Volume 1, Chapter 24: I Want to Take Xiao Yu With Me

Lin Yuxia looked up in shock, only to run into Fei Xun’s mocking, mischievous grin, and realized he had been teasing her again. She picked up a slipper and hurled it at him, but Fei Xun nimbly dodged, disappearing behind the door. From the hallway, his arrogant laughter echoed: "Goodnight, little sister Yu~~"

A sharp, crisp sound of a slap instantly reverberated through the pharmacy. The shopkeeper, Jia Lin, was left completely stunned by the blow.

They reached the information center and headed straight into Mi Qilin’s office. Mi Qilin walked in last and closed the door behind them.

"You slut, found another one after only a few days? I wonder what expression Young Master Xi would have if he heard about this?" Yu Xiaohuan said viciously, watching Lin Fan walk away.

Just as their auras locked tightly onto Liang Lingfeng, a muffled roar escaped his throat. Like a wild wolf in a state of frenzy, he charged toward his prey, his eyes radiating a fierce, murderous light.

In an instant, thousands of figures materialized in mid-air, brandishing cyan-glowing swords as they unleashed a fierce assault. Facing Feng Jue, whose strength was by no means inferior to his own, Shangguan Yunyao dared not show even a hint of carelessness.

Although Chen Feng looked quite disheveled at the moment, had it not been for the grueling physical training he had endured under Liang Lingfeng’s guidance, he would likely be far worse off than just disheveled—he would be lying on the ground unconscious. After all, Chen Feng was only a sixth-level martial artist, while Huang Shisheng was already at the ninth level.

Night fell once again upon the land, yet Beiqing City appeared incredibly dazzling. Lights flickered along the streets, and figures constantly patrolled the city gates, not letting a single movement go unnoticed.

Although he had suffered many grievances in the past, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had truly held their heads high over the last few years, which had made his temper much bolder than before. Now, having to play along with someone whose status was far inferior to his own was something he found truly difficult to accept.

"Hey, hey, don't ignore me! Everything I said was the truth!" Seeing that Ling Qi was surely feeling shy, Fang Xiyuan leaned forward, unreasonably pressing his face against her left cheek to turn her head back toward him.

When dawn broke the next day and he learned the news, Hou Chang couldn't help but feel uneasy. He knew that compared to saving someone from the execution grounds tomorrow, breaking into the prison would have been much easier. After all, the execution site would inevitably be surrounded by a massive army, and the time window would be limited, making a rescue attempt significantly more difficult.

Stepping out of the building, several Celestials were already waiting outside; the efficiency of the guards was quite high.

Amidst the sounds of combat, Lu Yuan realized that Yu Jue was on the losing end. Consumed by anxiety and no longer caring about anything else, he immediately unleashed his "Wuji Demon-Expelling Palm" at the fiend.

"These things are of little use to me now, and as the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven style advances, they can no longer inflict any significant harm," Ji Cheng remarked, his gaze narrowing. He remained unmoved by the thousands of giant fire dragons descending upon him, standing as steady as a mountain.

"Looking for me?" A beautiful voice came from behind them, but to the two men, it sounded like a call from hell.

However, it was not just one person who had been controlled by the Void Prophet Malzahar using unknown secret arts; there was at least one other big player that Ryze and the others had failed to account for.

But the subordinate did not answer, emitting only guttural, roaring hisses, behaving no differently than a zombie.

As Tian Yan had anticipated, the masters of the Ghost Valley arrived and wiped out the assassins. Tian Yan lied, presenting the "truth" that the real Jing Ni was Tian Mi, and used the fake Jing Ni and the assassins as evidence, leaving Tian Mi trapped in a situation where she knew she was being framed but had no way to argue her case. Thus, she won the conviction of all the heads of the Nong Family halls present.
