Volume 1, Chapter 37: Night Raid

Hearing that Wang Xin would arrive in Yingzhou today, Wang Ergou even imposed martial law on the entire city. No one was allowed to leave, and the commoners who had already reached the barbican were driven back by the soldiers.

Before Feng Luochang could catch her breath, a powerful suction force pulled from behind; even though she dug her feet firmly into the ground, it was to no avail.

"Your Majesty..." Hearing these words from Lian Cheng, Di Mu could not help but throw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Yet, even with her loud weeping, her heart remained filled with waves of desolation.

"I understand. It’s fine, you may continue your watch." Jian Xinghao lowered his eyes, a gentle smile appearing beneath them. He slowly tightened his grip, clutching the medicine in his hands.

Even in his estimation, Ding Hao could at most rank around the four or five-hundredth place on the Hidden Dragon List; he dared not imagine a higher position.

"What did you just do to me?" Di Xi looked at Chang Meng with some surprise, hoping for an answer.

It was not until Zuo Lin arrived that he rushed in. Seeing Zuo Han inside, he was shocked and filled with disbelief as he looked toward Edith.

Ding Changyu sneered, his eyes narrowing into slits as he stared straight at the Chixiao Sword in Ding Hao’s hands.

About ten minutes later, under the tense and expectant gazes of the crowd, Tang Haoran withdrew his hand and said indifferently.

It was a pity she could not return to the Bi Kingdom; that was why Wang Xin had been allowed to linger on for so long. All the clues had gradually surfaced, but just as she intended to close the net, Di Jiang intervened, forcing her to come to Liuyue City.

As expected, not everything Yan Su said was true. At the very least, she did not believe for a moment that he had died during a difficult childbirth.

Arbok was not easily swapped out; instead, it continued to coil around the wooden raft, opening its mouth to spray a glob of acid, maintaining its long-range assault.

Before long, Zhang Fei, who was locked in a fierce battle with Cao Hong, retreated with the support of Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Liu Jinzhi began to wipe away her tears. She could never forget Old Wang. From the time he sacrificed himself until now, she had been supporting her parents-in-law, fulfilling the filial duties in his stead.

White-clad Lian Si watched her for a long time as she remained in a daze, eventually sighing helplessly, his heart aching with an indescribable pang.

By ten o'clock at night, the siblings had fallen asleep, but Kane lay on the sofa, still wide awake.

Luo Tong was speechless. He couldn't exactly say they were staring at a handsome man, could he? He wisely feigned ignorance and complimented the beautiful way Princess Changle was dressed.

"My lord, how do you intend to handle this imperial seal?" Princess Yaochi asked sternly. She had had enough fun; if she teased him any longer, Luo Tong would surely explode.

There was not a single bullet left in their chambers, and even their broadswords were severely worn. The middle-aged hunter leading the group had blades that were already notched in five or six places.

Embezzling six million taels of disaster relief funds, corruption, bribery, forcing confessions through torture, forcibly seizing other men's wives and concubines, and beating 159 commoners to death—these crimes, stacked one upon another, were so grave that dying a hundred times would not be enough to atone for them.

As for the Thousand-Blade Demon’s swordsmanship, Fu Zhongshan had previously encountered the demon's formation giant and dismantled it; it was not an exaggeration to say he had gained insight into the sword techniques within.

Kawabata Masakazu smiled knowingly after hearing Takeuchi Hiroshi’s words, as if he had met a soulmate. For a general and a commander, the greatest blessing was to have subordinates who understood their intentions. He looked at Takeuchi Hiroshi with gratification.

The chains binding Riko were turning gold at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, as the red faded away entirely, Riko opened her tightly closed eyes and revealed a smile as brilliant as usual.

If nothing went wrong, the other clones who, like it, wanted to deeply investigate the mysterious Mfsn society, had all perished in this place.

After Dai Li finished speaking, Shen Zui looked at him—a man who had announced Xiao Shan’s fate so dismissively—and felt only disappointment and anger. The man before him had become a thorough executioner, no longer the man he had once wished to follow. He stood up abruptly and looked at Dai Li with fury.

"Is anyone hurt? Damn it, you clumsy fools, watch your safety!" Old Long was already shouting at the top of his lungs.

Jiu Tian felt a cooling sensation on her face. Opening her eyes, she saw a stream of water washing over her.

At this moment, many people were staying in the reception hall, dressed in various outfits and scattered across different rooms. Clearly, they were the contestants for this year's academy tournament, and Kelly and Lie Yan were chatting with several team leaders.

Refining Dragon-Elephant Pills required ninety-nine types of medicinal herbs. The cost per batch was about fifty thousand taels of silver, and he could refine at most three batches... Most of the herbs were sufficient; refining a hundred batches would not be an issue, but there were a few key ingredients that only allowed Zhou An to refine three.

The journey to Five Immortals Valley was stop-and-go, taking three full days. During the day, Ge Lechangyu led Zuoyi to admire the enchanting scenery and beautiful landscapes. But every night, he would arrange for Zuoyi to sleep early, while he himself would only return in the small hours of the night. He was mysterious, and it was unknown what he was busy with.

"Yes!" Dozens of disciples in black immediately surged out from behind Xing Gang. Except for those who were seriously injured and sent to the medical department, the rest were escorted to the Hall of Law Enforcement.

At that time, Ao Mei did not understand. After conversing with this "Old Urchin" for a while, she learned that this man had also lived in the outside world, on the Tianyuan Continent.

A slap landed on Xia Muwan's face, yet her wrinkled skin only turned slightly red.

Behind him, as he took a step forward, Di Qingshue, who had been lying on the ground, finally showed a flicker of spirit in her eyes.

"Does Third Sister-in-law have a good strategy?" Yuchi Jing turned around. The young emperor, who should have been high-spirited and full of ambition, now wore a look of utter defeat.

You Lanmu held nothing back, the aura of his sixteen spiritual power cycles erupting to tightly suppress the opponent's wrist.

"That wasn't me, Changyu," she whispered in his ear, but he could hear nothing at all.
