Volume 1, Chapter 65: Ulterior Motives

Hearing these sounds, Bai Haoqiang, who was still inside the ordinary dwelling, wore a look of joy. Knowing that the commander and the others had begun their move, it was now time for his own performance.

"Good morning, I've come to see Brother Yichen. I haven't seen him in two days," Yan Jingwan forced a smile.

Narina had light brown hair, deep-set eye sockets, and a high nose bridge. Although her figure and appearance were striking, her gaze carried an undisguised aggressiveness that stung the skin like the eyes of an eagle.

Her voice and demeanor were completely different from just moments ago, and Ji Yichen couldn't help but frown. Wasn't she a bit too childish?

Zhu Gaozhi shuddered again under that gaze, and was about to rise and offer an explanation when the unfilial son's knee somehow pressed firmly down upon his robes.

It was just that due to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years of ice-attribute erosion, its innate attributes had been suppressed by the massive ice element, causing an imbalance of attributes within its body that weighed down its own potential.

Zhang Tian had been waiting outside for a long time. He had taken an arrow to the shoulder today, and his injury was not light. Although imperial physicians had treated the wound upon his return to the palace, an arrow wound of this magnitude was not easily healed. Yet, as Zhu Zhanji's personal guard, since the Grand Heir was leaving the palace, he naturally had to follow.

The Tenth Prince cast a disdainful glance at Physician Gao, who had been chattering incessantly since early morning like someone beating a gong.

If not for the fact that the two men were solidly built and had dog leashes tied tightly around their waists, things might have been different.

Only at this moment, seeing with their own eyes that the almighty sect masters and elders in their hearts had all been defeated in a single move by Ning Chen and trampled underfoot, did they realize that Ning Chen was even more terrifying and monstrous than the rumors suggested.

Given how sensible Han Fu had been earlier, he could have been spared his life and granted an idle title to live out his retirement in peace, yet he still insisted on stirring up trouble. Those who could survive by lying low simply insisted on rushing toward their own demise.

However, this Wizard Saint's attention was now entirely focused on a middle-aged man leaning against the back of a tree, letting out a yawn.

Jun Yan simply could not set his mind at ease. When he left, he had witnessed with his own eyes the entire cave being completely overrun by black evil Qi.

Xia Shiguang successfully obtained ten percent of the shares of the Xia Group and secured a seat on the board of directors. Due to Xia Shiguang's return, the external gossip and rumors surrounding the Xia Group had also subsided considerably.

Jun Yan was not surprised to find Young Master Wan here. Since the most crucial part of his plan was about to begin, it was well within his expectations that Young Master Wan would come to boost his morale.

A Qiao's eyes also revealed a look of sorrow. If it weren't for protecting them and preventing them from being captured by Yuan's army, these people would have had a complete chance to save their own lives.

Once the land was divided, each family farmed their own plots, independent of one another. Most people chose to endure whatever they could. When the village chief embezzled all the village's assets, not a single villager uttered a word.

One of them seemed to be trying to dissuade the person who had spoken out, but the one sitting in the middle stood up resolutely and walked straight toward the gloomy-looking "Kayaba".

This job was not particularly difficult. After all, Hurricane was currently trapped in adversity, much like a quagmire or swamp. Not only was retaining equity extremely dangerous, but it also required continuously pumping in massive amounts of capital—something not everyone could bear. Therefore, selling off the equity was the best choice for Anders' family.

"This is..." Wendang narrowed his eyes, pulling a somewhat irregularly shaped golden wine bottle from the gap between the bottom shelf of the wine rack and the floor, and began to examine it closely.

Fortunately, only two fingers had come this time. If the entire Dark Fingers had mobilized, they might very well have exposed their identities as Dark Elves.

Not yet in her teens, wielding the Sun and Moon twin blades, dressed in green robes that outlined a graceful figure, with bright eyes and white teeth, she turned out to be a stunning beauty.

This was inadvertently discovered by Zhuge Liuyun, but unfortunately, it was already too late. Utilizing the movement techniques imparted by Chen Feng, Zhuge Liuyun managed to rescue only Yan Hongye, and he himself was severely injured.

Seeing Shizhi Jialian charging forward with resolute determination and risking his life, Shou Wanjie, as the strongest among the Four Kings, immediately stepped forward to cleave open the battle circle.

Dai Zong let out a long sigh. Time was limited now, and the troops that could be mobilized within three days needed to be deployed together.

"What is there to stroll about? If I keep strolling, my empire will become someone else's! No more strolling, I am returning to the palace." The Emperor was furious, truly burning with rage, and he hurriedly wanted to rush back to the palace.

As for the hunter's wine condensed by the natural breweries existing within the hunting grounds, even the lowest grade would be blue hunter's wine, superior to green hunter's wine.

"Alright! My Lady Sovereign." Seeing her excuse dismantled, Mei'er smiled sheepishly and darted like a wisp of smoke into Aydon's chest.

The next day, Fuling woke up early to help Yun Qingyi wash and dress, but no amount of makeup could quite conceal the fatigue on Yun Qingyi's face. Fortunately, her overall appearance remained lovely, save for that scar, which was cleverly masked by her hair.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Church of Light launched two super-scale counter-offensives, temporarily driving the undead army back to the rear along the line of the Avorna Snow Mountains. For nearly a thousand years of warfare, this was the first time the Undead race had been forced to retreat due to the offensive of the Human Alliance. Faced with such a grim situation, the battlefield on Earth appeared insignificant by comparison.
