Chapter 64: Just a Play?

Emperor Xuanwu fell silent for quite a while upon hearing the news. He appeared far more composed than Yin Ling, and even remembered to instruct the imperial physicians to pay a visit, while also issuing an imperial decree exempting Prince Su from the morning court for ten days so that he could recover in peace.

He had originally intended for his son to pray for blessings simply to appease the Grand Princess, especially since he had assured her that the Censorate affair would not implicate the Zhang family. But as it turned out...

He had underestimated that son of his. Overnight, the Censorate had been uprooted and the Zhang family destroyed—an outcome he never anticipated and was powerless to stop even if he had wanted to.

During his description, Lin Ming occasionally placed heavy emphasis on the Hogyoku. Yet, observing Yoruichi's expression, which did not betray much surprise, Lin Ming could faintly deduce that Kisuke Urahara perhaps already knew Aizen Sosuke's true objective.

Fortunately, everyone had anticipated such a scenario beforehand and booked a hotel in advance, preventing their accommodation from becoming a major issue.

The moment the black coffin sprang open, a terrifying force of death surged outward like a torrential flood, and a corpse crawled up from within.

"Illusion Silver Dream Chant, Supreme, Lightning Glow Piercing the Sky!" Sakura Luo clenched his empty hand, curling his right fingers into a ring, and a three-zhang-long white radiance materialized in his palm. The light radiated a dangerous aura and emitted a faint, crackling sizzle.

Despite Old Zhang saying so, encouraged by Xu Hu's remarks, none of the other young men dared to casually address him as "Old Zhang," making them appear exceptionally well-behaved.

Consequently, with just a slight twist of Xinkong's Zen staff—before his fatal technique could be fully unleashed—Lin Canghai reached out and firmly intercepted it, clamping onto the staff like an iron vise.

Back then, Xiao Feng knew that had he not returned at that moment, or had news of his demise reached her first, his junior sister would have unquestionably followed him in death.

Chu Haotian's words snapped Chu Tianshuang and the others out of their astonishment, and they all perceived the killing intent radiating from the red dragon.

Zero, who had been dormant for quite some time, suddenly popped out. If not for the familiar tone of her voice, Jin Yuanbao would have been startled right out of his wits by her abrupt appearance.

Quite a few people had been unconvinced by Zhao Mu previously, but in a setting with hundreds of people present, no one was foolish enough to expose their dark side.

Recalling Qin Wenge's explosive temper in his past life, Qin Wenyu couldn't help shivering in fright. If he angered Qin Wenge, would the latter really tie him up and beat him?

"Do you have any idea that if it were anyone else, they might already be at the finance department collecting their final paycheck?" Fang Jidong said with helpless resignation.

This was something Yi Han and Lin Qingwan had painstakingly figured out over more than a month of stumbling in the dark.

Feng Qi took the cloth bag and gave it a gentle sniff; the interior was indeed filled with various medicinal herbs. The woman was still cradling quite a few more cloth bags in her arms, and Feng Qi noticed that her hands were scraped and her fingertips punctured with numerous needle holes. Had she taken a tumble along the way just because she was rushing to sew these cloth bags to hold the herbs?

"You told me to stay away from you—were you worried that if I touched you, I'd be inflicted with your Gu poison?" His action managed to warm my heart just a little.

Lin Tian was overly sentimental and loyal, making it difficult for him to act without looking back. He would be heavily restrained by defensive concerns, rendering him unable to concentrate his full strength on the offensive.

Shen Yuxi glanced in the mirror. His upper lip was red and swollen—such lips on his otherwise handsome face looked thoroughly out of place. Shen Yuxi almost burst out laughing, but remembering that she was currently angry, he deliberately put on a stern expression.

Before Duan Jianbi could speak again, he waved his hand, and Nuo Ermo and the others swarmed around him in a boisterous mob, escorting him away.

As the third style of battle concluded, a series of explosive shouts immediately echoed along the path as Han Haoran and the others rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

This cry thoroughly awakened Qin Wenge, the moralizing scum of a student. Qin Wenge felt a twinge of jealousy; Brother Wenyu had never uttered such a soul-stirring sigh for him.

At this juncture, the Blood Wolf truly perceived that Shen Feng was genuinely hesitating rather than toying with him like a cat playing with a mouse. Pondering for a moment, the doomed Blood Wolf turned around and began offering suggestions to Shen Feng instead.
