Volume 1, Chapter 56: Breaking the Enemy

Page (1/3)

Lu Yunduan looked toward the sound, only to see the sky in the east of the city lit up with blazing fires and the sounds of battle echoing incessantly. It turned out that the covert operatives within the city had long since made their preparations and, taking advantage of the chaos, opened the city gates to allow the trapped friendly forces to break through the siege.

"Good!" He let out a long breath. "At least the entire army wasn't wiped out."

Li Xuzhou, however, frowned. "Things are not that simple. Since the enemy has set such a massive trap, they must have a backup plan."

Before his voice faded, panicked cries suddenly erupted from the west of the city: "This is bad! The granary is on fire!"

Lu Yunduan felt a jolt in his heart. If the granary was destroyed, the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city would be plunged into a desperate situation. He was just about to give the order to put out the fire when he saw Li Xuzhou pull him back...

Liao Weiwei rushed forward, flinging herself into my arms, and said, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay," sobbing as she spoke.

"Father, Empress, Brother, Luoying has finally avenged you! May your spirits in heaven find peace!" Xiao Luoying choked out, tears rolling down her cheeks continuously like broken pearls.

"Very well." Snake of the Twelve Earthly Branches possessed the highest strength and prestige among these people, so no one raised any objections.

Fallen petals drifted past the edge of Bellflower's pillow. The chirping of birds drifted in from outside the window, and the cool morning light spilled into the room, leaving her mind in complete and utter chaos.

A barefoot person is not afraid of someone wearing shoes; that lawless girl was completely unbridled, and she truly feared what kind of trouble she might cause.

Terrified out of its wits, it was naturally impossible for it to stay in place and wait for death. Immediately, it betrayed its teammates, desperately attempting to break through space and flee.

Shangguan Longwu walked up to the front, and the Guardian also stood up, his gaze instantly locking onto the students.

There must be a formation here, allowing those who enter to possess an independent and complete space of their own, undisturbed by anyone.

Yun Lang reached one hand past his neck to brace against the tree, tilting his head up to look straight into his eyes, the haughtiness in his gaze strikingly captivating.

Cold sweat beaded on Xu Miaomiao's back. It took her quite a while to calm her emotions before she mustered the courage to slowly lower the torch, only to see a blood-stained, disheveled face looking up at her with eager anticipation.

"Right Elder, you have returned. And this is?" In front of the mountain gate of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the disciples looked at Wang Tao and Shi Yan, asking respectfully.

"Oh no!" that chubby black youth exclaimed in shock! At this moment, he and his partner, Fire Wolf, were clearly the focal points of the grand formation, as well as the souls of the formation, so how could he not know the giant wolf's current predicament?

The maidservants all belonged to the Prince Chen Estate. Compared to Jin Roujia, they naturally took orders much more readily from Zhen'er, the young maid temporarily managing the household affairs. Hearing her question, they immediately released the person in their grip, lowered their heads, and stepped back a few paces.

"Wang Xiaochu, do you think you still have a chance of winning now?" Looking at the two figures appearing beside him, the corner of Wang Kunmao's mouth curved into a sneer as he sternly questioned Wang Xiaochu.

Human hearts cannot be manipulated within the palm of one's hand overnight. Meng Yuan was deeply aware of this. Usually, through subtle methods such as building momentum, giving hints, and rendering atmospheres, he shaped his own image to achieve his goals.

Duan Ruier let out a bird-like chirp and playfully scolded, "How annoying, why didn't you knock before coming in?" In truth, it was because Emperor Song Hui was far too impatient and forgot to close the door upon entering, leading to this scene.

Furthermore, Prince Gong probably didn't even take those ministers seriously. If they failed to extract the antidote by then, Mo Peng would truly be beyond all medical help.

"Oh, no." Shuang Yanhao tiredly pressed his back against the backrest of his office chair, pressing his hand to his forehead and rubbing it incessantly.

"This was brought over yesterday by Blacky Li from the Li family. He was just released from prison," Nanfang hurriedly told Old Man Sun.

She had investigated everything related to Ember, observing everything quietly like a bat lurking in the dark night.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Never did they expect that Erha's Extreme Cold Dragon Breath would be so terrifying.

"Lingzi, you won't fall for Brother Zifan again in the future, will you?" Mu Yu stared at Chu Lingzi, who was sitting in front of her, and asked.

However, even if Su Shi wanted to go back, he had no intention of letting her return. After all, he had never possessed the hobby of fulfilling other people's wishes.

The shadow clones had all transformed into masked figures in black. Without forehead protectors or ninja tool pouches, neatly arranged, they looked just like a special forces unit.

Compared to the rare ease inside Qingqing Hall, the atmosphere inside Fangxie Hall was not nearly as relaxed.

They walked all the way up to the imperial dais. Fu Muyuan had long since gone up via another path, waiting at the very top.

The man kneeling on the ground became even more arrogant, acting as if the doctor's testimony was entirely backing him up.

Although he lay paralyzed on the ground like a pathetic, dead dog, he was continuously mocked by that annoying bird.

The next moment, everyone unleashed almost all of their abilities, and the second wave of attacks was far more powerful than the first.

Shebi remained motionless amidst the wind, completely unfazed, only frowning and covering her nose because she found the stench of that breath far too heavy.

Nanxi Yuhuan smiled and said nothing more. The three of them drank a while longer before parting ways. Early the next morning, after the morning bell rang, Nangong Yuhuan planned to leave Chunhua Palace and head toward the Department of Dance.

Imperial Concubine Qi answered very casually, as if she were merely recounting an ordinary story, but Nangong Yuhuan keenly noticed a flash of gloating in the depths of her eyes.

The journey of Qin Zhi and Letian coming together could be described as torturous and winding. After getting to know Letian, Qin Zhi had also inquired about his character and naturally knew that Letian was the kind of person who would never exert himself without profit, and would certainly never run around blindly for nothing.

The surrounding scenery seemed to undergo an almost imperceptible sway, refracted by the shimmering water.

As the head of the Wang family, Wang Xing also held a pivotal position in the imperial court. He currently held the rank of a first-rank minister, wielding towering power!

Fortunately, after arriving at the hospital and making inquiries, it turned out that Fang Meng's aunt-in-law was only suffering from acute appendicitis and had passed out from the pain. She was currently receiving an IV drip.

It is impossible to cultivate a good disciple simply through verbal instruction. Only by making them understand their own shortcomings can they correct them. Although this was his first time instructing others, Ziyun Yuan's performance was still quite good, making him a qualified teacher.

After smashing Zhao Hu away once more, Ye Feng charged toward Hua Qingzhang, Yao Yang, and Wang Junyi. The three of them hurriedly mobilized their beast souls, all of them being intermediate soul kings with soul power surging around their bodies.

That voice was crisp and melodious, resembling a stream flowing through a mountain valley, refreshing anyone who heard it.

The expression of the man in black sank, and he shouted, "Back off!" As he spoke, he turned around, attempting to grab their hostage, but as if struck by lightning, he froze in place in astonishment.

"In just a few days, you actually had the ability to make a strange man die for you. Murong Qingwan, your talent for seducing men truly makes this sect master admire you!" Lan Mur枫 curved his lips in disdain, and his words were even more humiliating and infuriating.

"Who poisoned her?" Xiao Xuyeyuan suddenly stood up, a piercing, cold glare shooting from his ink-black eyes as he clenched his hands into tight fists. In his heart, he had already faintly guessed the identity of the poisoner.
