Chapter 101

The man who had just entered stopped in front of the operating table, then squatted down with incredible speed while pulling the trigger of the weapon in his hand.

Examining the jade pendant carefully, Mu Zifeng confirmed it was indeed a protective treasure. With this pendant, no one below the Dao Origin stage could hope to harm Gongsun Fengjing.

At least, that was the feeling Guo Qing had at the moment. He had just landed and barely stood steady when the large servant appeared before him. While an ordinary person would need to take a dozen steps, the large servant covered the distance in just three or four.

This was what Wu Yong thought to himself after hearing Xiang Xiangna’s words, although the conversation between Wei Qiong and Xiang Xiangna was still ongoing.

Qiu Yuetong didn’t know why she had come to that man’s grave. There was an impulse in her heart telling her she must come, or she would forever regret it.

Several early-stage Qi cultivators recognized the person, their faces changing drastically. Their previous calmness was instantly replaced by awe.

He took out the items inside: several pieces of paper bearing different colored spell seals. The red one was half burned, indicating that an urgent event had occurred in the royal palace.

Chu Xi was equally displeased, gripping his sharp sword tightly. If the other party made any move, he would be the first to strike.

Could it be their advertising efforts today? Had the fact that more people knew about this inn led the ruler to enact this punitive incident?

The painting was a map of the Five Lakes and Four Seas, wrapped in a blue glowing light about ten feet long. It vividly depicted rivers, seas, and lakes, and faintly, one could hear the sound of flowing water.

“Eh, something’s wrong!” Chu Yang exclaimed in surprise. Only then did he sense something amiss, as if a ferocious beast was desperately charging in his direction.

Though he comforted himself with these thoughts, he could not suppress the vague worry in his heart. Exhausted, he entered Yan Luo City, intending to find a quiet place to heal his wounds before returning to the Blood Swallow Alliance to make plans.

The scene was chaotic. Cars were piled up in congestion, and many people got out to look at the gruesome accident ahead, shocked and whispering among themselves. Within a short time, all the newcomers had vanished without a trace.

Lin Yiyun sheathed his sword and raised an eyebrow at Long Yanhua. She had stood by the sidelines the whole time, showing no intention of intervening.

Gao Tian patted Li Haolong’s shoulder and said, “It’s good that you’re back. None of you have eaten yet, come on, let’s eat first.”

The surroundings were eerily quiet. Yet if one thought about it, Ye Gucheng and the others were nowhere to be found. Having suffered the corrosive pain of rotting flesh, his soul and spirit had long since fainted. How could he have known the passage of time?

The battlefield where the invincible warriors Guan and Zhang fought was where they desperately held the rear, allowing Zhao Yun to protect their leader’s retreat.

A bath scrub, huh? Heh, it’s just a bath scrub, what’s the big deal? I’ve even cleaned toilets before, so why fear a bath scrub? Wei Yang smiled faintly as she bent down and vigorously rubbed Ning Xiang’s back. If anyone had other tricks, they should just try them—their methods of tormenting her in recent days were well known.

On another front, it was strange that the American national forces caused no trouble. They had lost at least a thousand men, dozens of tanks, and several armed helicopters, yet had remained unusually silent these days. No one knew what they were up to.

“Exactly,” Qin Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. Since it had already become the focus, it no longer mattered.

Since Ye Jiu had not fallen below the first line, the status quo above the newcomers’ ranks remained unchanged, and no one could break through.

Those on the plane exchanged glances; some knew each other, others did not. They were all seeking opportunities to bring new prospects to their lives or businesses.

The five main departments within the Five Elements were his most united forces. All depended on their strength to resist. Warm and beautiful like immortal peaches, cool yet harboring hatred in their hearts, the soil element was divided and fragmented, yet within the Meiya Kingdom, disciples maintained high cohesion—something envied by the other four specialties.

Yet Sui Chuchu was about to rise to the top tier in the country. Even if the red carpet and dress trampling incident cost her half a notch, her pipa performance should have been on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala.

For the temple? For the court? Yet the temple and the court sent Sheng Hua, complicating the situation in Qin Town so much.

He was willing to overcome all difficulties to prevent her from suffering greater pain. He would keep his promise to care for her at any cost.

Having grown accustomed to this demeanor, Sasuke looked up indifferently toward the school gates. At that moment, Itachi smiled and looked toward him.

“Close call! Without prior preparation, today would have ended here,” Count Taranit exclaimed, amazed. After a night of fierce battle, he lost count of how many sword strikes he had made and felt his arms numb. Fortunately, they were prepared; otherwise, in such a deadly fight, no one would have escaped.

“They are here looking for us,” the sharp-eyed young man immediately recognized the banner of the newcomers and calmly ordered his men not to act rashly.

At that moment, Justinian and Princess Eudoxia were slightly startled and instinctively turned their heads. There, Anastasius, the grand duke who had been staying in the monastery, suddenly appeared behind them. Supported by a young monk and leaning on a cane inlaid with green truffles, the elderly man greeted them kindly.
