Chapter 66: The Perpetrator is More Likely to Be the Suspect!

She had even discussed this strategy with her family today, believing it to be foolproof. Never had she expected that despite preparing such well-documented evidence, she would completely lose to a few words from Zhu Zixuan, rendering her brilliant plan so utterly vulnerable.

In fact, there was no need to run all the way to the Empress Dowager or the Grand Empress Dowager. With Shui Muxia’s loud shout, coupled with the long tail of followers trailing behind them, the news spread like wildfire, flying into every palace. Not to mention the Empress Dowager, even the Grand Empress Dowager learned of it.

As Shan Bin became the first to cross the finish line, the outcome of the first stage of the ten-kilometer cross-country race was decided—no, even the second stage held very little suspense left.

However, under the current circumstances, if the true essence protective barrier were to be dispersed all at once, the howling, violent gale would instantly tear everyone present into shreds. Thus, the barrier could only be dissipated bit by bit.

Without exception, Beigong Xiyue was also startled by Miba, the talking snake. She pointed at Miba in astonishment, completely rendered speechless.

Hearing this, Lian Cheng was so furious he nearly cursed aloud. This fellow truly had no sense of household management, oblivious to the high cost of living, and his financial acumen was absolute trash.

Turning to look at Chen Feng’s side, no one present dared to make a single reckless move. They hovered suspended in mid-air, the stillness so profound that only the blowing wind could be heard.

Seeing the taboo of death claim their master, the disciples of the three major sects in the demon realm lost their core pillar of support. Furthermore, witnessing that colossal monster withstand the attacks of three thousand people without a single scratch and crush their sect leader to death with a single palm strike, how could they possibly continue to fight?

"Samurott, let's go too! Mega Horn!" Yeyu shouted unyieldingly. Compared to Giga Impact, which had side effects, he trusted Mega Horn much more, as it carried no side effects whatsoever.

Slowly, slowly, at some unknown moment, Bibi Dong’s right hand gently caressed his cheek, her gaze appearing exceedingly strange.

Sun Cuiping was extremely infuriated by Zhao Chengye’s attitude; why couldn’t Zhao Chengye share the same heart and mind with her?

Chu Zihai did not quite understand Ye Xiao's words, scratching his head as he pondered. As a half-breed, his knowledge reserves certainly belonged to the top-tier student level, but as an ordinary person, his breadth of knowledge was indeed very shallow.

"I am familiar with that fellow Yin Ming’s aura. I reckon he must have had a fight recently, leaving behind quite a bit of lingering vital energy. I can track him down just by following the scent," Kuang Di said quite complacently.

After a rough glance, Lin Mo felt secretly overjoyed. This martial art looked exceptionally impressive; named the Great Stele-Shattering Hand, it was a palm technique delivered from the heavens, complete with built-in soul attacks.

Jiang Ren let out a soft breath, finally detaching himself from the chaotic and numerous memories of this simulated life, and remembered that he was still a young man.

Instead, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, turned her head, and swept her hand across the wound. A multicolored light covered the injury, and it healed instantly, as if it had never existed at all.

At this moment, the chubby orange cat said indifferently, "Wrap the remaining half of the stone in your vital energy and hand it over to Wu Zhengdao when you get back." With that, the chubby cat vanished in a flash.

What was even more absurd was that every single name sounded more formidable than the last. Anyone unaware would think it was some world-destroying catastrophe. He grew angry, but upon closer inspection, it was just much ado about nothing.

When Duan Yu looked at Wang Yuyan, however, he felt absolutely nothing, a detail that left Duan Feng with a sense of strange wonder.

His detachment had already wounded her far more deeply in invisible ways. Yun Qianqian felt as though someone had carved a knife straight into her heart, causing an ache so agonizing she could barely breathe.

Bai Jing stared wide-eyed; this was completely different from the legends. Weren't pythons supposed to be lustful and cruelly merciless in nature?

Jiang Rong surely didn't realize the slightly gloating expression currently on her face, did she? Fan Yiyi withdrew her gaze. Jiang Rong probably thought she was being toyed with, and given the heap of unspoken misunderstandings, it wasn't surprising if things had changed.

Wang Caijun let out a slight sigh. A single penny can defeat a hero of old; currently, the very first thing she needed to do was to pawn some items.

"One always needs to be careful with injuries involving bones and tendons," Jiang Rong helped her sit down before taking a seat herself.

"Something has happened. I came looking for Caijun precisely to have him find a way to contact you, since it's not convenient for me to proactively seek you out!" Dongfang Moran said with a stern expression.

"Mother An, you may pick and choose who to use in the kitchen. Any who are unsatisfactory can be sent over, and I will have them all sold off together." Wang Caijun finally wore a smile as she spoke to Old Mother An.

Because Shen Yuechen had just woken up, she didn't have much of an appetite. Fortunately, Nurse Wu had prepared a bowl of iced sour plum soup in advance to stimulate her appetite.

Upon seeing Jun Qianxi’s all-submerging face, the disciple showed not a shred of infatuation, only trembling all over as he continually kowtowed on the ground to beg for mercy.

The moment he thought of this, he instantly lost his composure, rushing hurriedly to the backyard to discuss the matter with his wife.

Grandma Zhang also pulled Wu Bai and Wu Tang over, and a circle of people surrounded another circle of people, happily singing and dancing together.

Next, combining [Hunyuan Skill: Smooth and Easy] with the remaining nine copies of [Huashan Internal Skill: Smooth and Easy] for synthesis.

For instance, the pink athletic wear Fu Xingxing had once given him had made Jin Yuanshao happy for an entire day! When he was in a good mood, the employees had an easier time as well.

Water and sky blended into one, vast and boundless. Soft sandy beaches and azure seawater made one feel instantly uplifted.

That strange bird was a hundred zhang long, pitch-black all over, with a huge red fleshy ball on its forehead. Its gaze was like lightning and its face sharp and monkey-like, looking thoroughly spine-chilling.

Trying to put the gun inside, he felt his palm grow light, and the Beretta M9 also turned translucent.

Even after brutally murdering the Robins, he didn't even kill Alfred; instead, he forced him to eat garbage, tormented him madly, and whispered into his ear. After driving Alfred completely mad, he made him continue to serve him.

Mou Ping? She should be available, but like him, she was just a tragic wage slave. So late at night, it was better not to exhaust her.

It was only out of consideration for Cai Xiuling’s face that he had never said anything, choosing to turn a blind eye and let it pass.

He had no choice but to speak this way; if he carried the title of a convicted criminal, his words would lack backbone and confidence.

"Stop talking, your integrity has completely vanished!" I hurriedly interrupted Yan Qing’s train of thought. If we continued to bicker, even worse things would probably come out of his mouth.

Upon reaching the third floor, we discovered we could go no further. Because it was an abandoned, unfinished building, the stairs only reached the third floor. To go from the fourth floor and above, we had to climb more than a dozen meters from the outside.
