Chapter 26

Ye Lin's implication was clear: until he had clarified the situation, he would absolutely not set foot in the Shentu family estate.

Shen Zhong and Li Long had been keeping their eyes on Zhang Yi and his companions. Seeing the group laughing and chatting, they realized the danger had passed and hurriedly gathered the soldiers to walk over.

The three elders beside him all nodded, cold sneers playing on their lips. Feeling unwell? It was more likely he had gone to comfort that good-for-nothing son of his, Xiao Yan. However, they said nothing further; as elders, they still had to maintain a certain level of composure in public.

To their surprise, four ultra-luxurious tents had already been erected there, guarded by over a dozen burly men in sunglasses. Not far away stood a wooden cabin, from which thin wisps of smoke drifted, carrying an intoxicating aroma that had already begun to spread.

Magical treasures would only make them more greedy; even if these treasures were to cost them their lives, they would march forward without hesitation.

By the time the man in the blue shirt reacted, he was already vomiting uncontrollably. He tried to reach into his mouth to claw out the minced flesh, but the slovenly old man had stuffed it so full of meat and bone fragments that his cheeks were bulging, making it difficult for him to clear his mouth.

Having guessed the state of the Wang family, Su Jinyin sensed something amiss the moment she received the invitation from Lady Wang that night.

Gradually, everyone calmed down; after all, this was human nature, and there was no reason for anyone to object.

Leng Huaqing stayed by Xiao Jiuzhong’s side, sleeping soundly on the ground, as did Jin Wuzai, though he slept off to the side.

"I know, but I believe my husband will agree." Although Wang Yuyan said this, she was inwardly overjoyed, thinking to herself that her mother had been right after all. It turned out that Sister Yue did not truly understand her husband and did not realize that, in his eyes, these things were of no consequence at all.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhuo Yifan used his sword to circle behind the Bat-Dragon Beast. He swung both palms toward the sea, his palm wind lifting two massive waves into mid-air. With eyes wide and spiritual energy surging forth, he roared, "Triple Dragon Roar!" Explosions erupted in the sky as the seawater coalesced into two giant dragons: one of snow and one of water.

The green flower let out a series of chirps toward the other Lu snakes, perhaps in their own language. Seeing the green flower, the other Lu snakes seemed delighted and abandoned the fight.

True to expectation, the Korean man had quietly departed the next morning. It was unexpected that the Scorpio Sect and the Koreans would join forces; the plan to find the Azure Dragon Sword had fallen through. Seeing that the Sect Master of the Scorpio Sect did not seem intent on punishing Li Rou or Wu Yun, it appeared they had a more profound strategy in mind.

No sooner had the Lamp Wick finished speaking than a flash of golden light sparked from its fingertip. The Lamp Wick instantly transformed into a mist of white fog and was sucked into the crisscrossing grid. The old man then lifted the chessboard and shook it vigorously in the air, sending a beam of spiritual light soaring toward the heavens.

"If you pull it out like that, she will bleed to death," a carefree voice sounded from behind.

"Let go of me! You blockhead, you jerk!" Murong Qianxue resisted, her body trembling from time to time.

"What are you thinking about?" Liang Jing walked over to Zhuque. At this moment, he could not tell if this beauty was admiring his grand achievements or his vast empire.

"Father, in my view, we should deliberate on this further." Ling Anfeng truly had no other choice; he could only stall for time before secretly seeking out the Imperial Preceptor.

Shao Yiluo said indifferently, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." He brushed past Mi Ke, intending to walk straight ahead, but felt his sleeve being pulled forcefully. He turned back.

"Do you know why I summoned you here?" Seeing Ziyan dazed for a moment, Consort Liu paid it no mind and continued with her own words.

It was not until the escort convoy had passed through the North City Gate that the commoners, who had been kneeling for a long time, finally dispersed.

Rot: The Butcher releases the plague from within his body, dealing 110 points of damage per second to surrounding enemy units and to himself. It also reduces the movement speed of affected enemy units by 20%.

After holding him on the swing for a while and seeing that the time was right, they followed the original plan to go to the mall to buy clothes for Xigua.

Although Qin Wanyi knew nothing about the Gu family’s affairs, she was well aware that she and Gu Jiangzhou were merely a couple bound by a one-year contract.

Emperor Kangming saw that he was resisting the marriage, but he could not for the life of him understand why this son—who had always been clever, tactful, and accustomed to compromising and submitting—had suddenly turned rebellious to the point of risking his life to defy the union.

Ao Tianqi reluctantly let go of her hand, saying, "Who told you to defy me? If you had just let me pull you up properly, there wouldn't be any trouble!" Having said this, he ignored Nangong Yi'er rolling her eyes and went inside first.

In the car on the way back, Qin Wanyi suddenly thought of Fan Jingxiang. Although she still harbored reservations about her, her curiosity was even greater; she found herself increasingly eager to know where Fan Jingxiang was now and how Gu Jiangzhou had dealt with her.

Beizi still looked heavy-hearted. Shen Duo watched him, thinking that this fellow truly... wore all his emotions on his sleeve.

After Ximen Qing led Li Xu into the lobby, he temporarily stopped talking and pulled out a red bank card with a flourish for the beautiful cashier at the counter.
