Chapter 51
Just as the two of them had anticipated, it was indeed Zhang Yun. He stepped forward with steady paces, accompanied by his assistant, and walked into the conference room.
These three men were renowned figures in the City of Chaos, and the sum spent to invite them would certainly be no less than what was expended on He Dong and his two companions.
Master Xie spoke with utmost honesty. As soon as his words fell, Pockmarked Wang instantly defisted like a punctured ball, no longer mentioning the matter of helping Li Dong. Indeed, at present, he could not even get past the first mechanism, let alone speak of being able to assist Li Dong.
The two sides engaged in a chaotic melee for a full quarter of an hour. By this time, Huangfu Song had rushed over with a large force of imperial troops and joined the battle. Both the imperial soldiers and the Yellow Turban rebels were battle-crazed with bloodshot eyes, distinguishing friend from foe solely by their attire.
However, during that fleeting moment of illumination, due to the extreme haste, they had not seen clearly what kind of monster lurked behind those glowing red eyes. Yet, judging purely by its tongue, the creature must have been of massive proportions.
Qin Yingyue felt that there was actually no need to probe any further. Although these pugilistic folk appeared rather foolish on the surface, deep down they understood everything perfectly well. When it came to depth of worldly experience and craftiness, she was by no means inferior to Bo Xinlan. In fact, even Bo Xinlan was no match for her.
Wei Dongxue securely tied up Xu Jialuo and pulled a quilt over her, showing quite considerate care. He then drew the bed curtains to prevent others from seeing her. Just as he was about to go pay his respects to Murong Yan, he saw that Murong Yan had already pushed the door open and entered the room.
The flight paths of these bone spikes followed no rules whatsoever, and a considerable number of them were seen hurtling at high speed toward Captain Song and the others.
The two of them possessed extremely agile martial arts skills, dropping lightly from the city gate aided by ropes, after which they rolled on the ground for one revolution and concealed themselves within the darkness.
"The Second Brother and I are full brothers, why stand on such ceremony?" The Emperor said as he looked toward Rong Wanxi. "Wanxi... are you coming with us or not? Come along! Ever since you entered the palace, you haven't been to pay your respects to your maternal aunt. Let's go together and see if anything is lacking in her chambers," the Emperor said.
Mu Yunzhao did not know why seeing Zuo Qing's somewhat dejected appearance would make him feel exceptionally cheerful, as if all the vexation accumulated during those days at Breaking Array Ridge had vanished. Then, thinking that the emergence of someone who could be put to his own use under such circumstances was perhaps a joyful matter worth celebrating as well, he gave it no further thought and simply complied.

Grain Rain: grains thrive when nourished by rain. As the final solar term of spring arrived, the last trace of morning frost vanished completely without a trace.
"The Drunken Sword Immortal flatters me; this humble person is precisely the Hermit of Wang Mountain! Since matters have reached this point today, it would be better for both sides to take a step back! Let Heavenly Mystery Mountain relinquish the treasures, and my Demonic Sect will immediately withdraw, offering not the slightest obstruction!" The Hermit of Wang Mountain spoke calmly, seeming to have regained his usual composure and confident mastery of the situation.
Watching Shangguan Xue sleeping quietly and peacefully, the restless and burning heat in Xiao Xiong's heart slowly subsided.
At this moment, Ye Feng was completely dumbfounded. In his impression, although the Black Tide Gang had committed some disciplinary infractions, they would certainly never strike against the Paranormal Bureau, considering that the bureau represented the nation.
"No, you were practically the one commanding all the previous battles; I didn't really do anything and don't need any rest. You should go get some more sleep," Lieutenant Hunter shook his head, rejecting Zhang Cheng's suggestion.
"As the saying goes, the bustling of the world is all for profit, and the commotion of the world is all for the pursuit of gain! Sir has devoted your entire life to ritual and laws, using order to shepherd the world—may I ask what profit sir seeks by doing so?" Lu Ha smiled warmly as he finished speaking, then cupped his hands in a salute, awaiting Master Yushan's reply.
Mu Yunzhao's composed demeanor did not come as a surprise to Bai Ling; instead, he knew that such a reaction meant his master already understood how matters stood and had taken them to heart. However, unable to offer any further explanation at present, he could only obey instructions, board the carriage, and resume the journey.
When we arrived beside the coffin chamber, it was floating entirely suspended in mid-air, with nothing pulling or supporting it. I recalled having heard the sound of iron chains earlier, but it seemed that sound had not originated from this coffin.
Di Chongxiao had never believed he had fully fathomed the foundation of the Sea Drowning Ghost's divine soul. Seeing the bizarre divine skill, his vigilance surged greatly, and he integrated the recovery divine system into the Dragon Fang Sword.
Otherwise, if he were constantly interrupted by Shen Quan like this, he would never get to speak to Baby for the rest of his life, let alone manage to win her heart.
The security guard had seen Qin Yang before, and upon accepting the keys, he could only offer a bitter smile. He truly dared not say anything to the boss's son, but what on earth was the young master doing coming here for no reason?

Just as Xie Lili down here finished re-securing the room door and was about to head upstairs with Wang Yumeng, footsteps sounded from behind them.
At that time, her mind was a complete mess; anyway, she felt muddled, unsure of how it came about, but suddenly she had a very strong urge to do that particular thing.
Zhang Fei appeared extremely busy all morning. Although there were no battles, there were still many matters within the resort that required his attention, and he was also contemplating whether to relocate the headquarters to the city center.
Looking at Su Meng's innocent and adorable face, Ye Shengbei knitted his brows tightly and grabbed Su Meng by the arm.
Murong Shang slightly furrowed her brows. She was not completely without impression of what had happened last night, but she seemed unable to remember the whole thing?
Jing Pei felt a hint of self-mockery, thinking that since Hong Baobao had accepted the other person's ring, she had naturally agreed.
"Young Master Tianchen, Brother Shangguan, what brings you to see me?" Zhan Qiang walked in and said with a smile.
Upon learning that this song was written by Qiu Yunsong and had not yet been released, Qin Han immediately hatched an idea and implored him to sell the exclusive rights of the song to him.
