Chapter 58 She Was the Ultimate Fool All Along

Liu Xiuhua thought this plan was feasible. With the New Year festivities and preparations over the past few months, she had never found the time to patiently wait around.

Since the ginseng still remained unsold, she simply decided to take it directly to the county town to sell later on.

After lingering a little longer, seeing that it was already seven o'clock, a scattered fraction of the vegetables Liu Xiuhua had brought were sold off.

It was getting late, so she stood up, packed her belongings, hoisted her bamboo basket onto her back, and left the black market.

Fang Mingxi did the same, as she happened to...

As the madam's voice trailed off, the crowd below gradually grew quiet. Wealthy patrons shook their folding fans with looks of absolute confidence, while those with little money had come purely to watch the spectacle.

Yet unexpectedly, Wanyan Jinzong's gaze was as piercing as flying arrows, and the cavalry's charge targeted the archers above all else.

This was because many renowned strategists were wholly devoted to studying military secrets, leaving them with neither the time nor the mental energy to cultivate martial arts. By the end of their lives, they barely reached the peak of self-cultivation, and in more extreme cases, their bodies were so frail they lacked the strength to truss a chicken.

Qin Wan pondered for a moment, then instructed Qin Shu to hand him a token, ordering him to gather troops and proceed directly to rendezvous with the imperial envoy's procession at Liuyuan County, situated at the foot of the Sacred Mountain.

Because it could block the reflection of sunlight, it could easily evade the enemy's visual lock. Furthermore, it could muffle the sound waves piercing through space, dodging the listening ears of the foe.

Although Hua Xiying was the young master of the Hua family, possessing exceptional talent and an imposing presence, and had spent a fair amount of time traveling the world, he had never truly witnessed the grander side of life. While not entirely a flower raised in a greenhouse, he had yet to weather many storms. Confronted so abruptly with such a monumental crisis, a momentary lapse of focus was inevitable.

When I brought the ghost child into the main hall, Elder Brother Xia and Elder Brother Zhao were both waiting inside. The moment they saw me arrive, they immediately hurried out to greet me.

Conversely, the six imperial armies of the capital had not seen the flash of blades for years. Even when occasionally deployed, they swept through with the crushing weight of Mount Tai, utterly failing to receive any tempering, which only served to inflate their arrogance.

Hua Yun then told the Empress that she must definitely come to visit the capital when she had the time, but right now, she simply could not leave her family.

Yet at that very moment, a strand of divine consciousness crossed through the void. This consciousness arrived silently, possessing the body of an old ape.

The year before last, while participating in the Vladivostok-to-Cape Town auto rally, the Grandmaster had once taken Fang Zhengying to play on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal for an entire day.

A pitch-black palm shattered the firmament, descending with overwhelming pressure. Even before it fully landed, the ground began to cave in, dust swarmed into the air, and every single soldier atop the city walls vomited blood and collapsed unconscious.

Fang Yisheng's withered, wrinkled palms clenched tightly into fists. Flames of fury seemed ready to spew from his eyes, his aged face contorted with uncontrollable rage. Yet under the suppression of this golden light, his cultivation was completely sealed, driving an intense urge to vomit blood from sheer frustration.

At this mention, the Undead War Sovereign's body stiffened rigidly. His breathing grew rapid and ragged, his eyes suffused with a bloody crimson—this was a painful memory he least wished to recall.

"What are you standing around dazed for? Get on the camel quickly, time to hit the road!" Yun Ge shoved Wu Chuan. However, this shove was somewhat different from previous times; at the very least, Yun Ge's movements were much gentler—after all, he was a wounded man. Yet following closely on its heels was the sensation of an even deeper, bone-chilling cold spreading through his entire body.

Compared to the soaring viewership ratings of Royal Television Network Channel 3, the internet at this moment had completely exploded.

Amidst the flashing red warning digits, the energy generated by the collapse of the black hole finally reached the wormhole, initiating their first point of contact.

On the side of the peak, before the Undying Palace, the Red Shield Mercenary Corps—who had stood unflinchingly against armies numbering in the thousands and tens of thousands—knelt directly on the stone steps for the sake of resurrecting Xing Zeyuan.

Earlier, when Ronan hadn't overclocked, only his body emitted a green glow, while the silver-gray omni-hammer showed no abnormalities. Therefore, Maya had only just discovered that the Heart of Emerald was concealed within the core of the hammer.
