Chapter 103: The Hidden Soldier
Vice Commander Wang sensed a profound aura of death beneath Qin Xiao’s calm expression.
His Majesty had slain so many; as a mere vice commander, Wang didn’t dare to take it lightly.
When the order came, the executions were carried out without hesitation.
Fear gripped Vice Commander Wang, and his mind raced, desperately searching for any shred of news that might save his life.
After a moment,
“Your Majesty—”
“No, my brother was just talking nonsense,” Qiao Rou said as she sat down, avoiding Tang Yi’s gaze. Her heart pounded rapidly, her cheeks flushed all the way to her ears. Remembering what Qiao Man had said earlier, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
There was no denying that now, with the Qingyang Princess having shed her ornate attire and donned a practical outfit, her demeanor transformed dramatically. Her exquisitely curved figure was suddenly more pronounced, catching everyone's eye.
Gongye Haomiao wiped the sweat from his brow upon hearing this. He hadn’t realized that the celestial tribulation could even call down thunder upon someone twice. Yet, he didn’t press further, knowing full well that even if he did, Yueye wouldn’t reveal the truth. Such matters, he believed, would only become clear when his own power grew sufficiently strong.
“Thank you, Master, for this generous gift! I shall strive diligently to transform myself and live up to your expectations!” Wu Tian cupped the jade bottle containing the I Ching Pill in both hands and bowed deeply to the Ox Lantern, tears of gratitude welling in his eyes.
Ye Qingcheng launched another fierce assault, but still, nothing emerged from her mouth; all she felt was an unbearable itch deep in her throat.
Who knew how deep it truly was? Qin Yang could only take out the Soul Powder. His teacher had said it might help, so he had to try. Earlier, he hadn’t used it because he hadn’t found the Punishment Stele yet. Subconsciously, he believed one should first locate the object before using the Soul Powder to claim it.
Thirty elite warriors sprang into action, removing the ropes from their waists and beginning to secure fixed points, then tossing the ropes over the cliff’s sheer face below.
Continuing the battle would only end in Tang Yi’s death; everyone accepted this as inevitable.
As the two words left his mouth, the man in white instantly felt a tremendous force resist him, rendering his raised fist unable to strike down.
Shangguan Fei shot a glare at Shangguan Yun, as if to say, “If you dare speak, I’ll tell Grandpa you’re fighting outside.” Then she turned and chatted idly with Fang Yuqing.
In a panic, he grabbed a stick to fight back, only to realize that the girl, for some unknown reason, refused to wield any weapons. Not even the dagger at her waist was drawn.
Song Lingxi frowned, but before he could speak, a messenger arrived, reporting on Shen Yunfan’s efforts to rally the people’s hearts and his current speech at the capital’s grand prison.
Though grievances and debts were unsightly, they symbolized both injustice and punishment, often granting longevity. People with such fates were tough and not easily killed.
If these two ancient corpses really provoked disaster, then even if she returned inland, no good outcome awaited her.
Lin Yi made a round of purchases—camera, lenses, and various accessories—spending over a hundred thousand on just the items he fancied at first glance.
Indeed, after receiving information from Fan Ma, it was clear: ninjas without immortal arts or spatial ninjutsu were more of a burden than a help when facing the Ōtsutsuki clan.
No sooner had she finished speaking than a piercing, earth-shaking cry soared from the mountaintop. Black flames swept across the sky like a storm, engulfing everything.
“Heh heh, with jade and stone breaking gold to protect the wrist, and the spirit-accumulating talisman replenishing magic, let’s see how long you can hold out!” Yang Han’s eyes blazed with excitement as he clashed violently, nearly mad with fury, against Gao Bang.
I noticed her second toes on both feet were unusually long, making it impossible to wear the longevity shoes properly. Those two toes hooked onto the shoes like claws.
