Volume One, Chapter 84: The Civil Officials Stand Proud, Never Forsaking the Spirit of Great Liang!

Yongxing City, General’s Residence.

Qin Bao was stationed here.

After capturing Prince Zhong and Li Yan, Qin Bao had already instructed Zhang Anshi to send out numerous spies to keep an eye on the situation with the Xiongnu in the north.

While Xiao Wangyou and the other five were fiercely battling the Mountain Guarding Array of the Sacred Body Sect, in the Eastern Azure Dragon Realm, the other seven major Earth-level sects were also being visited by the supreme Heaven-level forces from the Ancient Demon Domain in the north, the World of the Divine Beasts in the south, the Kingdom of Faith in the west, and the Central Primordial Continent.

Li Tian, delighted by his newfound leisure, directly sought out Soul Racer and had him take him away from the range of the Battlefield of Combat.

As for those bandits, perhaps sensing Li Tian’s disappointment, they unexpectedly flew over in two identical crafts and landed right across from him.

Liao Youcheng, initially stunned by a slap, was about to lose his temper and give that rebellious woman a beating, but before he could move, he heard something that filled him with terror, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead instantly.

After this battle, the two battalions of infantry under Lu Zhishen and Guan Hu suffered heavy casualties. The surviving garrison forces, having experienced a bloody fight, were all transferred by Li Jin to replenish the two infantry battalions. Now, the task of rebuilding a two-thousand-strong garrison fell to Xiao Jiasui, a truly daunting challenge.

Given time, the man before her was certain to become a Da Luo Immortal. No wonder he was considered a major threat by the Celestial Lord.

Yiyi spoke up. With the buxom, cute girl absent, Zhou Yu felt a little less awkward. In this intimate setting with just the two of them, especially with Yiyi’s delicate and shy demeanor—her loose nightgown half open, revealing a blush beneath—it was hard not to sneak a glance.

A billion, even half a billion—such a grand production! Once they boarded this ship, their fame was bound to soar.

After marching for nearly half a day, the government troops from Yunzhou finally reached the marshes. It was already noon, time for a meal, but they had no choice but to steel themselves; the “Liangshan bandits” had already formed a strict defense by the water’s edge. Judging by their banners, it was none other than the chieftain of Liangshan.

Beneath the Hidden Mist Village lay a vast network of secret tunnels. Apart from the followers of the Lord of Shadows, no one knew the full extent of these passages. The Church of the Lord of Shadows was hidden within one of its secret chambers.

After all, whether two people could be together depended most on the foundation of their feelings. Besides, she disliked interfering forcefully in others’ happiness.

Still, she believed it was necessary for even the less fortunate beastfolk to have clothes to wear and food to eat. Otherwise, the city’s development would be fundamentally flawed.

“Master, please, don’t be rude to my teacher. This is a precious gift from him,” Yun Xiqian hurriedly grabbed Chu Tianhao’s hand, her expression still dazed, and pleaded anxiously.

She dared not reveal her true thoughts. Until she discovered the truth, she had to remain silent.

“No… cough, cough…” Murong Ling’s cheeks flushed red as a considerable amount of poison rushed down her throat, provoking a violent fit of coughing.

“Sixth Sister, seeing how unwell you are, shouldn’t you call for a doctor?” Jiao Yue asked with concern.

Did I give myself away? I just blurted it out instinctively with Qingzhi by my side. Surely… it couldn’t be guessed, right?

That person reached out, took the jade ring in his hand, gently rubbed it with his thumb a few times, then let go.

It was said that he was highly skilled in exorcism and upholding justice. If it truly was him, then this Su Lingyu was indeed suspicious.

Because of Jiang Yulan’s interference and schemes, all sorts of problems began to arise between her and Han Yifei.
