Chapter 99

The battle at the Floating Island marked the first encounter among Ye Zheng and the other two, leaving an indelible impression on all of them. Perhaps it was from that moment that Ye Zheng’s fate was sealed—he was destined for greatness.

Qing Wu tossed and turned restlessly in Xuanyuan Tingye’s arms, occasionally murmuring softly, as if blaming the weather for her discomfort.

At this time, the Turkic soldiers primarily engaged in guerrilla warfare, ill-prepared for a siege. But Tiemu’er reasoned that their target was merely a camp, not a fortified city like the original stronghold. Once the Turkic wolf cavalry charged, would the Han forces from the Central Plains not crumble immediately?

The banquet hall was nearly overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the single young men. Clan Leader Ryan watched the scene with satisfaction, though his eyes remained fixed on Jun Yan, who stood quietly to the side. Ada had disappeared somewhere, likely off showing off her beauty to her betrothed, leaving Jun Yan alone to handle the various greetings and pleasantries at the main venue.

“The prince is so thoughtful! I’ve been searching everywhere for this qin, only to find it with you,” she said with a sweet smile, her cheeks flushed like blooming flowers.

Whether his actions were to curry favor or to make the prisoner’s life more comfortable, she no longer cared to question. The most important thing was that now, she could temporarily be away from Lirad.

The entire space-time was saturated with various forces, tearing and colliding with one another in chaos, forming a natural protective barrier.

Suddenly, Qing Wu clung tightly to him. The faint scent he carried was indescribably pleasant; beneath his sturdy chest, the strong heartbeat made her feel grounded and real.

Such a treasure—whoever possessed it could surpass any dynasty. Thus, Fengyun Peak gathered a diverse array of people: martial artists, venerable masters, envoys from various courts—resulting in decades of chaos and turmoil atop the peak.

At night, Wu Hai returned to the military district. Gao Tiantian helped everyone tidy the rooms before retreating to her own.

Yet now, this future war god showed no sign of becoming one. She moved mechanically, relentlessly swinging the ancient sword in her hands as if performing a death dirge, set against the backdrop of the sunset and a foreground of corpses.

The son of the Lao Wang family, thinking his brother had arrived, stepped forward. But seeing no familiar faces and sensing their underworld demeanor, he retreated in fear, pale as death.

“She won’t live much longer,” the purple-haired girl said casually, as if discussing tonight’s dinner menu.

The atmosphere felt oppressive; no one dared speak, only the crisp clinking of teacups breaking the silence. Mu Ximei tried to hold back but eventually could not.

“Thank you, Brother Da Niu. Jia Ju and I have saved two hundred thousand together. Do you have any other instructions?” Scorpio asked.

Huan Luo was dazed, her back bleeding heavily from a claw wound. Unable to react swiftly, she plunged her sword into the earth for support. Dizzy and disoriented, she lifted her gaze just in time to see the sun slowly setting.

“That’s not how it works, silly girl. Every time I lift the seal, it means someone is going to die,” Li Da Niu said flatly.

“What’s the big deal? It’s just buying a computer. If you want one, then buy it,” Yang Lefan replied generously.

“Where exactly did you send Liang Yin?” Returning to the original topic, Huan Luo frowned and stared at Xia Kui.

“It seems there’s still a dark horse on the leaderboard. The semifinals and finals might be quite challenging,” Yuan Qiu interjected before leaning back in his chair to rest.

Gotti was horrified. As the opponent’s thigh slowly extended, he found himself retreating—his feet sinking into the mud, leaving two deep marks on the ground.

“Do you have your father’s number? Give it to me,” Mo Chi said to Mo Ran. It had been a long while since they last spoke; the old numbers had been canceled, so naturally, he needed the new phone contact.

With Susanoo combined with Bankai’s Senbonzakura, such methods allowed Ganna to rival Kaido arrogantly… The only weakness he had compared to the other was in his haki.

Better to find a safer place first, settle everyone, and then carefully plan.

Speaking of which, the aquatic clan was quite unlucky to be targeted by their own mother. Yet because of that bone relic, it was some sort of karmic retribution.

Hua Mingzhou walked away, glancing back as he said, “My surname is Hua, given name Mingzhou. You can still call me Old Master Hua; no need to keep nagging me!” With that, he left the gambling den.

When Can Can reached them and stopped, a young insectoid with black antennae stepped forward as their leader.

Perhaps due to mutation of the star beasts, they had walked for a long time without encountering a single one—unlike before, when they would meet many upon entering the forest.

Especially Han Lian, the Sword God, who was ranked 37th on the bounty list of the Southern Underworld Sword God Mansion. Several attempts were made to capture him, dispatching warriors of the seventh martial god rank, but he always escaped—truly formidable.

Nearby, a figure with a head full of silver hair sat cross-legged, as still as a stone statue, indifferent to Ling Feng’s arrival.

Amidst the earth-shattering roar, Ye Xuan was blasted backward by the backlash. Yet before he could fall half a meter, his figure mysteriously reappeared at the original spot.

Suddenly, the eyes of the White and Black Impermanence flashed sharply at the same moment, for on the surface of the Three-Life Stone, a sudden red dot appeared.

Especially now on Earth, with Sirius and his father guarding, nothing should pose a real threat.

The first thing unforgettable about her was not her flawless figure or perfect appearance, but the noble aura that emanated from her very bones.

Mo Kesan did not move, though he longed to leave immediately. Even a warrior like Johnny, stronger than himI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
