129 If Route

Blood Flame Dao said, “Wait a moment. Once the clansmen have finished setting up the huts and we begin to rest, the Grand Priest will inform you. Right now, the Grand Priest must expend some magical power to establish a grand formation on this Dragon Miasma Barrier. With this protective formation, even if the Grand Priests of the Soul Feather and Gu Spirit clans come, it will be difficult for them to breach Longchuan within a month.”

“No need. I’ll go on my own,” Jing Ye stepped forward. The surrounding guards swiftly drew their blades and weapons, blocking his path.

What he needed to do now was lead his father and mother out of the danger zone and escort them to a safe area. Although they were far to the north, with his current strength, there would be no problem.

Saying that, he took a swift stride, leapt onto the iron gate over two meters high, then made a graceful jump, landing perfectly with a sharp “swish.” The Western Taoist landed elegantly.

Wukong analyzed carefully and thought Kangde’s method was quite good. However, during cultivation, it would likely be very arduous. Refining the body meant doubling the effort for half the result; hard work might not even guarantee success.

Meanwhile, the Death Butcher, who had yet to reveal himself, could no longer suppress the terror within. The situation had completely exceeded his expectations and was spiraling out of control.

“Ahem!” The Third Prince cleared his throat lightly, and only then did the bandits react, suddenly springing to their feet.

Feeling the warmth transmitted from his hand, Jin Shi’er’s sorrow turned to joy, her tears drying into laughter.

Mei Xun’s expression was unsettled, yet he acted with integrity and said calmly, “As long as Jiang Yu agrees, we will accept your betrothal gift.”

Shuten Doji was pushed forward by a masked man. With no choice, he forced himself to step up, shouting loudly, “Since you insist on courting death, don’t blame me, the Ghost King Shuten, for unleashing slaughter!” Saying so, he clasped his hands, formed hand seals, and chanted spells. Immediately, a tempting aroma of fine wine filled the air.

“They’re too weak in their legs and feet to descend—that’s exactly our chance. We can go down first,” Yu Sheng said.

“What does Master Gu mean by that?” Zhu Qing asked with a dark expression. He knew full well that the other party was deliberately making things difficult, but now, because of a shortage of silver, they were completely at the other’s mercy. That feeling was truly unpleasant.

Yu Sheng hurried over to check on Murong’s condition. Murong was not poisoned fatally but sat on the ground weak and powerless.

Strangely, the cook who had been standing near the table did not attack the panicked escorts. Instead, he leapt backward like a falling leaf, flying several feet away, disappearing into the shadows of the night.

“Nangong Linyi, you’re so pathetic. Just one night apart, and you miss her so much, lacking any self-control,” Nangong Linyi scolded himself in his heart, yet still longed to seek out Ouyang Yingqi.

After a long while, seeing no movement outside the window, Chen Ergou finally mustered the courage to glance out. Outside was now completely empty; no ghostly shadows remained.

Pamela blinked in disbelief, staring at the baton stuck in Feng Can’s neck.

Chen Yu gave Zhu Qing an annoyed nudge. She was reluctant to give up her achievements and also reluctant to part with Nasha, who had brought some surprises. After spending so much time together, such feelings were natural.

At this moment, the Dragon Spear suddenly vanished. Having slept for so many years, it was clear it had yet to regain its full power.

Peter disliked beating around the bush. Seeing Yu Ziqian’s expectant eyes, he wordlessly reached out and unbuttoned his own shirt, solemnly placing it into her hands.

His Majesty the Emperor, the Bishop, and Captain Roland took their seats. The princes and ministers followed suit, and thus the final match officially began.

“Mother, I am well now. I am blessed by the Heavenly Star, always able to escape danger. You need not worry,” Prince Ning patted Da Huang. Da Huang jumped to the Empress Dowager’s side, coquettishly nudging her with his head.

“Or else what? Do you, hero, wish to teach me a few moves?” Before Chen Mufeng could finish, Li Hui interrupted coldly and decisively, with a hint of teasing.

“Master!” Nezha called out but said nothing further, as he could find no other words.

“That’s right. This is indeed pure Red Refined Iron essence, weighing ten jin. I guarantee its quality with my reputation,” Yang Deyuan said calmly, then returned to his seat.

The usually clever and proud exile, why could he not find someone capable to shoulder the responsibility at such a time? Why had they fractured into scattered fragments in such a short period? Where had the past unity gone? Where had their former resolve vanished?

That time, it truly emptied our household; we had to borrow tuition fees from here and there for the children’s schooling.

On the Chan Sect side, still holding the Chaos Bell, they wished to leave but could not; they had long been surrounded by Master Wuchao and several great demon saints.

Miss Zeng chuckled at this, and Mei Zi and Lan’er laughed along.

He once secretly vowed never to let those close to him depart before his eyes again, yet now, it seemed nothing had changed at all.

Then Colonel Tracy answered “Yes” and left the mayor’s office, personally leading a British Royal Army battalion, a field artillery platoon, and an African black servant corps. They boarded a dozen large trucks and set off grandly toward Ji’asabu.

During the battle between Doulabo and the British forces, the British troops in Asabu town tried to send reinforcements to Colonel Tracy. However, as soon as they left the town, they were ambushed by forces arranged in advance by Li Junhao, suffering the loss of about a platoon. Terrified, the town’s defenders dared not send out any more troops, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

After dealing with He Yong, Wang Zhen glanced sideways and spotted another middle-aged man sitting nearby. Without hesitation, he delivered a flying kick.

Seeing the Chinese Awakening Military District was near, if the Stone Giant advanced any further, the entire military district would be lost.

Don’t say it won’t affect the medicine’s efficacy if it’s sullied; even if it did, this pill isn’t worth three years’ salary.
