Chapter Ninety-Eight: Who Fired the Shot? (Two-in-One)

The news that Clear Mist Tower had gone up in flames spread like wildfire, and before the night was out it had already swept across the land from north to south.

The court was shocked, and the emperor flew into a furious rage.

With the ancestral rites imminent, for such a thing to happen at this critical juncture was far more than a mere blow to the dignity of the throne.

If it had only been the demon maiden of the Jiao Light Sect stirring up trouble, that would have been one thing after all. The ways of the demonic factions were always unpredictable; if anything, it would have given Emperor Zhao Ning a legitimate reason to suppress the demonic path, and to bring peace once more to the two realms in due course.

The atmosphere in the main hall was heavy. Murong Jun remained silent for a long while. Just as Lin Yingxue was about to ask what Murong Jun planned to do next, several men carrying clubs suddenly rushed in through the door.

Goro knew he could not persuade the two of them on his own. If he wanted Stern and Dust of the Wind to calm down, he had to find Ling Zhen. But at this moment Ling Zhen’s life or death was still unknown. If Ling Zhen were still alive, that would be best of all, but if by chance... if something had happened to Ling Zhen, then finding him might even have the opposite effect.

Yet, as the saying went, Shang Zhi had indeed helped him in this matter. His contribution could not be denied.

Hidden Dragon Temple stood in the western outskirts of the capital. Compared with the traffic and bustle of the streets, the temple was especially quiet now, and in this moment it even seemed tinged with the desolation of a lone swan vanishing into the sky.

Hu Baoyun smiled and said, “And you too? Sweet words and all that.” Though she said it aloud, her heart was blooming with joy.

After all, each breakthrough for a savage beast brought not only greater strength, but a far longer life as well. If one became lord of the savage beasts, its lifespan could stretch to several million years, something beyond imagination.

Just now, outside the door, he had vaguely heard some kind of quarrel. When he came in, he saw Jiang Su gripping the collar of the garment over Night Fairy’s chest and shouting.

He decided to leave Dijing and see the world beyond it. He wanted to look upon different people, different customs and landscapes, and feel something different.

As soon as Lu Yichen and the others entered the tavern, they immediately asked the owner about Liang Xiao. Clearly, the owner of this tavern had received word concerning the search and then tipped off Lu Yichen and the others, which was why they had been able to arrive in time.

When Tu Bufan heard Liang Xiao’s words, he was plainly very unconvinced. But because Tu Wanfang had just scolded him, he did not dare make a sound. He simply stared fixedly at Liang Xiao, dismissing his words with utter disdain.

Thus, the senior executive evidently did not know how Qiao Wan had entered the company, nor what sort of connection she truly had with Song Yanshu.

Digital World was growing larger and larger. After securing financing, everything there had begun to take on a more impressive air. The company had recently added several new Mercedes S-Class cars as official vehicles, specially used to ferry clients or shuttle the bosses to and from work.

Xin You admired his unwillingness to lose in matters of e-sports. It was not just talk; everyone could see how diligent he was in training every day. It was only his temper and the way he spoke that made people rather annoyed when they heard him.

After all, Ye Yi was one of the Ye family. The Ye family had already lost one genius they had intended to nurture; they could not afford to lose a second so easily.

The matter at hand was merely the choice of site for building the brick house, and in truth there was not much to choose. The house was only meant as a transitional dwelling. Once all the people from the Forest Continent arrived, they would certainly build better homes themselves.

However, Chen Hui felt rather awkward, because compared with Liu Aiping’s delight at seeing her, all she felt on seeing Liu Aiping was surprise, even alarm.

Luan Zhen was glaring, about to slap her thigh and explode in anger, when someone suddenly tugged at her sleeve. Just as she was about to flare up, wondering which fool dared to touch her—

The center of the island in the lake was also an excellent location. Hong meant that a wooden cabin built here would be just right, and if the quality were made better, then when the territory took root here in the future, this could also serve as a fine place to gather medicinal herbs.

Beep, beep, beep!

The owner of that car seemed to have no awareness whatsoever that the miracle doctor Ye Chen had been victimized. He kept hammering the horn without pause.
