Chapter 120: Trapped in the Mire
A chill crept over my face. I hadn’t expected that doing a good deed would be so difficult; the person opposite was no ordinary figure. The black-clad man I had driven off earlier and the hands before me shared a strikingly similar essence. Though those hands were powerful, the murderous aura they exuded was clear to me.
Feigning fear, I trembled in my voice and said…
“Yes, indeed. I trust reason above all else. I was going to follow reason and view the boss’s memories,” Dean said, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he looked into Zhan Sila’s eyes with a sly smile.
When Marshal Zhang Chaoyi received the news, everything had already concluded. Upon learning that the dragon beast demon had dared to launch a surprise attack, Zhang Chaoyi was incensed by their arrogance and decided that at dawn, the entire army would break camp and launch a full-scale offensive on multiple cities, making clear the price of opposing the official forces.
“I will find it too,” Left Wheel declared firmly. Seeing his resolve, everyone set out to search.
That night, none of them slept well; the worries in their hearts were theirs alone, with no one to share the burden.
“Ouch… damn, that really hurts… Why does this house I bumped into feel even harder than the one in the Thunder Tribe?” Gaia gritted his teeth, clutching his waist as he stood.
Guo Nianfei turned to look at Zhao Kun and Qi Wu, all of whom were drenched in sweat and visibly exhausted. Seeing Guo Nianfei approach, they lifted their aching legs and hurried over.
Yet, not all alchemists failed on this path. Some were gifted, able to successfully produce a batch of pills after only a few attempts, making the high cost of raw materials still worthwhile.
Only in this way could one withdraw millions at any time from the bank. Judging by their expressions, it seemed more likely that the man before them was a major client.
To seize the crucial western stronghold of Shule City, the Dragon Fiend King ordered the ancient great immortal Dragon Ancient Demon Lord to attack at all costs, ensuring that they would not cooperate with the pilgrims. When that time came, the dragon beast demons would find themselves in a dire, disadvantageous position.
Watching the scene outside the window, I couldn’t help but smile briefly before the expression faded.
Others might not understand Big Black Liu’s character, but as a native of the capital, Monkey knew some of Big Black Liu’s dark secrets. Moreover, her straightforward nature made her unwilling to engage with him at all.
“Grandmother?” Huo Shaoting looked up and saw her too. He held Chen Jinglan in great respect. After his mother’s passing, Chen Jinglan had cared for him for a long time, and their bond was special.
Sun Yunhai considered himself an exceptionally outstanding man—always graceful and successful. Now that Xu Lan had exposed this façade, Sun Yunhai’s face darkened, but he dared not lose control.
At this moment, doors one through eight were shrouded in darkness; evidently, someone had already entered.
Early in the morning, the streets bustled with pedestrians and diners. Every food stall was open, smoke billowed from chimneys, and voices rose and fell in lively chorus.
“Please, please, here you go,” the old man gasped suddenly, shivering as he spoke.
And there were quite a few—judging by the bulging pouch, forty? Fifty? It was hard to tell once dried.
Jiang Zhe knew that the large carp was likely the one he had spared last time. Judging by this, the creature had truly learned its lesson and no longer tricked others.
Her best friend had stolen the man she loved most while she was pregnant. Ye Qingrou refrained from rushing onto the stage to confront her, which was already remarkably restrained.
Having known Bai Ru for some time, Lin Yi still couldn’t figure out where Bai Ru and Jiasdao stood in their relationship.
Moreover, this person was important—only Jun Liuyan himself could meet her. That was why he had gone to such lengths to come. Otherwise, she truly didn’t know how to explain this matter.
