Chapter 129: The Flamboyant Captain Launches an Attack

Ji Yan pondered for a long while before suddenly lifting his head to gaze at the starry sky above. The nights in the southern coastal city were exceptionally bright. Although the air carried a hint of salty moisture from the sea, it felt incredibly refreshing to those who had long lived inland, and the stars appeared all the more brilliant. "Sometimes I wonder, if I had made different choices back then, perhaps the outcome would have been different. I don't know, and there is no such thing as a regret pill in this world. But I do not regret my own..."

Li Zhi felt as though this were not an interrogation regarding Fang Yi'ai's rebellion, but rather an interrogation of his own qualifications to be emperor. He was incensed to the extreme by Zhangsun Wuji's disregard for imperial power, yet he had to feign calmness, maintaining a smile from time to time.

As he spoke, he had to look up at Shen Jialan, who radiated soft light and infinite charm, stretching her exquisite limbs upon the bed. It was the first time in his life that Lian Chenghu had witnessed yoga performed by Shen Jialan, and he found it to be breathtakingly magnificent.

Li Shimin seemed to have anticipated that Chen Fei would not guess the answer. He chuckled, brushed the topic aside, and began to chat with Chen Fei about Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao. These two were also generals on this expedition, assisting Chen Fei in quelling the rebellion.

"Hmph!" Min Lan responded only with a nasal sound, turning her head directly away as her hair whipped through the air.

Luo Shang felt as though a faint trail of pink remained wherever she walked; she was truly, undeniably a beauty.

Thinking of this, Yun Hao walked in the opposite direction. Sure enough, this time Yun Hao did not return to his original position but arrived at a new place.

At the same time, the brilliance vanished, and the night returned to tranquility. The sensations of scorching heat and bone-chilling cold slowly faded, and everyone let out a sigh of relief, for that tense and oppressive aura had finally dissipated.

The private room was partitioned by screens. When Wu Xingfeng pushed aside the beaded curtain and stepped in, the smile on his face instantly froze, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him.

An eerie sound erupted. The phantom of the demon suddenly dimmed, as if condensing into a single mass, and then, it violently burst forth with endless tentacles. The number of tentacles could be described as being in the hundreds, dense and sky-covering, as they madly pierced toward the giant mountain.

"Do you really wish to marry the Prince Regent as his consort?" Mu Bai desperately wanted to look away from Jiu Yin.

Those eyes, which had started with anticipation and hope, turned gray and dull—the very look of a heart that had died.

Suddenly, even Qi Canglong, in the midst of battle, was drawn by the words of this creature from the Great Wilderness. In the urgency of the fight, he turned his dragon head to look down, fixing a terrifying gaze upon the creature.

The layout of the ancestral hall was simple, consisting of nothing more than an empty shell of a hall filled with the spirit tablets of the Chu family's ancestors.

Because there were distinctions in strength and mutual restraint among "superpowers," there were indeed special ability users who could overcome opponents a level higher than themselves through surprise or the inherent superiority of their abilities.

Now, a living person had turned into a bead before their eyes. Had he not trusted him, Wang Yang likely would not have consumed it, and naturally, would not have become what he was now. If one said Wang Yang was alive, he no longer had a body; if one said he was dead, there was no corpse to be found. This bead was all that remained of him.

In truth, Ye Qing still understood some of Chu Chen's thoughts. Clearly, at this very moment, Chu Chen still had reservations and was particularly wary of the method she had suggested.

In the chaotic state of S Country, making an overseas call was no easy feat, and with other comrades waiting to use the phone, Mu Yu said goodbye to Lin Shu with great reluctance.

Gu Qingcheng's brows knitted slightly. The mess here had not been cleaned up; could it be that Tang Shi was the one who carried her to the other room and prepared clothes for her last night?

Before long, the mutated creatures at the construction site had been cleared out, and Zhang Jiayue ordered the convoy to stop at the site.

Lu Tianlong had not noticed this point. Listening to Lu Zhihuan's account, ripples of doubt rose in his heart. How could a company established less than half a month ago possess such great magic? It made absolutely no sense; there must be some unspeakable secret hidden within.

In the span of a single encounter, Wild Wolf and Bear Shield had easily flipped five or six bodyguards to the ground, leaving them lying there, groaning in pain.

"Yes, that's right, Wan Qiu. The news reports say Wan Qiu is currently missing. He has finally received his retribution. If it weren't for him, who knows how much better our Liao family would be doing right now," Liao Rushuang said, looking as if she had finally vented her anger.

"The Yin energy of the Underworld is highly aggressive. If not for the Jue Tian Grand Array and the Forbidden Sky Array, the black mist would have continuously expanded and eroded everything. This world of cultivators would have become a land of the dead long ago, leaving no room for other cultivators to survive."

When Ye Fei had previously used the Bead of Destiny to stop the battle between Ye Ling and Liu Yun, Mo Qingwu was too far away. Moreover, because Ye Fei had activated the bead with spiritual power without releasing the Underworld's Yin energy, Mo Qingwu had never suspected that it was the Bead of Destiny.

What brought Lu Zhe some comfort was that his Hundred Flower Sect was no longer just him, the nominal sect leader, and Yun Niang, the nominal deputy leader; they now had a security captain and an outer sect deacon.

So what if they were an outsider crocodile? When facing Mr. Jiang, they still had to bow their heads.

"Hehe, no need to rush now. Since they cannot be eliminated outside the palace, let them be tormented well within it." With her charming eyes slightly curved, Lin Yaru smiled coldly.
