Chapter 121: It’s Nothing

The guard shouted sternly, ordering Lu Qingqing and the others to disembark from the carriage for inspection rather than allowing them to pass freely.

Lu Qingqing’s brows furrowed deeply.

"Fugitives involved in the assassination attempt on the Emperor are on the loose; everyone, be on your guard."

Fugitives?

Was that not the assassination attempt by the Eastern Glory? How had it become a matter of fleeing fugitives? Lu Qingqing had no way of knowing what version of the story had been spread.

...

"With your culinary skills, a restaurant would surely be a success. But opening one here, I’m afraid... You know what 'Katz Star' is like. The people here don’t have much spending power, and opening a restaurant requires a lot of capital. First, you need a location, then you need to..." Fu Huaqing rattled on at length.

Xu Jie was left dumbfounded, his hand trembling so much that the drink he held sloshed, spilling half of it before it reached his lips.

But Xu Wei saw it clearly: Ma Jiu and his group were intent on a death struggle to rob them, yet this was something Xu Wei could turn to his own advantage.

Xu Wei nodded and went to check on Wang Dahai, whose condition had clearly improved significantly.

...

Time passed, and Guan Jingyi eventually stirred awake. She found herself in a wooden cabin where a stove burned fiercely. Beside the orange-red glow of the fire, a hunchbacked old woman was busy at work.

"We cannot be certain of that, but judging by Officer Xie’s tone, I believe that is what he thinks," the boss replied.

The dire part was that Wang Bing had nowhere to hide. This was trouble; old Wang had boasted too soon.

"I know you still hate me. I understand, and I don't blame you, nor do I have the right to. If you don't want to acknowledge me as a friend, I have nothing to say, but you really don't need to pretend you don't know me!" Jiang Hu said.

When he finally regained consciousness, he realized he was plummeting, his hands grasping at empty air.

Gu Qianqian chuckled. She was right; Zhang the Silver-Tongued relied on fortune-telling for a living and could not afford to argue with them at his doorstep, lest the neighbors see.

"A divine servant of the Lord would never submit to another. If you want to kill me, come and try. I want to see just how much strength you truly possess and whether you can actually end my life," Filius roared in fury.

Gazing at the earth-shattering, eerie thunderclouds on the horizon, Ye Wushuang was not only stunned but suddenly realized something, his expression shifting to one of sheer disbelief.

Beyond the comprehensive surveillance covering every angle inside and out, he had also installed alarm systems on all doors and windows that could allow entry.

Three: The restriction on handheld equipment is lifted; there will no longer be a distinction between two-handed and one-handed items, and all equipped gear will take effect.

...

Every elder felt as if their hearts were bleeding, having essentially given away two "tri-attribute" martial artists just like that. Meanwhile, Elder Lei and his companions were overjoyed; they had gained two such warriors for nothing and were certain to be rewarded upon their return.

Thinking of this, the sense of worship in Cao Bangxiong’s heart grew even stronger, and he became all the more desperate to witness the peerless grace of this Mr. Wu with his own eyes.

Ba Shi Feng let out a sharp cry, his star-forged armor shimmering with brilliant light as he struck the Gold-Swallowing Star Tiger beast with a single blow.

After speaking with Luo Tian, Mo Yu continued deeper into the Tomb of the Martial Emperor. Everywhere they passed, they encountered the corpses of the dead.

Those branches were also imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the density of that power far exceeded the Heavenly Dao of Earth.

In the quiet room, the voice that suddenly sounded from behind startled Yuecheng Miyano, though his reaction was far from slow.

Since Guliang Song had brought this news, it meant that this so-called land of misfortune did not actually contain anything inexplicable. If there was anything at all, it was merely the manifestation of human greed and malice.

It could be said that this was half a joke played on Cheng Ye, but it was also a wish of Er Bang’s—though he did not know if this wish would ever come to fruition.
