Chapter 108: Evidence!

With the project team handling matters directly, the negotiations that followed proceeded with exceptional smoothness.

Lin Mi’s team communicated efficiently with the project office, and the two sides reached a consensus on several matters, including the preservation of intangible cultural heritage, industrial development, and infrastructure construction. They also made preliminary plans for the allocation of the funds.

Qinghe County showed tremendous support for and cooperation with all of Lin Mi’s proposals, even taking the initiative to offer several preferential policies, including advantages regarding land use.

Guo Peng’s story had come from Chen Bin; otherwise, there was no way Lin Chu could have known about the story of Tong Yao.

The black figure stopped before Dongfang Yunyang. The eyes behind the mask stared fixedly at him.

“An immortal talisman?!” The brothers Si Yin and Si Yang were utterly dumbfounded. Jiang Chang’an’s astonishing words had struck them like a thunderclap from a clear sky. They looked at each other, overwhelmed with surprise and delight.

“If you had attacked only me, then out of consideration for my old mistress and master, who pleaded on your behalf, I could have dealt with you leniently.”

Mocking voices were not lacking around them. The flame of hope that had just ignited in Zhao Xinyan’s eyes went out once more. What cultivator would willingly become a cook? Presumably, Marshal Jun had encountered someone with superb culinary skills and recruited him for his own use.

For more than ten days after using the Scroll of Kagura’s Mind’s Eye, Dongfang Yunyang had been almost entirely immersed in practicing and studying it.

To think that one could achieve one’s desires merely by relying on those seemingly indestructible things one acknowledged subjectively…

“It is the Nine-Palace Sacred Gate! The forbidden technique passed down only through the direct lineage of the Ice Phoenix clan—” countless cultivators cried out in alarm.

The many powerful figures of the human race wore wooden expressions. They were grateful—grateful that they had not been born in that ancient era. The words they so often proclaimed, “Destroy the evil demons and heretical practitioners,” now felt like slap after slap across their faces, leaving them burning with pain.

A look of struggle appeared on Bellatrix Lestrange’s face, and she seemed to be suffering terribly.

After Tianman finished speaking, she took an exquisite barbecue tool set from her Lagrange bracelet.

Chen Tianhong walked forward step by step, never stopping at that turning point. As he gradually vanished around the bend, his elongated silhouette in the dim light seemed like a giant supporting both heaven and earth, his imposing presence capable of swallowing mountains and rivers.

“But, Senior Brother, the Li family has only a little strength left. If we charge one more time, the Li family will be finished for good!” Du Jiang said.

After letting out another furious roar, Su Quanzhong was about to rush outside and fight Chonghou Hu to the death.

Su Qi took note of it. Ye Feng then patted him on the shoulder and said, “You two have nothing to do, do you? You’ve got time, right? Then give him a call and do as he says. Consider it a favor I’m doing for my brother-in-law.” Ye Feng appeared warm and approachable.

Seeing Zi Xin’s condition, Du Kang carefully questioned him about all sorts of trivial matters, including what he had eaten and drunk at every meal over the past few days.

The two of them faced each other in silence, neither uttering a word, while their minds raced desperately as they searched for a countermeasure.

Inside a studio, Su Ning, Li Xiang, and many other staff members were gathered around a computer.

When Fang Ling had been in the room, Chen Yuyue had already sensed that someone inside was secretly peering outside. At first, however, he had not realized that it was Fang Ling. But after arriving at the Criminal Investigation Division, many things made Chen Yuyue feel that something was deeply suspicious.

However, after saying only a few words, Zhao Huangming suddenly felt two pairs of eyes staring straight at him.

The man in the blue robe furrowed his brows, surprised despite showing no anger. The short man before him possessed an extraordinary bearing. He had assumed the man came from an ordinary wealthy family, yet the fellow had suddenly produced so much gold and silver. An ordinary person would never carry that much money on them. The man in blue carefully scrutinized Wanying.

Before the aftershock had even dissipated, Han Pan caught a flash of cold light from the corner of his eye. His heart tightened, and he swept the treasured blade in his hand across to block the attack from the left.
