Chapter 86: A Sudden Turn of Events

Amid everyone’s gaze, Lu Ciying cried with moving pathos, gasping in great heaving breaths, so full of grievance that it seemed Lu Qingqing had done something to hurt her.

“Then if I marry the Ninth Prince, will you come, sister?”

“Lu Ciying.” Lu Qingqing’s eyes sharpened, and her expression changed with them.

The price of one hundred adult lives was steep, but if Xia Lu could be dealt with, he would be able to seize the crimson crystal in Xia Lu’s hands.

After this trial, Li Ruohuan’s temper had been tempered into something flatter than before, but at this moment her old disposition returned.

The cavern was held up by many stone pillars, each one bound with iron chains and ropes, the other ends of the ropes tied to people.

“Dog-son-of-a-bitch filth! So this is the Beast God Organization, is it? Fine. Very well!” Lin Guang’s eyes turned blood-red as he muttered the name of the Beast God Organization. Even as he spoke, a thread of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

She rose and walked to the window, pushing it open softly. The woods on the mountainside behind the inn came into view, and if one listened closely, there was the faint sound of water trickling nearby.

“Because there’s something wrong with her head, I suppose.” Lin Jiajia’s words were not meant as mockery toward Xiang Xuanrou; it was simply the conclusion she had reached after serious thought.

Gu Tiannan glanced at Tao Yan and gave him a look, meaning that perhaps they should come clean with Qingyuan.

This demonic cultivator had not lied. In recent years, the Ten Great Sects had not been satisfied with the gains brought by the secret realm that appeared once every three years, and so certain men with twisted hearts took the lead in entering the Nether River. Relying on the fact that the Demon Lord was absent and no one would stand up for those demonic cultivators and demon beasts, they used the pretext of “proving the heavenly way” to burn, kill, rob, and plunder.

The two of them were somewhat dispirited, and although the other three had not drawn so many connections, they still looked at him with resentful eyes after hearing those words of comfort.

A flash of purple light flared in Su Liu’s eyes. Wei Wuji, forced into a corner, had to reveal all of his hidden cards, yet Su Liu still kept his own cards tightly concealed. In truth, this was already an unfair battle.

The Divine One fanned the flames from the side, and no one knew whether he truly meant to save Xu Yu or simply wanted to add fuel to the fire. It was mockery from a Westerner.

Once the Divine One left, Fashaliya appeared at once, clinging to Xu Yu like a koala.

Just how powerful was she, really? What kind of energy reserve would be needed to remain so composed and effortless?

On the way, they parted with Hao Yingliang’s car. At two in the morning, they reached the talent apartments in the High-Tech Zone, grabbed what rest they could, then took a taxi to the airport first thing in the morning. The four became three, since Wu Na had to stay behind to look after Xin Xin and could not go to Hong Kong.

Suddenly, Keith, who held thirty percent of the shares, found his opinions being ignored, and the shareholders seemed to be bypassing the board of directors and showing signs of banding together.

“Are you really so pleased with killing a few useless trash?” said the man in the red robe as he threw back his hood.

Frank nearly tore out a few whiskers from his beard. Economic data affected everything; even the smallest shift could trigger a chain reaction, and that was precisely what economists studied.

Around seven o’clock, the streets that had slept through the night began to stir with life. Even on a weekend, many hurried pedestrians still moved to and fro in a constant stream.

Another chain descended, but this one did not lower onto the altar. Instead, it came down before Wang Yan and the others. What was bound to it was not some young and beautiful virgin, but a thin man with a somewhat sleazy look about him.

“What the hell are you teaching us for? Your move is prettier than all of ours. Brothers, tell him I’m right!” Yang Qi laughed.

Although Ye Ying had not contacted the theater circuit again, there were still many people in the industry watching her every move. The one most concerned, naturally, was Rhino Group.

Just after the preparations were completed, they saw thousands of sword threads pouring down like a furious storm. After a burst of ringing clangs, the jade rings and shields were directly battered into sieves.
