40 Enemies on a Narrow Road

Lei Zhentian, fighting ahead, caught a glimpse of this scene. He immediately forced his enemies back with a few strikes and lunged toward Yan Yue’s carriage. But the assassins would not let him leave so easily; in an instant, four or five of them swarmed toward him.

"Has Sister Luo not returned yet?" Xu Furong could not help but ask Qin Tian softly, observing his bored expression.

"A lot has happened today, and I don’t have much free time. Come to my office, and we can have a proper talk," Deng Yang said indifferently, knowing full well why Chen Jitian had called him.

Hearing Liu Yiyi’s words, Qin Tian felt a bead of sweat forming, but upon recalling the formidable bodyguard detail he had seen when traveling to Hailing, he felt relieved.

A fleeting obsession scattered with the wind. In the very end, all the beautiful and ambiguous scenes and sentiments were nothing more than a pipe dream woven by one’s own mind. Created by the heart, perceived by emotion, transformed by consciousness... For some reason, what Bai Maonu felt at this moment was not bone-deep sorrow, but a profound, all-encompassing sense of release.

"Wa—" Ling Moxuan suddenly burst into loud sobs. "You are all liars, all of you! No one loves me, no one—" After shouting this, he ran toward the stairs.

"Go to hell." Hearing Qin Tian’s words, which were clearly meant to mock her, Gongsun Laiyi, already on edge, finally exploded in fury.

Three stone Buddhas unleashed their unique techniques upon the lake, the momentum so immense it seemed they were determined to strike Jian Ran dead at the lake's bottom.

This reminded Xuanyuan Xiao of how he had nearly been killed by the essence blood of the Mo Peng just moments ago; it had been a brush with death. He had not lost his temper but instead approached this negotiation with good intentions. He hadn't even killed half a person yet, and had nearly met his end—how could he not be furious? Had he known, he should have been more decisive.

He was quite confident, but when Murong Liuyun held the blueprints and listened to Xiao Yueshi’s explanation, his forehead was covered in black lines.

Zhou Ziyan and Jiang Xueyan cooperated throughout the journey, resulting in several brilliant moments.

Everything had been a pre-planned scheme before setting the trap for Zhou Yu, and the flood provided the perfect timing. Three days ago, Li Zhe had already had Lu Meng and Zhu Heng brought to Jiujiang City.

"Reporting to Your Highness, when this servant came to deliver the message, the Prince had just entered the main gate of the estate," the maid replied, keeping her head low.

Several furnaces were burning in the hall, making it very warm, and everyone had removed their robes. Yet, at that moment, waves of chill surged from the depths of their hearts, leaving them shivering from head to toe.

After Zhuge Liang, Li Zhe, Zhou Yu, and Zhao Yun returned to the capital of Jiangling, Li Zhe ordered Zhuge Liang to draft a marriage proposal for Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun knelt and thanked him, saying, "Many thanks to my Lord for your favor."

"Very good." Although the man in the gray leather coat already knew all this, out of concern for his own safety, he couldn't help but ask again.

Back at the hotel, Ma Qian'an reported everything he had heard and the details of his conversation with Shi Daling to Ren; this was organizational discipline that had to be followed.

"Damn it!" Christina could not help but curse. She hurriedly turned her head again, but this time, she only caught a glimpse of a dazzling red light emanating from the palm of the right hand Ryan had extended toward her.

However, this mode had a limitation: the closer one's connection to the subject, the less susceptible they were to interference. Thus, George and Tova spotted Crow immediately, as did Angelica, who had just finished her equestrian performance.

Zhao Dancheng exchanged a look with his second brother, then glanced at the bottle of Vitality Wine in his hand. The look meant: "Well? Is there any problem with the medicine you obtained?"

Hu Jing and the others had a clear objective: they came here to absorb the essence of the Star Alliance’s cultivation system. Although it was relatively fundamental here, it remained crucial to them.

Zhou Feng’s move to Leiguang Hall caused quite a stir in the main hall, but the news didn't spread further down. Of course, no one knew what had possessed him, but his eccentric temperament was well-known, so no one took it too seriously.

When Lin Huzi recited the various data points, he didn't even pause, his eyes glowing with a sense of pride, though his expression dimmed immediately afterward.

The next moment, the two god-tier experts leaped into the air. With "bang, bang" sounds, they exchanged seven or eight blows in an instant, rising higher and higher until they disappeared into the sky.

However... Xiao Ling parried with his blade, the web woven by the Thousand-Strand Calamity Array expanding and then contracting, bouncing the man away once more.

Perhaps this was the difficulty of going from luxury to frugality; in his previous life, aside from cultivation, he had been free of distractions, enjoying a life he had never experienced before.

Meanwhile, 11 nations of the League of Nations were planning to form two massive joint fleets to launch an attack on the Imperial Navy of the Chinese Empire and seize command of the sea. However, as the plan was still under discussion, the naval vessels of the Ottoman Empire had not yet been requisitioned by the joint command headquarters.

The Grand Elder still placed great trust in Yang Chen, so he brought the jade slip containing the body-refining technique that Zhou Sheng had brought down from the Immortal Realm directly to him. Originally, Sect Master Wu had intended for the Grand Elder to present it only if he failed to move Yang Chen, but the Grand Elder chose to hand it over immediately.
