Chapter 130: The Empress's Heart Is in a Panic! The Little Thief's Bold Confession! (6K)

Western Wasteland Mountain.

Two figures stood atop the mountain peak.

A crimson Daoist robe as vivid as blood swayed in the wind, its surface embroidered with wild cloud patterns traced in gold thread. Her dark hair was loosely bound with a silk ribbon, a few strands falling by her ears, which only made her complexion look all the more fair and translucent.

A pair of willow-leaf eyes appeared slightly hazy, the corners tilted faintly upward, carrying a cool yet beguiling charm.

In her hand she held a simply styled gourd of wine, a red tassel tied to it. She raised her head and—

After leaving Yandang Pass, players on the road gradually grew more numerous. Because this escort mission had a relatively long time limit, Xu Yuexuan did not choose to teleport directly. Having never set foot in the south before, he took this chance to take in the magnificent rivers and mountains of the Dragon realm.

Watching members of the Fan family pass by from time to time, Blood River Old Ancestor kept his heart in suspense, afraid of being discovered at any moment.

"Master Bai is here, everyone stop talking." Suddenly someone shouted, and the great hall immediately fell silent.

Zhao Xiongfei also felt that what he had said was somewhat improper; wanting to explain, he did not know what to say, so he simply did not explain at all.

Wu Xiaomei, dressed in a bright red qipao, heard someone knocking on the door. She came to open it and saw Zhao Xiongfei standing at her doorway with a solemn expression, and assumed the fellow had some urgent matter.

That was the way Qin Hao had killed this great serpent. To Qin Hao, this great serpent was far too powerful—he could not possibly have killed it head-on—but in the end Qin Hao had relied on bleeding it out, wearing the great serpent to death by sheer attrition.

Does the blue moon truly exist? This no longer seems to be a question that can be settled by experiment, but has become purely a matter of faith. You may choose to believe the blue moon exists, or you may choose to believe it does not. And strangely, all the evidence currently available somehow supports both possibilities at once.

Hu Zhe said, "Compared to the Han Emperor's grace to you, is it greater than what he showed the Marquis of Huaiyin?" Peng Yu would not listen, and was determined to go.

"Um… I was wrong… stand over here beside me, that way you can avoid being disturbed by these swords." Tian Xin said meekly.

Seeing the defense growing weaker and weaker, the crowd seemed not to have caught Qi Xuanyi's technique. Once those Living Demons had absorbed enough power, Qi Xuanyi waved his hand and withdrew the defense. Twin swords shot forth like rainbows—one white, one red—darting around those enormous Living Demons in an instant, directly reaping the lives of dozens of them.

Gongsun Ao thought: the Emperor sent me to verify the matter of Li Ling's life or death. Some of Li Ling's men said he had broken out alive, others said he was dead. Neither the living man nor the corpse could be found—truly very hard to verify.

"Bah! Willingly degenerate, willing to be a running dog—what difference is there from a walking corpse!" Elder Yan Lei said angrily.

One point worth mentioning here in particular is that the power of the talent skill 【Instant Memory】 is truly somewhat baffling.

"You just said we should all cut open our bellies and kill ourselves!?" The leader of the dual-blade sword school stared at the Free National Party's councilor as he spoke. The sharpness of his gaze made the councilor feel as if he were standing in an icehouse, chilled to the bone.

The next day, the Chanyu, under the pretext of various princes hosting a banquet for the Han envoys, invited envoy Su Wu and deputy envoy Zhang Sheng to the feast. They knew full well it was a Hongmen Banquet, yet they still had to attend. Su Wu, resolved to die if need be, gripping his ceremonial staff, a precious sword at his waist, fully armed, accompanied by Zhang Sheng and Chang Hui, strode into the banquet hall with magnificent bearing.

Given Feng Chao's attitude, he naturally could get nowhere with Dong Yuanqing, so he went straight to Liu Xian, the aim being to bypass Dong Yuanqing and obtain the driver's license directly from Liu Xian.

Solitary, swords piercing the high sky, everything was ready. At this moment the Star Harbor was full of figures; the great Star Harbor docks were filled with disciples of the Nine Peaks Sect. The crescent-moon-arched interstellar ports were lined with towering sailing ships moored at their berths. They were kept because the original power source had to be preserved, in case it was needed.
