Chapter 31: Lin Muzhi’s Last Letter

Yang Shi intended to follow up with a second strike, but the long sword in his hand shattered into pieces, denying him the chance.

In this lifetime, with the establishment of the Industrial Special Zone and Song Lifeng governing Fucheng with a firm focus on developing industry around the Northern Industrial Group, the fate of Fucheng had completely changed. Five years ago, Song Lifeng set a goal for Fucheng to reach an annual income of about 10,000 yuan by the end of the century, equivalent to a monthly income of around 800 yuan.

This was to be expected, as Gu Liufu had been constantly draining lucky energy to cause trouble for An Ran, meaning the benefits she brought to the Gu family in this world were far less than in her original world.

If Liu Lang were to see this robot, he would surely recognize it, as such toys would be known as Transformers more than a decade later. The toy he bought for Mu Jingyi was likely the first Transformer in the country; if auctioned off decades later, it would surely be worth a fortune.

If one were to really split hairs, it was hard to say who truly called the shots in this capital city.

Sui Yun and Sui Yu were speechless. Looking at the signature on the tablet, they saw a scrawled "Bian San," yet among the famous aristocratic clans of the Great Qin, there was no such family surnamed Bian.

One could not blame Lin Zhizhi for her worry; after all, everyone in the company knew that Su Yimo’s backer was that person from the Lu Group.

"Previously, Lone Fox came here to attack Lin Zhi. Lone Fox has already been taken away, but I fear his accomplices might seek revenge, so I want you to protect Lin Zhi closely for a period of time," Zhang Rui said.

After Ning Xi climbed up, she made no mention of the fact that Lu Xinyan had pushed her. Lu Xinyan, feeling guilty, did not dare to say an extra word, let alone try to cover for Guan Ziyao.

Although she had killed directly back then without using spells, she estimated that possession and the like would also consume spiritual power, which was why she could not kill continuously.

Liu Piaoyi was appointed as the nine-hundredth centurion. Because she excelled in hidden weapons and close-quarters combat, Ling Xia ordered her to form a unit specialized in hand-to-hand fighting. Unlike soldiers in a chaotic melee, their primary role was to cut into enemy lines to destroy enemy facilities and supplies to the greatest extent possible.

Bai Chen closed his eyes. Regardless of what he was thinking, he had to keep up the charade now.

If he could win earlier, Lu Junyi could have preserved some internal energy to deal with other variables. But if the fight dragged on for another two hours, even if he eventually defeated Sun An, he himself would be at the end of his rope. To then challenge Song Ba? That would be a joke.

"A pity," Mo shook his head regretfully. With a flash of light, the chessboard in his hand vanished.

Lei Shengda had already circled the room and returned to tell us that there seemed to be nothing there. We also checked the circular stone ring in the center that the stone cross-bridge led to.

The second puzzle was that the internal energy gap in Hua Yaotong’s body should have existed for a long time. Hua Yaotong had been controlling it well; why did it suddenly erupt?

An aged voice rang in Bai Chen’s ears. He looked at the old man, his gaze remaining cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Seeing a ghost in broad daylight," Zhou Nianping cursed under his breath. He shouldered two shovels, returned to the thatched cottage, and called Mu Changfeng to leave immediately.

Lu Junyi was so angry his nose was crooked. He thought to himself, my master not letting me kill you alongside others is effectively giving you a chance at life, just to see if you can escape from the hands of others. I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful; instead of resisting these Jin Tartars, you come to fight me to the death. Have you truly gone mad?

Both were intelligent people; many things did not need to be spoken plainly. A single glance was enough to see through each other’s thoughts.

In the dead of night, the starry sky beneath the dark veil was profound. Occasionally, a few cold cicadas chirped, and a ghostly black shadow streaked across the edge of the Divine Realm.

Zhao Hua shouted, channeling all his spiritual power into the Departure Fire Leaf. The power of the leaf increased greatly, making the Fire Lotus Array more than twice as strong. Zhao Wuji screamed incessantly as he was burned by the enhanced fire lotus.

"Senior, this secret technique seems incomplete?" Zhao Qisheng examined the jade slip back and forth, discovering that the technique was indeed unfinished.

The ones speaking were Qilin, making his first appearance, and Feng Moyi. They had not participated in the decisive battle ahead but had been waiting here all along.

To eat the Bodhi Cherry fruit, she had long been asking other senior brothers through indirect inquiries. As for her own senior brother, forget it; he would definitely hear the clues, and she didn't want to lose more than she gained.

"What I want to say is..." Zheng Zha closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then threw a heavy punch that sent Li Xiaoyi, who was sitting up, flying. The force was immense; the unprepared Li Xiaoyi flew off the altar immediately, landing with a thud several meters away, clutching his face and looking at the blood-red-eyed Zheng Zha in disbelief.

Yecheng was a key stronghold of Jizhou, with high walls and deep moats, not easily broken. It was the foundation of Yuan Shao’s presence in Hebei. If they could hold Yecheng firmly, it would be difficult for the Cao army to break the city.

He left after speaking, but Tianlan fell into deep thought. Jiang Baojian said there were other gods living in this place. Could they see through the fact that he was not a Pure God? Beyond his concerns for his own safety, he was even more worried about the issue of cultivation methods.

His whole body shone with a golden light, and then he fell down as if he had been attacked. The golden light shot down from the sky, but upon hitting Shao Han, it only stirred up ripples of golden brilliance.

Jin Feng’s expression changed. She swept a glance at the two guards, dismounted in one motion, passed by Chu Yunlian, and walked step by step, moving with abnormal slowness. That sharp, superior aura was so sudden it scared the two guards into stuttering, leaving them speechless.
