Chapter 118: Obstacles

Upon seeing the news, Shu Yiming’s lips curled into a faint, subtle smile. He took a deep breath and said, “Ouyang, this time, we don’t have to hide anymore. We can launch the new project directly within the company.”

In the past, Shu Yiming always carried out projects in secret. Now, with Shu Zucheng’s obstruction gone, nothing stood in their way.

No sooner had he finished speaking...

Looking out over Jiang City, this was the area with the highest land prices. Those who could live here were either extremely wealthy or held immense power.

Night remained pitch black, filled with a chilling aura. Some sensed the faint scent of blood that hung in the air.

As the Purple Dragon Fist was unleashed, a mist of purple fog spread, concealing Lin Ruofeng’s figure entirely within the violet martial energy.

“Your Highness,” Yan Qing had stayed within the Long Army these days and rarely accompanied Ye Mo. No one knew what matter had brought him here this time.

Baixiao Sheng himself was currently at mid-human realm cultivation. After receiving the Eight Immortals’ legacy, his strength surged dramatically. He had now fully inherited the legacy. For an ordinary late-stage human realm cultivator, defeating him was extremely difficult—some might even be killed in the attempt.

Staring at Lin Ruofeng, the man in black’s eyes were filled with shock. He hadn’t expected Lin Ruofeng to still be capable of delivering such a breathtakingly exquisite strike.

As for Princess Crescent Moon, that was just an accident. As long as no one discovered her, she would be safe.

“Sure enough, humans die for wealth just as birds perish for food. Since that’s the case, I’ll give your Holy Blood Demon Sect a choice: either hand over the spatial crystals, or test whether my sword here is sharp enough,” Su Xing declared.

Li Sandou brimmed with an overwhelming confidence. To make a name for himself here and achieve his goals, he knew he had to take some risks.

“Indeed, it’s not wrong to say my family has money. You know the Bai Group, right? That’s my foster father’s. But that money has nothing to do with me. You’ve seen what my cheap brother is like. My surname is Shi, not Bai. So the Bai family’s money is theirs; my money is mine. The Bai family being rich doesn’t mean I am,” he explained.

Upon hearing this, Yu Pin felt a surge of joy. The information she had received was indeed accurate—the Empress Dowager fell for this line every time.

Most importantly, no news could leak out. At this moment, the Longwu Sect was a sealed fortress; no matter how fierce the battles inside, no one outside knew a thing.

At last, the lowest-ranking Ghost Si also got to enjoy a moment of terror. He suddenly darted out from the shadows of the trees, startling a journalist so badly that the reporter stumbled and fell.

The Ling Tian Sect’s dominance stemmed from the formidable deterrence brought about by today’s events. The core reason was that Feng Lingtian and the others had joined the top-tier forces of the Tianluo Domain. Yet their own strength was insufficient to overpower the Celestial Sons. While pleased with the Ling Tian Sect’s status, there was also a hint of unease.

However, what happened that night was truly humiliating. There were too many witnesses, and Huang Rong was too embarrassed to ask directly.

The hateful and furious glances chilling to the bone did not, however, dampen the cheers of the disciples present. Many had already spread the news via their tokens.

Yet Feng Lingtian persisted, repeating his practice over and over. Sometimes his movements were blocked; the sound of sonic booms rang harshly. Countless eyes turned to him as he struck again and again with his staff, as if an invisible force was growing increasingly fearsome.

The three sisters exchanged smiles, their spirits soaring. With heads held high and full of vigor, they strode hand in hand toward room 2203.

Thus, the naive, big-hearted girl began playing in the water alongside the cowish girl, while Lin Yun remained on guard, even unleashing Eagle Eye Technique.

When an iron block traveling at ten kilometers per second struck its target, no defense could stop it—it would pierce straight through. Flesh and blood, even bolstered by chakra-enhanced bodies, could not withstand such a ninjutsu.
