Chapter 109: Why Target Song Mi?

At this moment, Song Mi was in her hotel room, waiting for Huo Qingjue to pick her up.

"I am looking over some project materials," she said, closing her laptop screen and leaning back into her chair. "What are you doing, Brother?"

"How is your grandfather doing today?"

After a long silence without a response from the man, she...

However, in that era, religious wars between Buddhism and the Bon religion broke out almost every three to five years, and such religious conflicts were the most brutal and merciless of all.

In a flash, she thought to herself, how could her mother not be worried about her safety? If she were in danger, would her mother really have no reaction at all? Thinking of this, she realized her worries were perhaps unnecessary and finally put her mind at ease.

Staring blankly at the ceiling for a long while, Chu Luoxi climbed out of bed with light footsteps. She quickly prepared a simple breakfast, but before she could even eat, she rushed off toward the airport.

Upon entering this place, they had already lost so many lives without even seeing a shadow. Such a level of danger far exceeded everyone's expectations.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, Imperial Mother; it is my fault." Hong Hao’s eyes held a hint of a smile, though his expression remained perfectly composed. Internally, however, he could not help but groan, wondering what kind of punishment awaited him should he happen to anger her.

Nevertheless, that was the truth of the matter; an assistant’s role was always to wait for tasks, handle logistics, or run errands, whereas an agent was someone who could actively secure opportunities—their connections were simply not in the same league.

The white robes with flame-patterned brocade were reserved for outer-sect disciples; this distinction was so subtle that one might easily overlook it if not paying close attention.

Zuo Shaotang, having just changed into a new set of clothes and preparing to go out for a stroll, found his door blocked by two children.

Next to arrive was Madam Yu, who had changed into a vermilion banquet dress; she merely nodded and smiled upon seeing Liuli. Madam Lu, wife of Cui Yixuan, arrived right on time, while Lady Yang, the sixteenth daughter who had married the illegitimate son of Zhangsun Wuji, was the last to appear. She offered profuse apologies the moment she arrived. Madam Yang naturally smiled and brushed it off, leading everyone toward the back.

It seemed that because his cultivation technique shared the same origin as hers, it had such an effect.

The surrounding Weilong soldiers were all cultivators, and at this moment, their auras were locked firmly onto the black-robed youth before them.

Qin Yang did not care in the slightest about the opinions of others. In this day and age, if someone wanted to put money into his pocket and he refused, it would be an affront to heaven itself.

If Lu Chen were currently in the Void-Breaking Realm, or if he had killed him with an incredibly domineering sword aura and intent, Zhou Yan would never have worn such an expression.

But under the current circumstances, a fight meant certain death for him. Naturally, he would avoid conflict if possible and run as far as he could.

Finally, news came from Zenan City that reinforcements had been dispatched to assist Yi Xuan and his companions, though their identities were kept a secret. The three waited with bated breath until the arrival appeared outside the camp, draped in a heavy cloak.

It was only then that I realized—when Wu Xuan said she wanted to take her own plane, she didn't mean a helicopter, but that commercial airliner... It was fortunate I didn't agree, otherwise, with such a massive plane, where on earth would you even land it?

Lu Chen glanced in that direction, and several Tianshan disciples drew their long swords, their expressions darkening.

Upon hearing this, the three ancestors of the mountain gathered all their focus, not daring to slacken for a moment. They projected their divine sense across ten thousand miles, searching meticulously over and over, essentially turning the area around the Diyou Sect upside down. At the same time, the three kept their eyes fixed on Xin Jiangli below, ready to observe the methods of this senior.

"Great Elder, you are the one teasing me! If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother to respond, let alone volunteer for battle. If it doesn't matter to you, then just pretend I never said anything!" Yi Xuan turned as if to leave, only to be blocked by the other.
