Chapter 48

From yesterday's events at the Ministry of Punishments, Xu Chuan could already tell that the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, Mao Chongfeng, did not belong to Qin Hui's faction and was an official worth befriending.

Dong Zhiyu was stunned for a moment. At first, she thought Qin Ke was merely bluffing, but she had not expected Ye Qingyu to actually arrive.

Yuan Shao had far too many fierce generals under his command. The formidable general Han Meng led his forces straight to capture Tian Yu, while the fierce generals Zhang He and Gao Lan charged their cavalry toward Gongsun Zan.

Not only that, even his facial features bore a striking resemblance to the photographs of his mother in her youth, which explained why Bai Yaobin had suddenly frozen upon seeing him.

In less than two minutes, Bureau Chief Jiao entered the welcoming banquet hall accompanied by a dozen police officers.

Watching Song Zechuan's car disappear into the night, Lu Shihuan prepared to turn back, but the moment she turned around, Jiang Chen and Jiang Mo appeared behind her like two guardian deities.

At this point, he was essentially a shell devoid of thought, a true walking corpse.

Guan Xingbang hurriedly protected the two students behind him, raising the wooden stick in his hand as he stared intently at the approaching figure.

Wang Fangchao was reserved in temperament and disliked talking while gaming; wouldn't people find his live streams exceptionally boring?

Although he had mentally prepared himself, the moment he actually laid eyes on the appearance of the dog demon, Bai Xian still involuntarily held his breath.

Forget it then, Lin Chen gave a slight sigh, then retrieved the tattered snow region map, tossed it into his inventory, and continued lying down.

At that moment, he saw everything clearly before him. Yi Zhuofeng's brows furrowed deeply; he sensed the intense killing intent emanating from Gong Ziqi, feeling as though this time it was unprecedented.

Furthermore, Lin Chen's inventory lacked underwater breathing potions, and trying to proceed might end up drowning them both.

These people were essentially currying favor with Shen Guang and Howard Stark—there was no help for it, as the resources currently controlled by the two men were simply too vast. If they so desired, they could entirely help elevate these people's careers to the next level.

"Fall back!" Senior Brother Zhou rarely spoke, but under the current critical circumstances, he issued a commanding order for everyone to retreat.

As Shen Guang absorbed these mists, the living corpses seemed completely oblivious. They continued to emerge, shuffling toward the surroundings and crowding together to block off this entire tract of woodland.

In an instant, countless flaming cannonballs rained down upon the city. Should they land, they would blast this entire city into ruins.

The process went far more smoothly than Shen Guang had anticipated, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot and roll out the remainder of his plan.

A quarter of an hour later, the primordial spirit of the Iron-Beaked Sea Serpent was jointly severed by several sea demons. Its massive body instantly came crashing down into the ocean, and with a sweep of Ning Xin's spiritual energy, she gathered it up.

Facing Chen Ling's questioning, Li Nuo remained silent, but her attitude was unmistakable: don't even think about shaking me off, I'm sticking with you to the end.

Blade stretched out a hand to adjust the sunglasses on his bridge, his expression extremely solemn. With a rhombus-shaped stinger in each hand, he desperately tried to sense the opponent's location and momentum.

Though they had already guessed something while inside, hearing Elder Mo articulate it with his own ears still made this scene somewhat difficult for them to accept.

The beast tooth vibrated slightly, emitting no sound, but Caesar could sense an intangible ripple spreading outward. Moments later, the beast tooth vibrated once more, and Caesar felt a voice in the distance responding to his call.

The three of them wore puzzled expressions, for the newcomer was none other than the head of the Divine Arrows Mercenary Group... the Divine Archery Hall... Master Xia Zhixing.

It was not that Elder Tan was stingy; if it were anyone else, no matter how reluctant he felt, given their master-disciple ties, he certainly would not have kept things hidden. Even if Xiao Tie did not ask, he would have bestowed some upon him.

Naturally, these were just her thoughts; unless driven to absolute desperation, she truly did not wish to trouble her master.

"Is this considered precious? Master often brews it for tea, but I find it far too bitter; honey tastes much better." Tian Shang replied indifferently.

Jue Yunchen might not have been an absolute elite within the Saint Spirit Realm, but his martial prowess was not inferior either. After all, being able to secure a position as one of the Five Great Protectors of the Dayue Imperial Capital meant he could not possibly be weak. At the very least, such an honor was still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Anyway, I don't consider myself a minor!" Qingxun muttered with slight depression... being under eighteen meant being a minor, and this rule was far too rigid.

Even if she closed the sect for ten years, and her cultivation broke through to the mid Return to Dan Realm ten years later, it would only serve to deter Xiao Ming, rather than eradicate the root cause of the trouble forever.

Mu Ningxi circled the mountaintop several times, continuously calling out Xia Fan's name, yet still received not the slightest response.

Family matters were far too complicated; whether it was the father currently embroiled in family struggles, the mother whose whereabouts remained unknown, or her own current predicament, nothing about it was ordinary.

Continuing to select plot characters, Shaoyang naturally inputted Pangu; yet upon second thought, it seemed there were no other prominent figures... so Shaoyang simply added "Sun Wukong" into the mix as well.

Faced with such a situation, everyone knew without thinking that to lure the boss out, all ten Nine-Tailed Purple Foxes had to be completely eliminated. However, these ten Nine-Tailed Purple Foxes were not separated; instead, they were gathered together in a group.

The Plum Blossom Garden, suppressed by great fortune, could keep its plum blossoms blooming perpetually without withering, and Ji Yu naturally possessed this capability as well.

"It is as simple as that." Han Qianyu nodded. Although he had killed quite a few people up to this day and his hands were stained with blood, those individuals had all been heinous criminals. As for the innocent, he would never slaughter them wantonly.

Though I hadn't expected him to make such a guarantee, considering his cleverness, I nodded with satisfaction and turned to address A-Biao.

Originally, everyone thought that once they reached the precipice, the path would end. Yet the moment they looked down the cliff, a stone path embedded into the cliff face appeared before their eyes.
