Chapter 132: The Ambush

Mu Hong pulled on the reins, causing the horse to rear up. He turned his head to seek Mu Chengyao’s opinion, "Let’s rest here for today!"

Huizhou was a land of many mountains and waters, with rugged, winding paths. To save time, they had taken a shortcut where, in some places, four-wheeled vehicles simply could not pass, leaving them no choice but to ride on horseback.

As dusk fell, the faint silhouette of a village appeared in the distance. Mu Chengyao looked back at his subordinates trailing behind him. Having pushed their horses hard throughout the journey, everyone was inevitably covered in dust and grime. Recalling the map, he spoke, "Less than half a day’s travel past this point, we can catch the train, and then we can rest for a few days."

The group’s spirits lifted, and a sense of anticipation grew among them.

Late summer had passed, and the air was gradually turning cool. The crops in the fields were visibly...

The merman clearly understood music; after all, since the primordial era, music had become an indispensable part of every race. Yet, he could not discern the essence within the melody.

Blazer closed his eyes and hurled Gungnir toward Hermanubis, interrupting the ritual of rebirth.

Tao Ran smiled. He noticed that the young woman’s clothes and shoes were not exactly cheap, belonging to the trendy brands favored by the youth.

If the current Wang Hao had not surpassed his limits, or had only done so once, perhaps he would have advanced further, much like Leng Qingying of the Qin State.

Wen Li felt distressed and his mood was low. Compounded by the injury to his waist, he was far less cooperative than usual.

"To violate a blood-sworn marriage contract will invite divine retribution! When that happens, not only will the wealth the Su family has accumulated over twenty years vanish into thin air, but the family will be destroyed, leaving no one—not even the dogs—alive!" Qin Feng warned.

The long sword vibrated, leaving his arm numb as if struck by a heavy blow! Jia Dashi nearly lost his grip on the weapon.

Wang Shu possessed strong nerves; she spoke these words with fluid ease, sounding as if she were boldly stating the truth.

Without time to wipe the grime from his face, Jiang Bai climbed from the window of the military train onto the roof, running against the wind toward the middle carriages.

As the ghostly wind dissipated, the phantom looked at the powerful Yin soldiers exposed before it, its tone filled with disdain.

Jiang Hua nodded, walked silently out of the office, and focused his mind on using Su Ziyao’s method to turn his phone into an automatic translator.

"Please watch 'Into Science' more often in the future and gain some 'knowledge'! Don't watch these brainless romance movies." Lin Wanbai felt she had to win this argument against Shen Tianyu, otherwise, it would be too embarrassing.

After about a hundred soldiers had poured into the courtyard, they finally stopped. The soldiers on both sides of the gate then consciously lined up in two rows, as if waiting for a great figure to enter. Liu Yi knew that Sun Fei must be the one appearing next.

He did not know if Kun Xinglong could truly be considered a member of the Immortal Sect, but since Chen Xixi had already tacitly accepted his status, he could not appear too ignorant and could only nod in agreement.

Although she did not know how skilled Ye Yuling and Lu Lu were at cooking, Zhao Yuanyuan felt that, at the very least, she could not lose to them in this regard.

"That still doesn't mean you can wear my clothes!" Lin Wanbai shoved the garments into Shen Tianyu's chest. Before he could respond, she slammed the bathroom door shut, leaving him standing outside.

The system pondered for a long time, and even after Jiang Hua silently left the internet cafe and apologized to Liang Shanbo, the system could not come up with any suitable words to dissuade him.

Zhao Feng’s voice was cold and ruthless. No one would have expected to encounter such a situation on a pedestrian street. He could not remain vigilant at every moment; if Wei Ming hadn’t happened to see it, he would likely be dead or severely wounded by now.

Yu Mei lived alone in Zijin Residence. Being in the mourning period and pregnant, Gu Yangling had specifically instructed that she not be disturbed. Thus, although Yu Mei knew something major had happened at the Prime Minister’s estate, it wasn't until her birthday, when guests filled the house and the noise reached the side courtyard, that she finally understood the full story.

When Du Ruo heard Lu Wu’s voice, her tears fell even faster. Yet, she did not cry out, letting the tears stream down her face as she sobbed silently.

She had meant to warn him that someone was eavesdropping behind the wall, never imagining that the house belonged to him, and the person was someone he had arranged.

If, by any chance, the person appearing in the illusion was Wang Ruoyao, he did not know if he would be able to walk out.
