Chapter 157: Wang Yulou, You Really Know How to Put on a Show! (10.5K)

The Dropwater Heaven Hall stood deep within the Immortal Lord's residence, as if guarding this paradise itself.

Inside the hall, carved beams and painted rafters gleamed in gold and jade, yet the clear chime of the bell rendered it serene and solemn.

Each strike of the bell seemed to knock upon the soul, its echo slowly rippling through the hall, mingling with faint incense smoke that spread through the air.

Deep within the hall, though far away, Yulou still felt an inexplicable presence from Gong Teyan, who sat before the Immortal Lord's divine form.

Zhong Kui was proud of this arrangement, believing it a stroke of genius, yet the inspiration came from a dream, as if awakened by an unseen hand.

A downward slash? Yes—when two armies face off, with sword raised, the mind is empty, the spirit clear; one swing cuts through, there is only me, invincible; after the blade passes, who cares if life or death lies ahead?

Moreover, one who rules and controls zombies would not die at the hands of a mere giant serpent.

The original plan was to write around one million five hundred thousand characters, but during writing, two side plots went awry.

"But how does this relate to Prince Heng's generous gift of the General's Mansion to me?" Feng Tian still did not understand.

So all of this means Qingcheng's situation has changed—and Chen Qihé now dares to act openly, clearly indicating that the old bastard has made ample preparations.

At that moment, the phone rang—a number he didn't recognize. Qin Hao didn't bother to answer and hung up immediately. It rang again—he hung up again. It rang a third time—he hung up again.

"Are you trying to say that because we crash-landed in the swamp, the entire Ark sank beneath the continent's crust and vanished?" the old scholar asked again.

Upon arriving at the Broadcast Department, before Ning Churan could seek Shen Qinian, the staff there approached her first.

Qu Zhaodi had no hope of finding Heimu among Earthlings; he guessed it must originate beyond Earth, perhaps even its true form dwelling in outer space farther than the Milky Way.

These wings grew in a most peculiar way: the left feathers were red, the right feathers white—as if each wing had absorbed red moonlight and white spiritual source water, their colors identical.

Liu Ye and Zhang Liao received Liu Ze's imperial decree and began mobilizing troops, awaiting the great wind's arrival. Yet the southern breeze remained faint; even at sunset, it showed no sign of strengthening.

In moments, Tian Sheng had flown hundreds of miles. To his surprise, he encountered no further danger—had the Four Seas Jade Palace truly decided not to provoke him?

"What a grand display." Finally seeing Wu Jun's true face, his voice carried no less authority, tinged with an air of profound mystery.

Outside, the sky shifted instantly—moments ago clear and cloudless, now dark clouds gathered, foretelling violent storms. The heavens turned gloomy, like a beauty whose mood had turned—beautiful still, yet chilling.

"Good boy, as long as you're here, I won't die. I can't bear to leave you." Chen Langya's voice was hoarse; his blood-stained hand gently stroked An Conglin.

Huo Qingqing felt uneasy seeing this. She had eagerly anticipated Lü Xiang'er marrying into the General's Mansion. Now that this had happened, even if she were Lü Xiang'er herself, she wouldn't be happy. But for her brother's sake, Huo Qingqing still had to comfort Lü Xiang'er.

Everyone was stunned by Hong Haier's sudden transformation—even the Winged Demon forgot to continue summoning wind blades to attack.

Hu Weika's spear weighed about fifty catties; as he neared Lu Bu, he thrust without warning. Lu Bu raised his halberd sharply, blocking the strike. Hu Weika's arms trembled from the impact; he muttered inwardly: This man has tremendous strength.

This excuse was flimsy, but no other reason existed. Lü Xiang'er and Zhao Xia exchanged glances and nodded helplessly. After brief discussion, they decided to tell Lü Erniang at lunch, then take her to the capital tomorrow, accompanied by Zao'er.
