Chapter 136: It Can Also Overturn the Vessel

The common people are like water; if the undercurrents are turbulent, how could a ship sailing upon them remain unharmed? Even if it escapes disaster for a moment, it is ultimately destined to capsize.

This thought stirred a tempest in the old emperor’s heart. It seemed like a simple statement, yet it contained the profound truths of the universe. If a ship wishes to remain safe, it cannot sail amidst the storms. At that moment, he recalled his own father’s final moments...

The God Emperor and the God Empress exchanged a glance. The less Zhao Qiqi said, the more they wanted to know, but no matter what, she refused to speak, leaving them no choice but to drop the matter.

"Are you saying its entire existence is meant to shock me?" Zhao Qiqi pouted, pointing at the purple-black egg.

If they wished to continue their association, they would have to treat her as Liang Jingru; otherwise, they could not even remain friends. She had her own judgment and her own way of doing things. It was not that she was stubborn or arrogant, but rather that this was a source of her self-confidence.

Watching Chunxi’s radiant smile, General Sun suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, an inexplicable surge of anger rising within him.

The father and son took the sheets of paper and returned from the secret passage. Upon returning, Father Chu went straight to the dining room, while Chu Fengyu went back to his room to store the patterned papers before heading downstairs to find Gu Ziyang.

"Let us all perish together. That way, no one will ever be able to replace the Emperor of Great Zhou and reach out to touch Penglai, bringing misfortune upon it."

"Did this person truly defeat a Profound-tier disciple at the Nascent Soul stage in only half a year?" Master Jingyu asked, her face full of doubt. She seemed unable to believe that the unimpressive youth before her could possess such ability.

"I only happened to know about this matter by chance. Now that you have finished watching the video, you should believe what I have said. Do you have nothing you wish to say?" Lu Yan said elegantly to the team leader, remaining slumped on the sofa, watching him with a lazy gaze.

At that moment, within the Heavenly Calculation Sect, the seer Tian Suanzi coughed up blood after uttering a few words, his "Divine Eyes Observing Heaven" technique failing him. It seemed that this divination had dealt a massive backlash to Tian Suanzi himself.

It was past six o'clock when I got off work. Seeing the elevator doors about to close, I hurriedly asked them to wait for me. There were quite a few people inside, all of them men dressed in identical black suits.

In the Leng family villa, Leng Xue sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at the wedding dress laid out before her. Her face was expressionless, her eyes vacant, with Leng Fu standing nearby.

She had originally intended to walk straight over and sit at the table, but after a moment’s thought, she felt it might be inappropriate and stopped.

At the critical moment, Gu Changyong sat as steady as a mountain, holding a wine cup with a calm expression as he slowly brought it to his lips. From behind the screens on both sides came the harsh sound of mechanical triggers. One hundred and twenty thunder-crossbow bolts tore through the silk curtains, sealing off the space three feet in front of Gu Changyong from all directions, leaving no path of escape.

"Hey, friend," Yang Jiekai said, gently poking the fat man’s back with his finger. Yang Jiekai was a full head shorter than the man, and their builds were not even in the same league; before this fat man, Yang Jiekai looked like a sapling compared to a hill.

"There is no need to say anything more. You are you, and I am I. There is no longer any friendship between us." She Lanhua did not even look at Beiming Ye; she turned and left the villa without looking back. Beiming Ye watched her go but said nothing, merely sitting down on the sofa in the living room.

When the first ray of light illuminated the earth, the slaughter finally came to an end. Bu Qianhuai sat atop the mountain peak, overlooking the scene below.

Guo Ziming looked at Bu Qianhuai in disbelief, yet he dared not deny it, for the person before him possessed the strength to kill him. Although his actions did not resemble those of a righteous practitioner, the number one on the Human Rankings surely would not lie to him.

"No rush, Ge'er. Let's fill our stomachs first." The Grand Preceptor handed her another rabbit leg.
