Jiang Mingzhuo stood up with a smile, "Then what are you still standing there for? Of course, we must protect him."
"I understand."
Zhang Que revealed a smile.
At this moment, Xu Mu was still surrounded by the crowd. Especially after learning he was an alchemist, even Wei Jingzhi began inviting him, wanting him to join the Sanitation Department.
Just then, two figures in black robes also approached.
One of the black-robed men said, "Xu Mu, please join us. Our organization will satisfy all your needs."
As this black-robed man drew near, he suddenly erupted with Qi.
Boom!
With a loud crash, the black-robed man appeared beside Lv Pinlong.
Lv Pinlong reacted immediately, raising his hand to counterattack.
But he found the black-robed man's arm was covered in a blue aura of Qi.
"Grandmaster?"
Lv Pinlong's face paled. Before he could even flee, his arm was seized.
Crunch!
A sickening sound followed as five fingers directly pierced into his flesh.
"Ah!"
Lv Pinlong let out a scream.
Simultaneously, another black-robed man grabbed Xue Kaixuan, using the same method to pierce his arm.
"Looking for death! How dare you touch someone from my Sanitation Department!"
Guo Wenmo roared in a low voice, instantly charging towards Lv Pinlong.
Meanwhile, Wei Jingzhi flashed rapidly towards Xue Kaixuan.
But at that moment, Wei Jingzhi suddenly stopped.
He saw yet another person launching a surprise attack towards Xu Mu.
Boom!
Wei Jingzhi stomped his foot on the ground, causing the earth to cave in entirely.
He instantly reversed direction back to Xu Mu's front. Compared to the others, Xu Mu's life was clearly more important than Xue Kaixuan's.
Wei Jingzhi held a thermos cup in one hand and clenched his other into a fist, smashing it towards the black-robed man.
The black-robed man also tightened his fist, raising the Qi around his body to its limit.
Boom!
Their fists were still a full meter apart, yet their Qi had already collided.
A spherical ripple instantly spread out in all directions, shattering everything in its path.
The people all around were sent flying by this force.
The experts from the various sects could still withstand it.
But the three people who had taken the Marrow-Cleansing Pills earlier were immediately shaken until they vomited blood and fell unconscious on the spot.
Xu Mu also felt a massive tremor through his body, sending him flying into the distance.
However, mid-air, he immediately adjusted his posture and finally landed steadily on the ground.
"Brother Mu, are you okay?"
Chen Xuan immediately ran over and asked.
"I'm fine. Getting hit like that all of a sudden felt like an intense massage, just a bit painful."
Xu Mu looked into the distance, unsure what had happened.
Bang!
The terrifying power released caused the ground to sink several meters. The distant, erected platform turned to dust.
The black-robed man's body was flung backward in an instant, crashing into the hillside behind.
A large crater was formed in the hillside.
"As expected of Wei Jingzhi. This junior still has a long way to go."
Jiang Mingzhuo looked at his bleeding arm and revealed a faint smile.
The blood on his arm gradually began to shimmer with a deep red light, then transformed into a blood mist.
The red mist swirled around his body, bloody and horrifying.
"This technique..."
Wei Jingzhi's eyes widened, then he turned to look at Jiang Sheng.
"You bastard! Jiang Mingzhuo! Kneel down!"
Jiang Sheng was furious, his eyes bulging with rage as he roared.
"Heheh! Dad, long time no see."
Jiang Mingzhuo gently released a burst of Qi force.
Rip!
The black robe he wore was torn to shreds.
Inside was a middle-aged man in a suit with a red tie.
He had a crew cut, a face full of stubble, and eyes that looked somewhat weary.
At this moment, his eyes were emitting a deep red glow.
Jiang Xingjun, seeing Jiang Mingzhuo, immediately erupted with power and charged towards him.
"Husband!"
Seeing this, Zhou Shui cried out in alarm.
But Jiang Xingjun did not stop. In an instant, he arrived before Jiang Mingzhuo.
He clenched his fist and threw a punch.
Swish!
Jiang Mingzhuo grabbed his wrist with one hand, "Jun! Haven't seen you in so many years. Is this how you greet your older brother?"
Boom!
Jiang Mingzhuo kicked Jiang Xingjun in the chest, sending him flying backward instantly.
He didn't stop, charging towards Xu Mu once again.
"Damn it!"
Xu Mu cursed inwardly. This bastard really does have a grudge against my old man.
He probably already guessed I'm Xu Shou's son.
"Don't worry, I'll help you."
Just then, Zhang Que appeared from behind, blocking in front of Xu Mu.
"Senior, you're really cool."
Xu Mu quickly said.
However, it wasn't Zhang Que's turn to act here.
"You unfilial son!"
Jiang Sheng shouted angrily, blocking in front of Jiang Mingzhuo.
Bang!
A blood mist suddenly erupted from Jiang Sheng's body. In just an instant, he appeared before Jiang Mingzhuo.
"Dad! You always said since I was little, with my talent, I could surpass you by my thirties or forties. I'm over fifty now!"
Bang!
A blood mist also erupted from Jiang Mingzhuo's body.
Swish, swish, swish...
Their figures flickered continuously. Every attack caused the earth to split.
The surrounding onlookers were dumbfounded. Wasn't this a martial arts contest for marriage?
Why did so many experts suddenly start fighting?
"Senior, what's going on?"
Xu Mu asked Zhang Que beside him.
"I don't know either."
Zhang Que said while smoking a cigarette.
Bang!
Jiang Sheng was sent flying instantly, crashing into the hillside.
But the next moment, he transformed into a red meteor, charging towards Jiang Mingzhuo again.
"Old Jiang! Leave him to me!"
Wei Jingzhi, holding his thermos cup, appeared in front of Jiang Sheng. "With two Senior Sanitation Workers here, you still dare to act recklessly? You've got some nerve!"
"Senior Wei, then why is only one Senior Sanitation Worker moving?"
Jiang Mingzhuo asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Wei Jingzhi and Jiang Sheng both turned around and saw Guo Wenmo currently squatting on the ground, looking at Lv Pinlong whose face had turned purple.
Lv Chuan was kneeling beside him, shouting and crying.
Not just him, but Xue Kaixuan and some of the sect experts around also had faces turning purple.
"Is this... poison?"
Wei Jingzhi stared at Jiang Mingzhuo and questioned.
"Correct. The latest highly potent poison developed by our Eternal Life Research Institute. Its efficacy is equivalent to a seventh-grade natural treasure."
Jiang Mingzhuo said with a smile. "By the way, none of us three have the antidote on us."
"You unfilial son! You joined the Eternal Life Research Institute?"
Jiang Sheng asked coldly.
"Joined many years ago. A villain like me, only the Eternal Life Research Institute dares to take me in."
Jiang Mingzhuo shrugged with a smile.
"What exactly do you want?"
Wei Jingzhi stared at Jiang Mingzhuo.
"Half a month ago, your Sanitation Workers captured three people from the Eternal Life Research Institute. Release them."
Jiang Mingzhuo looked at Wei Jingzhi. "Senior Wei, you know me. I'm a villain, but I keep my word. Release them, and the antidote will be delivered immediately."
"Then I'll capture you. I think the Eternal Life Research Institute wouldn't want to lose an expert of your level!"
Wei Jingzhi sneered.
"Senior Wei, think carefully. What are the first few steps the Sanitation Workers take every time they go on a mission to a relic site?"
Jiang Mingzhuo took out a Furongwang cigarette, pulling one out with his mouth. "Should I tell you? After all, I was once a Sanitation Department team leader too."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
