Chapter 775: Progress Requires Dignity

From Chang'an to Hexi, there were roughly three routes one could take. Namely, the famous "Longyou Hexi Road," the "Tuyuhun Road," and the "Uighur Road."

The Uighur Road went first to Lingzhou and then across the desert to Liangzhou; this route was essentially not worth considering—neither Fang Chongyong nor the aides under his command wanted to take such a "shortcut."

The consequences of provoking the Shuofang Army alone were more than they could bear.

The Tuyuhun Road, on the other hand, required first passing through He

"Heh, your speed is indeed not bad, but compared to me, you're still far behind!" After saying this, Feng Xianyue likewise vanished from the spot.

Bai Qiu'an slowly recited it in a completely unfamiliar language; though he truly did not recognize these characters, his subconscious told him that these characters meant exactly this.

At Cuicloud Peak he had obtained several stalks of spirit grass, which he also needed to plant. He had to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

How could these people be any match for Chu Haoran? In Chu Haoran's eyes, their attacks were slower even than a snail's. Chu Haoran instantly gripped the man's sword-wielding arm with one hand, then his figure flashed and a fist struck directly into the man's stomach. Without even a scream, the man collapsed unconscious on the ground.

On second thought, she and Bai Chulan were both princesses in the palace, so it was not surprising that she had seen this sword. Even though she reasoned this way, a wave of irritation rose in her heart for no reason at all—contemptuous yet upset.

Bai Chujiu sat on the high seat watching her imperial grandmother do battle with someone there, with peanuts, melon seeds, and other snacks on the side table beside her.

This tunnel seemed to forbid newcomers from lingering in the cave; the veteran guards shoved and jostled Bai Qiu'an, driving him out through the other end of the cave.

Watching Su Man relieve her tangled emotions and walk back with a relaxed expression, from time to time touching the lotus hairpin in her bun along the way, Su Bei felt that the other person must truly love that hairpin, and felt happy too.

"I knew you still love me, Lü'er! Heart hands!" Yan Ling swiftly climbed onto the bed, lay face-down on the cool bamboo mat, and sighed in comfort, falling asleep the very next second.

"Damn it." Bai Qiu'an scratched his head, picked up the coin without any temper and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Hahaha... going out to play, how could you not bring me along?" Phantom stood at the doorway at some unknown time.

"I will plant a forbidden curse on those who submit—this is precisely what Wuxin excels at!" Wu Bu looked at a young man beside him whose face was covered in frost and who stood with head bowed in silence, and chuckled lightly.

"Then I'll reclaim you with my own hands." As the words fell, Su Wo waved one hand, already holding a green vine in his left hand and a bronze lamp in his right. Two dharma treasures unleashed simultaneously—it was clear that though he appeared to look down on Luo Nan, he was going all out from the very start.

Those who could serve in the upper ranks of the Su clan could be said to each have backgrounds that were far from poor.

After all, they should still be in Heavenly Lion City right now; they had not followed the totem master expert who was just slain up here at all. Moreover, as envoys with their own mission, it was impossible for both of them to pursue and kill Long Teng together. At the very least, Long Teng knew that neither of them would neglect one thing for another—that would do more harm than good.

Perhaps due to his imposing aura, those people quickly made way. Long Fei raised his hand, dispersing golden demonic Qi to encircle the stone slab, then violently lifted his hand, and the stone slab, about three feet thick, was effortlessly flung aside, revealing a pitch-dark passageway underground. The martial folk, seeing the entrance had been opened, scrambled over one another to surge inside.

"So, the people here have grown fewer and fewer! However, for their imperial family, this is actually a good thing—they can summon the undead on a grand scale in the imperial capital, and no one will gossip about it." Nalan Zhichen stood up and said.

Mei Feiran absolutely refused to believe that her mother-fei was the chief culprit behind the embezzlement and bribery, and naturally would not believe either that her mother-fei had wanted to use the poison jade to attempt to poison the two children at the Li Prince's residence.

Wang Xu's recovery and Shang Lingxue's departure were undoubtedly the focus of everyone's greatest attention, but seeing that Wang Xu remained listless the whole time, they also felt that getting worked up over nothing was rather pointless.
