Chapter 63

The rapid shifting of the political situation was like the wind or a flash of lightning. Just as the troops of the Great Song were reorganizing themselves, the situation in the Yan region changed so dizzyingly fast that it left those caught up in it breathless, with one dramatic turn following another.

Wu Qiu was dressed entirely in black, with a slender waist and a face as delicate as a lotus. She moved with graceful elegance, and her beautiful eyes shimmered with a peculiar radiance.

Apart from waiting out the time until the medicinal effects completely dissipated, Ning Chen temporarily had no other solution.

Hearing this thoroughly irritating voice, Kenny rolled his eyes and remained silent. Even without looking up, he knew who it was. Indeed, the only person in the Arsenal squad who would exchange a few words with him was probably this guy.

"You six, step back at once!" The Grand Heavenly Honored One remained seated on the sedan chair without getting down, simply issuing a light rebuke to the six of them.

Lin Xiuran looked upward and, through the rocks shielding the mountaintop overhead, clearly made out that the great demon was a nine-tailed fox.

Over there, the long-suppressed anger of the Victorious Army soldiers completely erupted. In order to protect Guo Rong, they shouted that they would stay behind to cover the retreat.

"Whinny." Beigong Han reined in his horse and tied it to a large tree outside the estate.

With a clang, the two exchanged another blow. This time, Liu Yanzhao swept his long spear horizontally, which Zu Dazhou managed to block. But before Zu Dazhao could even react, Liu Yanzhao's spear thrust forward like raindrops, driving Zu Dazhao to secretly curse his misfortune.

Lie Huo was seeing such a sight for the first time, and upon seeing some strange objects, he even wanted to buy them to play with.

Walking over, Yang Bufan casually pinched Feng Lanyue's breast, then pushed the door open and stepped outside, slamming the door shut and shoving Feng Lanyue back as she had just turned around.

There were not many pedestrians on this road, but there was a median barrier in the middle; making a U-turn would require driving against the traffic.

In theory, if one were to encounter a tycoon in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, Zhang Ye's current comprehensive strength would still allow him to put up a fight.

He was a very peculiar man, dressed in plain grey robes, and unlike most people whose hair was tied up in a long topknot, he wore his hair cropped to only about an inch in length. It looked bizarre, yet it gave him a spirited appearance.

"Isn't that so?" The scarred man smiled faintly, took a step forward, and instantly materialized right in front of Daoyu, looking down at him from a condescending height.

The purple-gold fist print was not just a single manifestation; instead, nearly thirty fist prints overlapped with one another, stirring up the ambient air and actually forming a destructive hurricane belt.

Yang Bufan was well aware that there were simply too many misunderstandings between himself and Liu Yan. The current Liu Yan was perhaps angry—angry that he had not given her a chance, nor given her time. Yang Bufan, however, felt that he and Liu Yan were not people on the same path, and thus he no longer wished to dwell on it.

Seeing Jin Yaotian roll up his sleeves to engage in a war of words with Li Feng, Jin Zheng had to admit that this Li Feng was indeed far more suited than the Golden Crow clan. Why wasn't he a member of the Golden Crow clan?

Someone wanted to take out their mobile phone to film and record the scene, but under Harold's fierce glare, they quickly put their phones away. None of them wanted to follow in the footsteps of Ah Qi and the others.

I watched my surroundings unblinkingly, guarding against the reappearance of the ghostly shadow. However, after that ghostly shadow was struck by the black metaphysical iron umbrella and fled back into the town, no second ghostly shadow emerged. The surrounding temperature remained normal and did not drop, making it temporarily impossible to tell whether the ghost would launch a sneak attack on us.

Looking at the pale and bloodless Han Shuang collapsed on the ground, besides a sense of regret, there was only deep sympathy.

How could Jin Hua, completely kept in the dark, ever imagine that the wealth she had exhausted to buy people's loyalty had all been swapped out by this seemingly loyal maid beside her?

The pawnbroker's reaction made the veins on my forehead throb fiercely. I instantly radiated murderous intent, launching an attack against the pawnbroker while channeling the ghostly energy within my body, repeatedly striking out with my palms to deal with him using supernatural force.

"Understood." Giving Jiao Yuzhen another look, Xiao Chunshan turned and walked into the inner chamber, returning a moment later with a brocade box containing the jade Buddha, which he handed directly to Jiao Yuzhen.

"Does Uncle Wang think my abilities are too low and that I'll hold you back?" Wang Dapeng's refusal made me knit my brows slightly.

After all, apart from the secret broth recipe, Chuanxiang also required the specific method for making meatballs; without meatballs, Chuanxiang would lose its savor.

Yan Ruoxing was already worried about Xi Duoduo, and seeing her locked outside the door now naturally made certain things clear in his mind.

Those permitted to sit at the two tables on the upper left were naturally the most important guests at tonight's banquet.

"My beauty, what's wrong?" Xiao Jingyu gently stroked Mo Xiangli's fair and smooth cheek with his delicate fingers, asking in bewilderment.

Naturally, during times of peace, only the gates in the border city walls were heavily guarded and kept constantly closed, while the gates in the interior regions remained open around the clock to allow the elves to pass freely.

Xie Dongping and Xie Fan both looked into the bushes. Seeing that all three of them were staring at it, those eyes did not flee, remaining right there to lock gazes with the trio.

The mutated beastman spotted the enemy and immediately roared, lunging forward in an attempt to tear the frail creature before it to shreds.

Xie Fan unfolded his Soaring Firmament Cloud-Striding Technique, dodging left and right amidst the attacks of the three while seizing opportunities to launch sword strikes back at them.

"Eldest brother, since my Azure Firmament Sword Sect can be coveted by those people, the other major sects are likely in the same boat. I wonder if we need to contact a few old friends?" Yao You asked from the side.

"That works too. If things don't work out, we retreat, or reveal our diplomatic identities and find some excuse to muddle through. Safety first; if it doesn't work this time, we'll think of another way." Gao Shou instructed with lingering unease.

He stamped his foot hard on the ground, looking up at the sky with righteous indignation. Ever since his proposal was rejected, the direction of this horror film had completely slipped beyond his predictions.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to show up now. Don't forget that that woman named An Mei might be searching the world for you. It's not appropriate. I'll go instead; there's a wig in the car, so I can disguise myself. It shouldn't be a big problem," Gao Shou insisted.

Sure enough, when Sun Miao lowered her hands, everyone snapped out of their daze. The looks they directed at Sun Miao once again carried a hint of wariness. Noticing the wariness on everyone's faces, a faint flush on Sun Miao's cheeks faded into a look of dejection.

Just at that moment, with a loud "Boom!", the southern bank of the river instantly erupted in blazing flames, the glare immediately obscuring the scene upon the water's surface.
