134 Succubus (42)

At the height of the Apocalypse Knights, they dared to hunt down members of the royal family directly. But now, for military leaders like Liang Ye, they wouldn’t dare act so recklessly.

They weren’t sure whether what they were doing was right or wrong, but at this point, they truly couldn’t just stand by and watch Wang Xiuqin be thrown in prison.

He needed some time to figure out how to face Xu Rushi later, especially whether he should ask if it had anything to do with Sister Su Yu.

Because she had a hunch that the mission Yun assigned to Mo Li wouldn’t be simple at all.

“Move aside!” The crown prince shot a cold glance at Eunuch Li, flanked by several guards whose blades dripped blood onto the ground.

Meanwhile, after more than two months, Jiang Jiuyue finally reached the border between the Canglan Empire and the Holy Dragon Empire.

Xu Zhuangzhuang stepped into the carriage, curious as he examined the interior decorations, feeling a thrill. The fifteenth generation knight was indeed extraordinary; the interior was spacious and lavishly adorned.

“In that case, there’s no need for you to go to Miaojiang,” Ye Hao responded.

“No fighting is allowed in the inner mountains! Anyone caught will be expelled from the Martial Arts Tournament! So everyone remains quiet! Any grudges must be settled in the outer mountains!” Guo Xuansong explained.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the Third Prince returned, he put on the facade of a dutiful son, kneeling solemnly before the Empress’s spirit tablet, leaving others no room to escape his provocation.

“Your servant pays respects to His Majesty. Forgive me for wearing armor and not performing full rites. Allow me to salute with a military greeting,” Cao Zhao said solemnly, presenting a military salute reminiscent of Emperor Chongzhen.

Looking at the thick layer of unmelted brown sugar at the bottom of the cup, Feng Qingchen shook her head. She had to admit, this man’s skill at brewing brown sugar water was terrible—he managed to make it taste so awful, something few could achieve.

Today, Wang Jinling hinted that although her father came from a common family and her mother was branded with a shameful name, neither of them was as simple as they appeared.

“Go prepare some late-night snacks for the Second Young Master,” Mu Yelai ordered, sending her maids away as she waited in the corridor.

Although their family was currently the most prosperous branch of the Lu family, they rarely interacted with the Lu clan and even less with the clan leader.

The Ninth Royal Uncle, wishing to avoid causing a disturbance, led Master Zuo An to a secluded place before revealing his identity.

Because Ye Ruoli learned from the Wind God that although this continent was full of profound divine experts, there were still those of Divine Saint rank or lower; hence, she took out the Saint-Breaking Pill for auction.

“Uncle Fourteen, why don’t you let your nephew lead the troops back first?” Hao Ge was anxious too. At this moment, he had no desire to compete with Dorgon. What had happened was a severe blow to the Emperor's prestige; if not handled properly, the Emperor’s throne might be in jeopardy.

A mighty emperor ordering his subordinates to collude with enemy states to slander the loyal was not unheard of, but once word got out, it would utterly disgrace the Dongling royal family. No wonder Prince Su was furious.

There was indeed a gap between silver dragons and golden dragons. Although Qu Chenxi and the others had improved and were advancing toward higher levels of strength, the difference with golden dragons was undeniable—just not immediately apparent.

Well, of course, it wasn’t absolute. At least from what Wang Taika and Crystal had witnessed from start to finish, Wang Taika had done nothing wrong, while Crystal had always been hostile toward Wang Taika. But today’s events had changed Crystal’s perception of Wang Taika considerably.

“See? Eight minutes and fifteen seconds, a complete victory!” Liang Shang showed the time on the phone taken from Zong Zhi.

Early on, the junglers were key: on one side, a disruptive excavator in team fights; on the other, a very strong blind assassin. At first, it was hard to predict any changes.

But when the monk Anji merely extended a finger, no one knew what had happened at that moment.

The audience suddenly realized that Lulu was truly overpowered. Her Q skill slowed enemies by eighty percent and accelerated allies by almost forty percent. Once hit, escape was impossible—just attack until death.

Peeking slightly, Xia Liu saw the gentle young lady open the back door of the carriage and gently slip the unconscious Aman inside.

I was dumbfounded but considered that although the old man was eccentric, he was decent and somewhat capable. For Ya-ya on her path as a ghost cultivator, receiving his guidance was better than muddling along with me, a half-baked novice, so I didn’t oppose it.

Just as we were about to cheer for the big white goose, it staggered back a few steps after landing, tumbled down the stairs, flapping its wings wildly on the ground, seemingly in great pain.

Wang Taika came out, closed the door, and locked it, securing the scene and leaving no chance for gossip. Yet, having seven sets of clothes lying around felt strange—a vague sense of guilt lingered. What was that about?

At this moment, his body had turned into a bow, and the arrow came from Jian Chen.

“Hmph! Return the double rings!” Nan Ji shouted fiercely. The dragon-phoenix rings previously swallowed by Baxia suddenly rolled in its stomach, then shot out of its mouth back into Nan Ji’s hand. Baxia’s innards were damaged, spewing jade-green blood, yet the injury stirred its boundless ferocity.

The Bodhisattva remained cold and ruthless, pressing harder and harder. The eldest sister, dressed in red, fainted and then woke in pain, unbearable to witness.

Lost in thought, he turned to stand alongside Jin Chong, looking toward the source of the sound.

However, the battle here was so fierce it exceeded Jin Shengzhe’s expectations. The headquarters delayed sending reinforcements; from the start until now, only a little over a thousand had been fighting the colossal beast with their flesh and blood. No, the brunt of the fierce attack fell on Group A’s 500-plus members.

Without warning, Link rose and practically ran from his seat to the control panel, snatching the vial of potion in one grasp.
