Chapter 163: The Empress Competition

Go.

After just one round of combat, the dozen riders chasing them were all slain; Ku Lin’s elite lost one man and wounded another—the wounded man was beyond saving, his intestines spilled out from a gut wound, so Ku Lin swiftly ended his brother’s suffering with a clean cut.

Several others awaited near the city gate, and before the gates closed, Ku Lin escorted the carriage out of Ravenna.

Quintus now felt a chill in his limbs; he

Brother Zhang, seeing this, had no choice but to leave the meeting room reluctantly. He arrived at the front desk, saw the receptionist, and instantly felt a surge of heat, swallowed hard, and sought a place to release his desire.

“I have no such ability to assist Miss Liu,” Yue Shuang said coolly, continuing to play her tune with focus.

It also allowed her to feel from this kind big brother what safety felt like—and that sense of safety made her lose her judgment.

Within the Hundred Sects, a white-bearded old man with a ruddy face, seeing Heiyao’s actions, shook with rage, his beard trembling as he pointed at their departing backs and cursed—but could do nothing.

Wang Xinlian stormed toward the grandfather and granddaughter, jabbing her finger at Shi Sheng’s nose, disregarding the old man’s presence, and screamed: “You slut, you’ve dug such a huge hole for me—do you think I’ll just let you off like this?”

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yonglie brought his two fingers together and swept them lightly across the man’s throat; in the cold wind, a blade of qi flashed and vanished.

Hu Xiu hurried over and saw Liao Changqing and Hu Ling’er standing unharmed not far away.

After this cycle formed, Lin Yu felt his body’s channels opened completely—even the Shattered Wind Fist he had cultivated became fully controllable.

Lu Zhi Liang watched Lu Zhiyan, frantic and furious yet helplessly resigned, and secretly relished it.

From the tone, she knew things were bad; Han Yanyao immediately sent a message to her mother, not even bothering to lock the company door.

But since he was running a business, he had to prioritize customers; Old Chen could only reluctantly sell the book he cherished.

But when he saw Luo Zhirong, he still felt dissatisfied: These people you brought—aren’t they a bit too half-hearted?

Dark eyebrows, red lips, half-exposed bosom. Du Feng stared, nearly entranced; Xiao Xiang was an otherworldly immortal, An Yao a lively, adorable sprite—but this woman possessed a mesmerizing, intoxicating charm.

The wedding of the Emperor’s own sister—such a grand affair—made security alone no light task.

After all, in today’s society, when it comes to reach, there is only one way: word of mouth.

The power of faith still flowed in endlessly, but Song Zheng’s Yang Shen felt a wave of “fatigue”; he ended his cultivation, rose, and walked out of the grand hall.

He had invited Romain Rolland to visit China, but Rolland only said he might consider it—not outright accepting.

Most crucially, he had spent immense effort, summoned many people, poured in vast sums of money—yet in the end, the opponent simply used a feather to deflect a thousand pounds and outmaneuvered him.

The training covered dialogue, demeanor, movements, and during this time, they had to wear their custom-tailored ancient costumes at all times, never removing them except while sleeping.

Xie Na knew Star had visited last time; to be honest, if he hadn’t been overseas, he would have gone—desperately wanted to go—because Star was Xie Na’s idol; Xie Na, who called himself the top comedian on the mainland, knew full well how far he was from Star.

Secretly, the Northern Garrison, the Taiping Society, and the Jiangbei Alliance had all been clearing out the remnants of the Wu Clan.

An old acquaintance whose situation closely mirrored Xie Junxing’s—former Enforcement Elder of the Four United Gangs, Yang Chang’an.
