Chapter 21

"Fine! I will take you away first. Loosen the rope a bit; don't strangle him." Seeing that Qi Yang only wanted to tidy his hair, the man in black secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Kunpeng’s words were aimed at Zhunti, but while the speaker may have been unintentional, the listeners were sensitive. His remark implicated the Three Pure Ones and the others as well. It wasn't enough to deny Zhunti; by daring to deny the others, he had offended everyone.

Regarding the people sent by the Long family, Zhang You ultimately chose to endure it, dismissing them with five strings of coins each.

Upon hearing the sound, Qing Feng’s expression changed instantly. Through his dharma eyes, he saw the hands of the malevolent corpse inside the coffin already pressing against the lid.

By this time, Guo Shaoyang was drenched in a mixture of sweat and blood, yet he kept his lips pressed tight, refusing to give up or utter the words "I surrender."

If there was ever a day he wasn't fighting, it meant either Xiao Zhan had drugged him with a sedative, or he was off fighting while dragging Long Baobei along.

Qi Dian was discussing the acquisition of the Black Lotus Divine Lamp with the Eastern Envoy of Yixing, never expecting that Ling'er would come over.

Not long after, the village hunting team returned in high spirits. In their rattan basket lay the carcass of a weasel, pierced by a golden magic sword fashioned from copper coins.

Upstairs in the restaurant, the other diners looked on with disdain at the people at that table who were devouring their food like starving wolves. After ordering two more rounds of dishes, everyone finally leaned back against their chairs, patting their bellies in satisfaction. Lanlan, the only one who hadn't eaten much, was busy pouring hot water for the rest of the table.

However, the Martial Arts Sect was ruthless this time. They gave the disciples of the sages no opportunity at all. Aside from those who were not cultivating in their caves, all the rest were wiped out in a single stroke. It was a stinging slap to the faces of the Three Pure Ones and the two Western Sages, but unfortunately, those five were quite restrained, forcing themselves to suppress their disciples' rage and focus solely on seclusion.

Lin Huang smiled—a brilliant, radiant smile. He shifted his feet, evading the long blade that had struck first.

"Sorry, I suddenly got a bit hungry!" Zheng Jian rubbed his stomach, looking embarrassed.

Lin Huang held Ye Ruo gently, and after a moment of tenderness, he told her many things, including his plan to head to the Southern Wilderness.

Because you insisted on courting death, and the reward for helping you was not worth the price of my intervention.

In truth, he was also fretting over this matter. While everything he said previously was correct, he still lacked a breakthrough point to intervene in the Qingpu defense zone—someone who held sway there.

The only concern was the fear that those water zombies were being controlled by someone. If we were to deal with the water zombies only to have the mastermind jump out and cause trouble, it would be difficult to handle.

Only one kilometer remained. For a King Beast, such a distance was no different from being right in front of you. Qi Baijun frowned; he certainly couldn't win a fight, and bypassing it was clearly impossible. Reaching this point was a true dead end.

The Wolverine who once fought a hundred men alone no longer existed; all that remained was an old man waiting for death.

Some people couldn't help but feel nervous! They were individuals similar to the Sea King. Since Leng Yu had killed the Sea King, wouldn't he come for them next? How could they not be anxious?

Hearing this, Lin Huang thought that the Black Dragon Blade must want to do something within the Donghua Sect; after all, the blade understood the history of the sect.

He kept muttering to himself. Even now, he didn't know how his bookkeeper had found out about his affair with the Madame of the Marquis’s estate.

She didn't even know who that man was. She couldn't possibly give birth to a child with an unknown father, only for it to suffer the world's judgmental stares, just like she was treated with contempt and endured endless suffering and grievances everywhere she went.

"I am already aware of the matter you speak of." There was a hint of bitterness in Uncle Baohua's tone. If there had been a chance, how could he have wanted to see things reach this point?

But after only a moment, as if having adjusted his mood, he threw the scroll directly toward Si Zhuo.

Yi Zhonghai felt that he had initially established his prestige in Courtyard 95. Coupled with his tireless efforts, the moral standards of respecting the old and loving the young had been established in the courtyard, and the overall development and unity of the entire compound were looking bright.

Reaching the outside, Tie Mushi mounted his horse and galloped in the direction pointed out by Lishan, with the others following on horseback to pursue the direction of Chen Xian.

Wan Xiang spoke humbly, then continued walking toward the main peak of the Four Symbols Mountain, the Vermilion Bird Peak.

Their premature surrender undoubtedly put pressure on the other students, and the atmosphere in the classroom suddenly became tense.

Had his sect leader not flicked him away with a sleeve, he feared he would have been turned into a fool by the impact of the vast Daoist resonance.

This was truly like being screwed over by a dog. Not only did he fail to get the money, but he also had to pay out another five. Yan Jiecheng rubbed his empty stomach and, thinking back to the harrowing scene in the workshop that day, felt a deep chill in his heart.

The Crown Prince looked glorious in the eyes of outsiders, born different, but the pressure he faced was something ordinary people could never imagine.

Unfortunately, Lian had not anticipated that the enemy would not use violent means, but rather an incomparably despicable soft approach.
