Volume 1, Chapter 43: Lead the Way, or Lead Your Own Funeral

(1/3)
Anyone who has not truly experienced the streets of Shanyang when the Sogdian merchants arrive can never comprehend how immensely difficult it is to treat people of so many different countries and races with absolute equality.
As the system's voice faded, the next instant, Jiang Yang vanished from the spot out of thin air. Then, an inexplicable force instantly swept across the entire world, and the world abruptly froze.
Hearing Jiang Yang say this, Xu Lixue asked him whether he had drunk any, and then finished the longevity wine herself.
As the legitimate son of the Hang family and the most stunningly talented prodigy of the younger generation, Hang Heyun's techniques and skills represented the most direct and orthodox heritage of the Hang family.
"Do you really wish to marry someone like me, who is so much older than you?" Qin Tian asked calmly.
Four masters at the Throne Realm were the primary combat forces for conquering the Divine Realm in the future. How could Jiang Yang possibly let them slip away just like that?
Chu Tiance casually plunged the startled dragon sword into a piece of bluestone, forming hand seals with both hands. The spiritual light flickering with destructive divine runes grew increasingly pure and brilliant.
Brahma picked up Chen Xin and gently kissed her beautiful eyelashes. The beauty before him remained just as she had looked back then, yet it felt like a lifetime had passed. The overflowing excitement in his heart could not be expressed in words; the emotions after a long separation were so hard-won, making them all the more precious to cherish.
In the eyes of countless outer disciples, they could no longer even discern Zhou Zian's location; they could only see a mass of tranquil sword radiance weaving and soaring horizontally and vertically.
Once upon a time, she could still fight alongside Jiang Yang and stay constantly by his side. Yet now, she could not even help Jiang Yang with the slightest thing.
The Duke of Ying's Mansion was currently managed by her grandmother, and in the end, wouldn't all the blame fall upon her grandmother?
Yuan Wei leaped down from the head of the bone snake, and the massive bone snake transformed into the black snake staff in his hand. At the top of the staff, a bronze helmet forged from millennium copper gleamed brightly.
These farmhands were deeply grateful to the mistress of the estate. Ever since they began following her, their days had been getting better by the day. As long as they worked diligently, they had no worries about food and clothing, and their lives were peaceful and comfortable.

Hua Mian was overjoyed at having discovered a new continent, pondering that if she grew bored in the future, she could sneak out of the palace from here.
Therefore, from senior maids like Mother Gui and Mother Zhong down to the rough-cleaning maidservants sweeping the courtyards, everyone was hoping that Third Madam's returning grove dwelling would be bustling with a constant stream of visitors.
Qiao Lin also looked at Wang Hou with a concerned gaze, only to hear Fairy Baihe giggle and say, "First Princess, do not worry. There are not even a few people in the entire world who can pose a threat to the leader, so rest assured... Leader, this is flower mist; take it just in case." Wang Hou took it and tucked it into his bosom.
When he saw the true appearance of the snake, Ling Yue drew in a sharp breath of cold air. Its head was triangular, its mouth grew four long fangs, and its entire body was covered with white transverse stripes, alternating in black and white. Over three feet long, it was a highly venomous adult hundred-pace snake.
"You must tell me about her condition!" Ting stared straight at him like a wild beast foraging through severe cold.
She was originally just a chess piece used by her family to ingratiate themselves with the royal family. With her family in decline and the Empress of the Underworld having just passed away, she had been sent in, betraying the passionate vows of her youth.
"No," Hua Mian said somewhat gloomily. "Wild Brother didn't believe at first that she would try to poison me, and couldn't bear to be harsh on her. This matter was done by Ling Yue and Kang Muning." Intertwined with emotional poison as well, she didn't care to mention it further.
"The military has already discovered a general who was subverted by bewitchment, though fortunately he was captured right after being found out. Everyone was simply told he was ambushed and killed by bandits while patrolling the borders, seeing as the impact of a high-ranking general treasonous to the enemy within the army is far too massive," Liu Yan Yuying also sighed with emotion.
Not counting the amplification of strength talent, her own strength should be under seven hundred catties, which meant it had increased by four to five times based on her original strength.
"How could this be?!" Although Lu Fan was asking, he simply dared not believe it. One must know that the Marquis of Xinling had already reached the Innate Realm.
To be able to drive the Emperor to this extent, he was truly formidable! Otherwise, the Emperor would never have made him travel all the way to our Xueji Country, and even sacrificed our Xueji Country's marriage-alliance princess to eliminate him. Wouldn't the losses outweigh the gains?
What he wanted to know most right now was who wanted to kill him. Having been in this world for less than a year, he could not fathom for the life of him who on earth wanted to make a move against him.
"President Zi's skill in stone-gambling is not bad either. I am quite optimistic about the gambling stone you selected for Sister Luo," Moke suddenly said.

The reason was that the people of this Giant Sect basically all possessed the superpower of mass magnification, which not only allowed their bodies to become powerful, but also simultaneously enhanced their strength, speed, and other attributes.
By that time, it would be even harder to explain, so it would be better to simply admit that she possessed a special talent capable of detecting nearby fierce beasts, which made it much easier for people to accept.
Luo Zhengkun was an old fox who had witnessed all kinds of scenes; even when Lin Bixiao played her cards completely out of convention, he could still remain poised and calm. In contrast, Luo Qiran's disguise was not nearly as proficient.
Shuo Meng gave an awkward, sheepish smile, loathing himself to the core. His old face truly had nowhere to hide. The one who had told Fu Jie to get lost just moments ago was him, and the one asking him to stay was also him. The most crucial part was that Fu Jie acted as though he didn't care about what he said at all.
Toward a self-righteous person, Yang Fan could no longer be bothered to waste his breath; he didn't want to say even half a sentence more. Speaking to them was like playing a lute to a cow. No matter what was said, in their eyes, they were noble disciples of first-rate immortal sects, incapable of tolerating anyone else—especially since Yang Fan was merely a disciple of a humble fourth-rate immortal sect.
Aside from a few hundred garrison guards and estate soldiers, the Han family possessed virtually no reliance in terms of military force.
Music, the most beautiful language in the world, uses its graceful and melodious voice to narrate story after story.
Xu Shuifeng did not make things difficult for this fellow, greeting him with a smile. Xu Shuifeng always wore that exact smile. Able to smile even in the face of such a terrifying place, the captain looked as though he were about to cry. Asking about the sequence of events, Xu Shuifeng simply uttered that he did not know, and that it had been like this when he arrived.
Meanwhile, Yun Tianyang also discovered those numerous cloud cliff grasses in a certain corner. Plucking one, he crushed it and slowly sprinkled it over the fragmented map. Immediately, the originally blurry fragment of the map grew increasingly clear.
That was good; Xu Yang also knew that there was generally nothing happening at the orphanage right now. However, what puzzled Xu Yang was what the person targeting the orphanage had in mind, and why those people hadn't made the slightest move yet. It was even better if they didn't come! Xu Yang had already arranged for people to keep an eye on the situation.
