Volume 1, Chapter 42: Xiang Zhu Discovered While Disguised as a Maid of Jingren Palace

All around, countless pearls radiated a dazzling brilliance, casting colorful reflections upon the magic dragon and adding a touch of splendor to the grand hall.

The soldiers of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Corps were in a state of chaos; faced with the iron birds flying in the sky, not one of them could remain calm.

His words cast a shadow over Ling Xiao’s heart. Ling Xiao suddenly realized that Old Hei, who had once seemed so close, had suddenly become very distant. He had initially thought of him as a good friend, but looking at it now, Ling Xiao realized that treating him as such might have been too simplistic.

Jiang Yu’s voice was majestic as he stepped toward Jiao Kuanglong, his fighting spirit growing ever more intense.

However, while he could understand it, he himself no longer shared such feelings. Having frequented such places for so long, he had long since become accustomed to the peculiar environment of the Sacred Martial Planet and was no longer surprised by anything.

But just as his hand touched the Martial Stele, the entire monument erupted with a terrifying radiance. This light was like searing flame, instantly reducing Da Mang’s hand to ash.

These scenes began to align with the murals at the top of the corridor. Could so many corpses truly be intended as human sustenance for the evil Ghost Escape King?

Through countless lifetimes of wandering, he had never once looked back. Yet, this time, he walked back into the world that had suffered so much disaster because of his wrath.

Zeng Hua used this as an excuse to forcibly relocate hundreds of powerful clans and their thousands of family members from the six subordinate commanderies to Nanzheng in Hanzhong, the better to govern them closely, leaving only their kin and retainers to continue farming the old lands.

"Uncle Zhang is a hero of his generation, truly kind-hearted, to not take such things to heart at all..." Qing Feng sighed, gazing toward the horizon.

Prime Minister Ou looked at the scene and knew that the matter was more serious than he had imagined. Furthermore, what exactly did the Emperor mean? Was he trying to force his hand?

Zhaoqing, having spoken out of turn and caused trouble, hurriedly tried to make amends: "Look, look, now that it’s over, you don’t know him and he doesn’t know you; it was clearly a misunderstanding from start to finish." Lu Zhi waved his hand impatiently. "Bring me the sauce!" He refused to engage with Zhaoqing’s words.

Lu Zhi was deeply disappointed and tilted his head slightly to glance at Yan Jun: she did not understand the Chudihe language and was blinking in trepidation. Lu Zhi thought to himself that it was a pity she had slipped through the net again.

Yang Fei’er was inwardly thanking Yuanyuan over and over, thinking: Good sister, keep going, keep going.

Fina waited for a moment, and seeing that the tabby cat showed no signs of abnormality, she lowered her head to drink from her own basin of water.

This is the primary reason why alchemists, despite being as weak as a trussed chicken, are held in such high regard by all martial practitioners everywhere.

With every hair on his body standing on end, Li Qingyun gritted his teeth and took a fierce leap toward the summit, stepping onto the peak.

In the play, Anu witnessed the tangled emotions between Xiaoyao and Ling’er and asked Tang Yu what love was.

Having said this, Li Wen slipped away in a neurotic manner. Before leaving, she secretly gave Chen Hong a wink. Chen Hong felt somewhat awkward about this.

The second time was when she was invited by Huang Taiji to attend his wedding with Yu’er; that was the saddest wedding she had ever attended.

Yun Qi casually lifted the object, finding it quite heavy. He beckoned for Qi Ling to come and help, but was stopped directly by Master Chu, who walked away with a smile, leaving Yun Qi to follow along at a sluggish pace.

The road was the same as before, but because the snow had just melted and the grass had not yet grown, it was much easier to traverse than the last time they climbed the mountain.

Hearing the voices of Er Hei and the Crown Prince, Bi Lie felt a bit more sober and used his tail to wrap tightly around Cao Da’s neck.

Seeing this, Li Mo felt a jolt in his heart. It was clear that Tang San intended to ply Lin Xi with alcohol, planning to do something else once she was dead drunk.

Chen Fei got up early in the morning, as today was the opening day of Zhao Cheng’s shop. Zhao Cheng had told Chen Fei early on to come over and help out.

However, Yang Han disliked this kind of life; she felt as if her personal space were constantly being intruded upon. At this rate, she felt she would go crazy sooner or later. The constant flow of people and the heavy traffic left her feeling very much out of place.

Cao Da was in no mood to banter with them. Recalling what Sun Hao had done to him just moments ago, he worried that Yang Han might be in danger and hurried toward her company.

"Everyone eat, or it will get cold." Chen Fei quickly grabbed a skewer of lamb and began to eat.

Once inside, Brother Wang directed Chen Fei to drive the car into the courtyard. Brother Wang told Chen Fei to wait for a moment in the hall.

Old Xiong had already been in contact with Jun Ma. Having waited for a long time, he immediately produced a videotape and an audiotape upon seeing Lu Nan.

The latter smiled and said, "Because the sword I used in the past was of that standard pattern, just slightly wider, and without a false hilt." As he said this, he thought to himself that it seemed truly skilled assassins shared a common understanding of weaponry. Back then, Xiaoyao Heixin claimed the masterpiece was his work, and it was indeed true.

"The Soviet steel torrent will crush any obstacle!" Tukhachevsky retorted.

Clapping his hands twice, ten stunning beauties in transparent silk robes walked slowly into the room and began to dance gracefully in the open hall. Zhuo Hong raised his jade goblet repeatedly, slowly heating up the atmosphere.

"Fine, as long as the restaurant has it, you can order dragon meat if you want!" Lu Nan suppressed a laugh. Once the three had ordered, he called the waiter and asked for three beers and a soft drink.

"Do you really think you have any leverage to negotiate?" A faint smile touched his lips as Li Yu said this. If not for the stability of Handan City, Li Yu would not be wasting his breath here. It was just that the death squads from the various states were a persistent nuisance. If he were to launch a massive manhunt, it would be detrimental to the situation and give the other states an opportunity to exploit.
