Chapter 20: Is the Male Lead About to Make an Entrance?

"Lone Vault, I have never understood why, among the forbidden techniques you imparted to me, I can use the final ultimate strike—'Arrow Piercing the Heavens'—without any issues, yet suffer backlash when using the other two?" Tianxin asked, puzzled.

Watching Tianxin’s astonishing sword strike, the golden dragon circling above Salsis let out a roar, refusing to be outdone!

Gradually, Mu Yan lost her strength. For a fleeting moment, she felt as if she were hallucinating. She saw Fang Biling and Feng Ziying on the shore, their backs turned to her, neither willing to reach out a hand to pull her up. Beside her, Liu Feixu was shouting for help, yet the corners of her mouth were curled in a bewitching smile.

The two lived in this lukewarm fashion for a week; she did not make a scene about returning to Xi Garden, but she also paid him little mind.

"Heh. Is this the result of your actions?" Feimi’s voice delivered this cold question; anyone hearing that sneer would feel a chill in their bones.

In a room within the villa, several men watched intently as Crystal’s silhouette appeared outside Lu Zhan’s room. Her attire made them frown; it seemed something had happened inside.

"Hmph, why fear him? Chang He is at the Martial Gate. With him there, I am at ease. I don't believe the Second Brother would dare to play any tricks. If he really did, I wouldn't mind getting rid of him ahead of time." Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth and was the first to spur his horse around the corner.

But there was no choice. For him to survive, Lan Shaofeng had to be the villain and tell Crystal this incredibly cruel news.

Out of thin air, a slender, fair hand reached out and effortlessly caught the immortal sword that was about to pierce Li Rou’s chest. Immediately after, Wu Hui’s body appeared inch by inch before her, his gaze cold as he stared at Murong Yu and the several Taoists of the Origin Sect.

For a super-large gang like this, to say nothing of anything else, the sheer number of members alone was vast; they always had to consider the safety and future of their subordinates.

The death of a peak-Heaven Realm hero stirred up massive waves. The two early-Heaven Realm fighters clashing with Song Ming were terrified, and even the old man who had been watching from outside the formation was enraged. He moved instantly, stepping into the formation.

In their feral state, the Scorpion Clan were even more terrifying than before. Each one was incredibly cruel, releasing horrifying sandstorms the moment they appeared.

For a man who was used to bossing others around and treating his subordinates like dogs, how could he endure this?

Under normal circumstances, once a Red-Wind Silver-Horned Beast used its agility skill, humans could never catch up; it would certainly escape unscathed.

Compared to their individual work, the communication in the coffee shop at this moment seemed even more important. Even if nothing was said, listening to the progress of other departments was highly useful.

Especially after White Butterfly’s defeat in her battle against Li Changlin, the feeling of regret in his heart grew even more intense.

However, one had to admit, using the soul to enhance the body in reverse—this is a method that I believe many would never have thought of, right?

"Amassing troops to command respect?" Wei Jie knew that Xie An was uneasy about Sima Xiuzhi leaving Jiankang and slipping out of his control, but on the surface, he still had to feign ignorance, asking with a hint of bewilderment.

Ye Qing’s right hand coiled the Great Dragon Spear around the Blood God, while his left hand cycled through several fire-attribute martial arts: first a "Blazing Sun Palm," then a "Separated Fire Seal."

"I am just letting you prepare yourself mentally. Besides, if Gaia refuses, are you truly going to marry into the Tolan Empire? The Emperor has decided to declare war on Sharobin, so he must first stabilize the people of the Tolan Empire, or even form an alliance, so the Empire will have no worries behind it," Sano said.

Yun Xiangtian rescued Liao Chunya and drove straight for the city gate, which was just beginning to open. Everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed they were safe. Feng Jiaxing, with his sharp eyes, saw Er Niu waiting for inspection.

Everyone nodded, thinking that this was indeed true. Shang Rong’s Shang Family Manor had been operating for years; how could he abandon his long-standing foundation to re-enter the martial arts world?

Sure enough, before long, a torrential rain fell, and the entire forest was instantly shrouded in a layer of water vapor. The damp atmosphere made everyone feel uncomfortable. What was even more detestable was that, due to the rain, the already complex Moge Forest was veiled in a white mist, obstructing their vision and making their journey even more difficult.

Leng Shihai subconsciously hugged Feng Buqian. Under this sudden shock, his consciousness became much clearer.

I went out the door and walked back along the path we had come. Because this place was quite remote, it took a long while before I could flag down a taxi.

As his thoughts raced, Tong Houzi forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart. If things had gone as expected, Fat Humpback had likely perished, as the puddle of red and white on the bedroom floor was proof of that.

Speaking of which, Jin Ling led the way into a room, and Long Wei followed closely behind.

This sense of urgency did not seem feigned, which made Gao Feng suspicious once more. If he wanted to see me, he could have just come to request an audience; why use such methods? Was he not afraid of achieving the opposite result? Or perhaps, was there some hidden difficulty?

Seeing this, some of the others just watched with cold eyes, but some busybodies also began to dig through the ruins. Not long after, they unearthed several corpses from the debris.

Yu Fengjiao felt more terrified the more she thought about it, wailing in her heart: Heavens, what had she done?

"Fine, since that is the case, the National Army wants us to prepare to go to Wuhan in three days... What troops are you taking?" Commander Mao asked.

"He is right; we have more important things to do. If you only want to chat with me, please head back, otherwise don't blame me for being discourteous," Shen Rouxue said, speaking up for Su Yi.

The government prohibited mining and smelting but did not oppose private iron casting. To a certain extent, this promoted the development of ironware and thus pushed the development of the entire society, which is why the Great Song Dynasty’s economy remained in the lead.

Parents and children should not be apart often, and so she and her husband should also have time together; after all, the children were all grown up.

Dongfang Ye did not return to the mansion, instead instructing Steward Zhu to tell Nanny Tao to look after the two children, and that they would return in an hour.
