Volume One, Chapter 109: The Concert Scandal (1)

Wen Xuyu absentmindedly touched her belly, gave it a light pat, and then went downstairs.

Ever since the institute went on vacation, she had been staying in Xuan Shui Bay, her daily world narrowed to this one small place: eating, sleeping, reading, cutting flowers, and little else...

"Xiaoyu, off to the greenhouse again?"

Having been away from home for so many years, Huang Zhenhu did not recognize these servants, and naturally the servants did not recognize Huang Zhenhu either.

Qin Chen strode at the very front, and some people could not help but frown at his seeming lack of tact, while others merely smiled with an inscrutable expression.

Especially after finding Qingwu Patriarch, the old Daoist who claimed to be the foremost expert under heaven, Lu Min was filled with even greater confidence. He believed that with such a master at his side, once he assassinated the emperor and seized control of the military, who would dare refuse to submit?

Fortunately, Chancellor Jiang had long since prepared for this. He reported the matter in private, all the while putting on a look of concern for Liu Dan, saying that Pingzhou was bitterly cold, that not even a single intact house remained in Qiuling County, and that, leaving the refugees aside, who knew what had become of General Liu?

"Then shall we begin now?" Qin Kai asked Lin Yifeng after seeing that he had accepted the suggestion.

He really had little to say to those cousins from the Ning family. Over the years, only Ning Siguo from his second aunt's branch had managed to get along with him decently.

The few of them were being forced backward by the monsters toward the train. Somehow, the train's windows had turned into enormous eyes, and the doors into monstrous mouths packed with sharp teeth and writhing tongues, as though waiting for prey to feed itself into their jaws.

Huang Xuanling could no longer sustain flight. Man and spear alike plunged into the abyss below, like a falling star.

The dark crimson dragon crashed down upon the distant earth. It rose at once, only to realize that the impact had caused such severe injuries. Recalling the sudden assault from moments before, that fierce and overwhelming blow seemed to carry unimaginable force, leaving it in disbelief.

Madam Liu had no appetite at all. She guessed that before long her master would come with even more elite experts, and even if dragon liver and phoenix gall were boiling in the pot, she still would not be able to swallow a bite.

Under the bright moonlight, the glowing object finally came into view, revealing its true form. It was two blades—two crescent sabers gleaming white, their cold light sharp and bone-deep.

As the essence blood entered his body, in almost an instant a violent, almost feral rage spread through Liu Chen's heart, and his eyes turned blood-red in that same moment.

The second floor was where Xiong Zhangqing and Li Songda lived, and they were also among the first leaders to go out and meet the enemy.

At the sight, Xiao Qingya's delicate body trembled, and she sank heavily to the ground. Suddenly, her heart felt unbearably weighty, as though it had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

However, only a very small number of people shared Wang Xin'er's view. Most had never witnessed such a scene before, and instead found it thrilling.

How had he, who only moments ago had been angered by Xiao Yao's behavior, changed his attitude so abruptly, and even thanked that rude fellow who had shown such contempt for the Murong family?

"You haven't got water in your brain, have you, Brother Shen?" Ouyang Hua said as he reached out a hand toward Shen Muyu's head.

This left him overjoyed, once again strengthening his resolve to cultivate under Xiao Yao. But now, that joy had been completely replaced by rage.

Su Li gave a wry smile and thought to himself: What do they mean, "in a sorry state"? I was still fighting bravely and quite handsomely on the battlefield, wasn't I?

"No wonder Boss Cheng was wounded so badly by him, but why would he treat Boss Cheng with such cruelty?" Gao Jie frowned slightly.

"Kill!" the men of the Great Sun Sect roared in fury, and then their lunging bodies crashed toward Nie Tian like a crushing wave.
