Volume 1, Chapter 26: Jia Xu, the Poisonous Strategist

[Page 1 of 3]

After this battle, Lu Yunduan’s name would surely resound throughout the whole of Bingzhou.

And with that, he would be one step closer to achieving his purpose.

“General Chang, how many soldiers did we lose in this battle?”

Chang Zhongyou covered his wound and shouted toward the troops,

“Call out the numbers!”

“One, two, three…”

…

“One thousand five hundred and eighty!”

Three thousand had gone out; only one thousand five hundred and eighty had returned.

In the past, I had hated everything related to prisons. If I had seen myself handcuffed a month ago, I probably would have gone mad. Now, however, the sight brought me an indescribable sense of security.

He summoned rumbling thunder from the heavens and blasted the entire martial arts academy into ruins. If it had not been the middle of the night, who knew how many people would have died by his hand?

I looked ahead and, sure enough, saw an abandoned factory. Yet beneath the darkness of night, it shone with dazzling lights.

After saying this, Wei Yuxuan suddenly remembered the dream he had recently been repeating, but he kept it to himself.

At this point, the man could go no further. He found it unbearably humiliating. He was a palace guard of the highest rank, yet he had been sent to stand watch at a consort’s door.

After learning the habits of the Golden-Silver Dragonwing Fish, Ye Kang knew that catching more of them would not be difficult. What he had no shortage of was dragon blood and dragon meat. Once the fish swam into shallow water, he would have a way to capture them. When he had the opportunity, he would catch more and bring them home for the cultivators in his family to enjoy.

By all rights, since Qin Hao had cured most of Old Master Lin’s confusion, the Tang family should have been grateful. Yet those people had not taken him seriously at all. Qin Hao remained as invisible as air. What use was there in preserving such a family? What was there left to cherish?

As Pearl walked, her eyes darted constantly from side to side. Willow Shade followed behind her, studying the surrounding environment as well.

Su Xiuran, helped to his feet by Gu Anran, frowned and glared at Su Wei, who had tried to stand up for him. His face was somewhat pale, and his voice grew increasingly icy.

Gu Anran turned her head to look at Donglin Rui’s suggestive expression. The muscles at the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

Dani, sleeping soundly, rose irritably to open the door. But the moment she did, she found herself face-to-face with Lu Mingxu’s furious expression.

Donglin Rui stood up and cast a sidelong glance at Gu Anran, who remained seated by the window. His gaze was sharp and full of hidden meaning, leaving Gu Anran utterly bewildered.

Lu Hanguo was so kind and so strong. No matter what happened, she always managed to carry on with courage.

Behind him, a line of words had been carved into the thick bamboo:

“Yu You’an and Lu Wei—together until their hair turns white.”

She picked it up and held it against herself. Perhaps buying this sexy underwear was her way of refusing to yield—a challenge directed at Ruan Bing?

“Yes!”

Almost as soon as Hua Niang’s voice fell, a deep shout rang out behind her. The four burly men standing behind her then stepped forward.

When Xifeng Jingtian saw that Mufeng Hua was acting as though nothing had happened and speaking to him that way, he somehow felt as if she were saying, “Leave. We’re never to contact each other again.” The more he thought about it, the more an inexplicable irritation rose in his heart.

Did I believe it? I did. Though it was utterly inconceivable, a thousand years was more than enough time for the world to undergo tremendous changes. I had no reason to deny everything I had seen.

The Japanese troops, which had encountered no resistance at all until then, were suddenly engulfed by every kind of attack.

Still, headaches were one thing; allowing the Japanese troops to pass was absolutely impossible. He was even prepared to ambush them as before.

Throughout history, countless geniuses had been trapped at the peak of the Legendary Realm. Breaking through to the Saint Realm was the most difficult threshold on the path beyond mortality—without exception.

“Nanamin and the others have been gone for a week. I’m going to take a look at the Hashimoto family’s place and tidy up the house a little while I’m there.”

Mirai said this as she walked toward her room to change clothes.
