Chapter 67: The Showdown Begins

"Where are the second son and his wife?"
Hua Zhongguo asked, his chest heaving and trembling with rage, his teeth clenched.
Hua Ning glanced at Su Qiuxin, whose eyes were red with fright, and replied indifferently, "Eaten by wild beasts on the mountain."
Hua Zhongguo, who had just been pondering in his heart how to settle accounts with the second son and his wife: ???
"And, there wasn't a single whole piece of them left, oh."
Seeing Hua Zhongguo's expression of utter shock, Hua Ning bared her small white teeth and added with a beaming smile.
Humph.
"Tang Ruxing. I am truly sorry to have caused you trouble." Gu Nanfeng pulled over Hai Tang, winking and gesturing frantically, stopping just short of using physical force.
Mu Yunfan called out to Mo Qianxue once again. He still hadn't received any response from Qianxue and assumed she had gone to sleep too late last night and hadn't woken up yet.
Erika didn't mind. She thought the new door was great; not only could she register her fingerprint, but she could also set a password that she could easily remember.
Looking again at these people who had suddenly burst forth, dressed in uniform attire, one could tell at a glance that their garments were not something an ordinary family could possess. Even the guards of the Four Great Clans could not afford to wear such profound robes.

"Indeed, Captain. We all listen to you now. Whatever you say we should do, that is what we will do!" At this moment, another soldier from the Second Combat Regiment chimed in.
"What kind of relationship do you want?" She looked at him completely bewildered, thinking to herself that he was truly as unpredictable as the weather. He had been fine last night, but after a night's sleep, his endocrine system went haywire—what a supreme freak.
At this time, the twins' grasping ceremony had not yet begun. The Crown Princess and others successively removed precious items from their persons, having maidservants present them on trays to be placed upon the ceremony blanket, regarded as bestowing blessings upon the children.
"When you and Wang Ziye first arrived at my place, didn't I show you a letter? At that time, Wang Ziye felt somewhat uneasy after seeing this mark." Heiren, fearing he might have mistaken it, picked up the paper to confirm it once more.
Quietly clinging to the man, her gaze was hazy, somewhat shy, somewhat absent, and somewhat unwilling to think about anything at all.
Suddenly, that ghost general from before appeared out of nowhere, whispering something softly into the other's ear, which finally prompted the Punishment Division to recall something.
He didn't give him too much time to ponder the matter. Liu Xia thought for a moment and began dividing the spoils of war.
Since that was the case, things would be much easier to handle. Mu Chen straightened his collar and walked inside with his head held high.
The night passed without incident. The next day, just as dawn broke, Li Yujun woke everyone up. They washed their faces with confiscated water to keep their minds clear. The few of them strapped on their equipment and supplies, following Li Yujun and the provided map straight toward the rescue site.
"Impossible? How can this be? This was personally given to me by His Majesty." The imperial decree on the ground had already been unfolded, so when Lord Yunzhong saw it, he cried out in disbelieving disbelief.
And now, as long as he completed a single external rescue mission, Li Yujun would instantly become a lieutenant colonel, with the authority to mobilize half of the camp's forces—nearly a thousand troops. Such immense power could be described as reaching the heavens in a single step.

As Elder Muyingzhan spoke to this point, he readied himself to strike, but suddenly froze mid-motion, because he saw not a shred of fear in Li Dong's eyes.
Precisely because of this, Li Ruodan appeared fully confident and devoid of fear when facing Wu Shihu's questioning.
The Grizzly Bear had just been bashfully scratching the back of his head, but upon hearing this, he immediately lifted his chin, patted his chest, and flexed his outrageously thick arms.
Lin Huang's mood did not fluctuate drastically because he had long since had a premonition that his divine soul was the Heavenly Soul.
Regardless, Lin Huang's top priority was to ensure the safety of his parents and Ye Banruo and the others.
He had originally thought he would never cross paths with Wu Qingsi again in this lifetime, but since Ye Banruo had gone to the Taiqing Ancient Sect of the Wu State, Lin Huang figured he would sooner or later encounter Wu Qingsi once more.
Once the Palm-print Demonic Realm was unleashed, a terrifying devouring force erupted from the center of Lin Huang's palm, pulling in malevolent energies from all directions to form a cage, sealing the void within a radius of several feet.
