Chapter 668: Dirge of Willow City

When Li Tingwang walked out of the Kaifeng Prefecture yamen, the sky was already full of stars. The cold night wind blew past, and his somewhat jumbled mind grew a bit clearer, but his heart grew even colder.

Fang Qing was absent, the main force of the Yinqiang Xiaojie Army had gone to Dengzhou, and now Bianzhou had no troops to borrow.

What was to be done?

Li Tingwang did not know, but he was clear about one thing: An Shouzhong probably could not hold back the Control Crane Army.

Let alone the troops and horses of Guanzhong, watching like tigers from Tong Pass.

Yi Feng, on the other hand, charged toward the soldiers surrounding them, deliberately pushing the aura of his perfected Profound Spirit Realm to its absolute peak.

Suan Tian's eyes flickered; he indeed understood that this matter had nothing to do with the Nine Directions World, and since no one on their side had actually died, pursuing it further would yield no results—the competition still had to continue.

"Thank you, but that won't be necessary anymore. This time I'm partnering with Sister Shisha!" Bai Yao'er said with a squinting smile.

Li Cong understood Kang Dingyu's feelings very well—this was what they called: when it doesn't concern you, you stay calm; when it does, you panic. Kang Dingyu's flustered state was related to the special feelings he had for Mo Xiaosheng.

Mo Xiaosheng looked left and right, unable to see how this round steel bar differed from the others, still less able to imagine how it had become an escape route.

Then, Li Tianyi without hesitation felt around with his hand again and found this guy's chest wound, and used the tip of his blade to pry it open. The guy screamed in agony once more, and at that moment, he grabbed a wooden stick nearby and bit down on it, snapping the stick right through.

Spiritual energy could be stored not only in "jade" but equally in blocks of "glass," so spiritual energy storage vessels were extremely cheap.

"What about those 'super life forms'? Can you sense their magnetic fields and auras too?" Li Zhi thought for a moment and asked.

Chai Hua took two steps forward; Niu Gang did not move, and the distance between them was already about two meters.

At this moment, the steward who happened to come over to serve tea also heard Xing Xiaosen's painful cries from this side.

"You go too far. If I don't teach you a lesson, I cannot quench the fire in my heart." Xue Yun's gaze was like lightning, fixing on Song Luoshui's fair, delicate face.

"Yuqing, we should go back." Ning Zhi had been out with her long enough; if they didn't return soon, the Northern Dipole Academy would grow restless.

With Li Nan confronting him ahead, weapon in hand, and the bald man spraying gunfire from behind, this Great Vajra seemed to already be in dire straits—but was that truly the case?

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" As Han Shui'er spoke these words, Jing Moxuan's tall, slender figure had already arrived before her.

She hid in a quiet corner, burying her head and weeping; this silent corner seemed to offer her a sliver of comfort.

Above, Empress Dowager Jiang was pleading for Jiu Huang, and below, the prince he felt most guilty toward—and who was also the future emperor of the celestial dynasty—was pleading for her as well. Zhao Yun knew that among the ministers in the great hall below, many of those holding high office also wished for him to reopen the investigation into Xu Yang's case; they simply had not spoken of it.

Because in the hearts of the beastfolk, you could kill them, you could slaughter an entire tribe, but you absolutely could not show any disrespect to the statue of the War God—that was the only deity in the beastfolk's hearts.

Everyone fell silent at once. Jiang Chaoping and the others had brought Wang Peng out to relax, and no one expected to suddenly run into Huo Zhibei and his group. Huo Zhibei's question seemed innocuous on the surface, but Jiang Chaoping knew the pain still lingering in Wang Peng's heart, so naturally it was difficult to answer Huo Zhibei.

"Are you joking?" Using willow branches for a person's body—no matter how you thought about it, didn't it seem like this person was crazy?

"I believe some people still don't know about the crisis we currently face. Reconnaissance personnel just reported that a zombie army ten li away is marching toward us."

Not long after, Na Shijie accompanied Zhan Tian to the private room. The moment they saw Zhan Tian, everyone rose to greet him.
