Chapter 86 Save My Grandson

Without a word, Old Master Wang pushed his grandson aside and hurried over to me, dropping to his knees with a thud. Witnessing such a sincere gesture from the old gentleman left me somewhat embarrassed. Helpless, I could only reach out to grasp his arm, shaking my head repeatedly.

“You are a renowned figure in the southern city. Kneeling like this is truly against propriety…”

With that, Li Yi recounted the matter of time flowing backwards in the middle, as well as all that had occurred along the original timeline.

Once Cheng Li was seated, Qi Xuan smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you claimed you wouldn’t interfere, and yet, what is this now?”

A moment’s delay, and the Ghost Emperor would have ordered Qian Ze to personally eradicate the Mirror Pavilion and Dragon Hall.

Thus, Chief of Staff Yu ordered two mercenary brigades standing by as reserve forces, along with a cavalry division, to capture a large number of able-bodied Russians from the nearby towns to construct a dam and block the Suifen River.

Afterward, a tenth sun appeared within his body—this was the ultimate realm of the Nine Suns Divine Art, the Supreme Ten Suns.

At this moment, Qi Xuan approached, set the tea before the two of them, gave a respectful bow, and then withdrew behind Qing Qing. After Lu Shui drank his tea, he rose to take his leave. Qing Qing did not particularly urge him to stay.

As for Liu Mengli, when she saw Han Lingsha and Yun Tianhe—one wielding an immortal sword, the other casting the Five Spirits Immortal Arts—working together with such perfect coordination, her eyes could not help but reveal a trace of surprise, which was promptly noticed by Ye Fan.

“Thank you, Master Uncle. I’ll go at once.” Relying on Yan An’s memories, Zhou Chen was already well aware of Master Yu’s personality—a most endearing and stubborn old man.

Zhou Chen yanked off a thin white string from the bamboo tube; all that could be seen at the mouth was a wisp of black smoke, then a sudden flash of white light.

Seeing this, Qing Qing finally said, “Enough, I never intended to make things difficult for you. You will understand in time.”

Mu Qianxun paced back and forth in the room, arms folded across her chest, lashes lowered to hide her somber expression. If there were any chance for change, why would she—how could she not be attached to this land?

“It seems this Master of the Palace of Desire is quite interesting, actually planting so many of his people among us, yet we’ve barely noticed,” Ye Feng chuckled.

Deep in this forest, dangers abound. For someone at the stage of Essence Transformation, simply making it out alive would be quite an achievement.

“This slap is for…” Long Bing’s explanation was abruptly cut off when he realized Su Mingliang lay motionless on the ground. Just then, Li Ming also noticed something amiss, hurried over, and leaned in close to check Su Mingliang’s breathing.

Long Bing tried jumping again and found he felt unusually light, leaping much higher than before. Now his whole body felt wonderfully comfortable, as though he possessed limitless strength.

Xiao Shaohua figured that if there were a mirror before him right now, the expression reflected would surely be the very picture of embarrassment.

He groped his way forward, spending considerable effort without expecting to see anything. Yet, when he truly caught sight of that towering, several-men-high iron monster, its polished shell shimmering with silvery light under the white glow, the jet-black eyes glinting coldly with murderous intent—there was not a hint of white, only a deadly gleam.

At these words, the crowd could not help but look down on Mu Youchen a little—this Prince Ling lacked the boldness of Xiao Han. A true commander must inspire obedience in his troops, not spout empty words. Such talk only breeds a lax and undisciplined army.

On the field, another contestant threw a punch—the dust on the ground rose mysteriously, and those not caught in the blast were inexplicably sent flying, coughing up blood. Then the referee declared yet another victor.

Wang Dazhu and Jesse got out of the car at the restaurant entrance. I parked the vehicle beneath the rental apartment and returned upstairs.
