Volume One, Chapter 56: The Beginning of Vengeance

Jiang Xun had spent a considerable amount of spirit stones renting a residence on Liuxian Road within the city. The spiritual Qi in this area was exceptionally dense, available for rent only and never for sale, complemented by advanced defensive magic arrays. It was jointly owned as private property by the city lord and several major aristocratic families, so no one dared to cause trouble here. Even the people from the city lord's estate and the major families were strictly prohibited from creating disturbances within its bounds.

Qin Qing was momentarily stunned. Would a mighty cultivator actually live in a place like this? Although she had heard that cultivators reaching a certain realm would return to the mortal world to re-experience mortal life in order to achieve a breakthrough in their state of mind, could a descendant of Yi really reside here? Was he perhaps planning to act as a hunter to experience the life of an ordinary mortal?

With a final remark, Xing Shijie slashed the void open with a single sword stroke, plunging her entire mecha into the black hole. Seeing this, the enemy welcomed the opportunity, directly tearing open the void and dashing in, with Wushang following closely behind.

However, without an outstanding apothecary and those rare heavenly treasures, all of this would still be in vain.

The only slight flaw was that Zhao Chu had not yet broken the taboo prohibiting romance between siblings; otherwise, he could have sprinkled some sweet romantic moments here and there.

As a martial arts student, he naturally possessed his own pride. Driven by this very pride, Lin Dong felt that the girl he had set his sights on absolutely brook no interference from anyone else.

Within this thunderball, countless powerful energies seemed to be contained, and countless white arcs of lightning churned incessantly around its periphery.

"Xiang Shangtian has gone to the United States and will not return until three days later. The trial will resume then," Han Haoran explained patiently.

Moreover, every time it would take over half a month for him to contact her, and thinking that he should have a wealth of song lyrics ready in a couple of days filled him with excitement.

"Hate you," Ye Xiaomei patted him on the back, then walked over to stand between Ah Si and Jinfeng, keeping them company as she began chatting about everyday household matters.

Ming Shiyun also knew that her words had been excessive, but she simply could not suppress her displaced anger. The feeling of having everything slip out of her control was truly terrible; she felt as though all her meticulously prepared plans had instantly lost their utility, and what tormented her even more was that she had tacitly permitted the inception of all this.

Liu Mu understood without needing any explanation. There were over two hundred thousand Goguryeo forced laborers here, and these people needed clothes, as well as work uniforms for mining. A garment workshop was a business with a colossal demand.

Zique massaged her forehead in speechlessness. She had seen people burn bridges after crossing the river, but she had never seen someone demolish the bridge before they had even crossed it.

Tao Qing was already infatuated with martial arts. Hearing Xiao Ran speak thus, he could no longer restrain himself, stood up, and strode out the door.

When the Wutong Ward was originally constructed, it was touted as a place of leisure and amusement for Princess Changping, Dugu Lanruo, but in reality, the number of times Dugu Lanruo actually visited this place was exceedingly few.

Unreasonable making of a fuss?! Exactly who was being unreasonable, him or her?! The grip in his hand involuntarily tightened significantly. Li Yan gazed with dark eyes at the shimmering tears faintly glinting in An Youran's eyes, feeling a tight constriction in his chest.

At this moment, she suddenly regretted telling Yan Chengqian's mother that the child was his. She had already begun to be reluctant to let this child leave her, because she truly had nothing left in the world save for this single child.

"So what? As long as she likes it!" A cold voice rang out out of nowhere, yet it swept across An Youran's heart like an electric current, leaving her feeling as if she were in a dream or wandering through a foggy haze.

"You... hate it when I pull you?" A flicker of displeasure crossed his glass-like eyes, resembling a passing chill of dark wind that made An Youran shiver involuntarily.

Hearing this, Nezha quickly shook his head, afraid that Wu Kong might resort to force. He instantly retrieved the Universe Ring into his body and only then let out a sigh of relief.

He glanced back at the ICU. Although he could not see He Niannian, his heart was still filled with overwhelming guilt. He had known full well that bringing her into his orbit would place her in grave danger. Yet he had done it anyway; this was unfair to her, for she had done nothing wrong.

A sinister smile hung on the professor's face as he walked into the ring, standing opposite Anicên and Ziwu.

However, the wound on her forehead was still bandaged. Didn't they say she was a victim of domestic violence? Instead of properly recuperating in the hospital, why bring her all the way here?

Upon hearing that the blood type did not match, Wang Yuebin's father's expression instantly turned much more stern. He glared fiercely at his wife and then insisted that Wang Yuebin take the blood test once again.

The numerous Jifeng Star residents dispersed, but the rumors and talk surrounding Wu Kong rose and fell like tides, lingering ceaselessly. As Zhu Bajie listened, things began to feel somewhat amiss; he blinked his eyes and looked toward the silent Sha Seng beside him.

Wu Xin! The moment Mo Li saw this name, she froze in place. When on earth had they exchanged phone numbers?

Nalan Chen remarked, "Feng Hua has truly cast all caution to the wind. He must be thinking that since he can no longer secure first place, and given that Luo Qi and Beiming Luoyun are separated by only ten thousand points, he would rather reinforce Beiming Luoyun's position as first than allow our Changling Academy to take the crown."

Bai Qingge, Shang Qishao... all the friends who had journeyed all the way alongside Feng Yuran had reddened eye rims and trembling bodies.

The mysterious figure also seemed to sense someone watching him. He turned his head to look at me, and I quickly averted my gaze, pretending as if nothing at all had happened.

In other words, during the remaining half-year period, Jiang Yi and the others would have a full fifteen years of time for arduous cultivation. If one factored in the extreme environment of the cultivation pods, the training effects would be magnified even further.

At a single glance, Lin Xi knew that this room had been meticulously arranged by her mother; all the furnishings were brand-new, and compared to her former boudoir, this place was infinitely more luxurious.

Yet he also knew that no matter what he said, Rong Rourou and her companion would not believe him. Still, he had to keep talking, simply to buy time and wait for his brothers to return and save his life.

Wu Hai looked at the rearview mirror with eyes full of terror, cold sweat unconsciously sliding down from his temples without him even rolling down the car window.

Mu Zhihan was already weeping torrents before him, and by this point, the two tear-soaked figures embraced tightly, choked with silent sobs.

As it turned out, the development of events was simply this dramatic. Han Xue never expected that she would actually lay eyes on Su Fazhao on such an occasion today.

Yet in truth, if Yi Yuefeng truly intended to do something to her, given her current condition, she might not even be a match for him even after breaking her seals. Therefore, Lin Xi was well aware that Yi Yuefeng's appearance was not for that purpose.

An Jun had not expected An Cai to resort to force. Truth be told, he and An Cai were of similar age, and the two had always shared a very close bond. Especially in recent years as they plotted grand matters, their thoughts had aligned even more closely, which deepened their relationship further.
