Chapter Fifty-Three: Advancing by Retreating

Jiang Heng remained silent for a moment before saying, "I have no way to trust any of them, not even the eldest senior brother."

If Shen Yanchu is willing to play the role of repentance, then let him act it out.

Among the madness of the sect, there must at least be one who pretends to be sane to keep order.

As long as she harbors no expectations or hopes for him, she will not be hurt the next time he abandons her.

Han Jie smiled, "Although today's events have put you in a bad mood, it is not without some gain."

With one leg held by Hua Xin, Mu Yingying lost her balance and fell backward to the ground, lying flat on her back. Hua Xin seized the moment to pounce on Mu Yingying, his face landing squarely on her chest—a sensation that was truly pleasant.

"Let's go!" Dorgon led his men toward the city. As they walked, fragments of stone, shattered by cannon fire, occasionally flew past, unintentionally cutting his cheek and slowly drawing blood.

"Yes. Han Ming, since we share a common enemy, why not speak openly and honestly together?" An Nan Monkey tempted Han Ming.

"Heh, you’ve almost used up all the spirit stones in my storage pouch. If I don’t show up soon, you might pawn off my pouch as a toy," Qin Tian said coldly.

"I have confidence in Your Majesty and believe you can revive the Ming Dynasty and bring prosperity to the people!" Bi Ziyan said respectfully.

Emperor Kemin had seen many instances of celebrities being paid huge sums for endorsements; he assumed Xia Xuan’s intentions were no different.

Although Li Feifei held a favorable impression of Hua Xin, the fact that this fellow was still waiting here, causing her companions to tease her, made her blame Hua Xin for her irritation, tarnishing her image of him.

Perhaps at that moment, it was merely stalling for time, channeling its power into this world.

The pixiu bit onto the ring and chewed noisily. In an instant, it swallowed the ring whole.

No wonder Matsushita Kouta was so furious; had there been no accident and Matsushita Kaita died—the legitimate heir—he, as an elder of the Matsushita family, would have had a strong chance to claim the inheritance.

Clearly, they would not heed Meng Hailong’s advice. Once it was confirmed that Meng Hailong agreed to let them leave, the two, not caring about the dirt on their faces, hurriedly dashed out the door.

"Who exactly instructed you back then?" Shu Jian supported himself on the footboard of the bed, his black eyes piercing like a hawk, fixated on Meng Wancheng.

Moreover, even if this time an accident occurred and the attack was repelled, he could still summon more troops to encircle the Witch King and his forces.

"Of course I saw him. Am I not currently pressing down on Kudo’s head?" Xu Wanjun said with a smile.

Knowledge can expand the sea of consciousness; naturally, more is better. Unfortunately, Zoro’s merit balance was insufficient, and he had to reserve the remainder for emergencies, so he had to politely decline.

Xiu Liyuan’s phone, like Ye Minghan’s, was turned off. Judging by this, the two were likely together. Shu Han thought it over and decided to inform Xiu Daili about Xiu Liyuan’s situation once matters became clearer.

The fox spirit and the other demons had been alert when the opponent unleashed that talisman, but they were stunned by its terrifying aura and dared not act rashly. Only now did they truly awaken from their daze.

Seeing that Natsuki Subaru was still hesitating, Xu Wanjun gave him no further chance to deliberate and directly pulled him toward the few people they had just located using Altair’s ability.

If the giant python was not found on the scene, even if Old Wang hadn’t been drugged, the police would still consider it a false alarm and punish him inevitably.

A great power such as himself did not sit there merely to watch the show; he was the insurance measure left by Li Chen, using his vast consciousness to envelop the entire battlefield, closely monitoring every movement in the area.
