Volume 1, Chapter 31: Hu Yuzhen Comes Calling
At that moment, the true culprit came into Xia Nian Nian’s sight.
Yang Zhan then began to vividly recount the fierce battle between the Mad Blade Ancestor and the Sword Saint of Shangyang Mountain, adding in the Mad Blade Ancestor’s enlightenment process in the Cave Heaven Valley. Even the Lord of the Netherworld Valley listened with great enthusiasm, exclaiming that this was how a peerless master should be.
He had done many things for the Sword Sect, including persuading Liu Nu to ascend the throne, and even orchestrating Liu Nu’s extortion of the city’s wealthy families under the guise of a medicinal corpse. Most of these schemes were his doing behind the scenes.
“No need for your help,” Chu Ying’er interrupted coldly, while Partridge glanced at Li Luo with a smirk, implying that the latter’s offer was unappreciated and better left alone. After all, five thousand taels of gold were far more enticing than a few scattered silver coins.
“Li Yi!” Alice gritted her teeth in frustration nearby. She had been worried moments before, only to be toyed with by Li Yi once again.
“So, you have been following me all along,” Sima Chongcheng said coldly. “Why did Leader Zhao go to such lengths without knowing what he wanted from me?”
“Furthermore, he was the only player who exchanged ten gold coins for an unusable piece of equipment. Because of this, he triggered a hidden quest, which led to the appearance of the main character, Edward, and obtained the map of the novice village.”
“My god… the lord’s bloodline power isn’t innate but gradually enhanced over time?!” Huo Yan exclaimed in shock.
“I don’t know who my parents are. Since I was little, I’ve lived with an old man surnamed Li. He said he found me in the wilderness. He’s been very kind to me and is the only person I can trust on this island.”
What surprised them even more was that, besides the fifth leader of the Azure Dragon Group who inexplicably showed up here, they also discovered nearly ten followers accompanying him. Judging by the luggage they carried, it seemed they intended to settle here for the long term.
Princess Youran saw Su Jiu’an’s cold expression and dared not plead on Gu Tingjun’s behalf anymore. If he wished to regain his master’s trust, it would require considerable effort, but he deserved this fate.
“Fresh corpses?” Tang Feng was still pondering Han Jiang’s words, which churned his stomach.
Ma Yunfei watched the negotiation between Ma Shichang and Lin Feng, his hands slowly moving toward his lower back, where a jet-black pistol was concealed.
In midair, Fu Changchun shouted loudly as he swung his fists, unleashing a barrage upon the cavalry below.
With three days to spare, Wu Fan first returned to the Dragon Clan and would fly back on the third day.
Such a gifted martial prodigy, destined to be an unparalleled figure in the future of martial arts, had tragically fallen at his own hands. He could not help but feel a profound sense of sorrow and regret.
As the morning light bathed the rosy clouds, the six set out once again. Beneath the sun, they galloped through the desert filled with hope.
Along the way, Wu Jibin Heng occasionally attempted to spark conversation to catch Chu Qiao’s attention. Unfortunately, she only listened silently without responding, occasionally asking, “When will we reach Wuxi Ridge?” and then remaining silent once more.
His grandmother had prepared meals for two days and bought a large bag of instant noodles before returning to visit his grandfather in their hometown, saying she would be back by Monday afternoon.
Though Chen San was a cultivator, from the time he first stepped onto the path of immortality until now, two-thirds of his life had been spent wandering and struggling outside, unable to return home. Given such circumstances, his behavior was only natural.
