Volume One, Chapter 28: Deal with Her First

Fu Heng was ushered out by Jiang Yan. In the car, Song Feiqing curiously leaned out: "What happened?"

Fu Heng closed the car door with a nonchalant expression, his lips pulled into a tight line: "Nothing, it's just that my mother has changed."

"She doesn't love me anymore."

Tang Xiao did not even notice when Nalan Qianqian had appeared behind her until she spoke softly, causing Tang Xiao to snap back to reality.

Xie Nianyi asked this because he suddenly thought that even if Qing'er, Lan'er, and Zi'er were capable of killing Hong'er, what if there were others among the remaining three who were even more skilled than them? Wouldn't they be forced to keep killing?

Li Ziyuan not only failed to establish contact with the military sub-district, but he also kept the entire route of their relocation a secret until the very last moment. It was only when the troops were about to depart that the officers of the various battalions and companies learned of the direction of the movement. As for the soldiers and the local cadres accompanying the troops, Li Ziyuan chose to keep the secret until the end.

Fu Can took a deep breath, clutching the Wind-Breaking Sword tightly, desperate to unleash the first move of the Desolate Remains style: the Shadowless Sword. However, he could not enter that profound state and had no idea how to execute it.

Oh no! The drug is taking effect! The merchant's words were true—once struck by this aphrodisiac, even the greatest internal energy is of no help.

Lan Youming doused himself with another basin of cold water, but he felt not the slightest chill. Each basin of cold water felt like a bucket of gasoline poured over him, only making him burn hotter.

As Zhong Tiecheng said, as long as he lives, no one in the world would dare call themselves the Demon King. Even Chou Kongshan, the leader of the Black Lotus Sect, treats the title of "Demon King" with extreme dread.

He not only stayed behind closed doors himself but also strictly forbade the puppet troops from leaving their strongholds. At night, his own men even donned puppet uniforms to replace all the sentries. It was only when Li Ziyuan’s side opened fire that they released the puppet soldiers and returned their weapons. Upon receiving this intelligence, Li Ziyuan immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Decay will eventually be transformed; this is almost a universal truth. This was Lan Pingtian’s truth, yet even though both father and son possessed divine, god-like powers, they did not know that right at the gates of the Lan family estate, a man named Gao Yong was already planning to bring about that change.

Hua Qingyi was surrounded. It would have been child's play for Luan Shuangsheng to kill him now, had Xie Nianyi, Ai Xiang'er, Liu Yunqing, and Jiang Lan not been by his side.

Before they could throw more than a few punches, the burly men stopped fighting and crouched on the ground, clutching their hands and rubbing them frantically. Lin Yong’s fists were red too, but through sheer brute force, it was nothing short of a slaughter.

Everything was understood without words; everyone shared a tacit agreement. Su Wanyue, on the other hand, felt a tinge of envy. In the Primordial Era where divine names birthed masters, it was too difficult for women of their status to find a man with whom to grow old.

"I am asking about your origins," Nan Feng said. The reason he asked whether the visitor was a god or an immortal was to determine the visitor's stance. The other party clearly did not wish to answer the question directly, though there was another possibility: that this person was transcendental and peaceful, belonging to no faction.

Shang Yangjun gradually felt at ease, but the two were in a rush to reach their destination and had no heart to admire the scenery.

Furthermore, he had to let Ling Yanzi know that a few kind words would not be enough to swindle the Tai Xuan Scripture out of him. If he wanted the scripture, he would have to pay a price—a price Ling Yanzi certainly would not want to pay. In this way, he could delay for as much time as possible.

"How about you try one more time, and I'll keep watch for you?" The old man said, feeling a bit uneasy himself; after all, this was the legendary Iron Vein, and he could not make a definitive judgment.

"Indeed, I am the head of the Yu family, currently in seclusion to cultivate the state of Deity Transformation," Yu Wu replied coldly.
