Chapter 74: The Case Is Fully Taken Over by the 857 Bureau

Yesterday, in the new small group chat of four, Shi Yi already knew that Gu Hansheng hadn’t returned to his room the entire night, likely meaning he hadn’t slept at all. However, Shi Yi felt that this matter should still be kept from Gu Hansheng. He didn’t want everyone to know and worry, and she understood this reasoning. So she pretended not to know anything.

“Is it because you didn’t sleep well last night?” she asked.

Gu Hansheng scratched his head and set the paper cup of milk aside.

Iron Ox clenched his fists with a loud crackling sound, glaring fiercely at the servants of the Li family. The servants, intimidated by Iron Ox’s menacing demeanor, gasped and dared not approach.

Those colleagues you slew, the suffering endured by your companions, and the despair that came with being shrouded in darkness...

“It’s still early. If you want to take a walk, go ahead. There’s no rush anyway. We’ve been cooped up in the stronghold for so long; it’s time to relax a little,” said Old Chen with a smile. With these words, he was really giving himself an excuse to step down. Deep down, he still hadn’t given up; he wanted to see more of what lay outside the stronghold.

Yin Jie was dumbstruck. What was going on? The range of these bastards’ cannons far exceeded that of his own. Last time, when the Black Banner Army ambushed the Jinyiwei camp, even then the cannons weren’t this powerful. What was happening this time? Were these people hiding their true strength?

“Village Chief Guo,” Aunt Zhao blurted out in surprise, quickly greeting him, her face unable to conceal her embarrassment.

The Bone Dragon was immensely powerful and destructive, crushing the skeletal undead as if they were made of clay. The undead seemed deeply afraid of it, even slowly retreating.

With a low growl, dark red flames suddenly burst from Yan’s body, and in an instant, he began to swell dramatically.

In any case, the other side had already transferred two Xuan-grade spirit beast inner cores as a deposit through the Ascension Order.

Yu Yao’s face was filled with intense reluctance. Although Long Xiao’s command would allow the Heavenly Alliance troops to vent their anger to the fullest, actually carrying it out was incredibly difficult.

“Even if there are ghosts, don’t be afraid—Lord Zombie will protect you,” Ah Tao promised solemnly.

By the end, only the Luo family’s close friends and relatives remained. Even Old Lady Sun hadn’t stayed long—she was the only one from the Dingguo Duke’s mansion to visit today. The rest were directly forbidden by her. In her words, she knew Sun Yijia was doing well in the Luo family, and that was enough.

Whether he liked or disliked her, whether he spoke gently or lashed out in anger...

He Zhenwei stepped forward and sat at He Zhihai’s bedside, patting his chest without the slightest courtesy. He Zhihai shuddered and let out a miserable cry.

Especially Elder Yuan Zhong, who was already in the tunnel. Seeing countless golden bolts of lightning rushing toward him, he instinctively staggered backwards. Before the golden lightning could strike him, he quickly retreated to the side of Lord Wanjue Demon.

“Now, I have saved her. Maybe one day she’ll reveal my secret, but at least I can live with my conscience clear. In fact, after saving Luo Ningxin, the barrier that had long blocked my heart vanished as if it had never existed.”

Ye Cangtian’s hands formed a series of seals, and a dazzling jet-black radiance appeared in his palms. Like surging waves, it swept out, instantly expanding to a distance of fifty feet, colliding with the attacks of the other two.

Ever since coming here, her diet had consisted almost entirely of her own steamed buns and rice, with hardly any meat. Now, smelling the aroma of meat, she found herself unable to resist her craving.

So, those court officials still didn’t know that the family’s little secrets had already become public gossip.

And from the matter of lifting the seal, they had come to realize clearly that there must be a supreme master standing behind Shen Bingrao.
