Chapter 30: Outmaneuvered

Seeing the money offered to him, Zhao Weimin suddenly realized he was indeed penniless. As a hunter in the mountains, money was of little use to him. That Lin Qian was willing to give up her entire savings—or rather, her last line of defense—truly moved him. "No, you keep this money," Zhao Weimin said... A wise person needs no further explanation; Mingyue understood clearly that Prince Luling shared his anxieties. They were like lips and teeth; when one is lost, the other is cold; when the rabbit dies, the fox mourns. The green skin, tougher than elephant hide, was torn asunder, and muscles as strong as twisted steel wires were pierced by bullets, leaving holes the size of goose eggs as pale green blood gushed out in torrents. As long as the Buddha statue was defeated, Ye Long could obtain the information he sought from it. Although Chen Feng held water in his hands, these people did not see it as ordinary mineral water. To them, it was a life-saving medicine. At this moment, he could not help but reveal a disdainful smile. To think he was such a weakling; even his subordinates could easily take him down. If not for the fear of keeping his master waiting, he would not have bothered to act. In such tense moments, the encouragement of others is truly significant. At the very least, Chen Feng felt he was no longer facing this all alone; having someone’s support behind him gave him confidence, no matter how insignificant that strength might be. "Imperial brother, the journey to Suyang is long. Take care along the way," Chu Muzhi said, bowing to Chu Xi. Reconnaissance cannot be forced, or the consequences would be dire; it would be disastrous to receive false intelligence.

But Meng Fude did not understand. He only thought Wang Jin was mocking him and retorted irritably, "Just focus on playing your game!"—yet in his heart, he felt a burning need to prove himself. The enemies outside could rush in at any moment and kill them both; that was the most lethal danger. "Hoo!" Ling Tian’s eyes welled up with tears. He took one last deep look at the two coffins before leaving the place, finally departing the underground palace. At this moment, the person who most hoped for the Pig King’s death was Tang Yue. As a member of the Tianhong faction, she understood better than anyone the significance of removing the Pig King. While Yang Jiekai had other motives for coming to slay him, Tang Yue’s purpose was simple: to strike down a powerful henchman of the Nanhong faction and help Tianhong achieve final victory. The three forces were well-matched; though they never officially clashed, each followed its own rules, operating only within its own territory and never encroaching on others, thus maintaining a three-legged balance of power. A Peak Saint Immortal—such strength was not merely talk. At this moment, among the three saints of the Heavenly Court, including the Martial Emperor, no one could step into the realm of the "Peak." Reaching the peak meant being almost equal to the heavens; it was a height they could not hope to challenge. After leaving the base, they went to Liu Lei’s place. The original plan was to visit Liu Tao and collect the mutant beasts, but Wang Yang, knowing Li Yi was heading out, shamelessly tagged along. Had Liu Tao not been bedridden, he likely would have joined them too. Yang Jiekai spread his hands helplessly. He had intended to let the wealthy second-generation heirs like Wang Xiang persuade their families to handle this, but it seemed the matter was far more complex than imagined. The first two White Tiger Sect immortals had already stepped past Wu Yue’s feet, and the remaining ones followed in a file. Previously, when he was a mercenary abroad, five million meant nothing; he spent as much as he earned, for everyone in that profession knew that if you didn't enjoy life while you could, you might not live to see tomorrow. Thus, Yang Jiekai had no savings. Gu Bei said it was no problem. He signed the contract with the old man, paid the half-year rent and security deposit, and helped him move. Most items, such as clothes, important belongings, and bedding, were already packed. The furniture, appliances, and kitchenware were left for Gu Bei to use, so there wasn't much to move; a single Jinbei van carried it all away. With the addition of Mu Yuqing, the strength of the Gloom Alliance would surely skyrocket. Her potential... was beyond what any player could imagine. After ten breaths, the Ten Thousand Beast Seal returned to his body, and the Black Tiger calmed down, looking at him with extreme gentleness.

Then, to Xuanxu’s horror, the Yuqing Divine Thunder Pagoda erupted with a deafening roar. A massive pillar of thunderous light shot into the sky, as if intending to blast a hole through the heavens. What is the nature of the speed of light? C is approximately 299,792,458 meters per second. This speed dictates the upper limit for all matter with mass and determines the conversion value between matter and energy. Therefore, it is a rule, a physical constant, a law. Weevil lunged forward, his fists wrapped in thick Armament Haki, attacking Sabo frantically. Surrounded by intense killing intent, he was like a lion that had tasted blood, overflowing with aggression. After speaking, Sabo picked up four syringes, called Golduck and the Kung Fu Dugong over, and began injecting them. Seeing this, Weevil reached out for one himself and ran over to Sabo, asking for help with the injection. Since then, he calculated the age of the universe based on space-time decay—the rate at which background space-time fluctuations fade. The data from space-time fluctuations still pointed to about 13.6 billion years, but the white hole in the M33 galaxy told him: "Young man, you are still too naive. The data on space-time decay might also be fake." Furthermore, Sabo intended to develop his strength and cultivate his forces in the New World for a while. After all, to dominate the New World, the few people currently on his ship were clearly insufficient. Even if they all grew stronger, facing the immense power of the Four Emperors, they would always be at a disadvantage in a fight. This chasm, about a dozen meters wide, split Marineford in two, isolating the vast majority of the Navy on Whitebeard’s side. Although many could leap across such a gap, it effectively blocked most of the Navy and made the determination of the Whitebeard Pirates clear to all. "Let’s settle this outside," Reef said, kicking the door open. As he turned toward the street, he found a dagger pressed against his throat. Fu Shaojue watched the cadets coming and going from the military academy, his heart skipping a beat. He was terrified that he might miss her and fail to reach her side in time.
