Chapter 98: A Sudden Change in the Mine Shaft

The matter had clearly spread far and wide already. There was no way to contain it now. The only thing the nephew could hope for was that Cousin Rong would take to heart what he had said to him last night, and no matter who asked, would never admit that the death of Brother Zhen had anything to do with him.

As for the matter of the representative, Lei Ye did not say much more. After all, this kind of thing still needed the village chief’s final decision. He did, however, explain the duel performance to Dongfang Yunyang in careful detail.

The sweet pig lay on the ground just like a real pig, all four feet planted, its fat belly pressed against the earth. The grease had already vanished from it, sucked dry by the tree.

Though he had not met him many times, Shi Ding knew that Jia Cong was the man destined to inherit the title of the Rongguo Manor in the future.

There were three people in the group. Leading them was a middle-aged man in gray robes, his temples touched with white, his swordlike brows and star-bright eyes giving him an air of upright severity.

At that moment, a hunchbacked man appeared behind the counter, brushing his slick hair back with his hand.

Fortunately, this was an age of peace and prosperity. The common people feared the law of the realm, and a popular uprising was not something that could be stirred up so easily. Otherwise, Jia Cong might not have been able to sit so calmly on horseback right then.

A flash of gold light. The Supreme Mystic Divine Emperor Bell that Jiang Changan had invoked struck squarely upon the folding fan. The half-foot-long fan was instantly knocked back into Wei Wuliang’s hand, though several of its ribs had already snapped, and no one knew how many.

What came next was the stage of promotion. They had already arranged for a contingent of online hype troops, and asked how Zhang Wei’s video was coming along. Helping Zhang Wei was only an incidental matter anyway, and it would not cost much. As for his endorsement fee, they had set it very cheaply at only five thousand yuan a month.

With that, Crouch left Hogwarts in great haste, as though a pack of Dementors were chasing him from behind.

Palaces burned to a glittering ash; the imperial avenue was trampled until it ran with the bones of nobles and ministers. The regional warlords rose in arms for no other reason than that one tyrant, moved by his own caprice, killed wherever he pleased, leaving corpses strewn across the land.

At once, a surge of spiritual power poured into Han Lu’s body, and the method of the Breath-Guiding Art began to circulate on its own.

Because Yu Zhuo had never imagined that the person lying on the bed was not you. At the time, all his attention had been on the scratches and wounds. He had only taken a careful look to see that there were no injuries on your neck, chest, or arms, and had not examined your face in detail. Thus he had concluded that you were innocent, and left shortly after.

This was only the livestream viewership on the Mango Video platform; the live ratings of Southern Sky Television had not even been counted yet.

Every attribute, by quality, could be divided into inferior, middle, superior, and supreme ranks, with the highest grade being the heavenly spirit root.

She took out her phone and opened the Mango app to watch the livestream barrage of comments. Without the comments on the television screen, it always felt a little lacking. Besides, in a moment she would also be voting for her master in the livestream.

Now that she had lost, in theory, so long as Zhou Le was willing, he could make her do anything. What if his demands went too far?

Just then, several torches suddenly flared up around them. In the torchlight, Chen Xing saw Magistrate Li, Cong Xi, Yun Xian, Lan Chu, Yu Zhuo, and others walking toward them. After a brief moment of surprise, Chen Xing understood at once.

The cold mortuary exhaled frost. The dressing room, separated from it by only a wall, could catch some natural light, but it was not much warmer.

The age of information had already become a thing of the past. Now, whether one studied magic or martial arts, everything depended on the transmission of information. Why still record things in such an ancient way?

At that, she suddenly recalled the scene when she first met Xiao Chen. Now, it seemed there was another one.

If you are going to kill, of course you must destroy the body. Otherwise, with the world full of strange methods, there may well be some means by which severed limbs can be reborn and the body restored without a trace.

She also wanted to see what her homeland looked like, and besides, in order to awaken the full inheritance, she would need the assistance of her own kind nearby.

“Pity. You have grossly overestimated your own abilities. In front of me, I can extinguish that strand of divine sense of yours in a single exchange,” Ye Xuan said indifferently.

“Body refinement is nothing more than taking a person who already has consciousness and reducing him through bitter self-torment into a coarse barbarian who lives on blood and raw flesh. Look at those two beasts down below—where is there the slightest trace of human essence left in them?” Wu Daozi snorted coldly.

Tang Li had already worked out a perfect response, but she had not expected the other side to play by no rules at all. Instead of calling both of them in together, they had summoned Xiao Chen first.

She opened her eyes, pushed herself up, and then looked left and right. The faint furrow between her brows and the slight press of her lips made Ye Youran understand at once.

Her mother was something else too. Even if she wanted to find her sister, shouldn’t she at least wait until they could transform into human form before saying so? To throw them out like this, saying they were not allowed back unless they found her—was she not worried that they might get lost as well?

Qin Tian saw a shamelessly sleazy fellow appear before him. The man was especially filthy, with a layer of dandruff on his scalp so thick that Qin Tian nearly retched at first sight.

“What?!” Cao Yi was shocked, but seeing that Xilin Mingqi looked utterly composed, he did not seem to be lying. Indeed, there was no need to lie about such things; after all, once he got home, he would know everything.

Those words from the divine resounded like thunder from the ninth heaven. Not only Tai Xuan, but everyone present in the Sword Worship Manor heard them clearly.

However, when Zhang Fan controlled the hive and let it descend by the window, his eyes suddenly froze.

A more straightforward order of spicy grilled fish was brought to the table. When the fish arrived, one side was still sizzling over the charcoal fire beneath it, sending up an irresistible fragrance.

Another mass of orange-red flame appeared in the open ground. While the fire dragon had not yet dissipated, from above it looked as though the dragon were holding a massive fireball in its jaws.

“If any of you feel tired, you can all go upstairs to the gym to work out. There’s also a swimming pool up there,” Yi Tian said to the others.
