Chapter 158: The Mysterious Man

Fang Wenxuan took the drink, finding it refreshing, smooth, and sweet, so he took another large sip.

"Don't just focus on drinking, have some roasted meat to line your stomach," Lin Hui said, handing the skewers to Fang Wenxuan.

Fang Wenxuan took a bite, but found it intensely spicy. He quickly grabbed his drink and took another massive gulp.

"Senior brother, you put way too much chili powder on this, but I love it!" Fang Wenxuan said with a cheerful grin as he looked at Lin Hui.

"I knew you liked spicy food, here, have another batch," Lin Hui said, handing him another skewer.

Just like that, Lin Hui grilled and handed the food over to Fang Wenxuan, who happily ate whatever was cooked, finding the flavor exceptional. After a little while...

As for his lower attire, he wore a pair of ultra-smooth, high-end trousers made from a material whose composition Ye Haochuan simply could not discern.

Sensing this bone-chilling murderous intent, the surrounding atmosphere instantly quieted down. The wrath of a half-immortal was certainly not something to be taken lightly.

However, what left Ye Haochuan speechless was that the Demonic Fire Golden Phoenix was evidently keeping its guard up, having left behind as many as five or six Heavenly Venerate realm experts to garrison the clan.

With that, Judge Lu reined in his aura and looked at me inquiringly. I nodded gently. The members of the Lin family looked toward their father and grandfather.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu was still underwater. He, too, suddenly felt the impact of this extremely high-decibel sonic attack. Even after being attenuated by the water, the piercing scream still sent a dull, painful throbbing through his eardrums. One could only imagine how much worse the situation would be on the surface.

"This is an order!" Xu You pressed on, his voice deepening as a powerful aura instantly erupted from his body.

Hearing this, Qiao Luoyu felt a stifling weight in his chest. Having heard Xizhi cry out "Big Brother Lu" in that manner the previous night, he knew deep down that the relationship between the two was far from simple. Her words now only confirmed his lingering, faint suspicion.

"This is only right; we could never just stand by and watch you lose your life to a fox spirit," Gousheng said earnestly from the side. Shen Jing’s pretty face flushed slightly as she whispered a word of thanks.

Before entering, Wang Chen had assumed it was just a regular room of modest size. Once inside, however, he realized it was cleverly concealed, bearing a similar nature to the hidden villa within Liu Xue’s office—though by comparison, the one hidden inside Liu Xue’s office was far superior.

Hong Tian flashed a wicked smile, his gaze sharpening as it pierced through space. The next moment, he vanished directly into a pitch-black void.

The Qilian Mountains served as a sacred ground for humanity, brimming with Daoist experts everywhere. Stone’s cultivation was completely unremarkable, so why had he been assigned to this mission? Could there be some hidden story behind it?

Why did the Crown Prince keep staring straight at him? Could the Crown Prince possibly be bent? At this thought, Han Luoluo shuddered uncontrollably.

Two piercing beams of light shot from Meng Batian’s eyes. The heavy drowsiness vanished completely, his entire body surged with strength, and bulging muscles exaggeratedly displayed his ferocious power.

Seeing that Stone was unrelenting, Liang Long and his gang hurriedly dragged him into a vehicle and drove off.

Jingzhong was left utterly dumbstruck by his master until Xiao Jiangyuan beckoned to him. He finally snapped out of it and scurried to Xiao Jiangyuan’s side.

By the end of the year, under the pretext that An Lushan was harboring brave warriors, recruiting strategists, stockpiling funds, grains, and weaponry, and privately manufacturing official robes in his territory, Li Longji approved the proposal of Xiao Jiangyuan and Yang Guoqiang. He issued an imperial decree to An Lushan, dangling the position of chancellor as bait to see if the man would dare to come.

Ahead of them, two aircraft had yet to react before Stone and his companions vanished into thin air.

"What? Peonies can bloom in winter, too? What method did Big Brother use?" Li Longye asked eagerly. Seeing Li Longye bombard him with questions, and realizing that Li Chengqi had clearly not expected to be pestered so relentlessly by his youngest brother, struggling slightly to reply, Li Longji could not help but chuckle softly.

The employees of the Yun Group were pale with hunger, their stomachs growling incessantly, yet no one dared to utter a word of complaint. With the CEO enduring the hardship alongside them, nobody dared to gamble with their career and future.

Seeing Meng Batian rolling around on the ground in agony, Shen Ling’er had no idea what to do and burst into tears of fright. Suddenly hearing Meng Batian’s shout, she jumped in surprise, and by the time she recovered her senses, Meng Batian had already passed out.
