Volume 1, Chapter 49: Rotten Flesh Hell 6: Solitary Swan's Shadow

Moreover, the one uttering such treasonous words was none other than the future Grand Preceptor deeply trusted by His Majesty. Yet this future Grand Preceptor seemed entirely oblivious to it, maintaining a calm and composed expression.

"Yet, when Lord Yue Jian perished, otherworldly demons struck once more. And when the Human Sovereign Jiutou Shi fell, otherworldly demons struck yet again." At this point, Tai Yi's expression grew intensely cold.

Following this period of contact and observation, she had become thoroughly certain that no other forces or individuals existed behind Zhong Tu. Every thought and subsequent action stemmed entirely from Zhong Tu's own volition, including the capture of Chidori Kaname and herself.

Although various everyday signs had led them to make certain conjectures, when Tai Yi actually spoke the words aloud, a lingering sorrow and a sense of disbelief still remained.

"Terrifying Howl." Dale's voice seemed imbued with a bizarre, eerie power, piercing directly into the depths of Zhang Muyang's mind.

"Since that is the case, my husband and I will not disturb the two of you any further." Murong Hongzhuang pulled Zhang Ye along, preparing to leave. They certainly had much to say to one another in some quiet spot.

Leaving Li Xuanqing behind and offering a few words of instruction, Zhang Muyang prepared to depart. The Ten-Thousand Flower Valley Blessed Land was not urgent; with Li Xuanqing stationed there, absolutely no problems would arise.

Turning to look at Yuding's hands and feet, his nails were sharp and slender. Moving to stand directly in front of Yuding, Zhang Muyang reached out and lifted Yuding's chin. One could see that Yuding's eyes were completely bloodshot, glowing with a reddish hue.

The place Akemi had chosen was a foreign-run café near Roppongi, a meeting spot selected in advance by Reina, who had arrived earlier. The moment Akemi and Chiba stepped into the café, Reina immediately raised her hand to signal her location.

"I'm very glad to meet you too, Yokoi-san!" Reina said happily. To be honest, the feeling of being all alone at school was far from pleasant. Although Reina knew it should only be temporary, she still disliked the sensation.

"Seventh brother, your sister-in-law has already apologized to you, hurry up and accept the toast." Seeing that Xu Huange's attitude was proper, the older brothers and sisters of the Luo family urged him on, fearing that if Luo Chen refused to give face, he would lose his standing.

On the stage, Su Li held the song sheet and played two pieces, exhausted to the point of cramps in her hands, while Luo Chen chatted and laughed merrily with Ji Mucheng down below.

Luo Qing felt as though he could no longer hold his head up before Liang Nuannuan, yet divorcing her would mean losing face before her as well. He simply had not yet made up his mind and needed some calm reflection on how to balance his current predicament.

Xia Shiguang choked back a sob, looked up at Qiao Xia, and pulled her forcefully into her embrace, holding her tightly. Only by doing so did things seem to feel a little better.

Upon returning to the living room, Qiao Xia caught the aroma of food. She walked to the kitchen entrance and looked at Tang Yu. She did not know how to cook, nor had she ever thought of learning, yet the men she knew seemed to be able to cook effortlessly.

If Su Mujin had the capability to live a better life on her own, that was simply Su Mujin's own ability, and at least far superior to her past life, was it not?

"What's the situation?" Wang Si asked immediately upon seeing this comrade. He was worried that something might have gone wrong on Chu Huaichen's end; if that were truly the case, their troubles would multiply, and he had to find a way to resolve it first.

Seeing her remain so bland and indifferent even after finishing those words, Shangguan Jinglan felt a heavy blow strike his heart.

Mother Luo hurriedly answered, inwardly delighted. After exchanging pleasantries with Head Steward Ming, she saw him off.

Qiao Xia chose to ask, as she was still unclear how much her second brother remembered. After all, her second brother was much older than her; she had chosen to forget due to unbearable trauma, while his condition likely stemmed from that car accident.

After the banquet began, there would be a ball, at which point he intended to ask Annie to dance with him.

"Name your price." Lin Feng mentally prepared himself. He knew that assassinating one of the four sons of the Fang family was no effortless task.

When he finally recovered his composure, he realized that the Wuliang Sect had already made a move against his own Huoling Sect.

This sight caused the eyelids of many members of the seven major clans to twitch involuntarily. One must know that spirit stones were like rechargeable batteries, capable of being recycled and used repeatedly. But now that they had been shattered into powder, using them again was naturally out of the question.

Qingfeng fell silent after saying this, selectively ignoring the alluring gaze directed at him.

On this day, a purple Qi suddenly came from the East, and unusual fragrances fell from the heavens. Lotus flowers formed from spiritual energy drifted down across the boundless primordial land, followed immediately by a majestic might of heaven and earth pressing down upon all living creatures of the wilderness.

"Summon Li Yuanzhong!" Xu廉 shouted at the top of his lungs. No sooner had he finished yelling than he clutched his chest and began to cough violently.

Fan Lihua remained silent for a moment before uttering, "Let's go take a look!" With that, she strode toward the Northern Camp entrance.

Yet all he could do was cultivate diligently, striving to contend for the position of Sect Master at the upcoming Zhengyi Dharma Assembly and reclaim the immortal-ascending secret method whose existence remained uncertain.

The Ziyi Clan directly closed the door on any negotiation, making it clear not only that they were determined to meddle in this matter, but also that the fault lay with him, not the Martial Dao Sect.

No one could have expected that this "Crown Prince," notoriously known as a dissolute prodigy, would actually pull it off. When Zhao Fengshun proudly announced the cooperative intentions discussed between Zhao Anyun and Longcheng, the high executives of the Zhao Family Group showered him with wild flattery.

Ren Yixux felt a shock rippling through his heart, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes. Did such wondrous living beings truly exist in this world?

There were no famous historical sites in Xia Family Village; there was only a large, three-courtyard compound once owned by a landlord that had been confiscated and later reclaimed by his descendants after years of maneuvering.

Then, nine pillars of light each emitted a beam, connecting to Zhang Cuishan's body. One could see lights of various colors flashing across Zhang Cuishan's body from head to toe before finally vanishing.

And the words Xiao Jie spoke next made it even harder to understand what business tycoon Zhao Fengshun was actually trying to achieve.

Taking advantage of the moment, Chen Wei walked over to the window and looked outside. It turned out to be just a passing vehicle; Cheng Zhenghai had not returned at all.

"Let me go!" Unable to wrench her hands free, Chino felt despair for the very first time, feeling so deeply grieved over a man for the very first time.

I picked up a large rock from the ground and threw it down. After waiting for a few minutes, I still heard no sound of anything hitting the bottom.

"If I hadn't heard that my foolish son suffered a terrible loss, why would I have rushed over here in such a hurry?" Tang Qingfeng casually flicked a toothpick, which shot into the darkness and vanished, before speaking with a look of "profound worry."

As time passed, everyone realized that it was not a patch of land at all, but a colossal, boundless continent crushing down toward them. Regardless of how they attacked, their spells and divine abilities merely kicked up a cloud of dust upon it.

I was merely thinking that the hour was getting late, and since Fourth Master Chu had said he would come tonight, why had he still not shown his face by now? Could some mishap have occurred?" This was precisely what troubled Xie Ke deeply.
