Chapter 22: This Is China, Why Fear Them Any Longer?

Zhao Chen was well aware of his own capabilities and his value within the jade gambling circle. He knew that Wen Min would never let the matter rest, and he would have to be extremely cautious from now on. However, what Zhao Chen did not know was that after receiving the call from those two Burmese men, Wen Min had already arrived in China herself.

At a cutting shop near the port, Wen Min, dressed in a black tube top and white wide-leg trousers, looking like a fashionable lady, asked with a gentle expression, "Are you certain it is that person? Could you have mistaken him for someone else?" As she spoke, she held out her phone, the screen displaying a photo of Zhao Chen from his time as a 'Yemuxi'. The two Burmese men scrutinized the image carefully before patting their chests and swearing it was indeed Zhao Chen. "It's him..."

Li Tianhao felt rather frustrated. He had left in a hurry this time, carrying neither money nor a phone. His only possession was a small red booklet, but there was no need for him to show such a thing to the gatekeeper.

Cang Mang was busy placing the alchemy furnace and other items he had brought from Xianya Residence into the alchemy room and the weapon-refining room.

The infected creature's primary target shifted back to Nuoyan, allowing the eldest brother to return to controlling the field without distraction; he was set to become the king of crowd control.

Ji Jiu’s expression stiffened upon hearing a rumbling sound. "Staying up late again?" Ji Jiu had no requirements for Su Baiyu’s profession, but she was deeply dissatisfied with the excessive amount of time he spent in front of the computer and his habit of staying up late.

Black Tiger's eyes were also filled with murderous intent as he said, "You're right; these people truly deserve to die. I have already investigated their backgrounds thoroughly. The five families are the Feng, Yan, Chen, Liu, and Lin families. The captain's parents are our parents; the debt of killing one's father is irreconcilable."

Zhao Xu's agent had originally been furious, but after Zhao Xu gave him a song and claimed he had written both the music and lyrics himself, the agent was genuinely astonished. When he finished reading the entire composition, he was even more pleasantly surprised.

A more scientific explanation is that everyone dreams every night. Many dreams might be identical, but we simply cannot recall them upon waking, and they might cycle repeatedly when triggered.

Big Sister Gao could not stand it anymore; she scolded Niu Xiulan and then took Ming Yue to the outer room to feed her.

Yan Lingji glanced at Ying Zheng, then nodded. Without saying a word, she lowered her head and continued drinking her soup.

The other was a remnant of the rebel forces from the great chaos over a decade ago. Although the Nian Gan Office had been hunting them for more than ten years, the ringleaders had never been caught.

He did not deliberately hide his figure, intending only to break free from the main road to momentarily evade the sharp edge of the two hundred heavy cavalrymen charging in formation.

Feeling the negligible aura emanating from the two, Fubo nodded and spoke. "I know everything about you, including your deepest secrets," the young master said to Ye Wushang, ignoring his question.

Luo Feng was an observant man. He could tell that the Prince and Princess shared a deep affection, and that Ling Ye likely valued the Princess’s words even more than his own.

This was the Freshman Grand Competition, not a sightseeing tour. No one wanted to waste time; everyone wanted to kill others to gain points. Therefore, if they didn't see anyone at their landing site, they would eventually take the initiative to go searching.

Faced with three people who had easily completed the basic training of Nen, Wing had to sigh at the vast gap between people in this world.

A moment ago, he had been thinking about scaring his opponent out of cover to play with him a bit more; Sun Yaosheng had even been contemplating finding an opportunity to teach him a lesson with a frying pan.

The scarred man's corpse lay stiffly on the ring, while the culprit behind his death had already sauntered back to his own side.

Inside the poison circle, Sun Yaosheng took a painkiller and an energy drink to fill his energy bar before continuing to run toward the safety zone.

After his joy, Lei Pojun immediately issued an order. He sneered internally, thinking, don't think I don't know the tricks behind this. Since you want to use the Lei family, you must be prepared to lose more than you gain.

"Can you feel the power within?" Zi Xin asked with a smile, pointing his left hand at the Jumang essence blood.

Lin Xiao watched him for a long time and discovered that every time he swung his sword, it carried a trace of sharp energy; this was the embryonic form of Sword Intent.

Qin Mojun’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his worldview suffering a critical hit. "Are you sure you aren't joking? We both used ultimate moves; you took me out in one hit, and when I smashed down, you couldn't even be bothered to sway your body?"

At this moment, the ambulance downstairs sounded its loud siren again and returned the way it came. Cui Yuru had been taken to the hospital, leaving behind only a patch of crushed shrubs where she had fallen. The onlookers—students and teachers alike—gradually dispersed.

"Why is the 'Six Harmonies Origin Skill' in the hands of your Huangquan Demon Sect? And the original copy at that!" Li Qing couldn't help but ask.

Originally, Jiang Yin had wanted to let the Beggar Sect disciples infiltrate various countries so that when Qin Mojun began his conquest, the disciples could incite internal chaos within the cities to facilitate an attack from both inside and out. However, the current Beggar Sect formation made Jiang Yin consider having the disciples take the field themselves, though he was unsure of the formation's practical efficacy.

Inside the Shanhe Sect, the scene was already a living hell, as if the apocalypse had arrived to destroy the world.

"I will place Scars-Face by your side so that those old veterans won't dare to strike easily," Ku Gan said after a moment of contemplation.

"Ah Kun, thank goodness you came; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to stop the two of them," Chu Yu’er called out to the man.

Of course, Gu Qingcheng did not disappoint her. After he had arranged everything, he called her to report the outcome.

"Mother, you mustn't get agitated after I tell you this!" Zhao Jiamin thought for a moment before deciding to tell her mother first. She leaned into her mother's ear and repeated Hao Ran's words word for word.

Keeping the children in the space had many benefits: first, it was safe; second, she could go in to care for them at any time; and third, the three brothers could cultivate while inside.
