Chapter 49 Unexpected

Most people would not bother to watch what he was doing, yet there are always idle individuals who pay attention to such irrelevant matters.

However, Zhou Qiang could not understand why Bai Yunyi had gone through such painstaking efforts to find the Demonic Star, only to desire its death now.

After a long while, once the Demonic Emperor Chi Yan had walked far away, Bai Yunyi finally stepped up to Zhou Qiang and used a damp towel to wipe the blood from his face.

"Isn't this just a friendly spar between disciples of different academies? Why do you both look happier than the New Year? Even if we secure a ranking, what good will it do us?" Ling Xuan asked in confusion, noticing the overjoyed expressions of Yihan and his companion.

Which of King Wu of Zhou or Emperor Gaozu of Han did not seize the empire from the back of a horse? Liu Bian resolutely swam against the current amidst the Yellow Turban army, scheming for nothing more than the accumulation of momentum.

The nightingale slowly bent down to pick up the handcuffs. Just as she was about to cuff her own wrists, her movement suddenly changed. Catching Falcon off guard, she hurled the handcuffs like a projectile, striking precisely toward Falcon's eyes.

"Wait! Why does this tree look so familiar to me?" Xiao Long seemed to recall what the tree was, but for a moment he could not be certain. The next instant, the leaves on that tree shot toward Xiao Long like flying daggers.

Under Zhang Hongfan's command, the Yuan forces charged in from all directions, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Zhang Di's flagship.

The number of Yuan troops was no greater than that of the Song forces, but their valor and combat strength were worlds apart. The Song army's breakout attempts failed one after another.

Chiluo's words made the blood of all the cultivators boil with excitement. What does it mean to fiercely protect one's own? This is what it means! So what if the Guan family ran amok in the imperial capital? Upon coming to the Divine Martial Academy, weren't they slaughtered mercilessly like lambs on a chopping board? With such a Supreme Realm powerhouse backing them up, what else did they have to fear?

Night gradually fell. Outside the city, Xu Mingwang instructed his subordinates to make preparations. Tonight at the second watch, he intended to seize the treasure and commit murder. Neither the pockmarked man nor Xu Mingwang knew that the Xu residence currently harbored a formidable star of disaster.

"I am here to mediate, and also to interrupt your pleasant business. I wonder if you few are satisfied with this explanation?" Zhou Wutian said in a steady tone, matching the cadence of the man in the black robe—utterly flat, unhurried, and even slightly sarcastic.

Liu Dingtian asked straightforwardly, staring intently into the greenish eyes of the Azure Wolf Demon King. Now he was the one wielding the cleaver while the wolf was on the chopping block; there was nothing he needed to hesitate in asking.

This left me waiting for them and missing dinner, just as I was about to make a call, they both informed me one by one that they would not be returning today.

"Brother Zhou, why are you here?" Seeing Liu Du being dragged away, Liu Dan felt a great burden lift from his heart.

Originally, the chamber of commerce was merely a loose cooperative, formed together simply to pool the franchise fees. Now that they had scattered separately, naturally there were no constraints binding them.

Someone at Lu Liang's level would have no idea what had actually transpired within Thousand Mountains Town, which was why he considered Zhou Wutian merely a peer superior to himself, whom he would sooner or later surpass. However, Zhou Wutian couldn't be bothered to argue with him over such matters.

"You are Su Yi of the Su family?" the old woman stepped forward and asked. Previously, she had assumed Su Yi was merely a talented trainee picked out by Hua Xin, failing to recognize him immediately as Su Yi of the Su family.

"By your implication, the fault does not lie with them? Rather, it is the servants of my estate who are too incompetent?" Prince Zhou narrowed his eyes and asked with considerable irritation.

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed. Chang Yuchao waved his hand to dismiss the minor officials, and the main doors were bolted shut. The main hall grew gloomy, heavy breathing echoing in the empty space as if a storm were brewing.

As for the feud with Jiang Zhen, there was temporarily no time to deal with it; exploring the secret realm was the priority.

"They came because of me. Spare their lives!" Su Yan wanted to find out their origin and did not wish to slay them just yet. Since they had made such a grand display to track him down, they were most likely of great importance.

Rouge's heartbeat stopped. At this moment, she truly could no longer feel her own heartbeat. All she could perceive was the sweetness surging from all directions—a flavor sweeter than honey, so sweet that she felt she might melt from it.

Yet Lu Yu had no desire to listen to whatever he was saying, instead casting his gaze toward the divine clan man surrounded in the center of the arena.

Feng Jingyao hurriedly dispatched his steward to the Li family, but the steward returned empty-handed. After the morning court audience the next day, he wanted to seek out Lord Li to inquire about the situation, but Lord Li, who had previously been on intimate terms with him, gave him no face whatsoever this time.

"Fight for our conviction! Fight for our conviction!" the soldiers shouted aloud. By now, the atmosphere beneath the stage had been driven to a climax.

Aside from the four cardinal directions of southeast, northwest, the boundaries in directions such as the southeast and northeast were all seas of dense fog.

The eldest young master of the Duke of Dingguo's estate felt that Su Cong's analysis was reasonable, but the matter of the Marquis of Beining's heir being injured also had to be cleared up. In case someone harbored malicious intentions, no one could guarantee that the heir would be lucky enough to escape unscathed next time.

The figure in white nodded, the plants wrapped around the long sword releasing their hold and instead entangling Jian Ye, dragging his body down into the earth.

Ye Ning nodded. Wu Yaoqong was truly a lord of his age, capable of bending and stretching. Wu Qiansheng was far too cunning; no matter what, Ye Ning could not rest easy allowing him to reside within Illusion City.

As for Shi Yong, while the Rock Clan's offensive methods were indeed lacking, they shouldn't have been weak to this extent.

"Make your move!" Seeing Lan Qianyue charge forward, the man showed not a shred of anxiety, coldly barking an order to those beside him.

Lan Qianyue smiled and paid the big brute no further heed. Whatever she wanted to do, however she chose to do it, and wherever she went—all of it was her own freedom.

She knew that if she failed to deal a ruthless blow once more, no one would ever take her hard-earned authority seriously again.

A flicker of disdain crossed Lan Qianyue's eyes. Glancing at the fierce man, she shook her head and spoke. Having just consumed the Hunyuan Pill given by Mo Chenfeng, her cultivation had advanced and her strength had greatly increased, so naturally, she held no regard for this fierce man.

Still, feeling somewhat more confident now, Jiang Lijun felt quite pleased. If these matters had been investigated sooner, he wouldn't have had to debase himself so much before Guan Chuqi.

As for that jade slip, it recorded a marvelous location within the Hegemony Secret Realm. This place was marked in purple by the Red Dragon Clan, with the two ancient characters for "Forbidden Ground" inscribed beside it. Ye Ning pondered that if the opportunity arose, it might be worth exploring.
