Chapter 129: Find a Fool to Take the First Risk

Zhou Jingyi pushed Wen Ni forward as they walked. Wen Ni kept looking back, saying to Ximen Zhengli, "We had such a wonderful conversation. I will invite you another day so we can continue our talk."

Ximen Zhengli replied, "No problem, I will look forward to your invitation."

Wen Ni had already stepped out of the room, still calling out her agreement in a loud voice until Zhou Jingyi led her away.

Consequently, the believers felt not the slightest resistance; instead, they became even more supportive of Rhode, their devotion escalating from fervor to the point of madness.

"First, the Dark Night Palace provoked me! Second, the reason you didn’t provoke me at the Secret Treasury of Heaven Beyond Heaven was because I was strong enough to intimidate you. Dare you say that before you arrived at the Secret Treasury, the Lord of Dark Night didn't specifically instruct you to deal with me if you encountered me?" Jiang Tian’s eyes were bright and piercing, capable of seeing through the secrets of the human heart.

As the rhythm of the sacred hymn reached its most surging crescendo, Rhode arrived at the step just below the top of the high platform, with Aldebaran and Aiolos standing guard on either side.

"Shouldn't we be saying that this truly suits the combat style of a mercenary?" Aike replied with a cryptic smile.

Once our Great Zhou grows stronger, which of the surrounding barbarians would dare to slight us? Even an ordinary citizen of the Great Zhou would be treated with respect when traveling to other nations.

In an instant, streaks of red blood floated to the surface of the waterspout. Within the mirage, the sacrificial leader, who had been leaping continuously, ceased her movements. She looked up toward the "heavens," a sharp spike suddenly appearing in her hand.

Upon hearing the words of Kunwu Lunhui, his heart leapt into his throat. He truly did not know how keen the senses of the Chaos Heavenly Venerate were, but judging by those words, the Venerable one likely had an inkling—after all, they were in close proximity, though he had not yet discovered him.

Yun Cheng just sat there quietly, gazing at the horizon from time to time. He rolled down the car window, took a deep drag from his cigarette, and flicked the butt with precision into a nearby public trash can.

"Senior, do you know the location of the Yin-Yang Twin Swords forged by my parents?" Cang Yun asked.

Just as that dash of powder completely dissipated among the bandits, those who had been organized and disciplined, following their leader’s every command, suddenly grew restless. Their eyes turned bloodshot as they began to scramble for the purple gold on the ground, simultaneously turning their blades against their former brothers.

Nan Xiangxuanmiao left the private room immediately, and upon seeing this, the Master of the Qingya Temple quickly took his leave as well.

Empress Dowager An could no longer turn a deaf ear. The Emperor forbade her from interfering in state affairs, nor did he allow her to turn the inner palace into a chaotic mess. If this matter were to be escalated, and with no Empress present, Empress Dowager An would be the first to bear the consequences.

Once she entered the coverage of the thunderclouds, Leng Youran finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was, at the very least, her home turf. While she might not be able to defeat Wu Daozi, it would be difficult for the other disciples of the Dragon Soul Palace to get the better of her now.

"If you have the skill, come and catch me! As for wanting me to surrender, forget it!" Li Xu roared, charging once again toward the Director of the World Bureau.

I didn't continue to pay him any mind and turned to walk away. I had expected our homeroom teacher, Baldy, to come out and urge me to stop or say a few words to me, but he didn't. I suppose he really couldn't stand the sight of me anymore.

Qing Yue found a solution through divination in a flash, taking no more than a few minutes. If that kind of speed doesn't count as brilliance, what does?

Privately, although Ling Tiancheng found it detestable that he was so close to Zhuang Siyan, he wouldn't hold a grudge against him solely for that reason.

Thinking this, Yu Qiuyu offered a few words of comfort to Yu Yifan, then turned and walked into the kitchen to busy himself.

He opened the bedroom door, walked into the living room, and poured two glasses of red wine. He sat on the sofa holding one, his eyes fixed toward the direction of the bathroom.

Whether in the past or the present, Alexstrasza’s authority was enough to command awe and reverence from all the other Dragon Aspects.
