Chapter 34: So Dashing, Sister Sa
"Wait a moment," Le Xi hurried to put on her clothes. The door of the house was wooden, already moldy and riddled with holes. With Huo Hongming pounding on it so hard, Le Xi feared he might just break it down.
Huo Hongming was anxious. He regretted not asking for his share of the money before coming out. He wanted to live next door to Cui Meiying. In this row of houses, there were only two units, and Huo Hongming worried that if he hesitated, someone else would seize the opportunity.
He continued knocking, "Bang, bang, bang," and suddenly, with a loud crash—
The Diamond Vajra King was unwilling to accept his fate. He widened his eyes, determined to see clearly who this person was. Yet, due to excessive blood loss, his vision blurred, and just as his pupils lost focus, the figure vanished into thin air.
When Gu Dongchen appeared again at the Dugu Manor, the battleground where they had fought was already a wasteland. No one noticed Gu Dongchen's presence, but he was already contemplating how to bring the nine great families under his command.
Gao Gong sighed. How could he not understand? With Emperor Longqing’s character, giving him these things was like playing music to a cow; it would be utterly useless.
"Whatever it is, we're not easy targets. If soldiers come, we'll fight; if water comes, we'll block it with earth. Why should we fear them? The only ones left are Purple Smoke Valley and a few other sects," Chang Rutian sneered coldly. He was a man of decisive action, ruthless if needed. At worst, he would risk everything, even his life, for the treasure of the ancient sword cultivators.
After reaching level ten, one could learn the skill "Wind Sweeps the Clouds," which was even more formidable than the Thunderwind Sword Technique. Fang Zizai felt as though a cat had scratched his heart a thousand times—restless and uneasy. After failing to refine a batch of elixirs, he finally gave up.
At last, after dealing with all the formalities, he was assigned to a cave dwelling and finally had a chance to be alone with Zuo Shi. In that tender moment, as he inhaled the fragrance of her hair, everything felt worthwhile.
Among the group, Jin Suxian, who had been holding Lin Xi the entire time, was so frightened that she buried herself in his arms. Lin Xi, whose wound was jostled, didn't push her away. He gritted his teeth against the piercing pain and tried to steady his heart, which was pounding wildly after the explosion.
When this sword intent appeared, everyone on Cloud-Rolling Platform realized that the collapse of heaven and earth was over, the reversal of the cosmos had vanished, and all that had happened was nothing but an illusion.
Near noon, Luo Xin's family entered the county town. Their plan was already set. The four of them went straight to the grain shop, spent over fifty taels of silver to purchase a thousand catties of grain, and then headed to their new home in the county.
However, Liu Hong had already grasped the underlying meaning of his words. If the soul connection between Voldemort and his followers was not completely severed, messages could still be passed on. If news that Dumbledore had killed the Basilisk and Voldemort got out, their entire plan would be ruined. The so-called split would become a joke.
Their sect had fought with the Sword Sect of Heaven and Earth many times and knew all too well the fate of being trapped in a battle formation: if not exhausted to death, then killed outright. Without reinforcements, there was no chance of escape.
He glanced at Wan Changsheng and Li Xin. Thanks to Ye Tian's special protection, Wan Changsheng was mostly unharmed and now was only coughing a little.
Lin Jiatong was the real boss behind Lizi International. Her aura and innate temperament were beyond question—many celebrities could not even come close. After all, Lin Jiatong was not an actress but the one who made stars out of others.
A flicker of doubt crossed Li Qiang’s mind. He had never encountered such a situation before—being asked to tutor someone’s child without ever meeting the child or being told any real information. Could this be a setup by a competitor?
With a bitter smile, Wesley nodded. Niu Xi had been captured by the Church of Light because of Wei Xiaoxin. After being forcibly baptized by the Pope, Niu Xi had become nothing more than their puppet.
"You can use a Breath Concealment Charm to hide your title now. This is a permanent title, so cherish it," Ares said with a mischievous grin.
