Chapter 120: The Breakthrough

“Stop talking. I won’t believe you. If you had really intended to get me out, you would have done it long ago, just as you did last time. But all you cared about was saving yourself.” Qian Wangzu glared at Qian Wangcai in fury.

“Hmph. Without me… could you have raised yourself? Without me, could you have gone to school and driven a good car the moment you graduated from university? Without me, would there even be a Qian Wangzu? So what if you did a little something for me? Qian Wangzu, you’re utterly ungrateful. I raised you, and in the end you betrayed me!” Qian Wangcai stared furiously at Qian Wangzu. “I was this close to getting out of here. This close…”

“You really did kill someone. The person outside Lin Corporation Tower a few days ago—you sent someone to kill him, didn’t you?”

Beneath the overturning of heaven and earth, all things in the world were reduced to ashes. The higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the more intense the terror brought on by this upheaval of heaven and earth would surely be. To ordinary people who had never cultivated, however, the sensation merely made them feel somewhat oppressed; it would not inspire true fear.

He flicked his fingers again and again, and with every snap, sword aura burst forth, shooting across like a furious storm.

Yes, a true man being… handled by another true man—a huge, fat one at that. If word of this got out, how could he ever go on living?

Ren Woxing let out a long howl and stamped heavily on the ground. His body shot into the air, and he pounced toward Yun Yi like a great eagle swooping upon its prey. His hands formed claws, and the Star-Absorbing Technique had already been unleashed.

“Understood, Sir.” Systrom immediately went to make the preparations. As the saying went, if you were driving one sheep, you might as well drive two.

Led by the old butler, they passed through a long corridor and finally entered the main reception room.

There were several muffled groans, followed by the sound of heavy bodies hitting the floor and being dragged across it. The next moment, the world was quiet.

“I wonder what it is that True Man Su wishes to discuss with me?” Emperor Yi said with an amused smile. Even the way he referred to himself had changed, though as a prince of the Great Qian Celestial Dynasty, such a form of address was only natural.

Yet before the decisive battle, Apis once again “lost his nerve.” Having learned in advance that Antony had arrived, Apis established a camp along the coastal road, raised high walls, and built a watchtower every ten paces and a camp every five, adopting an unmistakable posture of rigid defense.

“Me? What do you need me to do?” Letty pointed innocently at her own face, looking completely bewildered.

“Huh? The teleportation was off. A mistake, a mistake. Comrade Jitian, you’re on your own now.” Mending Heaven suddenly spoke. There was a trace of confusion in his voice, as though he himself could not understand why the teleportation had gone wrong.

He understood that she wanted to spare herself, but he could not bear to lose her forever. He could not forgive himself.

When he spoke of the three families, he was placing Jiang Liaoran with the Zhou family, Yuan Qingta with the Zhao family, and Hua Jitian with the Li family.

“You know, there were plenty of horse sellers on the streets of Bianliang in those days, and fine horses were not difficult to find. Of course, all those horses came from Great Song, and they were utterly incomparable to the horses beyond the northern passes of Great Liao. They were even less worthy of comparison with the Crown Prince’s Black Steed.”

The most important matter now was to study Blood-Burning Yang Restoration. Only by increasing Hua Jitian’s own strength and making the Mending Heaven Sect stronger could they face the storms that lay ahead.

The bowl of noodles did not look particularly appetizing, and Jiang Guangguang had originally assumed that Cheng Rongjian would refuse to eat it. Yet he did not complain in the slightest, merely eating it in an unhurried manner.

“You’re welcome. I’d like to give you one of my own company’s projects as well, provided you’re willing,” Gu Qin said.

I lifted my eyes and saw Zhuang Shaofei’s face grow even paler, making his eyes appear all the more moist and crimson.

Earlier, when the Lame Man told me about gathering yin, I had not understood. So that was what it meant—to draw all the wandering ghosts and lonely spirits from the surrounding area toward one place.

Yan You looked at him, shuddered all over, and quickly withdrew her hand. She sat up straight, not daring to look at him again.

This area was not only a major grain-producing region but also a commercial center. The canal encircled it, giving control over the waterways.

The Demon sat coldly atop the high platform. With so few people, she could not possibly have staked everything on this one gamble. She must still possess some unknown force. Frowning, he signaled with his eyes to Yuchen beside him to remain calm and wait a little longer.
