Chapter 44: Something is Wrong

Anyhow, as Dianny burst into loud laughter following his hands-on-hips and chest-pumping gesture, everyone else gave in and broke into unsuppressed, roaring laughter.

However, after the old emperor died, the throne passed to the then crown prince. Less than five years into the new emperor's reign, the realm underwent drastic upheavals.

An Hui simply assumed that she harbored a deep detestation for the Southern Frontier, and since Annian had entrusted herself to the wrong person, it was only natural that she was unwilling to mention her husband from the Southern Frontier. Now that Annian was back, if she wished to remarry, there ought to be proper procedures in place.

To this day, Xie Jing was still unwilling to recall the events of four years ago. Four years ago, he sold his factory and orchard back home, and followed the address Annian had left behind, only to find that she had long since moved away. Xie Jing waited there for half a month, and having failed to wait for her return, he finally gave up.

The intricately carved pillar galleries, heavy and profound wooden doors, and exquisitely textured ceiling of this floor matched the red-and-green contrasting sofa, deep brown wall decorations, and flooring without any sense of discord, exuding a luxurious and classical atmosphere.

Liang Shan had originally been asleep, but upon hearing intermittent talking sounds drifting from the main room, he simply pressed his ear against the wall since he had been awakened, and shamelessly eavesdropped.

Even though it perfectly matched his aesthetic, it would have looked far too conspicuous on campus, so he finally opted for the kind of electric skateboard commonly used by designated drivers.

Ye Chen could not help but feel a sense of fortune in his heart; thanks to obtaining the Wanderer skin, otherwise he would have been practically blind in a place like this.

One must know that having roamed the pugilistic world for so many years, relying on his signature Kunshan Soul-Locking Seal, he had fought virtually across the world without a single match.

Perhaps he might... truly have been evading pursuit, only that this evasive behavior was not particularly clever.

Yet precisely such a misunderstanding robbed me—whose heart was already riddled with scars and utterly devoid of hope—of the courage to face him.

With him putting it this way, leaving felt wrong, and staying felt wrong. After pondering for a moment, I ultimately had to obediently sit down on the sofa and wait.

Continuously wiping away the blood flowing from Sizhen's nose and mouth, and sensing that faint, barely perceptible breath, Huamei finally could not help but break into loud sobs.

Yet this being the case, Liu Yunshu's gift was somewhat too heavy. Li Qingfeng originally wanted to find an excuse to decline, but upon catching Liu Yunshu's gaze, the words of refusal refused to pass his lips.

"Around early spring, when you wrote saying you were coming to the capital, didn't I tell you I was fine and ask you not to act rashly? How could you be so bold as to run back to the capital?" After entering the room, Sizhen tidied the fine, hanging wisps of hair beside her temples, and although she withdrew her hand from Sun Yanling's palm, a soft smile involuntarily surfaced at the corners of her lips.

Seeing that the demonic blood had dried up, Li Qingfeng nodded slightly. It seemed roughly three to four hours had passed, which was about what he had anticipated.

The commotion here was so immense that no one in the entire banquet hall continued drinking; everyone crowded around to watch. Those who could not push their way to the front simply stood on chairs, and eventually, many people stood right on top of the tables.

The expressionless fire giant raised its huge axe with both hands once more, channeled all its magical power, and brought the blade down in a mighty and forceful chop.

Accompanied by the calcination of the Buddha flame, pitch-black impurities continuously emerged from the body, while the dense residual death aura, illness aura, and cold aura were driven away bit by bit.

The anticipated pain did not arrive, nor did she make intimate contact with the ground; instead, she landed against a hard wall of flesh, hearing a muffled grunt beside her ear.

Suddenly, several tall Winged Men walked forward from ahead. These fellows were gorgeously dressed, appearing to be wealthy young masters within Axspong.

A flash of sudden enlightenment arose in Shi Xuan's heart, and a gentle wave of joy blossomed faintly—both for himself and for Meng Nijin.

At last, the table between the two abruptly shattered into a cloud of fine powder that drifted and scattered everywhere. The Demon Sect disciples outside the room wanted to approach, but suddenly the entire house shook with a loud "boom." The four walls of the house flew outward, while the roof was blasted into the sky by a powerful surge of internal energy.

Although they had not witnessed it with their own eyes when Li Yunxiao suppressed a Martial Sovereign with a wave of his hand in the Fire Crow Empire, they preferred to believe it was true. Coupled with Li Yunxiao's arrogant display on Qionghua Island, where he was virtually unstoppable, those who tried to snatch spirit crystals ended up having their own seized instead. This was precisely why Leng Quan had set up such a grand formation to ensure absolute foolproof success.

"Could it be that the righteous path has begun taking action against the Demon Sect, and this damned rabbit just sneaked in?" Dugu Baitian guessed inwardly, though he felt it was highly unlikely.

Lin Tian nodded, and subsequently, a phantom of his soul materialized behind him. Following closely, powerful soul intent condensed into a seven-colored divine light that forcefully pierced through the divine court acupoint between his eyebrows and surged into the red-robed cultivator's spiritual sea of consciousness.

Du Ruhai felt the world go completely dark before his eyes, his blood pressure spiked straight upward, his complexion turned ashen, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Fine, I'll stay out of this matter. Dad, I'm going to deal with these things, so that matter is up to you." Liang Yuanxza patted the box of gold beneath him and smiled at Liang Pengfei.

"Please speak." Jiang Chen remained neither servile nor overbearing, showing no wild, unbridled joy despite the other party's promise.

Making this decision was not difficult for Zhou Weiqin. Although not much time had passed, the current Zhou Weiqin was no longer the person he had been when he first entered the Felyy Royal Military Academy.

Only True Immortal Tailü wore a cold expression without the slightest emotional ripple, as though the one who had died was neither his disciple nor his grand-disciple.

The World-Extinction instantly clashed with the heavy sword in the Death Monarch's hand. Amidst the clashing of metal and stone, dazzling sparks bloomed like a furious, blossoming lotus, reflecting off one another in the dark mid-air with an extraordinary, chilling beauty.

"You like it too?" Binglan's gaze shifted to Moliu's face. Even with Moliu traveling at such a high speed, Binglan remained expressionless, and despite not wearing a seatbelt, her body abnormally remained steady without swaying, as if she were embedded right into the vehicle.

This point simply could not be justified no matter how one looked at it. Therefore, Xu Qi also felt that his own thoughts were somewhat unreasonable.

The entire circular platform was filled with attacking energy, and the shockwaves swept toward the "Inner Demon" with the overwhelming force of a category-twelve gale.

As Ma Liang spoke, his umbrella shifted slightly as he walked toward the back of the shrine. The interior grew increasingly gloomy and gradually plunged into darkness, revealing a narrow, elongated passage at the rear of the shrine.
