Chapter 99: Once Again Making a Big Scene

“Feng Xu, you bastard! I demand blood be repaid with blood as I chase you for vengeance!”

“Captain, didn’t you say these dogs are useful? Have you found anything yet?”

He gazed coldly at the captain beside him, his heart burning with intent to tear Feng Xu into pieces and extinguish the vengeful fire in his soul at this very moment.

If...

“Moreover, do you truly believe Cheng Hao is some kind-hearted soul? Back then she resigned from Renyi to join Wu Kebang’s company because Lao Wu paid for her father’s treatment. For all these years, Lao Wu’s company has kept only her as its sole protégé, always spoiling her. Who knows what hidden schemes lie beneath that indulgence?” Li Xue said with open disdain.

Wang Chuxuan silently looked toward Qiu Lian from Sha Wuhen, watching him wait expectantly for an answer.

“Zhun Ti Dao Ren rejoiced inwardly. He merely glanced at the man without a word, neither supporting nor opposing Yuan Shi Zun’s decision.

Zhou Renren lay nearby, eyes fixed on those who had emerged, smiling with an eerie, unsettling grin that sent chills down the spine. Though An Mingchen held no great affection for Li Caiyi, they were blood relatives. Seeing her reduced to such a pitiful state now filled him with boiling rage. Without hesitation he strode forward and delivered two heavy kicks.

Li Yuanba tilted his head, utterly bewildered. Not long afterward they reached the teahouse at the mountain’s foot. Lu Liangsheng walked straight in, ordered a square table, and instructed the waiter to bring five bowls of iced tea.

“Knows,” Wang Dagui was the notorious bully of the district; Wu Zhidong naturally recognized the face, yet they had always turned a blind eye before. This man’s sudden outburst suggested trouble, but it turned out to be for those very people. Disgust flickered in his eyes, yet he forced a nod.

Outside, the sky had sunk into near darkness, the stove still glowing faintly with dying embers that cast a dim light upon the silent Lu Laoshi, who snapped a dry branch and tossed it into the fire.

The horse’s long neighs stirred the inn into lively commotion. Guests opened their doors and stepped out onto the corridors, peering about as though the backyard mount had somehow escaped.

Although he had sworn never to return, an inner insecurity made him treat this place as his final, secret sanctuary, hoping he would never be driven to such desperate straits.

Thus Helian had declared that zero still possessed Yi Hai and her, forming the true trinity.

While they spoke, the wall inside the root-woven archway slowly divided into two, a shaft of light leaking through to illuminate the entire dim corridor.

Having dined amid lingering regret for the opening banquet, the whole afternoon passed in patrol and reinforcement of Azkaban Castle’s defensive spells for Laine and the others.

“Undoubtedly because you are so breathtakingly beautiful that even the National Master finds himself glancing sideways,” Xie Liuying said with leisurely calm.

Therefore Professor Jason devoted most of the first class to theoretical instruction. Only when he judged the students had absorbed the concepts did he let them draw forth their wands for practical trials.

Such an assembled army, though not composed of elite fighters, could still be imagined: nine cities had each dispatched representatives. They were their own people, after all. If they could be brought back intact, would that not be far better?

Yet at that instant the two snake spirits felt a sudden chill. This situation was unprecedented to them. When had the human race reached such a formidable height?

These words greatly pleased Xun Ge’er and Yu Ge’er. They praised her loyalty and even bestowed a small silver reward upon her.

Generally speaking, objects like the prohibition stone could only be touched by supreme-level masters possessing the very foundation required.
