Chapter 34: She County’s Golden-Thread Amber Honey Dates

Old Master Hong was truly a master craftsman. Not only did he teach them everything he knew, he even demonstrated his special skill of cracking walnuts and extracting the kernels whole. Jiang Yuan was eager to try. She failed again and again, unable to extract a single intact kernel, but her competitive spirit remained undiminished. She kept tapping away with the little hammer for nearly an hour, until her hand grew tired and she finally gave up.

“Grandpa, this really isn’t a skill that ordinary people can master. I surrender. I’d better just film you cracking the walnuts whole. Grandpa, my mother is on Tik...”

This was a tranquil valley, pure and beautiful. The magnificent gray mountains split it cleanly in two, neither shifting an inch from their destined course. Some said this division had been ordained by fate, for without it, the Great Gray Valley would never have existed to inspire the world’s awe.

And yet the terrifying aura still raged unchecked, so horrifying that it filled the heart with fear and plunged all who sensed it into despair.

“Yes~” After hearing this, the three men composed themselves. Their faces were filled with mockery and cruelty as the soul power within them erupted and poured into the steel swords in their hands.

“There’s no need to trouble your friends any longer. I installed something on your phone. They won’t be able to track our location.” Ji Yuncheng seamlessly picked up the conversation. He did not believe that Du Ruomeng would be unable to track them through the phone. That left only one possibility: Du Ruomeng was pretending to be clueless as well.

Jiang Ningshuang knew he was making excuses, but after everything that had happened, she had no reason to doubt Wang Lin. Thus, she did not pursue the matter. After all, some things only became more contradictory the more blindly one insisted on investigating them.

After repeated, in-depth investigations, it was confirmed that the two men were relatives of the president of Aide Hospital. They had attempted to reap enormous profits by seizing supplies, reselling them illegally, and engaging in similar acts.

Immediately afterward, Xiao He dropped to both knees, bowed three times toward the thatched hut, rose after wiping away his tears, and ran after them, vanishing into the dense forest.

At that moment, a fierce black figure came charging toward him at astonishing speed. Its entire body was slick black, and its awl-like fangs were hideous and terrifying as it raced straight toward the sword-wielding youth.

Ren Shangxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. He turned the cigar in his hand upright and pressed it against the sofa. The flame pierced through the leather and burned a large hole.

The people of the Guanghua Sword Sect were so excited that they could not speak, especially the several great cultivators at the Deity Transformation stage, whose entire bodies trembled with barely contained exhilaration.

Unfortunately, the Water Venerable would never understand this principle. He still believed that there was simply something wrong with the spell.

“I came here to gather intelligence. I haven’t accomplished anything yet, so how can I just let the matter end like this?” Qin Feng said with a solemn expression, his brows furrowed.

He had obtained with ease what he had once racked his brains over, leaving him with an unreal, dreamlike feeling.

“You’re from the Jinling Arsenal?” Before Yao Zhiliang could finish speaking, Qin Feng asked with a frown. He had already noticed the words “Jinling Arsenal” embroidered on the soldiers’ sleeve patches, which was how he recognized their identities. In reality, these soldiers were merely guards from the Jinling Arsenal.

With a crisp clang, the twin halberds in Gu Yue’s hands became tightly locked against the long sword in Yu Liuming’s hands. When Yu Liuming tried to withdraw his sword and step back, he discovered that the Frost凝 Sword in his grasp had been locked in place, utterly immovable.

They could often carry out large-scale maneuvers across hundreds of miles, making it extremely difficult for the enemy to anticipate or defend against their attacks.

However, after a century of development, the geopolitical character of the independent Loho had by then become essentially Thai, much like Sukhothai, although Khmer and Mon people still served the regime.

After observing matters for several days, Zhao Xian was quite satisfied with the state of the Western Frontier Army. He therefore summoned Wang Shuang to him in private, and together they discussed the army’s future direction of development.

Chenliu, however, did not fall under Liu De’s jurisdiction. Primary responsibility belonged to the governor of the commandery. Now that Governor Xiang Rui lay unconscious, Commandery Lieutenant Zheng Longjiang was the highest authority in Chenliu City. Should Liu De obey Zheng Longjiang’s command?
