Chapter 95: Come to Our House

Si Yao slept soundly through the night. When she got up in the morning, Xing Jue was nowhere to be seen.

Humming a little tune, she tidied the house from top to bottom. With the exception of the room Xing Jue was currently staying in, every trace of his past two months there had been swept away clean.

That night, Bai Yu called to say that filming for the second day of the fifth episode had wrapped up.

“How did it go?”

Whatever the reason between the two sides, he had never had the right to choose. Watching his reinforcements arrive, the Hong Sect brothers trapped within the formation felt no joy at the prospect of rebirth; instead, their hearts seemed to be crushed by a heavy blow, sinking with a dull ache.

“Brother Dong, you’ve worried us sick.” Huang Cheng blurted out in panic.

The blade in his hand trembled as it pressed against his throat, as if he meant to slash downward, yet he could no longer move it.

“I know the plan you laid out too. By my judgment, no matter what, there’s no way to kill nearly thirty martial grandmasters in one stroke. And I’m no match for that tribe’s chief, Ziche Mao either,” Li Xubo said bleakly. He felt that he was truly old now, no longer able to defend Shalan County City.

The Lin family naturally had their own special methods of investigation. After all, they were an ancient clan of deep foundation. But when they found that the one who had caused all this was actually that Daoist at the Spirit Refinement Realm, the Drunken Sword Immortal Gu Bei, they were utterly stunned.

Yuanye did not return directly to the home he had built for himself in Zhonghua County City. Instead, he first disguised himself as a low-ranking martial artist, making a hidden inspection of sorts, to see what state the nation he had founded was in now, and whether there were any major oversights.

Zhang Che only smiled and said nothing. Just then, the bell for class rang, and he said no more, turning and walking toward the classroom.

Su Dong still wanted to say more, but Mu Mu was no longer in the mood to listen. The news she had just heard was enough to keep her processing it for a long while. Besides, Mu Mu could tell that Su Dong was exhausted. He needed rest.

The ugliness in human nature was laid bare at that moment: if I suffer, then none of you get to have peace.

Though I had entered the memories of my past life, I was a little curious whether what I had experienced was the same as what Liuli had experienced. Since Mother had said so much, she must know something. This was the perfect time to ask her clearly.

After he cast a cold glance in the direction of the Kunlun Ruins and said those words, his figure vanished into the void.

The moment Gilgamesh thrust the Spiral Sword through Zhang Ye, he sensed something strange. There was no sound; that alone could perhaps be explained, even if there had been no crash of armor breaking apart. But there was not even the sound of bone being pierced.

At the Lie family, the clan’s momentum seemed to have reached its peak. Every day, envoys came and went in great numbers, nearly wearing down the threshold. And this was exactly what Holy King Lie Feng wanted.

He did not have Xiaoyong’s Soul-Ravaging Orb. If he did, he could use it to deal with this murderer in spirit-body form with great ease.

A figure leaped in from outside. Under the moonlight, one could faintly make out a body of alluring and exquisite proportions.

Why ask? Such cooperation was nothing but a scheme of betrayal and murder. Xiaoyong had no sect here, nor any family, so he had nothing to fear. What was there to be afraid of?

The higher ranks of the Jiexian faction could only leave with their respective followers. As for whether they would later go to Ancestor Qingye to propose marriage, that would depend on how strongly they felt about Qiushui Tianxin.

“Call Number Six and the others back at once. Have the remaining Corpse-Swallowing Tribe members spread out and scout the Elf Tribe. Once they gather together, we’ll wipe them out in one sweep,” ordered an insect-man with fierce brows and blazing eyes.

“Early preparations are necessary, of course. But between the Wutian Empire and the Giant Hu Kingdom lies a vast mountain range, a natural barrier. For the Wutian army to make it over here will be anything but easy,” the emperor said with a nod.
