Chapter 148: I Am Truly So Frightened

The streets of the capital city are generally wide, yet their carriage traveled through narrow alleys, flanked by residential houses and sparsely populated.

Seeing their silence, Wen Yueqing continued on her own: "There is medicine for injuries at the Third Prince's residence, along with a resident physician. We certainly cannot call for other doctors in the city; the physician at the prince's residence is the safest and most reliable option."

"However, rest assured, if you wish to leave once your wounds have healed, I will speak to the Third Prince. He will certainly let you go." Fearing that these two might misunderstand her intentions, she explained further...

"Regardless of anything else, you are not to go to the company for the next few days. Listen to me, or I shall be angry," Lu Yan said coldly.

By this time, Takenaka Shigeharu did not even consider the existence of the Ema clan in his eyes. The Ema family were not mere salted fish, but they no longer possessed any chance of turning their fortunes around.

He stood to one side and had already offered a solemn warning about the current situation. If he had not already arrived here, he would never have waited for matters to unfold as they have, though it was likely that the coming days would offer far fewer benefits than before.

Drawing his polearm, he swept it horizontally as if to block Mu Chou. Sensing the wind of the blade beside him, Mu Chou sidestepped, parried with his long sword, pulled back, and retreated, eyeing Old Man Xing and that Hall Master Zhu with a cold gaze.

Time flew like an arrow, and a day passed in the blink of an eye. Mu Chou stood up to bid farewell to all the military officers.

To reach the rank of Archbishop or Bishop, one's intelligence must at least be at the baseline, no matter how incompetent they might be.

People came and went, trading blows and techniques, until it was midnight. The martial arts grandmasters nearby were fine without food or water for days, but their disciples lacked such abilities, so they rested first.

"What? What is the fourth kind?" She looked at the rabbit spirit, her expression having turned blank from overwhelming shock.

The world of flame was rent by cracks from the thunder, while the world of thunder was burned with gaping holes by the world of flame.

Lu Yan had done him such a great favor that it was only right for him to help Lu Yan in return. Besides, he did not consider this a troublesome matter; as long as Lu Yan told him the plan, he would simply follow his instructions. He also trusted that Lu Yan could handle this matter well.

There was no doubt that Gu Xinghun had been possessed, but who could say if the possessor and Gu Xinghun were not just acting? What if they actually knew each other?

This was a magic treasure almost exclusively designed to restrain the demon race. The mere mention of it being impossible to resist ignited the hearts of all the cultivators. If one were to purchase this Beast-Controlling Ring, would it not mean immediately gaining a Void-stage Great Demon to work for them? Its value far exceeded that of any spiritual artifact.

Qiuqiu immediately raised its tail and wagged it twice. Wan Miao spoke at once: "Remember these scents. See which direction they went?" As he spoke, he raised his right hand and gestured a few times. A blue light flashed in Qiuqiu's eyes, and it immediately began sniffing the ground and running toward the side of the road.

Shentian practiced the Yin-Yang Dual Extremity Hands incessantly, each strike growing more powerful than the last. After a while, he moved on to practice the Formless Yin-Wind Legs.

The Western Xia had invaded the Great Song on three fronts simultaneously with hundreds of thousands of troops. How much manpower and resources had been expended? Yet, just as it seemed the Great Song had little strength left, Li Liangdu had suddenly retreated? And judging by the tone of Zhong Shidao’s letter, it seemed that Li Liangdu had even taken the initiative to propose peace.

Hearing Yang Mei'er's voice, Xue Ming felt a jolt of surprise and stopped in his tracks involuntarily. Was Yang Mei'er unaware that he was coming, or was she feigning ignorance out of shyness?

Without the command of the staff camp, the Holy Radiance Army troops on the battlefield could only judge for themselves and act according to their own discretion.

In Li Huai's recollection, whether it was himself, his sister, his wife, or his sister and brother-in-law, none of them seemed to have friends who were incapable of speech. Who could it be?

As Wu Yingying spoke with Director Liu and the others, the van had already driven from the mountains into the downtown area of Yecheng, heading straight into the compound of the Ministry of State Security.
