Chapter 97: Explanation

“Ah! The Grand Princess! Then what about my background...”

Ye Cheng felt as though a bolt of lightning had struck him; his head was ringing, and terror rose in his heart.

“Grand Princess, spare us!”

“We’ll never dare do it again.”

...

“It’s fine. That sort of thing is useless.” Li Lingyi said with confidence. He had already guessed Tywin would try to talk them into surrendering. That old fool must think everyone feared the Lannisters, that everyone in the city was being forced by him to hold the walls.

Because they needed a full day to prepare, the two sides agreed to exchange hostages and cargo at dawn the next day in the forest outside the city.

“Since the two friends are leaving in such a hurry, why not come inside the tavern for a drink and a chat?” said a square-faced cultivator with thick brows, dressed in the garb of the Ghost Cleaver Sect, with a faint smile.

It was the resourceful Third Prince who, in time, offered a plan to the emperor, who was tormented beyond measure: he would go personally to parley as bait, while secretly bringing along the elite divine soldiers trained by the Li Residence, and seize the Desert King with a sudden surprise attack while he was off guard.

With a loud bang, it was trapped inside by a sand-and-earth shell that had suddenly appeared, and no matter how wildly it rammed and struggled, it could no longer escape.

After laughing uproariously and admiring the explosion, Cat Bro began infiltrating the base from within. But Cat Bro did not activate optical camouflage. He simply charged straight in, deliberately making sure the guards would notice that he had broken into the base.

And this time you were even more ruthless—using your speed advantage so casually that you might as well have been playing that elite ninja in the palm of your hand! Was there really any need to be this high-profile? Was there really any need to show off so shamelessly?

After a long silence, the long-haired black-haired girl finally laid down the long blade in her hand, sat down before the campfire, and said nothing.

Niu Gao was one of the few divine archers in the Sizhou Army; he immediately loosed a rapid three-shot volley, and every arrow struck home.

So with an invisibility jade slip, or with an artifact that could evade divine sense, one could indeed achieve perfect concealment. Then, when fighting cultivators of the same level, one would hold a tremendous advantage.

We arrived at Zhuang Tomb and got out of the car. One glance was enough to make Wang Hong and me feel a tightening in our chests: water, all water; mud, the ground was all mud. There was no road to walk on. It seemed there had been a flood some time ago and this place had been submerged, so after the waters receded, the ground was left completely sodden.

Throwing yourself so busily into work really will keep you from thinking about all those random things.

Even when he first saw the seven-colored radiance spilling from their hands, Linghu Tianhai had not thought much of it, only assuming it was because the seven-colored blazing-fire mark he had planted on Xiao Yumiao’s hand had resonated with the mark on his own hand.

“By my reckoning, it should be the fifteenth day in the mortal realm by now.” Huang Yujin swept his sleeve, and the chessboard vanished, replaced by a pot of wine.

I felt a chill run down my spine. Thank heavens we hadn’t eaten the blood monkey’s flesh then, or by now there would surely have been three corpses, hollowed out and gnawed clean by maggots from the inside.

After saying that, I hurriedly pointed toward the watchtower and told A Gui to climb up. The cave was five or six meters high, and the square fortress tower was more than four meters tall. I had him climb up the tangled spiderwebs and see whether he could get them down.

He saw himself throwing his head back in wild laughter. He saw himself fighting Daoist Master Tai Xuan. And when he saw himself risking his life to rescue that six-tailed fox demon, only to be opposed by Daoist Master Tai Xuan, hot tears unexpectedly began to slip slowly from the corners of his eyes.

All of this trouble had been brought about by that prodigal brother of his. Now he had to take the blame for him, but this was no time to worry about that.

The darkness around them remained, but that helpless sensation of weightlessness had vanished. Xiao Yumiao quietly turned the five-element energy within her core. Good. It was usable.
