Volume 1, Chapter 64: Making False Accusations

At that time, Tian Baiqing was simply overjoyed that his illness was finally going to be cured, so who would bother to look at the physician’s expression? However, as the primary wife, Xu Fenghua, she noticed this secret and pondered in her heart why the physician’s face would turn beet red while prescribing medicine.

Old General Yan let out a silent sigh in his heart. Although he had long passed the age of confusion, he now inevitably found himself somewhat perplexed: why had the iron-blooded royal army, which he had painstakingly cultivated for years and which was once invincible, withered away like a brilliant epiphyllum in just a few short months, leaving behind nothing but scattered branches and fallen leaves across the ground?

That shadow, which had originally been running as fast as flying, suddenly seemed to be snared by something. Its speed was forcibly slowed down, and for a moment, unable to check the momentum of its upper body, it actually staggered and fell.

Xie Ming’s ability was fully displayed, and the high-ranking figures of Jiyang no longer dared to look down upon him. Zhang Dali and Yuan Qi also had no choice but to admire Xie Ming and the Xie family behind him. Having operated in northern Qi for decades, the Xie family possessed not only profound wealth but also cultivated numerous economic talents.

He utterly dismissed Tong Guan’s plans and arrangements in one fell swoop, showing not the slightest bit of courtesy to Tong Guan. His purpose was to let all the gathered generals clearly know who the true decision-maker of this Northern Expedition was.

The warships had a deeper draft, with light boats scouting ahead to prevent them from striking reefs. Fortunately, the fleet had been sailing close to the coastline; should severe weather strike, they could make preparations in advance to minimize losses. Even so, by the time they reached the Malacca Strait, more than twenty warships had already been lost.

"On the watchtower of the Eastern Depot, go and see for yourself. If you are late, I am afraid they will have finished celebrating," Leng Buyu said indifferently.

Who I am is not important; what matters is your son. Originally, I intended to slaughter your entire family, but someone stopped me. He had your son starve to death on the streets. I do not know how your son offended that person—even execution is just a clean stroke to the head, so why insist on starving someone to death? The visitor continued.

Struggling to prop up his body, he crossed his legs to meditate, yet he could muster no strength and his vital energy could not be circulated. What was he to do? This was only the first relapse, yet it was already this agonizing; the days ahead would truly be unbearable to endure.

"Lord Fox Immortal, then please take care." The tiger wagged its tail, bade a reluctant farewell to Yunhe, and then leaped into the jungle, vanishing without a trace among the verdant mountain ridges in the blink of an eye.

"But it is also the most cruel," Lan Linhuan's subsequent words immediately choked back my modesty.

Therefore, the two of them maintained this distance of tens of meters, weaving through the forest. The one in front did not dare to stop, while the one behind pursued with desperate determination. I know not how long had passed before Mu Chen could almost hear the sound of his own heart beating rebelliously within his chest.

Startled back to his senses by a gentle pat from Mu Chen, Bo Le saw the brilliant light in his eyes dissipate, ceasing to deduce the formation of this volcano. After exchanging a glance with Mu Chen, he cast his gaze toward the still soundly sleeping Scarlet Flame Beast.

Among these people, the leader was a martial artist, merely at the introductory level, but that was quite enough to bully those ordinary people.

The patterns on the full moon wheel resembled two intertwined giant dragons, and the sharpened blade's edge emitted a faint, chilly light that instilled fear in anyone who glanced at it.

Viewed in this light, she really had misjudged him. She never expected that he could utter such words purely because of this. It truly chilled her heart somewhat.

"How did you know I was in trouble?" Although feeling somewhat ashamed, Xuanyue still voiced her confusion.

If one were to say that Mu Chen was a broadsword wielding with sweeping, powerful strokes, striving to make the enemy pay a heavy price and suffer severe injuries with every single blow, then Bo Le was like a dull knife slicing away at flesh. Although each individual wound was minor, the accumulation of those subtle injuries was sufficient to cause a person to collapse and die.

At the corner, she once again encountered the young woman who had previously bumped into Shen Yunxi and spoken insolently, but she did not stop and instead rushed straight down the stairs.

And this fat man turned out to be none other than the upstart who had shared a flying vehicle with Wang Xiang and the others when they first arrived at the Fourth Star. Back then, he had framed Wang Xiang and his companions, causing them to be hauled away by the local police station before they could even report to the Sixth Military District, and ultimately even provoking people from the Fourth Military District, such as the Yu family.

The spider flickering with lightning said feebly. Yang Hao clearly sensed that its vitality had dimmed to the extreme, and it would age and die here before long.

Zheng Zhilong said, "This is bestowed by the Emperor, and this subject dare not decline. I am merely filled with trepidation, and first, on behalf of this unworthy son, I thank Your Majesty!" Having spoken, he pulled the child down to kowtow together in gratitude.

He was an outstanding special forces soldier, the absolute top-tier kind, yet he had failed to sense anyone's sneak attack, and by the time he realized the danger, he was already airborne in mid-air.

"Get out!" When Chen Dongsheng arrived and heard the matchmaker speak such words, he casually picked up a shoulder pole resting by the door and raised it to strike the matchmaker, but was stopped by Chen Yu.

Yang Hao pushed upstream against the shockwave left in the wake of the shattered offensive, his black robes snapping violently in the gale, though he had already subconsciously braced himself to receive a second palm strike.

The three of them looked at Wang Da-chuan, thinking to themselves that indeed, why bother worrying about others? Perhaps they themselves would kick the bucket one day.

Ye Zheng recalled that although he did not know her name, Teacher Liu was definitely referring to the son of her eldest uncle, Liu Qing. In ancient times, he would be the crown prince, the most legitimate and rightful direct-line heir.

Suddenly, a dark shadow silently broke the surface of the water behind the chubby man, looking from afar like a drifting log floating quietly beneath the chubby man's feet. Upon closer inspection, however, that log slowly parted a giant maw like a beast hunting for prey.

Wang Zhen looked at Li Yan-yang with a hint of gravity, as if saying that he still suggested listening to him.

The patrolling spirit bat immediately took the lead to search inside, while Yang Hao and Ming Sheng wound their way through the spirit bat cave.
