But she did not say this to Deputy General Zuo; even if she had, it would have been useless. She could only exchange a few idle words with him, steer the conversation elsewhere, and then pretend to be exhausted as she entered the main tent. No one had lived there for a long time, and the interior was cold and deathly silent, though the furnishings were reasonably neat.

“Since our friend does not wish to be disturbed, then we shall leave.”

The man lightly clenched his teeth. He was decisive enough, turning around at once and preparing to depart.

On the third day after returning from the Ming residence, the consort of Princess Jincheng—her elder brother, Ming Chongyuan—was imprisoned. The charge was treason. On further investigation, it became a case of plotting to assassinate Marquis Jing.

Although Ye Xingchen had already fallen into a coma, he was undergoing a trial in which he was clinging to life by the narrowest margin. Deep within his soul, an evil presence was corroding his spirit. If he could not withstand it, his soul would be scattered into oblivion.

This Jianmu tree was still in its infancy, much like a human baby. It was at the stage when it cried out desperately to be fed, and milk was the most important thing. As long as it had food and drink, what else would it care about?

Although Chu Li had always been skilled with his left hand, once, during a shared evening meal, she clearly saw him try to use his right hand to pick up food with his chopsticks. His hand trembled constantly, and in the end, he gave up.

Queen Jiang was right. Far too many lives stood between them, and so they were destined to become enemies. Before responsibilities as weighty as mountains, love was doomed to crumble.

“All right. Listen carefully. From now on, wherever you go, I will go too. The moment you break the law, I will arrest you!”

After saying this, Hou Zhijun turned and climbed into the car.

The golden halo spun at tremendous speed, countless clusters of light revolving within it. As the rotation grew faster and faster, beams of light suddenly shot out from within.

Although his strength was already more than sufficient for dealing with ordinary players, such a standard seemed rather low for the leader of an organization.

“Three cards are at least some consolation.”

He immediately left the summoning space. Lin Feng then took to the sky and hurried toward Dark Moon.

The twelve elders of the Sima family were extremely curious, yet they understood the larger situation. Still, when their gazes fell upon Luo Tian, each wore a look of astonishment, because the sudden appearance of the Sima Ancestor was certainly connected to him.

“Young Master Bai Zhan, are you sure you are not joking with me? A hundred Emperor-grade Body-Tempering Pills still are not enough?”

Song Xuanfeng asked again, still unable to believe it.

After finishing this, Li Fan raised his head and identified the direction. A flash of black radiance swept across his body, and he transformed into a streak of light that shot into the distance.

“Brothers! It’s even colder inside this cavern than outside. This python can stay in the cave for three or five days without a problem. Why are you in such a hurry?”

As Xing Zeyuan spoke, Qiong Ling instantly vanished from where he stood. Qiong Ling ran straight ahead rather than along a winding path.

At the first contact between the energies, they were immediately repelled, triggering another round of lightning attacks.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Luo Tian. The Ancestor ordered me to wait here for you. Please come with me.”

Before the Mountains and Rivers Palace, a cultivator from the Sima family cupped his fists in greeting to Luo Tian, then turned and walked into the palace.

The Decaying Yin Hand was a famous technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and an extremely sinister one at that. Once a cultivator was struck by it, their entire body would rot within three days, leaving them to suffer unimaginably before dying.

“Hmph.”

Andugalos snorted coldly and instantly transformed into a blurred afterimage, charging forward at even greater speed.

Jiang Feng seized Lingyunzi and was about to smash him into Xiao Dalu. Lingyunzi hurriedly shouted, “I have it! I have it! I’ll give it to you!”

“All right, enough. I’m asking you this: are you going or not? If you refuse, I’ll sell the spirit herb. If you go, I’ll give it to you.”

Mo Mo began to threaten him.

One had to understand that he would certainly be extremely busy for a long time to come. Throughout that period, his focus and energy would inevitably be devoted primarily to martial cultivation.

After putting down the phone, Ye Xiu clenched his fists, an utterly resolute light appearing in his eyes.

The Death Vine Spear appeared once more. Its target was not Yuanshi, but the black dragon! Yet the black dragon suddenly exhaled a breath of dark flame, and before the Death Vine Spear could even approach it, the weapon vanished without a trace.

This was the first time she had ever cooked. She was afraid that she would do it badly and be mocked by Jiang Huairen. Only after driving Jiang Huairen away did she feel she could cook in peace.

As they ran farther and farther away, Qin Zhao and the others eventually reached the rear hills of a park. The park, however, had been abandoned for many years, and ordinarily no one was willing to come there. In truth, Qin Zhao had not even known the place existed; he had simply found it by chance while running.

Yet in the brief instant he closed his eyes, a monster dressed in blue suddenly appeared before him! It looked no different from a human, except for a pair of antler-like horns growing from its head.

“I don’t believe it.”

Klinel instantly seized the members of the Han family and hurled them in different directions. He knew something about formations. Setting one up was no easy matter, and Klinel refused to believe that this place was enveloped by a formation.

Liyang was not far from Jiangning, and the journey could be completed by boat in a single day. Unfortunately, Wei Buzhou was in an exceptionally sociable mood. Whenever they passed a riverside dock, he ordered the boat to stop so that he could go ashore and explore. Song Zheng deliberately used Wei Buzhou’s identity as a cover and was in no hurry, accompanying him on his travels through various places. They even visited the banks of the Wu River, where the Overlord of Western Chu had taken his own life.

In truth, he was simply the one doing all the talking to Yuan Han. Perhaps Yuan Han was not listening at all, but it was still much better than before.

The vortex of flames grew even more powerful. Xiao Luo could no longer sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy outside; all he could feel was the scorching spiritual energy within the fiery vortex.

“Just stay here obediently!”

With that, Wen Qiyan pushed her aside and strode out.

What Wen Qiyan actually wanted to ask was whom Lin Xinyao had married. Was it Shi Heng, or Shan Xiyi?

“Let’s leave quickly!”

Lin Xinyao looked flustered and was even more afraid to look in any other direction.

Early that morning, Shan Xiyi got up and heard noises coming from the kitchen. When he went over to look, he was astonished to find Wen Qiyan cooking. A pampered young master cooking a meal—what a strange sight.
