Chapter 46

Akio Yoshino swung his blade and led his men forward to meet the enemy. It was not because of any deep-seated loyalty, fearlessness, or confidence on his part, but rather that under the overwhelming pressure of authority, he dared not be the first to flee.

Naturally, "she" referred to Zhu Yingying! Just moments before, Qu You had harbored a completely different guess, but hearing now that he still had her on his mind, a new set of speculations arose within him.

Walking inside, he immediately caught sight of Shen Luofan sitting on the bed, and Shen Manting half-reclining upon it.

Duan Feimeng raised his sword to block. With a crisp clang, Zhen Menghu’s longsword shattered into pieces. Another flash of cold light erupted, plunging straight into Duan Feimeng’s chest!

As it turned out, when everyone regained consciousness at that moment, they discovered they were in an uncharted valley within the Nameless Valley. Gazing up at the starry night sky and breathing in the fresh air free of sulfur, mingled with the earthy fragrance of decaying vegetation and rich soil, they suddenly realized that they were, after all, still alive.

He forced himself to pick up a couple more mouthfuls with his chopsticks, but ultimately gave up. Dumping the food away, he boiled a simple bowl of plain noodles instead, barely managing to get through the meal.

After entering, Lin Ruoxi turned to Yingjun and said, "Yingjun, sit here for a moment. I'll go get some medicine to tend to your wounds." With that, she went off to find the medicine.

The letter rested in the hands of the Azure Hawk, Shangguan Jumu. Only a single sentence was written upon it: "Brother Shangguan, we wish to recruit you into our faction; what are your esteemed thoughts on the matter? — Mapo Tofu of the Zhuge Gang!" Just because of this single sentence, why was the Azure Hawk, Shangguan Jumu, so deeply worried?

Mei Aoran might only have been guessing, but hearing this caused a stir in Qin Gu's heart. He glanced once more toward Mo Langyue, only to see him still staring intently at the meat bubbling in the pot, as if he hadn't heard a single word of what they had just been discussing.

Perhaps the other two carriages would not be easy to track, but the carriage Park Hae-jin used was far too conspicuous. This gave Bu Luofuo and Xiahou Yinxue a renewed glimmer of hope, though their doubts far outweighed their expectations. After all, if Park Hae-jin had switched carriages, why would he leave behind such an obvious trail? Could it be another trap?

Such a state of mind completely obliterated everything concerning Tuoba Hong—whether he hated her, punished her, or no longer favored her, none of it mattered anymore.

Matsui Iwane was in the midst of deploying his strategy against the National Revolutionary Army when Hu Changjin’s battalion, heavily armed with light and heavy weapons, was in the middle of passing through the British merchants' storefronts.

Yet his reaction only deepened Ning Zhe's suspicions. One had to know that he had deliberately tried to provoke Leng Yuehua's anger just moments before, intending to observe the hidden motives behind Leng Yuehua's participation in this Four Seas Assembly.

Deng Meng of the Longyan Garrison, He Qizong of the Yongan Garrison, Ding Daoyong of the Changting Garrison, Chen Guisheng of the Qingliu Garrison, Zhang Quan of the Ninghua Garrison, Shen Suping of the Liancheng Garrison, Liu Fagui of the Zhangping Garrison, and Wang Beisheng of the Gucheng Garrison.

Xi Zixuan glanced for the Nth time at the wounds on Ji Liunian’s body, then looked over at Ling Yichuan, who was sitting beside her.

However, I had no idea he had looked at those things—those utterly agonizing scenes. On the eve of his wedding, a man witnessing his bride with other men, who could possibly endure such a thing?

"Thank you, Lady Shijian." Zhang He and Tiechui accepted the teacups and offered their thanks in unison. Shijian had truly gotten them out of an awkward situation.

Luo Dailin himself was a medical and bacteriological researcher. When he visited Britain in 1935, he had even met his peer Alexander Fleming and had heard a thing or two about penicillin.

"Commander-in-Chief, leave the recapture of Hailanpao and the Sixty-Four Villages East of the River to our Fifth Group Army!" Guan Linzheng understood the implication behind the words. He knew the Commander-in-Chief harbored a deep-seated hatred, but that vengeance had to be exacted by his own subordinates.

The vital essence was sprayed directly onto the bodies of the nine fire dragons, instantly turning their forms a deep purple-black. The initially gentle alchemical flames surged into the sky, forming a massive azure sphere of light in mid-air.

"Why didn't you mention it? You said you wanted to let the murderer run back?" Ningxiang stared fixedly at Zuofeng with absolute certainty.

Long Yuling's room was washed in a pristine white, and the air was filled with a peculiar, indescribably comforting fragrance. Zihan walked up to the sleeping couch and, through the sheer gauze curtains, caught a glimpse of Long Yuling's appearance. It felt intensely familiar, yet try as she might, she could not recall who it was.

Today is the pivotal battle of this Dao-Discussion Assembly, the birth of the top three, to see who ultimately holds the balance of power.

The giant python, its pursuit hopeless, let out a heaven-shaking roar of fury into the sky. The ancient trees blocking its path crashed down one after another in rapid succession at the sound.

Amidst the all-encompassing darkness, a flash of purple light suddenly darted across. The light vanished in an instant, and the feathers that had previously surged with immense power throughout the sky turned into ordinary feathers, completely devoid of any lethal force as they drifted lazily downward.

Yet the expected attack never materialized. Duan Ke watched as Rujia’s terrified expression slowly began to fade away.

The massive fire hovered in the mid-air of the night, looking deeply mystical and bizarre. The lighting on the rooftop of the dark Galaxy Building had previously been rather dim, but once this colossal ball of fire appeared, its blazing brilliance immediately illuminated the entire area as bright as day.

Nearby, Jiao Yiqiu and Ao Xushan naturally chimed in with loud agreement, their laughter blending together in a continuous wave.

Beast-skin blankets could spare them from the harsh elements, but they were hardly an absolute necessity. On the contrary, Liu Ye had to deal with the matter at hand. His younger brother had been crippled, and if an older brother failed to stand up for him, how could he possibly continue to lead the hundreds of men under his command?
