands is simply a desecration of the arcane!" Master Alston also expressed strong agreement.

Without exception, Han Lei did not receive even a glance from her. Without lifting her head, she gathered the money in her violin case, still bothering not to check how much there was, shouldered her case, and turned to leave.

"Shiying?" Leng Mufan called out a few more times as if uneasy, and only after confirming that Mu Shiying was truly asleep did he slowly withdraw his arm from beneath her neck, then light-footedly climbed out of bed to put on his clothes.

Thirdly, since Xu Feng had saved President Ma, he was President Ma's savior. By then, Xu Feng's status would be extraordinary once more.

This was stolen property, after all. If the Roon royal family discovered that he was using the Crown of Thorns, wouldn't that be equivalent to telling them that he had participated in the operation to prevent George III from ascending to godhood?

The branch academy established here by the Fuyin Academy had become a vital pathway for countless people in the Burial Heaven Kingdom who yearned for cultivation to embark upon the path of martial arts.

She hadn't said anything, nor had she done anything. Was it also wrong for her to quietly listen to them speak? This truly embodied the definition of an unprovoked disaster to perfection.

"Zhou Zheng?" Shi Meng was slightly startled. This name could hardly be said to suit the young man's appearance; rather, it had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Chunliu was always smiling, and her speech was gentle as well, as if she would never get angry at anyone and had never been angry in her life.

A transparent panel appeared in front of Dandan. After tapping on it, she entered the Level 2 Mall. Once inside, Dandan discovered that the items in the Level 2 Mall were far more numerous than those in the Level 1 Mall, and everything from the Level 1 Mall was sold at half price in the Level 2 Mall.

Therefore, beauty is justice. When Gu Jingchen later learned that Qi had saved him merely because he thought his walking posture was pleasing to the eye, he almost ground his teeth to dust.

As the spear shaft collided with the sword radiance, a terrifying force poured outward. The sword radiance, combined with the violent wind-spirit radiance, instantly shredded the surrounding ground, vegetation, and rocks into fine powder.

"You managed to come out for once, and I feel like you're very happy. So I'll try my best to fulfill your wishes. After all, opportunities to go out and play like this are very rare," Wei Chenxi said, looking at Dandan.

Xiang Zhang smiled coldly, flicked the switch on his wheelchair, and went straight out the box door. Before the others could recover their senses, a certain bureau director's face turned green. No one had ever disrespected him so blatantly before. Good! Very good! Xiang Zhang, I will make you realize how foolish your actions are.

"Indeed! The Profound Emperor is not the peak of this world after all!" Ling Fengyue felt her chest tremble slightly as she spoke.

Jun Mo expressed understanding. In fact, he too sensed that the aura emanating from the Wei family members was somewhat abnormal.

"How outrageous!" Shi Zhener strode over, raised her hand, and swung a punch straight down at Shi Meng's head.
