Volume 1, Chapter 61: The Next Chapter Will Surely Be High Energy!

Wen Ling said nothing.

Qianqian helped her to a quieter spot to sit and rest, while two manservants shielded her to prevent her from being jostled by the crowd.

Dizzy for a long while, she finally recovered.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Wen Ling turned her head and smiled at Qianqian.

"You scared this maid to death!"

"How can this be laughed at? It is merely the behavior of a food lover encountering something they dearly cherish," Guo Xin offered a graceful way out.

Thinking that there was truly a mountain of tasks to handle today, and looking at the three soundly sleeping figures, she reached out and shook them awake.

It seemed that the Hundred Immortals Alliance had made extensive arrangements within this Corpse Demon Pagoda, and many secret agents were likely still hidden throughout this space.

Big Ya looked at her uncle sitting in the seat of honor, her hatred and anger reaching their peak. It was precisely this couple that had sucked her family dry, driven her parents to their deaths, and now even wanted to sell Second Ya and Third Ya.

Why play the game of assassination? If they were going to play, they should play the game of strategy. With the Crown Prince's overwhelming advantage, he could easily crush these censuring officials by sheer weight alone.

"This subject has lost his composure. This subject thought it wasn't? Does this look like discussing state affairs?" Cheng Zhijie muttered with his head lowered, unconvinced rebellion written all over his face.

And now, having slaughtered members of these two families as well as a powerhouse at the seventh level of the Qi Condensation realm, not only would such a feat not be praised, but there might even be people plotting how to take his life.

You must assess the situation carefully. If Dingping has already been conquered, you should hold the city gates and strategic passes to secure stability; if nothing has been gained, immediately fall back to Kangzhou to plot your next steps.

"It's nothing more than rape, plunder, and pillage. Let alone us knowing about it, even if His Majesty were to find out, he probably wouldn't turn hostile against others for the sake of a few villagers. What is the point of you crying out here?" Gao Yuan said helplessly.

Li Chengqian raised his head, his calm gaze meeting Li Shimin's eyes directly without the slightest trace of fear, and said, "..."

With people coming and going in this lobby and countless eyes watching, who could openly walk into her room and then walk out the front door with a living person?

After meeting, Qian Xian and Fang Yunjie greeted each other. Just as Qian Xian was about to ask Fang Yunjie for help, she heard the news that he had joined the Prince Mu's Estate.

It felt as though she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to untangle the knot in her heart no matter how she tried. She could only deliberately ignore it, though it was difficult to truly bury.

Not only her hands, feet, and limbs, but even her eyelids refused to blink. Apart from her heart still beating and her mind still functioning, she could not move a single other thing.

Claire went upstairs with a clatter as soon as she finished speaking, showing not the slightest hint of gratitude in her attitude. Upon reaching the upper floor, she was not met with much welcome; only a handful of contestants greeted her very politely. In truth, they all thought Claire was simply—brainless?

With a bang and a clatter, his flying sword was knocked out of his hand, while his entire body was once again sent flying backwards, crashing heavily against the wall with a thud.

The Third Concubine's face turned ashen white, and it seemed she wanted to say something. However, upon catching sight of Steward Liu's rigidly expressionless face, she had no choice but to swallow her pride along with her broken teeth, sitting down bitterly while growing much quieter.

At this moment, even the Shadow Great Sage sensed the anomaly. He looked up toward the surroundings, seeing that from countless light-years away, any luminous star or continent—anything visible to his naked eye—seemed to be projecting its radiance toward this very place.

Tang Yu curled his lip with a calm and indifferent expression, reached out casually, and firmly grabbed the leather whip. Then, extending two fingers from his other hand, he directly pinched the blade of the broadsword between them, instantly completely neutralizing their combined offensive.

Though simple words, coming from the lips of the Boundless Immortal Venerable, they were exceptionally inspiring and thrilled many people. Being able to receive a single word of praise from the Immortal Venerable was an supreme honor in itself.

Therefore, he decided to first deal with this granary. After wiping out all the Qingfeng Mountain bandits within it, he would head to Qingfeng Mountain itself to eliminate all the bandits remaining upon the mountain.
