Chapter 24

One day, Li Shuangcheng and his companions were setting up camp at the foot of a hillside. Before they had even finished, they heard a chorus of barking, followed by the thunderous sound of hooves. Li Shuangcheng and his men turned pale; they had already unsaddled their horses, and without saddles, their horsemanship was nowhere near enough to allow them to escape.

Fu Mingzhan took a sip of red wine and walked over to Zuo Zhu. They were of similar height. Fu Mingzhan leaned in and whispered a few words into Zuo Zhu’s ear. Zuo Zhu’s expression changed instantly; he grabbed Fu Mingzhan by the collar and punched him in the face.

It turned into scorching molten iron, melting like sticky chocolate, constantly bubbling with steaming hot water. Wires emerged mercilessly from its body, writhing about like frenzied vipers; some of the wires even began to attack one another.

The shattered, decayed flesh on the boss’s body suddenly began to reform! The mangled, bloody torso took shape once again as the shredded meat started to grow, gradually enveloping the boss’s bones and regenerating new flesh.

She grabbed him and rushed hurriedly toward Qu Qingran’s room, barging in without even knocking. The moment she entered, Xun Yi noticed the talismans posted on the doors and windows. After crossing the powerful shielding barrier, he suddenly realized that the problem this time might not be as trivial as it had been in the past.

The entire scene erupted into a frenzy. Although no one knew exactly what rank a Level 1 Profound Beast was, the sheer size of the creature—larger than the martial arts arena itself—made it clear that it was an extraordinary beast, likely even more powerful than a Level 9 Demon Beast.

Yu Man’ai offered a faint, charming smile, as if she found Die Fengwu’s question adorable.

The leading officer of the Imperial Guard recognized Duke Fenlang. He quickly stood at attention and answered, explaining the ins and outs of the situation.

In truth, everyone knew deep down that since Mark and Abigail had been missing for several hours, they had likely fallen in battle, and there might truly be beast-kin scouts lurking outside the city.

"Enough, the two of you get out there and act as bait to lure the three Vellas here." You Yu grabbed Suha and the other by the ears, her cheeks burning as she snorted coldly.

Although yesterday’s events appeared on the surface to be aimed at the Wu family, they were, in essence, targeting only Wu Shaoqi. Furthermore, Chang Qing felt he had solved everything perfectly; why would the Wu family still place him under house arrest?

Over there, Lin Yi had already climbed ashore. After vomiting the water from her lungs and recovering from the shock, she recalled her earlier undignified state and remembered Gu Yao, who had intentionally pulled her into the water. Her eyes turned red with fury in an instant.

She slept remarkably well, straight through until dawn. The room was extremely quiet; aside from a faint, indistinct cry heard in the middle of the night, there was no other sound.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in the internal affairs of the Kyoei Society?" Looking at the young man who had appeared so suddenly, Jaga Nagaharu asked with a hint of anger.

After getting out of the car, Feng Yi parked it, and Lu Chong helped Shi Tan inside. By the time Feng Yi entered the house, Shi Tan was already seated on the sofa.

Gu Yao lowered her head and squinted. If she wasn’t mistaken, Lin Xuan was very likely someone who, like her, had lived a second life.

Liang Yin led the way, with Qin Tianci following behind, as they approached the prison. Because General Guo had previously issued an order stating that the enemy commander had been captured thanks to the hero Qin, they were permitted to interrogate the prisoner at will. Guided by the jailer, they descended into the dark, foul-smelling dungeon.

"Totori, I find the Führer and his like to be so terrifying..." Finally, in one of the corridors, Chiai could no longer hold it in; she clung tightly to Totori, speaking in a weak voice.

Zhang Yi had seen all three of these people before. Two of them had purchased their tokens directly at the token auction, and Zhang Yi remembered them quite clearly.

"Haha, if the senior wants a secret room, that is truly easy. Please follow me, senior." Zhao Sancai smiled once more and gestured for him to proceed.

Xiao Ming nodded, boarded Situ Aotian’s car with Xu Wuyang and Hou Wei, and drove off in the direction of the capital.

"I understand, but I cannot leave this place just yet. I still have things left to do," the Dark Dragon replied, shaking his head.

"Um, Bishop, is there something..." As a student, Totori was not yet accustomed to dealing with figures like a Bishop, so she could only answer weakly. Could it be that this old man had discovered something?

The Emperor’s mouth twitched for a long time; he suppressed the urge to call someone in to drag the bastard out and behead him. He should have known that a scoundrel like Meng Jun would never obediently escort Cheng Fu.

At that moment, Changning felt as if she were standing beneath a giant mountain, crushed by the immense weight of the peak until she could barely breathe.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up and she clapped her hands together. Su Qingyu felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and his brow twitched.

King Qi was not a man of broad mind; thirty-some years of life as a prince had left him suspicious and paranoid, seeing enemies everywhere. As the eldest legitimate son, he had been firmly suppressed by the prince born to the Noble Consort. Before Prince Qin was reprimanded, he was certainly not the successor everyone favored.

However, the constant stream of distinguished guests visiting the Jiaye Temple stirred up discussions among the people in the capital. Could the Bodhisattvas of Jiaye Temple really be so efficacious? Otherwise, why would the Prince of Chen, the Heir of Wei, and the entire household of the General’s Mansion brave the long journey to reach it?
