Chapter 76: Shall We Get a Room?

Wen Ni rolled her eyes in exasperation. She asked Ning Sui, “Did Zhang Zhe tell you this directly, face to face?”

Ning Sui shook her head and whispered, “No, I overheard Zhang Zhe chatting with his friends once, and that’s how I found out.”

“What exactly did he say? Can you repeat it to me?” Wen Ni pressed.

Ning Sui recalled the night before last. She had worked late and returned home hungry, not having eaten yet. Zhang Zhe had called, saying he was at a roadside stall with some friends.

The man, after hearing my question, looked troubled, as if reluctant to answer.

He lowered his voice and said, “This is the master of Jade Dragon Sect, Murong Yifang. You know Jade Dragon Sect, right? It’s the largest sect within a hundred miles of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.” As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up.

He Lianchun stood indifferent, maintaining his usual air of lazy nonchalance, his hands resting lightly in his pockets. When he looked up, his face was calm and composed. He wore a faint, detached smile, his eyes quietly drifting past Shen Jiangcheng’s shoulder to someone standing behind him.

Though it was early morning and not cold at all, Lü Bu felt a chill seep into his bones. It was no wonder — today was the day he would part from his beloved Diao Chan forever. He mulled over what he needed to say to Cao Cao again and again.

Just then, with a loud clang, the door flew open. Two executioners came in, gave a perfunctory bow, and announced in ringing tones, “By order of the Chancellor, we are here to escort the General on his final journey today.”

They had resisted surrendering to the court, rejected all offers to capitulate; there was no choice but to follow the path to the end, knowing full well it meant total annihilation.

In the silence, the man’s slender fingers gently brushed aside the hair from Su Lingge’s forehead, revealing a conspicuous fresh scar that immediately caught his eye.

“Wait, you said you’d give me a chance to atone for my sins—what do you mean by that?” Lin Xuan asked curiously.

Seeing that Yun Ying was losing to Su Yunyan, Rong’er stepped forward to help. She drew the Wave-Defying Sword Yun Ying had given her from her waist, and in a silent flash, closed in behind Su Yunyan.

The Martial Immortal Combat Fist was the first celestial-level battle skill Han Yun had ever learned; even its first stance alone had reached the pinnacle of earth-grade techniques.

To the mutant venomous python, Han Yun was utterly terrifying—especially that pitch-black cannon, which left Mo Qi trembling with fear.

After over a hundred rounds against Kong Xuan, his confidence only grew. He forged his path through myriad techniques, and in close combat, his eight arms and sixteen forms could wield all manner of magical arts and divine powers.

“If it’s revenge you want, then let it be you who ends their lives,” Chen Feng said coolly at that moment.

Danika said nothing more to Beryl’s reply, only nodded slightly to show she understood.

Aphra gave a soft chuckle and said, “Not just now—it’s never been easy to survive in this world. If you want to be above others, you must tread atop their corpses. Just like you.” Aphra’s words were sharp, her disdain for Naos’s hidden weakness plain.

Looking at the envious, jealous, and resentful comments below the post, Bai Luofeng smiled smugly, his mood soaring.

As for the building, it had to embody both grandeur and harmony with the earth, not rise abruptly and jarringly from the ground. Thus, its base would have to be expanded. If the height was doubled, the base must grow in proportion, preserving its beauty and symmetry.

“Felice doesn’t seem to have much of an appetite, so I’ll take her steak,” Danika said as she reached across and pulled the plate toward herself.

If Lu Zhenfei could really halt the Qing army’s advance, his stature at court would surely rise—something many officials were loath to see.

Answering Xing Yong’s call, several hundred rebels gathered, most of them hardened men accustomed to bloodshed, with more than a few who had killed with their own hands.
