Volume 1, Chapter 59: Just Because of Eating a Chicken

"How should I know? I just got him settled and called to ask you first, didn't I? If you aren't coming, I'll notify his family and his fiancée for tomorrow." Xing Feng's tone remained mocking, irritating me for no reason, especially the deliberate emphasis on the word "fiancée," which made me even more furious.

"Chen Tianyi, what are you talking about... You're going too far!" Tang Ya's tears finally began to fall drop by drop. Anyone else could criticize her, but Chen Tianyi had no right. They had known each other for seven or eight years since college, and she had given him her first time as well. Did he really not know what kind of person she was?

"Of course. King Zhou is exceptionally brave and highly prestigious, and he has the full support of the ministers. Look at the current prosperity of the Shang Dynasty; doesn't that prove he will be an enlightened monarch of a generation?" Wen Zhong replied without the slightest hesitation.

However, this was merely an ideal state... The reality was that just a few days after he had finally managed some peace and quiet—not even lasting a full week—trouble came knocking on his door once again.

Yet when the disciples of the Clan of Elucidation met them, their attitude was entirely different. They demanded that the disciples of the Clan of Interception step aside, declaring in no uncertain terms that failure to do so would mean death, as it was decreed by the heavens.

"You, you guys." Wind and Rain Undaunted clearly had not expected matters to develop this way and was momentarily too stunned to react.

"Mister, I beg you to show mercy and let me go!" The chubby boss grabbed the hem of Chen Tianyi's trousers on the ground, wailing in utter despair, but was met only by Chen Tianyi's merciless kick.

"If even a core member like Garrett is a member of HYDRA, then S.H.I.E.L.D. is in for massive trouble—" Old Duggan suddenly sighed.

A heart shattering like glazed glass, and the high-raised Mo Xie sword pointed straight at her own chest.

Seeing the main hall crowded with guests and the maidservants bustling about serving tea and water, she very sensibly walked around it to avoid adding to their troubles.

Afterwards, she had no idea how much time had passed before the sun finally deigned to show its face and chase away the thick fog, just like the mist clearing from her heart, finally easing her heavy worries.

With a single downward grab, he seized the Temple of Wuluo, and amid the pulsing of spiritual energy, he sought to refine it and make it his own.

"How do you know about the Night Underworld Palace? Why did you run out? Aren't you afraid I'll tell Xianjun?" Su Zhiwu's tone caused the temperature in the room to drop instantly.

His concerns were not unfounded. Leaving aside whether there might be other fierce beasts, that vulture beast alone was likely still prowling nearby, and remaining here any longer would be exceedingly unwise.

Seeing that the pilgrims and their disciples had joined forces with the Great Emperor Xuanwu and could not be shaken off for the moment, the Thunder Tiger Fiend Lord instructed the Eastern Emperor Celestial Master to leave first. He then led his two virtuous brothers, the Fierce Tiger Fiend Lord and the Dragon Tiger Fiend Lord, to set up a defense and cover the Eastern Emperor Celestial Master's retreat from the Northern Heavenly Gate.

Lin Peng tightly grasped the other person's hand and said in a deep voice. Although the distance between them was almost body-to-body, Lin Peng still could not see the other person's face. Total pitch darkness surrounded them, devoid of even a sliver of light.

I forced myself to calm down and recounted everything that had just happened to the other party.

In truth, both families had originally harbored the same intention: to gradually chip away at the growing strength of the Qing family. Yet even their ally, the Meng family, had no idea why the Gu family had suddenly gone mad in its targeting of the Qing family, seemingly ready to burn all bridges regardless of the cost.

Gu Luo took in everything that had transpired, a lingering wariness toward Patriarch Qing Heng taking root in his heart.

Yet when she raised her head, the smile on her face vanished completely, transforming her once again into that serious person speaking to Qin Yue from Su Xia's perspective.

Mo Wu surmised that since this had once been a frequent hunting ground where no haunting had ever been reported previously, the boatman who ferried them here had mentioned that hunters had only recently begun dying one after another in the Azure Cloud Valley.

The Sea of Consciousness remained as crystal-blue as when he had first regained consciousness. Within the transparent domain, a layer of icy-blue flame still flickered atop the Golden Soul Bead. Waves of piercing chill radiated outward from those cold flames.

He had visited this place before with his elders, but ordinary rooms alone had left him wide-eyed with astonishment, let alone the exclusive Zone A club, which he rarely had the chance to enter. Getting a glimpse of it today gave him plenty of bragging rights for the future.

Moreover, Lin Yi estimated that among the ancient arts and ancient energies, divine artifacts should hardly be lacking. It was likely that the divine artifacts in their possession were offensive rather than defensive in nature, which was why they had not been displayed.

As they spoke, the two Martial Asura powerhouses had already closed in. One of them was a two-star Water-attribute Martial Asura. Seeing Zhu Shuang block his path, he executed a hand seal, manifesting none other than the Seal of Water Spirit.

Zhu Shuang was no fool; he understood instantly. It seemed that while the Seal of the Dead possessed such formidable might, martial arts of this caliber must have at least eleven counterparts! Twelve Heavenly-tier martial arts—what kind of concept was that?

However, Hong Chengchou had clearly miscalculated. Laizhou City did indeed possess cannons, albeit only four heavy bronze cannons mounted atop the city walls, each weighing four to five hundred catties. Moving them out of the city was naturally impossible, yet the firing range of the repeating rifles was already no less than that of the bronze cannons.
