Chapter 122: Return to Yanjing

It suddenly dawned on me why the Emperor had bestowed a marriage upon Han Baimo and Su Qi. Once their union was finalized, Qin Yun would surely be heartbroken and disheartened, providing the perfect opportunity for someone to step in and take advantage of her vulnerability. This Emperor’s schemes were truly devious.

Falling into the hands of Cheng Wu and his men once more, she wondered if she would even survive to escape again.

After a long while, her slender fingers tapped out a series of characters, updating a status she hadn't touched in ages.

Yet, even the police department couldn't figure out who was backing him. Initially, they suspected someone from the higher-ups, but that didn't seem to be the case after all.

When those live-streamers grow old and look back, they realize that besides money, they have been left with nothing.

Ever since they exchanged new phone numbers and WeChat contacts after the engagement party a few days ago, she couldn't suppress the stirrings in her heart, feeling completely restless if she didn't check his social media updates every few minutes.

It was just such a coincidence that Yin Qingyu ran into them three times in five days, which infuriated the young master.

Since it was determined to court death, I would not be polite. Seeing it turn its head to bite me, I didn't even bother to dodge, simply raising my claw and swatting it away.

I suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Wang Ling immediately held me steady, asking anxiously what was wrong. I realized that after staying awake for so long, compounded by exhaustion and anemia, I was indeed feeling quite unwell.

Jiang Fuhai didn't look at me, and I preferred it that way—I hoped he didn't dare to. The incident at the Nanfeng Club was still fresh in my memory.

Walking into a restaurant, I saw two large characters posted on the door window: "Hiring." Su Lan thought for a moment, then pushed the door open and walked in.

In just a quarter of an hour, the first batch of martial artists who had entered the Sword Forest began to emerge one after another.

Looking around, the white tent fabric faintly exuded a familiar scent. The Sword Serpent was placed beside me, and my clothes had been changed to clean ones.

"Hehe, I was just worried about your leg injury. How is it? Has it improved?" Han Ningyuan's tone was filled with concern.

Wang Mu loved doing two things most: experiencing the latest skills and beating a stray dog. Now, he could do both at the same time.

After escaping the clutches of the "Crimson Dawn" heavy combat mecha, Lu Zhirong immediately rode a beam of sword light, flying toward Liu Chengxuan who was hovering in the air.

Wang Mu sighed, raised his hand, and fired a piercing arrow, finishing off the last hellhound.

Lin Chen couldn't afford to wait. In any case, hospitals couldn't stop a patient from acting on their own will, so he decided to ignore their objections and discharge himself immediately.

"Yun Cheng." Suddenly, Mo Yiyue pressed down on the hand Mu Yuncheng had placed on his shoulder. The stars in the sky seemed to bestow half their brilliance upon his eyes.

He had killed countless people in his life and had never missed a shot at such close range. The youth of the Mu family carried too many secrets; it seemed what Zhang Zhao said was indeed true.

However, given the current situation, Zhang Hao could not spare the time to deal with these matters, so they had to be shelved for now.

Three days later, when Xutuomi arrived at Dunhuang on time with 30,000 Wusun cavalry, Huo Guang led those 30,000 Wusun cavalry and 30,000 Hexi elites—a total force of 60,000—toward the Juyan tribe.

Immediately, Shang Buqu picked up the phone, dialed the office number, and ordered the office director, Luo Zhong, to come to his office at once.

"No, no!" Li Wu waved her hands repeatedly, seemingly flustered by Yun Qing's posture, her expression turning solemn once again.

Zhang Hao sat cross-legged on a cliff at Tiger Leap Gorge. A mass of extremely pure Yang light emerged around his body, shrouding him completely and making it impossible for cultivators of a lower realm to discern his true appearance.

Seeing this, Weilizian panicked, and just as he was about to land, he used "100,000 Volts" again, hoping to stop the opponent's attack.

"Let's see what they are like. The main thing is to see if they are poisonous." Lin handed the withered red grass and its roots to Qiu Ling, telling everyone that those red grass plants might be a hunting net; once inside, one would be entangled and struggle to escape.

At this moment, the expert appraisal team began to critique the emerald necklace. Judging by the clarity and luster, it was undoubtedly glass-grade jadeite. Given the continuous rise in jadeite prices and the craftsmanship of the necklace, the appraisal team gave this reference price, and it was a conservative estimate at that.

Putting aside the astonishment and fear in the hearts of those Green Flame Spirits, Yun Qing was the same. Once the enemy retreated, he immediately reached the side of the puppet. Because puppets feel no pain, Yun Qing could not know if the core soul essence of Ling'er inside remained unharmed.

To be honest, the psychological quality of the man with triangular eyes was quite impressive. He didn't care at all about the judgmental gazes around him and continued with his job change.

Perfected Lord Huanglong hurriedly dissolved the elixir to save the Martial King. Perfected Lord Yuding came to treat Ziya. Yang Jian and Nezha dissolved the immortal medicine in water and sprinkled it everywhere with willow branches. In an instant, the poison of the smallpox vanished. Truly: The poison of the pox began from this day; those who encounter it in later generations shall surely perish.

"So, have you considered the matter I suggested?" From Lin Wan'er's tone, Wu Xian clearly sensed her powerful confidence and control. His heart sank, and he tentatively asked again.

Kate spoke while retreating a few steps to recover the strength she had just expended.

In this kind of football match, there was no limit to the number of substitutions, but the substitution slots should be reserved for those who were physically exhausted to come off and rest. "Inhumans" like Zuo Lin, Mu Lei, and Chilom did not enjoy such treatment.

"Then it's settled. You must call me for the next operation," Zuo Lin said solemnly to Lin Dong.

The entire courtyard was incredibly breathtaking. The seemingly natural landscape gave Xie Shaojie an urge to take out his camera and scan the area, but without the owner's permission, he knew that if he acted on that impulse, the exclusive interview would likely be over.

In fact, Nie Xuan was well aware that this battle would be hard to win. It was highly likely that neither side would gain the upper hand, and perhaps the Glory Alliance would even suffer a loss.

Old Man Zhang originally wanted to come along, but since it had just rained and the mountain paths were slippery, Zhang Zhong and Xu Feng were worried about him, so he stayed at home.

The cement man was a rank-level ability user responsible for scouting for Xingtian's heist. His power was to merge into any medium he touched and travel through it.
