Chapter 89: My Woman, I Will Protect Her Myself

“This matter still needs investigation.”

Gu Bin’s eyes darkened, and his voice was so cold it held not a trace of warmth. “Before the police arrive, don’t say another word. Keeping silent will be better for you.”

“You don’t believe me?”

Zhang Xiaoqian was pierced by the icy indifference in his gaze, and a hint of despair showed on her face.

“Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her speak again...”

Gu Bin ignored her. With a casual shove, he pushed her into Wang Fan’s arms and strode toward the man who claimed to be the injured party’s younger brother.

“Your question is like asking whether a computer running an XP system with a certain antivirus program and the same computer running that same antivirus program on Windows 7 are still the same computer running that program,” Offshore Island said.

“More or less. But there’s an even stranger case right in front of you. If it’s a plant-type soul beast taking human form... then without someone to care for it, it’s as good as dead,” Dai Huadong said flatly.

Three batches had already been sent, and none had succeeded. The mission Liu Zhengwei had assigned was now no longer even discussed. Assassins were not fools; they wanted to live a few more years themselves. The bounty was not especially high either. The elite killers disdained it, the lesser ones dared not accept it, and so the task had become a dead commission.

Ye Chen quietly slipped into a blind spot near the ancient castle, watching the heavily guarded fortress with a grave expression.

The man who had just spoken, seeing that quite a few people disagreed, was not in the least anxious. He began to speak again, slow and unhurried.

“He’s about to undergo the tribulation!” Qin Yu murmured in a low voice. He did not charge to the top of the cliff, but lingered three meters below it, feigning exhaustion.

Moreover, as a sponsor, Morningstar Works had long since bought up at least a quarter of the admission tickets. One had to know that this continent had not yet developed the notion of ticket scalping.

Rong Xiaolan took out her phone and looked at the moving red dot on the screen. Wild delight appeared on her face, along with a touch of jealousy. She herself was out carrying out a mission, yet Zhang Hao was traveling in the company of a beauty. To say it did not hurt would have been a lie.

After hearing the news, Xiao Jiangyuan stood in a rare daze for a very long time. Only when Yang Sixu smacked her shoulder hard did she come back to herself.

At that moment, Wang Qiu’er had already awakened her Golden Dragon innate power, Golden Pride, pushing the terrifying strength attribute of her Golden Dragon bloodline to the very limit. She had even activated Golden Perception.

Yue Beihuai let out a free and easy burst of laughter. It was the first time Nan Ju had ever seen him look so at ease.

For some unknown reason, the Dragon Kings of the myriad heavens had now been drawn here. If you said the Ancient Ancestor’s expression still looked pleasant, that would be a lie.

As the head of the Li family, it would already have been one thing for him to act in person, but now two supreme elders of the clan had joined forces as well, and their target was only a youth of sixteen or seventeen who had not even reached the Divine Organ Secret Realm. No matter how one looked at it, it was deeply humiliating.

Under everyone’s expectant gaze, time passed bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, the radiance had already spread to a radius of nine hundred and ninety-nine meters, yet the heaven-favored genius who had caused the light to flare still had not appeared.

“Hey, hey, I’m up, I’m up! How old am I already, and you’re still yanking my ear?” Zhang Ming had just been about to drift back to sleep when a sharp pain shot through his ear again and again. He quickly scrambled upright and shouted in displeasure.

Having cultivated to his current level, Chu Feng had originally thought he had caught up with his generation. What he had not expected was that among those of the same generation, there was still a group of prodigies who had begun training ten or twenty years earlier, and their realms were so much higher than his.

Today they had encountered the leader of Heavenly Scourge, and of course they were thrilled. They wanted to fight him and see whether he was truly as Cai Fengyang had said. If he could defeat them, then they too would be willing to stake their lives on Ye Tian and conquer the world at his side.

Even with Shi Hao’s vast experience, he could not help secretly rejoicing at the three pills he had obtained. At the same time, his fists clenched tightly.

What shocked him was that the other side was far from as simple as he appeared; he had actually blasted a gap into the Spirit King Stone Egg.

At the sight of this scene, the disciples of the academy around them were filled with horror. Naturally, they recognized these people.
