Chapter 62: Chi Yi
When Murong Yan left, Xie Zhiyun finally emerged from the side. He hadn’t dared make a sound before, but now that he saw the man had gone far enough, he spoke up.
“Why does it feel like the Ninth Prince is acting strange?”
Lu Qingqing, having accepted the favor, felt obliged to report this to Shen Jin. However, she wasn’t inclined to do so just yet—she wanted to wait until her injured hand had healed a bit.
...
This was hardly a long-term solution. So he decided to seek out Hua Feixue at the Palace of Eternal Joy in Han Weiyang, hoping to connect with Master He, the grand magician of ancient illusions, and resolve the matter of the mechanical ring.
The rest could be dealt with in time, but the Ghosts—this mysterious team—piqued his curiosity above all. After a detailed conversation, Zhao Han found himself even more envious.
After some thought, Zhao Han pulled out two long towels and wrapped them tightly around himself. Though he looked a bit odd, like someone just out of the bath, he had never felt so secure.
He let out a roar, as if trying to vent all his pent-up grief and rage, not caring if he strained his voice. Even the guards stationed on the outskirts heard him and stood there in stunned silence.
“If this is all the strength you possess, then your life ends here. Remember, a year from today will mark the anniversary of your death.” As the man spoke, he swung his long blade, unleashing a flurry of shimmering sword shadows.
Ah Shui leapt up, spun around, and raised his spear—a movement as fluid as a jump shot on the court, so graceful it was a pleasure to behold.
“What’s wrong, Sister Zhang? What happened?” Xu Rouhui hurried over, her eyes full of concern.
Earlier, when Liu Erqiang’s men came by, he’d slipped one of them a hundred yuan and managed to glean some information.
His godfather broke the ice, introducing the three young people to each other. Only then did Fu Lanjun realize they were all from the same hometown. The Gu family were wealthy merchants back home, and both the Gu and Nan families had old ties with her godfather, hence this visit.
Deng Yu and Wang Hui retreated westward, and Shangrao was nearly deserted, with fewer than a thousand soldiers left to hold it. However, in the plan, She Feixiong was to bring his troops to temporarily garrison the city, so food reserves remained sufficient.
With this in mind, Wu Zhengxie and the Mad Emperor drank even more recklessly. In the Mad Emperor’s eyes, Wu Zhengxie’s abilities were mediocre at best—put bluntly, the Mad Emperor could crush this “Grand Emperor’s apprentice” with a single finger.
Despite these words, Zhou Jiahao couldn’t help but worry. He cautiously extended his spiritual sense into the depths of the cave. Suddenly, a powerful force devoured his senses. Startled, Zhou Jiahao froze, eyes wide with disbelief—how could this be?
After a moment of sighing, Link spoke helplessly. Anyone would find such a situation a headache.
Li Yundong had already made two plans. If the enemy broke through the formation, he would launch a fierce and ruthless assault on the unsuspecting phantoms and voidwalkers. At the same time, he was prepared to forcibly break the formation himself, to prevent Su Chan’s desperate struggle from causing him irreversible harm.
For the vast majority of people in the Six Regions World, October was just another month—nothing special. Life moved on with the same quiet repetition.
Who would have thought, just as her worries had begun to ease, Prince Yong would pull such a bizarre stunt today? Looking at what was in her hand, she felt an ominous premonition.
Paigu and Xu Dazhuang were just ordinary men, their bodies too frail to withstand even the slightest surge of primordial energy.
Though Long Aotian’s words made sense, Brucci still feared their plan might be sabotaged.
Unlike the endless debates of others, Tang Ming had already made up his mind ever since Gu Ming’s triumphant performance at the overseas appraisal convention. He wanted Gu Ming to endorse their newly launched product.
Once the group left, Gu Ting quietly slipped out of the hotel to ask around among the upper echelons of Shen City, trying to find out where the latest celebrity banquet would be held.
