Volume One, Chapter 139: The Man in Military Uniform at the Banquet

He turned his head slightly aside and spoke as though he were angry. The expression on his face made him look exactly like a sulking child, as if he were terribly unhappy.

Li Ruochu’s brows knitted tightly as she looked at Feng Yizhou helplessly.

I guessed that perhaps he had grown a little anxious waiting for me, or perhaps the Guangdong fellow had suddenly discovered some major problem with the renovations and hurriedly called the workers back. In any case, it looked as though the group were conversing, but I could make out nothing more.

Back then, Cangqiu Zi had colluded with Duanmu Yao and been gravely wounded by Long Feiye before being thrown into the dungeon. He had never been convicted, precisely because once Cangqiu Zi took the blame, the old man of the Sword Sect would also have to investigate Han Yunxi’s identity as the successor of the Poison Sect.

“What do you know? Damn it, if I were poisoned to death, who would I even be able to complain to?” I turned my face toward the person standing there.

Han Bin had no desire to waste any more words on Ancestor Xuanqing. In a deep voice, he said, “Old man, if you have no more impressive divine abilities, you can die now...” As soon as he finished speaking, an immense aura burst from his body. Its strength was unimaginable—an energy no Foundation Establishment cultivator could possibly release.

The youth lay curled up there, his black hair falling loosely around him. His skin was as pure white as snow, devoid of even the slightest trace of life.

In principle, once either side surrendered during a match, the other party had to stop attacking. But because there were simply too many uncontrollable factors, the underground arena declared that all combatants were responsible for their own life and death on the dueling platform, and that it would bear no responsibility for any accidents.

This was truly a case of fearing comparison. Bai Kai stood beside Wan Jinrong, doing all the work I used to do.

In the many conversations that followed, Du Xifeng pestered Old Du about Mei Wan and all sorts of matters concerning her. Unfortunately, Mei Wan began growing busy around that time, and Old Du had already told him nearly everything he knew.

“I was just thinking that if there are actually people this beautiful in the world, then I’ve truly wasted my life before now,” Chen Shou said with a grin.

The Shen family watched Hou Kai warily. They were deeply afraid that he would seize the opportunity to retaliate against them, so they all refused him at once.

“I brought this suit back for my dog to wear. Do you have a problem with that?” He Junxuan countered.

Duke Pankrala kicked the table in front of him, sending it crashing to the floor. “Big brother, the throne should have been mine in the first place.

Liao general He Hu had been tortured until he was barely recognizable. He was certain that the officials of Bianliang were behind it, but he bitterly lacked evidence.

In fact, Ye Xinghe had already heard a rough part of their conversation from outside the door, though not all of it. Luan Yue and the others exchanged glances. Hong Yuan sighed and recounted their entire discussion to Ye Xinghe. They had expected him to object, but contrary to their expectations, Ye Xinghe merely nodded.

Li Lingfeng sat beside the bed and gently stroked the thin quilt covering him. A sweet smile spread across her lips.

There was no harm in giving up this life-and-death token. After all, the Yun family was still the foremost clan in Yanjing, flourishing like the sun at midday, and the Murong family was no match for them.

The Three Pure Ones’ Qi Arrow Technique creates arrows from rank power. Its attack range is one hundred meters, and its offensive strength depends on the amount of rank power consumed. It originated with Liang Pengzi.

“If you had not lost your way, I would not have needed to do this,” Ding Jingxi said indifferently. Sensing flames burning in from nearby, he waved his hand. A stream of water vapor rose of its own accord and slowly extinguished them.

Zhang Yue was utterly stunned. No matter how hard he tried, he could never have imagined that the battle would develop in this manner. He could not help recalling that night before their departure.

Ding Jingxi silently dispersed Ye Shuying completely, and the sharpness in his eyes faded as well.

These methods surfaced automatically in Xiao Lin’s mind. He could not help thinking that he would have to eat more blood-nourishing foods from now on. The moment the reward was handed over, Kongdilaya prepared to kick this increasingly shameless bastard out.
