Volume One, Chapter 53: The Assassin Is Attacked
Lü Bu pondered for a moment, then burst into laughter. He issued an imperial decree to Dian Wei and Pang De: screen the prisoners; all the elderly and weak are to be released back to their fields. All elite soldiers are to be shipped in numbers to the Dwarf Islands to open mines. The rest of the captives are to be enslaved in numbers to reclaim wasteland at the border frontiers, while the troublemakers and skilled fighters among them are to be singled out and executed in numbers.
Even Liang Yongbai, who was capable of calming his mind to study and possessed great patience, eventually lost his patience.
The end of the corridor was pitch black. Ye Zilu and Gao Yue stared in utter astonishment at the dark starry sky, looking around to find themselves isolated in the universe, with only a rectangular opening behind them indicating that they had indeed plunged from a lavishly decorated corridor straight into the vast and boundless cosmos.
Furthermore, she felt an inexplicable sense of reliance on this man. Although his character left something to be desired, he was undoubtedly an omnipotent superman.
Tang Jin deliberately sought out such a place for the purpose of testing the martial arts skills he had copied from the old Daoist priest using his advanced-level ability.
Coupled with the fact that Lear used his status to put on a mysterious front, his strategy was simple and direct yet hit the most critical points every single time. How could he possibly lose? Thinking of this, Jenny turned pale, and a wave of crushing defeat swept over her heart.
"As for the Sea of Grievous Souls, since you always fly anyway, with a good defensive formation and plenty of Heavenly Divine Thunder, crossing it is not too difficult. As for the Quicksand Ferry, well, hehe, I was severely injured the moment I stepped onto it, so I am not clear what kind of monster is wreaking havoc there," the old fellow said awkwardly.
None of them expected such a dramatic turnaround to happen in such a short span of time.
At that moment, Tang Jin suddenly sensed something and raised his head to look at her. As their eyes met, Chen Bingwen suddenly felt her face burn with heat; she hastily turned around and hurried into the inner room.
Ren Sinian's soft and gentle voice was like a wisp of spring breeze, melting away the gloomy melancholy Leng Yi had accumulated over the past few days.
Since the commander's seal was currently in his hands, if Wangxi City were to be lost during the battle, he would have to bear the greatest responsibility.
Therefore, there was no need to conceal it from her, and he recounted the incidents of being attacked twice to her.
The Emperor fell into deep thought as he looked at this confession. Although he harbored a trace of wariness toward the fraternal twins born to Feng Minyi and Wang Yaoyao, he still had to put on an appropriate outward display on the surface.
In this performance, Lin Yang undoubtedly held the upper hand because the most crucial child truly belonged to Zhou Bingyao. In other words, Zhou Tianfang had already lost.
Arriving at the bottom of the well, there indeed lay a precious sword. As for those bones, they should belong to a dragon. However, dragon bones were temporarily of no use to him, so he left them there for the time being.
Such news left Chen Linsheng feeling vexed and irritable, prompting him to toss his cell phone onto the office desk.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yi told her that he had already sent someone to tail Fan Xiuwan and detailed the specific findings from the previous investigation.
"Fool, you won't even need to wait until sunset, because you probably won't live to see the sun go down," Wenren Xin thought to himself darkly.
The reward of two drops of spiritual liquid a day was already very generous, so Shen Jia immediately suppressed the urge to give Da Huang a raise; it felt too wicked.
However, this piece of flattery sounded exceptionally grating to Wu Ye's ears. Everyone knew very well what the governance and environment of the fiefdom had been like over the past few years—if not quite in dire straits, it was certainly chaotic and disorderly—yet here you were proclaiming universal peace and prosperity.
The beating they had taken down at the tower just moments ago was already enough to make them miserable; it would be disastrous if the opponent seized the initiative and struck first again.
Soft time kneaded away persistence, turning the waiting barren. When the years arrived, their footsteps awakened time, yet an unyielding heart was not extinguished by it.
Qin Yu found the sensation very familiar, but he could not recall where he had encountered it for a moment. However, the other party's next action instantly made him remember precisely where they had met.
Human society had experienced several fluctuations of spiritual energy and gradually grown accustomed to high concentrations of it. Moreover, having advanced to become postnatal cultivators, going to the cultivator realm was no longer a problem. Besides, there was nothing much left to do here anyway; rather than sitting around in a daze, everyone might as well go to the cultivator realm just to sightsee and travel.
Carefully selecting a massive quantity of goods, Young Master Long and Jingjing led a team a week later to activate the formation and head once more toward the Tailing Realm.
The moment that Tesla departed, Huo Xiao followed closely behind. Along the way, the two cars maintained a formation of one leading and one trailing amidst the heavy traffic. Huo Xiao kept a specific distance—close enough not to lose them, yet far enough not to be noticed.
Coming here was like embarking on an adventure, exploring novel things, meeting pretty girls and wealthy men, all to fill their respective inner voids and superficially make themselves appear powerful and alluring.
Neji nodded and asked no more questions. His gaze returned to the chessboard to observe the subsequent developments.
Su Chen certainly did not know that the Situ family was planning to unite with several other major families to deal with him, and even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared in the least.
The instant the leather belt descended, Xu Zhen let out a shriek akin to a slaughtered pig while his legs trembled incessantly.
Suddenly, just as the few of them were feeling unsettled and desperately trying to find a way to escape from this place, they felt a momentary trance before their vision went completely black.
The living entities inside simply chose not to emerge; once they did, the entire Divine Continent would likely be turned completely upside down.
