Volume One, Chapter 73: I Am Not Here to Keep a Low Profile—Kill!

Yongxing City, the southern frontier.

Qin Bao brought Wei Zhongqing along the road, quietly arriving at the borders of Yongxing City.

In the span of a single day, they passed through several ancient cities, finally reaching the outskirts of the imperial capital of the Ancient Yan Empire.

Roasting meat may seem simple, but in truth it demands skill. Take Xia Ruge, for example; she used to joke that she was the queen of burning things, that even when grilling meat, she could turn it into charcoal. So, when Li Mengran proved herself adept at roasting meat, Xia Ruge was genuinely surprised.

At this moment, Qin Zitong’s expression was especially grim. Of all days, why did she have to run into that scoundrel Chu Qingming today? Yet now the arrow was drawn, ready for release—there was no turning back. Otherwise, wouldn’t those one thousand superior immortal stones have been handed over in vain?

“Mm, get out. Otherwise, later I might get scared, and you could get hurt,” Chen Yang said earnestly.

Today, Lin Ke’er wore a knitted sweater, the fabric thick but so soft that it made him feel a little uneasy. He was about to withdraw his hand.

Those alluring, sparkling eyes were full of laughter, sizing up Ye Qiu from head to toe, making clicking sounds as she looked, leaving Ye Qiu feeling thoroughly uncomfortable.

If production capacity expanded tenfold, the number of workers would also increase tenfold—from the current thirty to three hundred. For Laura, the company president, the larger the scale, the better; it meant greater profits for the company.

Li Pei’s eyes shifted; he glanced at the other two. Before he could speak, they each sheathed their weapons and withdrew from the field.

Though it was a bit exasperating, it was still better than doing nothing. Preparing in advance could at least minimize losses.

Producing trucks is not the same as producing cars. Trucks are larger, so their parts are bigger. While assembly requires a high degree of precision, it is comparatively easier for the workers to handle.

A few people pitched tents at the edge of town. Chen Qingsheng followed again, buzzing around Xu Jingqi like a persistent fly. This time, Qi Yu was truly angry and stepped in to block Chen Qingsheng.

Huang Lie knew he was the weakest among the group, but at this moment, he had to do something to help his side turn the tide of battle.

Yulanqing, seeing Qin Haotian’s resolute suggestion, was deeply moved and did not oppose his decision.

As she danced, Feiya faintly heard someone snickering. At first, she thought it was an illusion and paid it no mind, but the laughter grew clearer. Feiya instinctively turned her head.

But natural Windstride Stones do not exist. What people call Windstride Stones are actually special stones called Thought Stones, upon which master rune casters inscribe miniature wind-driving arrays, transforming them into accelerators for their users.

Yet, a highly respected Execution Commander within the Divine Court of Weiyang Nation, while pursuing the remnants of the apostates, discovered that Decheng was indeed an ideal hiding place for them. He quietly slipped into this chaotic city.

He hurried to find his third uncle, told him everything. Upon hearing that his father was looking for him, he quickly arranged matters with his subordinates. After learning the situation from Yue Haili, he returned to the square, knocked on the loudspeaker, and began to speak.

Upon hearing Wu Rong’s words, the retired military dog immediately stopped, obediently squatted, and looked up at her with docile eyes.

Like a wild storm carrying the ferocity of a hungry tiger descending from the mountains to seize its prey, a leg swept out, its wind howling, thunder rolling, striking Hao Zhenlei’s abdomen as if an iron pillar had crashed into him.
