Chapter 197: 196

Then Fang Qingye rode his small scooter home, humming a tune; after opening the door, he was startled to find his father—usually home very late—sitting on the sofa, chatting with his mother, both with serious expressions.

Seeing him enter, they immediately fell silent and stared at him in unison.

“Mom, Dad, what’s going on?” Fang Qingye kicked off his shoes, saying as he headed for his room, but his father called out to stop him.

“Xiao Ye, don’t go—sit here.

The only problem was he still couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t enter the Mystic Stone, so he had no choice but to keep enduring the old man’s servitude.

Seeing no further objections, Zhang Jingxuan said: “Send someone immediately to contact our spies in the county town to check if the Lei family is stirring; also, reach out to Zhan Kuiyuan—if needed, he’ll have to open the city gate for us.”

The first four were elder figures, while the latter two were former prodigies of the Canghuang Academy, the academy head of Canghuang in the ancient state of Tienwu; Mu Rong Qian’er and others were now all above the Tianwu Fifth Layer, yet none had entered the Heavenly Gang Realm.

“Well said!” A voice of praise suddenly came from outside the door; two Daoist priests walked in together—it was none other than Mao Zhenren and Lü Dongbin.

He reached out and handed over three pills; the intent was clear: exchange antidotes, saving lives was urgent. To Tang Xueguang, this was already great goodwill—but the other side clearly didn’t see it that way.

How could there be a cultivation realm that didn’t rule by force? Chu Zhiqiu stepped forward and bowed. “Your Royal Highness, I only avoided the duel for fear of embarrassing Miss Bai.” He used the enemy’s own weapon against them.

For Tang Hu Zhou, he had been smug at first, down in the mountains; even after Tang Xueguang was killed by the Sound Sword, he comforted himself that it was for the greater good—after all, it wasn’t his own direct subordinate. But his aura had subtly weakened, and he now thought of compromising, waiting to uncover the truth before deciding his next move.

The goatee man chased after the most suspicious direction, following the scent as it shifted constantly through the forest.

Because he trusted their speed, he hadn’t secured his body—and that’s why this happened. As a result, the two could no longer continue.

The demand was that after completing the task tomorrow, he must provide medicine to cure Cao Lie’s internal injuries. When Cao Lie made this demand, Commandant Long finally understood.

Unexpectedly, a man’s voice came from the other end of the phone. He froze; a sense of dread settled over him.

Who knew the others wouldn’t be left behind—they surged forward, piling on top of the two, instantly forming a mountain of flesh.

Tang San didn’t release his Blue Silver Grass; instead, both hands slashed out, lunging for Jue’s body. Jue also stopped using Soul Techniques, his wings flaring out to meet Tang San’s hands. At this moment, both chose to fight purely with their own soul power, not Soul Techniques.

[Come on, let the gnashing of teeth grow even fiercer.] Yun Chaochao built up her mental resolve.

Yueya felt this person was somehow always a bit harsh with her, so she dared not speak.

The more she thought, the angrier she got; they no longer cared about anything else—they immediately called the police, determined to make the authorities intervene, or else their house and money would be completely swindled away.

Xuan Yuan Jingchen shifted into a more comfortable position, pulling Gu Yufei into his arms; his warm breath brushed against her neck. Gu Yufei leaned back against his solid, powerful chest; the atmosphere around them grew strangely intimate, and they could even hear each other’s heartbeats.

In just a few breaths, the person and the beast emptied the secret chamber. “Let’s go—find the next room. Leave not a single hair for them,” said Gu Yufei.

Though she couldn’t tell how much of those words were true or false, she somehow felt she could trust Feng Yunlie. Wei You Chen hadn’t said he must kill Feng Yunlie, but he had spoken seriously: if Feng Yunlie dared to touch her again, he wouldn’t mind making his only brother a eunuch.
