Volume 1, Chapter 37: You Have Been Caught

He recalled the final scene of parting with Qi Ping'an, remembering the warmth of her hand when they touched, but now, that soft hand had been reduced to a pile of charred, blackened remains.

Across the continent of Kyushu, hundreds of nations stood, yet the cultivation sects remained unique, belonging to no single country. Conflicts between nations were inevitable, and in such times, securing the support of a cultivation sect was undoubtedly a guarantee of victory.

Li Yu said to Li Chunlin, "I accept your good intentions. Tell your father that I have fulfilled what I promised him. I have returned this time only to pack my things and leave." Li Yu turned his head to look at the man in black behind him.

Xu Jin'er shook her head. After spending the night serving him, and now with Song Que personally coming to the Cining Palace to rescue her, her impression of him had changed significantly.

That old woman... she complained of this ache and that pain, yet when she struck Zhuang Jingsi, her hands were anything but soft.

"This is the first time I've seen such an intense magnetic field." As Iruma Megumi watched Yagari pull up images of varying orientations, she truly could not imagine what kind of thing could generate such powerful electromagnetic waves.

The sensation of touch, feeling almost tangible, made Lu Lan tremble slightly, the calmness in her eyes gradually being consumed by a nameless fire of desire.

Those elite soldiers had not returned with Huo Wuliang... according to Huo Wuliang, they had died at Evil Flame Mountain, and he was the only one who broke through the siege to survive.

Chen Sanniang had been doing business in the city for many years and had extensive connections, having mastered the art of speaking to people in the language of men and to ghosts in the language of spirits.

"If you need someone to handle the legion's affairs, Calgar, your Victors, or even your Champion warriors known as the Victrix Guard, they can all handle these matters for you. You should be staying on Terra and attending to the responsibilities you are tasked with!" Lion paced back and forth, rebuking him.

"Chuchu, are you mocking me?" Understand him? Having lived under the same roof for so many years, it was impossible not to.

The guests were naturally kept in the dark, continuing to offer their congratulations, with not a single one noticing the deception.

She fought for third place for no other reason than the fact that her opponent was Dai Li, and so, she did not hesitate.

"Actually, I am quite worried about Mianmian. I don't know what she is hiding from me. She refuses to say, and I cannot force her, but I can clearly feel that she is indeed keeping something from me." When Su Qianxun spoke of this, her chest felt tight.

Seeing Jiang Rui, Jiang Xue's gaze flickered. She knew that Jiang Rui was her third uncle. However, as she had not yet acknowledged the Jiang family, this was their first meeting.

The man who owned this voice was called Li Erlai. He had no particular skills, but he was acquainted with the servants of various great families.

"I ask you... was being with me a conspiracy from the very beginning? Just as Chu Xinian said, was it merely to detoxify?" Su Qianxun looked up, staring at him indifferently.

Because it was a special organization, their retirement was held internally; there were no red flowers pinned to their chests, nor were there any high-profile farewell ceremonies.

"Big Head! Come over here!" Wang Zhanheng, having parked his motorcycle, shouted at a young man not far away. Both were involved in the underworld, and Wang Zhanheng and Shen Big Head were well-acquainted.

Mo Yishen held Qin Tianyue's hand as they walked down the street, the eyes of many passersby fixed upon them.

But thinking back, he realized that from beginning to end, he had blindly attempted to attack with brute force, ignoring many factors that required careful thought during combat.

Since Lin Feng had promised to teach him, he would not stop halfway. After explaining it twice more, Murong Xiang finally managed to memorize it, and when Lin Feng made him recite it, he stumbled through it, but finally got it out.

Zhang Nan spoke, taking a fierce gulp of clear liquor, cold murderous intent flashing in his eyes, while Li Meixian quickly shut the doors and windows tight, fearing that others might overhear.

The cold dagger danced nimbly between her slender fingers like a butterfly flitting through flowers.

From every move Yun Ziyi made, it was clear that her training in Baji Quan was not a matter of just a day or two.

"Once I accept what you say, in my view, it is equivalent to trading my love for wealth and power, which is not what I want."

"Who is attacking the defensive formation outside? Have they grown the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?" The Second Elder spoke again, rolling up his sleeves as he prepared to go out and investigate.

By this time, many people had already gathered around Minglang Peak, quietly waiting for the great battle to commence. Those who could come here to watch were no ordinary individuals; apart from those from the Five Great Sacred Domains, the others were all heaven-gifted prodigies of various dynasties. Without a certain level of strength, even the aftershocks of the battle would be difficult to withstand.

As Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief, there was also a touch of pity in his eyes. He feared that during these past days, in order to overcome the company's crisis, she had not slept well a single night.

"Then what about Nicole? Does she not know either?" Mu Zixue's brows were deeply furrowed now. Could it be that his judgment had been wrong? Otherwise, why would he have felt just moments ago that there was a qualitative difference between Lan Wanbai and Will?

"Sigh, let's come up with a proper solution..." Chen Qimei hurriedly changed the subject.

With every sentence Shawn spoke, his tone grew heavier. This general, seasoned by battlefield after battlefield, had a cold, sunken gaze. As a soldier, the things Nolan had committed were the greatest of taboos.

The moment their fists made contact, a low, muffled thud echoed across the horizon, causing the hearts of countless people to leap in shock.

"What?" Two voices of horror rang out. Miyazaki Wataru and Khun Sa both turned their shocked, incredulous gazes toward Zifeng simultaneously, their mouths twitching uncontrollably, their expressions completely distorted.

"I told you long ago that you are a smart person, but your temper is too stubborn. There was a comfortable and easy path clearly laid out for you, yet you refused to take it." With a sigh that seemed filled with regret, the Empress opened her eyes, shrewdness flowing within her gaze.
