Chapter 66: Kneeling, No Forgiveness

Song Duanwu was left utterly speechless, wondering what kind of bizarre tricks old Lai had pulled to tame this wild horse so thoroughly.

Strolling toward He Hai's location, Jun Wuxia pushed open the door, stepped onto the very ground Ruoyu had walked across the previous night, kicked aside a three-finger-thick wooden stick blocking the way, and fell into a brief trance.

"While it is chaotic here, it also possesses a certain order. This place is controlled by major dark forces and formidable factions unknown to the ordinary world. As long as one acts within the permissible limits, there won't be too much trouble," the Soul Venerable said.

To earn others' respect, lacking personal strength was certainly out of the question. Being able to serve as a bargaining chip in someone else's hands indirectly proved that the Starlight Mercenary Corps possessed immense potential; otherwise, why would Director Gordon not choose the Downpour Mercenary Corps as a bargaining chip?

Suddenly, a cry of astonishment rang out from the head seat, which was Leng Yinghua's incredulous shout. Everyone immediately stretched their necks in unison: to their shock, he released the reins, braced his hands, and leapt lightly off the horse's back with a touch of his toes.

Sometimes, such direct commands were far more hurtful than any beating or humiliation! Knowing full well that her good intentions had led to disastrous results, Cheng Lulu obediently and gracefully walked over to Li Jingyuan, first offering a deep, respectful bow, followed immediately by words brimming with self-reproach and apology.

She was a princess, pampered and accustomed to luxury, and this was the first time in her life her safety was threatened, causing her deep terror. She was afraid that Guo Lin would provoke the Shadow Assassin, who might kill her with a single slash. Yet deep in her heart, there was also a faint glimmer of anticipation, hoping for a miracle where Guo Lin would save her. When her life was threatened, she could no longer afford to be arrogant.

Seeing that the commanders and deputy commanders of both sides were engaged in a "friendly" exchange, the members of both factions also relaxed. Although the possibility of combat still existed, at least it would not happen immediately, so there was no need to keep the atmosphere so tense.

"Hmph, that is precisely the terrifying thing about that thief Zhang Juzheng. He is doing this simply to make Your Excellency remember past ties, thereby preventing Your Excellency from dealing with him wholeheartedly!" Tai Fang snorted twice and said.

They were not only towering in stature but also possessed immense strength and formidable abilities. Adept at flight, every single giant was born with the power equivalent to a Xuanzun expert. Their only drawback to such robust physiques was their simple-mindedness, but this only held true until the appearance of Zachar.

Carrying a rich fragrance, the medicinal pill melted into a liquid of indescribable taste the moment it entered her mouth, flowing gently down. Lin Qiuhya marveled inwardly; this pill was indeed extraordinary—it melted instantly upon contact and even seemed to flow into her throat on its own.

"Wan" is one of Nanyang's earliest place names, reflecting both the geographical features of a "basin" and its ecological environment. The meaning of Wan: "high on all four sides and low in the center," which matches Nanyang's basin topography of being surrounded by mountains on the west, north, and east, while low and flat in the middle.

"You show me inexplicable favor and insist on taking me out—what on earth are you up to?" Seeing Dongfang Lengyu's abnormal attitude, Pei Donglai could not help feeling somewhat curious.

"Judging by the gathering direction of the dark clouds in the sky, it seems to be in the west. What on earth is happening over there?" Luo Ping could not help speculating.

Therefore, the personality Wu Ruirui had just described bore absolutely no relation to her whatsoever.

The Summoner was the most crucial class. Once the gauntlet-wielding player withdrew, all of the Summoner's summoned beasts rushed toward the Rampaging Blade Man. Together with the swordsman, they launched a joint attack against the Rampaging Blade Man. Even though the Rampaging Blade Man was a powerful boss, it could not withstand such an intense onslaught.

As one of the top-tier restaurants in the East Sea, the Tan Family Official Cuisine restaurant was packed not only on weekends but also on weekdays.

Luo Ping explained the reason why he had not participated in the competition, and immediately put forward a proposal, intending to take on all six candidate disciples single-handedly in a match.

"Damn it!" This thing was like a trap hidden in the pitch-black night, completely invisible. It gave no chance for evasion whatsoever, leaving An Lingxi and Ruirui behind me to frantically heal me.

"The mobile game 'Aina' is garnering increasing attention, and Mr. Kaihe refuses cooperation and acquisition. If things continue to develop this way, he will likely face threats." Seiji looked toward Kaihe again.

However, the situation had now reached a desperate impasse; it was not something he could sustain simply by wishing to. The men under his command were dwindling with every exchange, and he himself was firmly pinned down by two external-school martial artists. He could not understand why Orange Hall had so many external-school masters—could Chu Feihong be a disciple of the External Martial Arts Sacred Ground, the Sacred Body Sect?

Because the Tatars had pillaged and massacred throughout the capital, taxes everywhere else had been heavily increased, compounded by a severe drought that sparked rebellions across various regions. Furthermore, Japanese pirates were harassing places like Hangzhou and Ningbo, and the Nine Borders were far from tranquil.

Tonight's arrest operation was led primarily by the gendarmerie, assisted by the Political Security Bureau's action team and the First Office, while the Intelligence Department, Second Office, and Third Office remained undisturbed. Li Bangfan took the field personally, preparing to capture Luo Zeqian with his own hands. He knew that tonight would be a pivotal moment in his intelligence career.

This was a gaze of heartfelt admiration and awe; although it inevitably carried a tinge of jealousy, no one would ever question Ouyang Ming's forging skills again.

Because both parties employed the technique of invisible bullets, the entire process was unimaginably brief.

In Fang Ye's hands, this pair of demonic eyes possessed the capability to slay virtually anything, boasting an absurdly high degree of utility and versatility.

A prince who held both military and political power in his hands was exceedingly rare in this era, instantly imparting a mysterious aura to the surroundings of the Gui Prince's Mansion.

Exclamations rang out continuously; clearly, Celestial Master Zhang's earth-shattering remark had blown everyone's minds completely.

Over the past year or two, Cui Junyao had indeed acted somewhat impetuously, and she truly deserved a lesson to make her recognize her proper status.

Zhuang Shaofei curved the corners of his lips, looking at me with evident interest. Ripples danced in the depths of his eyes, carrying an ambiguous meaning.

Yet when Ningfan remained silent, she felt a slight panic inside, wondering if this bastard was hatching some wicked scheme.

"Sister Chou, let's head to the research lab first." An然 nodded toward Luo Bing, then spoke to Chou Yutao.

"You shameless she-devil, you'd better clean up your mouth! What seduction and un-seduction? Besides, who said he's your boyfriend? He hasn't even agreed to you yet! Furthermore, even if he is your boyfriend, if I, sister, fancy him, I'll snatch him away to play with just the same, humph!" Li嫣嫣 retorted angrily as well.
