Volume 1, Chapter 67: The "Top-Tier Detective" Strikes with Full Force

Faced with Chu Xian's cold sarcasm, Fu Jinnian remained unfazed, his tone gentle: "I can understand that the Third Young Master has some misunderstandings about me, but every word I say is the truth. Xie Zhigang is indeed investigating A-Mian. As for what he intends to do, the Third Young Master still needs to pay closer attention."

Chu Xian stared fixedly at Fu Jinnian, attempting to detect any flaws in his expression.

However, Fu Jinnian's expression remained open and his gaze clear.

There was not the slightest sign of falsehood to be seen.

All the facilities within the base had been gradually completed, and the construction of the "Hero Tree" had also been scheduled. From the back mountain, the sounds of people shouting as they worked diligently could be heard all over the base.

After twenty consecutive rounds without a victor, Liu Ruying was seen wielding her Chengving sword with an upward and downward flurry, unleashing the fifty-one forms of the Bodhidharma Sword created by Patriarch Bodhidharma! This precious sword swept and lunged with majestic momentum, every single stance clearly visible to the onlookers. For a moment, sword shadows intertwined, pouring down upon Sheng Xun like a wall of steel.

Everyone heard a crisp crack, followed by an invisible sonic wave rippling outward, startling and soul-stirring. Even the surrounding trees, as thick as a person's arm, proved unable to withstand the force and shattered, crashing to the ground one after another.

Therefore, during her final days, she chose to move out of the Su family residence, taking her son to the villa that Su Che had given her, and there she brought her life to an end.

Thus, no one was foolish enough to court death with sheer courage. This suited Ruo Yi's standards perfectly; she was here to play, not to have people make trouble for her.

Although it was set to novice difficulty, this mission could theoretically be upgraded to nightmare difficulty by the Dream at any moment—though that was merely standard operating procedure for the Dream.

"Wuwuwu, Yu Fei, tell me why Mother would do such a thing? Why did she have that kind of affair with him? Why?" Zheng Xinhan cried out in anguish.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xue Feng had someone deliver a boxed meal to each person. Taking advantage of the time everyone was eating, and under the cover of Yu Mengyan, Yi Meng Qianxun, and Xue Xiyuan, Yan Gexiao and Ye Tong placed the Yuheng Starlight onto Li Xueqi.

She was observing his reaction, remaining constantly on guard against any misinterpretation on his part that might trigger another scene she could never have anticipated.

Regarding the detailed contents of the plan, much like the previous secret facility, it was not mentioned in detail within the articles of conviction, but the specific measures were explicitly clear.

In this day and age, human relationships are simply this pragmatic, and this kind of pragmatism is an existence you have no choice but to accept and adapt to.

Upon entering the Master of the Workshop's residence, the tense atmosphere inside became even more palpable. The Guo family's personal guards were busy distributing spiritual artifacts, talisman papers, and spiritual pills, making full preparations for battle. Across the entire market town, apart from Li Tian and Sonny's subordinates, only these four hundred guards in the Master's residence had remained entirely unengaged in the great battle until now.

Sidney's eyes held a trace of disappointment, while Joham wore a look of delight. Then, at Lin An's signal, he recounted what had happened during the days she was unconscious.

Outside the spirit beast enclosure, a few cultivators from the "Heavenly Evolution Sect" stood guard, but this thin line of defense was instantly shattered by the warriors of the "Xuannan Sect," who charged into the enclosure and began their assault on the spirit beasts.

However, mutant beasts surrounded her on all sides. Just as she was thinking of entering her spatial dimension to evade them, her foot suddenly stepped into empty air, bringing a sensation of weightlessness, and her ankle felt as if it had been grabbed by a hand that forcefully dragged her downward.

At this moment, following Luo Kaixian's willful and unbridled inquiry, both men surnamed Li fell into a daze.

Liwei greeted them one by one, and was introduced to the man sitting in the corner named Lee Soo-geun, a former comedian and a good friend of Kang Ho-dong.

The Pope waved his hand, and the leader of the cardinal bishops bowed respectfully, retreating backward out of the inner hall.

The entire manor was enclosed by an invisible membrane. She could see the scenery and objects outside, yet she could not walk out of the manor. From that arrogant child's voice, she learned that it was because her cultivation level was insufficient that she could not leave; once her cultivation reached the required realm, the seals around the manor would naturally dissolve.
