Chapter 139

Fortunately, Xiao Hongmei didn't ask how Lin Su would proceed next; the meeting dismissed Lin Su's matter for later discussion.

Besides, the Arrow Frog and the Demon Mountain are still inside the command vehicle—they'll contact us if anything happens.

Gu Yun decisively defeated both opponents, advancing to the top eight; his strength left the disciples below speculating about the final outcome.

Following the program's schedule, the four judges stepped onto the stage first, though they truly had no function today—no voting rights or decision-making power.

He never neglected his cultivation of the Star Scripture; he had already pushed the second star to its limit, but without breaking through, he couldn't cultivate the third star.

Zhou Nan compared these to car interiors from the future and offered many valuable suggestions, all of which Yanike recorded.

Streams of Fire Dragon's essence surged like tidal waves, converging into the flame-being's body; instantly, the firelight overwhelmed the golden light, illuminating the entire cave.

After he released his grip, circulation returned and his complexion brightened slightly, but the excessive exertion of his performance caused his tendons to bulge violently.

With nothing else to do, Gu Yun activated the Three Parts Mixed Primordial Art to cultivate his force, but as the force passed through his meridians, it felt like being cut by knives—excruciatingly painful.

As they spoke, the workers had already begun. He Leisi stared, frozen—he saw a sight he had never witnessed, could never have imagined, even one that seemed absurd.

Seeing the skeleton man scatter to the ground, Lin Hao seized the opportunity, stepping forward to retrieve fragments; if he could collect a few bones, how would the skeleton restore itself? What if he took the skull? Then it would be a headless skeleton.

The instant Gan Jing opened the door, what came to mind wasn't anything else—it was a certain American basketball star who once said, "I want to drink Scarlett's bathwater."

If I don't show off my strength, this old man might pull some more tricks.

The Second Division of Yangzhou's City Garrison and the Third Division of the Imperial Guard were stationed on the east and west sides respectively, while the isolated Luoya District in Zhenbei housed the Southern Beggar Sect's main headquarters.

"Even if you sever the karmic ties, I'll still find you—by your aura!" Long Lingdao laughed wildly.

"Of course we won't give it to them for free! But what if we're willing to buy it?" Yang Yan said.

The evening glow blazed like blood, igniting from the horizon where sky met earth, staining the entire land crimson.

The cold wind stirred his tattered sash, gently billowing; though his facial expression and mournful tone were perfectly rendered, the conspicuous leg hairs on his thighs ruined the aura of dignity, drawing peals of tinkling laughter from the onlookers.

The sect forum's notification system is powerful—all sect disciples receive alerts, unless they disable them, which only happens during seclusion.

Ye Yunyue was still dazed when she saw Gu Jianli riding back on horseback; the steward and several maids and guards from the prince's mansion hurried over.

"Good! Go notify the four city gates—tell them I'm arresting a traitor from our sect; have them cooperate and seal every gate!" Du Gu Yaowang said, his eyes narrowing into slits, a smug smile curling at his lips.

My lips twitched slightly, but I said nothing—only raised a hand to rub my still-drowsy eyes and resumed my grand dream. Yet in my dream, a strange name seemed to flicker faintly into view.

"Good doggie, your godfather knows you're a good child; your godfather isn't sad anymore." The Free-and-Easy Prince smiled at Doggie, but his heart bled. They were so alike—in gaze, in contour, as if one and the same! It made the Free-and-Easy Prince involuntarily recall his brutally slain son.

Care? She knew she cared—more than she'd realized—but what good did caring do?

"Don't worry, a true man keeps his word—I said I'd die for a gentleman, and I won't break it. Let me rest a bit, gather my strength; otherwise, I might die before we even pay the bill." Xu Hui leaned back against the sofa, feigning sleep.

Gu Jianli's gaze froze; suddenly she pushed Ji Xuanke away. Without his support and unable to swim, she tumbled headfirst into the water.

Zhong Nan assumed that, given Ma Gui's seniority, the man should at least be a regional commander, likely stationed in one of the Nine Border Strongholds. But after reviewing the list of officers in the Nine Garrisons, he found no trace of Ma Gui's name.

This was an academic sanctuary, where few chased celebrities; here, she was simply a student, so she didn't need to care about anything.

He thought, and a massive cleaver appeared in his hand—its blade shimmered with cold light, radiant with magical aura, clearly no ordinary weapon.

"Zhuo Ge, Chen the 'Evil' One, Chen Su, when he left for Mengbang, told me: all orders to Lu Zhi must be delivered verbally, face-to-face—isn't sending letters unsafe?" Geng Erli didn't care about details and lacked Deng Zilong's capacity for processing—his doubts surfaced immediately.

Without looking to see where the opponent was, Night Empress swung her blade with fearless momentum, striking out purely by instinct.

Hua Yu the True Person was truly panicked—just now, two promising disciples from their West Sea Palace died again.

"What did you say? What happened to Grandpa?" Mu Niyu grew even more frantic—had she killed Grandpa? What exactly was going on?

This piece of flesh was a fragment of a high-grade spiritual beast that the Treasure Rabbit had hidden away when sealing itself on the Moon—originally meant to restore its cultivation after breaking the seal; it was one of its own flesh fragments, yet somehow the people of the Northern Pole retrieved it from the Moon.

"Your Majesty, please instruct," Lin Zhuo sensed something, drew a deep breath—this matter could never be resolved by logic; only severing emotional ties could end it. But would Empress Li sever her ties?
