Chapter 28

Yet she knew all too well that she could not contend with him now, not for any other reason, but simply because he no longer cared for her.

Under that overwhelming pressure, everyone except Miko Kamibayashi and Yayoi Himegimiya felt as if they were walking into a category twelve typhoon, finding it difficult even to breathe.

But Zongzheng Yi was beyond listening to reason; he told Su Jin that he had made full preparations and would be able to lead his troops to seize the throne within a month.

Wu Jiancheng coldly interrupted. Yu Zhiyuan could afford to be reckless, but he could not, nor could the position of General Manager of Leiman. Otherwise, it would only destroy Leiman itself.

He kept recalling that look Su Jin had given him, and he was constantly worried that she might not want to keep this child.

Although there had been no further attacks on other villages, as long as those black beasts remained, the area within tens of miles of Thundercloud Mountain would remain far more dangerous than before.

At that moment, a sense of madness from having her ritual interrupted washed over Elena, accompanied by a deep, encroaching fear and unease.

"The method might be the same, but my mother did it because she cared for me. Are you doing this for Miko's sake?" Minamoto no Kiyosumi asked.

It wasn't that he had lost his memory, just that he had forgotten a few things after drinking, but now, in this familiar place, facing a familiar face, he suddenly remembered.

This sound, like an explosion in the silent air, startled them both instantly.

As expected, they hadn't been on the road long the next day before they were intercepted by a dozen people, accompanied by a warm welcome of various venomous insects.

In the afternoon, I was sitting by the tea table lost in thought when I suddenly heard a knock at the door. I sat up and asked, "Who is it?" Then I saw an old man and a youth enter the shop.

"Guan Ting, who are you intending to kill? Why not tell this Prince about it?" Inside the inn, a cold, clear voice drifted out unhurriedly. The guards immediately stepped aside to clear a path. Mo Xiurao, his hair still white as snow, appeared before everyone, holding Ye Li's hand.

Nothing had ever been this chaotic before. You finally find a thread to follow, only to look closer and realize it’s all fake—not a single thing is true. In the midst of such tangled strife, you really cannot make sense of anything.

In that instant, although the Ruyi Jingu Bang could not unleash as much combat power as the Blade of Slaughter, the fourth layer of the Chaos Strike, which contained the profound mystery of destruction, allowed the Ruyi Jingu Bang to stand on equal footing with the Blade of Slaughter, making it hard to determine which was superior.

Zhou Qing’s eyes flickered. He was on high alert, unable to confirm whether those two immortals had discovered him and were using this method to ambush him.

"Are you going to defy the Master's orders and attack the Four Seas Manor?" The other person was also dressed in night-traveling gear, their face covered by a black veil, their voice altered by internal energy.

Once he truly entered the Immortal Realm, he would be a low-level existence, similar to the lowest-ranking True Martial Artist in the Four Heavens, ostracized and despised everywhere.

For an avatar of a Master of the Universe descending upon the Primordial Continent to break through this triple seal was even more difficult than the true body of a Master of the Universe advancing to the Dao Domain Saint Sovereign level.

"It is the Moon Soul Flash. Our people have completed the mission!" said the burly man leading the Moon Elves. In his hand was a curved bow, though its specific use was unknown.

Therefore, he now felt it necessary to do something for the Qin family. If he could use the hands of a great demon to suppress the Zhao family single-handedly, then even after the Ancestor passed away, other families would not dare to do anything to the Qin family.

From the moment he fused with his predecessor's soul and promised to do his utmost to protect the Great Shang, Zi Xin knew clearly that a war with Xiqi was inevitable. To emerge victorious in the War of the Shang and Zhou and the Investiture of the Gods, beyond strengthening himself, he had to constantly find ways to weaken the noble families and other vassals who were holding him back.

"Director Han, how can I stop that thief without alerting the enemy? Should I check the yellow and white cards?" Liang Ruguo asked while observing.

He understood, but the matter before Xiao Botian was even more complex. How should he handle this thorny issue?

"SkyNet supports thousands of people; it certainly won't miss this one. By the way, seal the records of this entire affair and do not let it spread," Shen Ying instructed.

Especially since she was a vase stuffed into his life; besides being a distraction when he was annoyed, he really didn't know what other use she had.

"Then I'm going to sleep." Hao Lan rushed over, threw herself onto the bed, and fell asleep instantly. Feng finally let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Botian tried to make small talk to cheer her up, but it had no effect. She remained gloomy. Xiao Botian could understand his sister's mood at that moment, so he held her hand, telling jokes while they wandered the streets.

They did not fear the acerbic and sharp-tongued Leng Cui; being mocked and insulted a few times would not kill them. But a single glance from Leng Yu was enough to make them break into a cold sweat, for he was the type who would truly bury them.

Compared to current salt-boiling methods, this technique had lower costs, higher yields, and was more likely to disrupt the market, allowing salt to be completely nationalized.

Xiang Yang watched the two youths who had suddenly begun to frolic, his inner worries easing slightly. He followed behind them, a sweet smile gradually appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Although Qi Fang had already fled, his cultivation remained; his speed would certainly not be slow. How could he possibly catch up?

Hou Tianlu was busy untying his clansmen when Chen Qingchi heard a cold "Get up" beside her. She looked up to see that Bai Mao had been following them for some time.

Chen Qingchi woke up to the smell of disinfectant. Jin Hong was sitting by her bed, intently playing on his phone. Seeing her wake up, he quickly brought her water.

This time, one could perform a "turn ten into ten thousand" trick. This slot machine took up a huge amount of space and could easily hold tens of thousands of coins.

While listening to the phone ring, Su Jian guarded against sounds from outside, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.

She cried while clutching Lu Sinian tightly, unwilling to let him rush to Su Jian's side.

"Yes, sister, I have changed. I want to become stronger. I will never let those shameless things bully you again. I want you to have a life of your own, rather than just knowing how to live for her, your younger sister."

Zhuang Xiyan looked at the "Precautions" she had just taken from the coffee table, written in her own hand, along with some of her favorite snacks, and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
