Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Offensive

Thunderous assault?

A flicker of dark irony flashed through Governor Li’s murky old eyes.

What a grand boast, Your Highness, the Prince of Qi!

Yet how, pray tell, with all the men you borrowed from the Lou family already sent away and only three or five personal guards left at your side, do you mean to launch such a thunderous assault?

Li had already received word from his secret informants: sixteen hundred troops had set out from the river camp and were driving straight for the water bandits’ lair.

After receiving the report, he

“Cut the nonsense. If you don’t let my grandfather ascend the throne today, none of you will leave this hall alive.” Zhang Kun’s voice had turned icily vicious.

Li Dan returned the paternity test to Yuan Lang, looking at the deep, tender concern in his eyes as she recalled what Ou You-song had said.

Only after those words were spoken did Su Mu understand what Shen Qi had meant when she spoke to her earlier.

They only needed to persuade the tyrant king of the Shang, Di Xin, to grant Shen Bao a post as Imperial Preceptor; that way, there would be no need for her to send him in directly and make the matter seem abrupt.

Yue Feng’an seemed not to notice the oddity in those around him. He merely pondered the words and sank into thought.

More than anything, it was being used—
or rather, finding something for a group of idle rogue ninjas to do.

For a moment, she very much wanted to tell him what her second sister had been thinking before, but after a moment’s consideration she swallowed the words back. Teacher Yang, after all, and her second sister were not of the same world.

When Luo Hou heard this, he first froze, then reluctantly nodded and withdrew the rings of fire from above the heads of the demons. Silently, he obediently stood off to the side.

“That’s truly wonderful. Aunt Qing’s hope rests with you now,” said He Qing’er. Hearing this, she was naturally overjoyed and could not help but pat her shoulder, her face bright with delight.

That cry rang out across the valley, echoing long and long among the peaks, and the soldiers of the Changlin Army nearly all laid down their weapons in unison.

Even so, with Chu Tian’s current physical condition, he could not withstand such immense power; otherwise he would burst apart, and even his soul would be obliterated.

“My goodness... it really is the Emperor of Great Zhou, it really is Zhou Xianyang!” Murong Qingsheng’s legs went weak, and he nearly dropped to the ground.

“If you’re bored, you can always go back and chat or have a meal with those old friends of yours...” Chu Hantian had not even finished speaking when he saw Leng Jianjia curiously walking toward him.

On the second page of three

Zhou Mengyuan was about to take the rice bowl when Qin’er set it directly on the heated table. Her clear eyes clouded over, and two lines of aggrieved tears spilled from her eyes.

A useless thing was, after all, a useless thing. The pleading look from earlier vanished in an instant; now that there was support behind her, she immediately began to throw her weight around again.

Holding her in his arms, Baili Liushuang suddenly felt that this nervousness of his was perhaps most unreasonable, and his hand slackened.

“Heh, Young Master Luo, why have you stopped?” Even Night White was a dead duck with a hard beak. If the other side came once more, he would have no choice but to take the blow head-on; as for what would become of him after that, even he did not know.

Xingrong Trading Company worked with great efficiency. The moment Fan Zhegu made his decision, Night White was greeted by two unwelcome guests.

“Fine. Then the exclusive broadcasting rights will be sold to East District Television. One day, eight million!” Fang Tangtang shot a meaningful glance at the East District television reporter.

A strange language came through the universal translator, somewhat resembling the Latin family of tongues, yet sounding ancient and obscure.

He replaced the broken spined-fin arrow shaft with a new one, then spent another three hundred units of gene energy to turn the remaining three spare shafts into arrows as well. He now had seven spined-fin arrows in total.

With Zhao Qingyue’s words from earlier, the one who had been grinning and joking a moment ago immediately tightened his expression, forcing himself into seriousness and propriety.

Then he thought of the divine intent essence he had refined into the bell. The hand he had raised finally trembled and lowered again.

Li Xun’s plan to wipe out all the prime beasts inevitably came to nothing. Since the prime beasts had fled, the headache that followed would be theirs; those escaped beasts would very likely draw even more of them.

The other three had also rushed up again. Standing high above, they looked down toward the place where dust and smoke were billowing.

Shen Jiajia only felt the skin on her back grow hot all at once, and then a fierce stream of warmth broke through flesh and blood and surged into her body.

“Senior Sister Chuxia, did you add three extra seats at the last minute?” the Wuyah guard asked anxiously.

“Are you certain it’s the three of Ye Xin?” Yan Hongyu asked, her brows deeply furrowed.

At once, Zheng Yiyi’s die-hard fans sprang into action, stirring up momentum beneath every trending topic, promoting the claim that Zheng Yiyi had been wronged and that the one who had actually plagiarized was Su Xi.

By then, Ye Xin had already finished cutting all the ingredients and had begun to cook. Before long, the fragrance had begun to spread everywhere.

“With that, we can relax!” The shotgun team member nodded, put away his weapon, and signaled the others to lower their guard as well. Then he turned his gaze toward the figure in the distance; between them, there was only a thousand meters left.

After that, the development and construction of the entire sect all centered on the great hall. It was not until a hundred years later, when that mighty cultivator’s coffin vanished, that every cultivator of that generation who knew the truth believed the people of that sect had witnessed everything.

“I’m not unwilling to pull myself together. I’m just truly exhausted...” Sun Yan said, hearing the Fox Hunter’s soft rebuke, and gave his head a faint shake.

He knew how troublesome Gordun’s mess was: five private planes of existence in all, and every one of them had only just opened into a viable situation, each now requiring troops and investment.

Feeling the ceaseless booming sounds overhead, everyone’s hearts could not help but grow uneasy.

What a joke. Even if the demons had laid a heaven-and-earth net, could an ordinary demon lord really stop Xiao Tie and the others?

A clamor erupted at once inside the fortress. Seeing the Allied Army’s formation, the dwarves all widened their eyes and then thrust their muskets through the firing ports.

“Yessir. His Majesty is setting out!” After rising, Eunuch Sun shouted loudly toward the front. The servants carrying the palanquin hurriedly cleared the way ahead, and Eunuch Sun followed close beside the Emperor, ready to receive any command at any moment.

A sound like ten thousand birds crying out at once rang through the woods, and lightning blazed in Kakashi’s hand. Uchiha Obito and Nohara Rin both revealed looks of shock.

Wan’er lowered her head, not sure whether this counted as returning a bow, and curtsied to Nalan Lan’er before standing to her left and lightly supporting her arm as they moved forward.

He was caught completely off guard by the word death that suddenly slipped from her lips. He bent his middle finger and brought it beneath her nostrils, hurriedly checking for breath.

Gradually, her consciousness grew ever more blurred. By the time she realized what was happening, she had already fallen to the ground.

By one in the second half of the night, the main force had already advanced into central Taiwan. The Japanese troops there, upon seeing the great army outside, had long since lost the courage to resist and immediately surrendered.

That was not difficult at all; all Moonli had to do was smile faintly at the security guard. The old man was instantly dazzled into a daze and obediently let Moonli and the others inside.

Qi Junqing curved his lips slightly and nodded at the person. After that, he boarded his carriage together with Qi Shutian.

Moonli disgustedly shoved his hand away. Usually when the little ones dyed their hair like this, it looked quite good, so why did it look like a chicken nest on them?

And Asu’s remark that it was “too slow” was not meant as mockery of the purple-robed Daoist at all, but simply a statement of fact.
