Chapter Ninety-Four: Who, in the End, Is the Real Target?

After Qing'er arrived in eunuch attire, Qin Xiao stepped down directly from the high platform.

“Were you all frightened, my lords? I am very curious: was this an accident, or was it deliberate?” As he spoke, Qin Xiao had already come to Tang Sicheng’s side.

“Minister Tang, you weren’t frightened, were you?” Qin Xiao’s voice carried an unmistakable undertone.

Facing the killing move already before him, Luo Feng’s bloodthirsty eyes trembled. The bloodline of the imperial clan seemed to sense the intensity of his will and suddenly gave rise to some mysterious fluctuation.

He knew Tang Yan was thin-skinned; it would be difficult to have her come to his residence of her own accord. But with Zhang Lijuan and Qiao Xiaohong accompanying her, her visit would be perfectly natural.

In any case, they were all descendants of the same race. To hand the places he could not rule over to members of his own people was perhaps not such a bad idea.

“Su Mou’s Earth Bear is not merely a crystal beast companion. As far as I know, Su Mou and his Earth Bear can also perform a combined technique.” Mu Yu and Lin Xiao retreated swiftly at once, yet the dense forest of black spikes before them brought them no sense of safety at all.

Gui Qiaoqiao watched helplessly as those imperial guards fought bravely with the assassins, anxious and frightened, tears trembling in her eyes.

Uehara Yui knew that she had not truly left, only entered a state invisible to ordinary people.

After entering the factory, Yang Shaofeng also saw that the office building had only just been renovated, with all sorts of construction debris piled everywhere. The workshop building was empty as well, and the dormitory building held nothing at all.

The original owner had deliberately juggled three men because she did not want to marry any of them. Using false names and false identities, she had hooked them all, driving the three brothers to turn on one another, and in the end none of them could be married off.

Though Guo You did not know why, I understood clearly that this was very likely Yang Shang beginning to make a move against me.

“Of course, of course you can! After all, we’re good friends!!!” The monkey grinned brightly. He knew this technique would be of great use to both friends, so he was willing to teach it at no cost.

Looking up, he saw Dongfang Han sitting at the neighboring table. When Qin Zhijie smiled and nodded in greeting, Master Qingxiao gave a cold snort, and Qin Zhijie had no choice but to pretend he had not noticed.

Every “true word” carried immense power and could draw upon the source force of the original world.

Keeping the front line within three hundred paces would allow the cannonballs to unleash their greatest power. Together with archers whose range was one hundred and fifty paces, and iron-shell thunderbolts hurled by hand, they could form a cross-covering net of fire capable of inflicting massive casualties on the concentrated Yuan forces.

The burly men burst into laughter. Yue Shen flushed scarlet, wishing he could crawl into a crack in the earth, and looked helplessly at Qin Zhijie. Qin Zhijie was furious and stepped forward to argue with the men.

The meteor had fallen in a mountainous region. Xio’s staff had already arrived and sealed off the entire area in advance.

Zheng Shuyi only felt her body growing hot, her head light and dizzy, weakness washing over her in waves. The surging vertigo struck her nerves like a great bronze bell, ringing beside her ears until she nearly drifted into sleep.

Master Qingxiao said, “My stomach is upset too. I’ll accompany you.” Qin Zhijie shook her head, both exasperated and amused, and also anxious.

The Yuan army returned in utter defeat like stray dogs. Arihaiya was trampled into a pulp beneath the hooves of the chaos-stricken troops, and A Shu was smashed into meat paste by iron shells. Two of the three great pillars of the Yuan army fell at once, while Bayan was left gravely ill and unable to command the remaining forces.

On the big screen, one piece of information and footage after another flashed by, all of it concerning the strange phenomena in Meize City.

Xiang nodded. Before Arisa could speak, he took her hand and turned to leave. Arisa still hesitated a little, as though worried about whether Ye Yuan would be in danger if left behind, but she too was pulled away by Xiang and vanished from Ye Yuan’s sight.
