Chapter 44: Sowing Discord

As Lu Jinyan's words fell, all the strength seemed to drain from A Li's body in an instant. She staggered, nearly unable to stand. Fortunately, Lu Jinyan had been on his guard and held her up, preventing her from collapsing to the ground.

Tears rolled down A Li's cheeks at once. She stared fixedly at Lu Jinyan, still unwilling to accept reality...

Even Mingyue and the others felt uneasy upon hearing this. The mysterious person's hatred was evidently directed at everyone on Azure Star. As natives of Azure Star themselves, even if ignorant of the facts, they were now considered accomplices to the crime.

Ye Ren took a deep breath. Each time he used the resurrection card, all the muscles in his body would tense, and his breath would catch. To be honest, in this leader's eyes, my Tianlong Sect's disciples are far more valuable than your second young master.

So later on, Bai Murong simply stopped asking—let things be as they may. After all, she never believed the two of them were legally married, so there was no need to deceive herself.

The monk Jingwu, who had rushed to the rescue, paused in confusion—he couldn't fathom what Lin Tianci's loud shout was supposed to mean.

On the Chen family’s side, three Transcendence Realm experts remained. Though not as powerful as Tian Qi, Mo Yunhan, or Langshan Xiu, they served as a restraint, preventing the trio from breaking free for the time being.

Next time, perhaps she could ask Cheng Huayi and consult the principles by which players entered this world—maybe there was a way out.

A peal of laughter burst out—"Well done!" Miao Buxing roared, blocking Ling Yi's attack and launching his own counterattack. The two became locked in a fierce struggle.

Huang Deming's men opened fire rapidly, bullets striking the rocks where Li Yu and Long Yan were hiding.

"I didn't—" Zhu Qing took a step back, shrinking away as she shook her head. "Panpan, how could you say that about me? After all I've done to help you. Yesterday I almost got into a fight with Chi Yue because of you..." She rolled up her sleeve to show Lin Pan the bruises and finger marks on her arm.

Governor Sui recalled that some nobles in Western Liang, who admired great physical prowess, would have the head of a bear tattooed on their backs.

"This is the final trial," Xi Yucheng nodded, glancing at the people from Sacred Heaven Sect and Azure Dragon Sect. It seemed they were communicating telepathically.

"You drive this car. Give me your van, I'll take that," Su Wanqi said stubbornly.

If the masked man chose not to flee and faced him head-on instead, defeat within ten rounds was inevitable.

"What else can we do?" Rolling his eyes, Huangpu Rui couldn't help but look at his imperial brother with exasperation, as if questioning whether being emperor had dulled his mind.

That cry of "Brother Shiyu" sent Lu Shiyu into a frenzy. Excited, he became even more demanding, utterly ignoring her tearful pleas for mercy, intent only on taking more from her.

If someone took the opportunity to target the Lu family, with her abilities she could never support such a vast enterprise alone.

With a final, anguished howl, the enormous Wolf King collapsed unwillingly, its wide eyes fixed on Tu Yujing in disbelief—never expecting to fall here, never expecting to be slain by Tu Yujing.

Some of those present had eaten at Yuechu's noodle stall before and had seen Xu Jiao helping out there. Xu Jiao had previously hinted that the stall was a joint venture between her and Yuechu, so no one doubted her words.

See—Shen Xin interrupted before she could finish. She didn’t want everyone to think she was delicate, nor did she wish to lag behind. Whatever she set out to do, she would do her best—this time was no different. Tightening her grip on her bow, she glanced at the arrows behind her, and her heart grew steadier.

For now, Wang Menglong had no better way to threaten them and had to let it go—after all, the matter at hand was of utmost importance.

Still, he was quick on the uptake. After a moment’s pause, he hurried to close the door and waited outside with the server carrying the dishes.
