Chapter 141: Forces Everywhere Stir

Capital City, Eastern Market.
Gongs and drums thundered, lion dances, dragon dances, and Yangge twists were performed continuously along the streets.
The crowds gathered around, applauding and cheering incessantly.
After a while of lively celebration, Cai Lun, dressed in a brocade robe, stepped up to the front of the platform and cupped his hands in a salute.
When the crowd quieted down, he shouted aloud, "Respected elders and fellow villagers..."
Li Shimin waved his hand without looking back, then boarded the carriage accompanied by Pei Xuan and other guards.
In fact, before the matter was thoroughly investigated, not only Meng Xun, but everyone in the Meng estate was under suspicion.
Gradually, Barrett found that his fists could no longer shatter the iceberg. This iceberg seemed to possess some special structure capable of absorbing and diffusing blunt impacts, and its hardness was also beyond imagination. Even a master swordsman would find it difficult to cut through, at most leaving a slight mark.
Shui Yihan knew that the money hadn't been paid enough, but even if they were paid, these people wouldn't handle things seriously, so she could only ask Lin Xi for help in investigating.
As this man approached, everyone, including Don Sai, felt a terrifying, beast-like aura rushing straight at them.
I searched the imperial palace for a while—the longest period I had ever spent searching—yet I still did not see my father, but that young man had truly caught my attention.
Su Qingzhe drove all the way, bringing Ning Yuxin to the office of the company he ran. It was located right between World Avenue and Lujiazui; it looked unassuming, but it was indeed a prime piece of golden real estate.
Lu Ping'er's eyes were filled with astonishment; while she had heard of embroidery being done on brocade, she had never seen it done directly on the human body.
"Understood, there's no rush. The longer I maintain this sickly appearance, the better." Su Moba gave a cold smile, taking the handkerchief handed to him by her to wipe the corner of his mouth.
Moreover, even so, given the capabilities of the Li clan, they were likely still in the lower-middle tier among these family forces, which gave one an idea of the gap between the Li clan and the Waning Moon Tower.
Jiraiya fell into silence once again. There were some things he was not unaware of, but even if he knew, there was nothing he could do to solve them.
When she finally opened her eyes, the sky had already turned pitch black. Ling Yurou felt hungry and wanted to get up, only to find that Nangong Moyun was holding her very tightly. Taking a closer look, he had not yet woken up, yet his hands were so strong, as if he feared she might suddenly fly away.
Its value was immense, but now that Shan Jingyi had obtained the Ice Lotus, he no longer had the bandwidth to care about such things.
Everyone witnessed that utterly shocking scene. At the very moment they looked, the battleground exploded wildly and breathtakingly. A terrifying wave surged rapidly toward all directions at an extreme speed.
Only then did Lu Tianyu notice that the wooden plaque hanging on the cage contained no information at all, save for the price: five hundred million fangs and bones.
The originally cool and refreshing touch instantly became extremely warm, and even the pervasive cyan light instantly turned vibrant.
Liu Ming and the spear-wielding man wore expressions of sheer horror. They stomped hard on the ground and shielded their heads and faces with their hands to avoid being blown away or injured by the violent gale laden with numerous broken branches and flying debris. Although Deidara and the others were not as disheveled as them, solemn expressions still appeared on their faces.
"Hmph!" Cangqiong let out a cold snort. Ah Yu's defeat was within his expectations, but he hadn't expected that neither of them was injured! It seemed that Nangong Moyun, who was left with only a wisp of a soul, was an extremely tricky opponent to deal with.
Ah Yu nodded. By this time, the sky had turned completely dark. The sun was shrouded in gray, gloomy clouds, with heavy, rolling clouds gathering overhead, while faint flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder brewed in the sky.
Even though thousands of miles separated the two ends of the telephone line, Zhang Kun could still faintly perceive the palpable pressure emanating from the other side.
