Chapter 493: 475. The Way of the Shaman

475. The Way of the Shaman

The cave entrance was actually not very large; it was only after passing those two stone statues that one discovered its vastness. Behind the two stone statues was a hidden groove, inside which crouched several desert cultists, along with two magic crystal cannons.

Otherwise, the people of the Duke’s Mansion should have directly found a way to clear Xia Zixuan of his crimes, or swapped Xia Zixuan out of death row.

I have a premonition that my days of scrambling in a panic are about to begin again... but for Ruirui, it is all worth it.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the tenth year of Yong'an, the Empress Dowager Xiaohe issued an imperial decree to confine Consort Xian for half a month and dock her salary for half a year. Beauty Qing was demoted to a fifth-rank Talent and confined for two months. Beauty Chen, a fourth-rank official, was demoted to a fifth-rank Treasure Forest, and the eighth princess she had given birth to was taken to Yongshou Palace to be raised personally by the Empress Dowager Xiaohe.

Mentioning Jinse, Liao Geng’s eyes dimmed instantly; it had been so long, yet there was still no news of Jinse... Listening to this heart-wrenching melody and watching the threads of sorrow drifting from He Xuan’s eyes, it seemed that He Xuan’s longing and concern for her were by no means less than his own.

Talent Wan had already been poisoned, and the imperial heir in her womb surely could not be saved. In this situation, how was Lingxi to explain this to Emperor Yong'an?

My body at this moment also felt as if it were floating on the surface of the water, my back icy and piercingly cold. I tried to pat it with my hand, making a splashing sound, while at the same time water spray hit my face.

As we were speaking, several black-backed monkeys jumped down from a tree not far away, watching us vigilantly and emitting low growls to warn us not to approach.

Yet now it was laid out concretely before him; if everything the girl Wan said was false, then why was the girl Wan able to eliminate the hidden dangers to the Great Zhou Kingdom and the Yun family time and time again?

Lingxi was wearing a water-blue, butterfly-embroidered, waist-cinching tight dress, with her hair tied in a simple palace bun. Apart from the hairpin securing the bun, she only wore a single begonia dangling hairpin. There was a hint of contentment on her face, as if she were not in the inner palace but in the wild fields.

At this moment, Nangong Yaofeng’s phone rang. Seeing that Zhao Yuting was displayed on the screen, he answered, only to hear Feng Ye’s voice. After chatting for a few sentences, he nodded and agreed.

"No! I am the invincible overlord! I rule over death; I am the Lord of Death! All death in heaven and on earth shall be ruled by me!" the Grim Reaper roared his grand ambition.

"Right, taking advantage of this gap of a few days, the Lord of Yama and the others can also have a good rest and, by the way, understand the situation on our side," Scorpion said, following up on the words of the Heavenly Fox.

Gu Qi glanced at him and smiled faintly: "Very well." With a flip of her hand, that medicinal pill radiating nine spiritual breaths appeared in her palm once again.

It would be considered good luck not to be killed by someone else's nerves; the probability of finally seizing Li Jiuzhen’s head was also almost zero.

If it weren't for this, Lady Lin would not have gone without a struggle, letting the guards take her away, nor would she have refused to mention the matter of giving Lin Chujiu silver back then.

I don't know if it was because You Ze was following them or what, but this journey seemed to be very peaceful. Even when they sensed some higher-tier spirit beasts emerging in the forest to stare at them, for some reason, they would just stare for a while and then quietly leave.

"Then... after climbing down, set up a rope ladder." In any case, no matter what the cost, they had to save Lin Chujiu.

"Eh!" Yang Fei frowned, his wrist flicked, and the Destruction Divine Spear slashed a spear radiance in mid-air, crossing paths with the fiery red figure.

In the corner of the lobby, Ximen Liang turned and came out. He had noticed Yi Feng just as he stood up. Watching the two separate, a flash of light crossed his mind, and he smiled sinisterly before walking off to dine with his friends.

Every time Huo Chong came, Tang Zhou felt that nothing good would happen. For example, the last time Huo Chong came, it was because someone at court had slandered his *Investiture of the Gods*, so he did not particularly welcome Huo Chong.

Although he didn't really want to go, he could not defy the Emperor's order. After Tang Zhou told Lin Qingsu, he followed Huo Chong directly toward the imperial palace.

All three batches of weapons were fully armed; at least in terms of weaponry, his army was a first-class army. Even the Li Faction did not have such a fully armed army before they acquired Guanzhong.

"How could that be! I am a Holy Spirit-level giant dragon!" To show that he was very powerful, the Dark Flame Dragon deliberately stretched out his wings, raised his neck, and puffed out his belly.

Thanks to the effect of the matrix serum, even those humans who had not evolved superpowers were freed from the threat of survival. Not only did they not have to worry about the effects of radiation pollution, but their physical functions also recovered the vitality of their prime, and their lifespans were significantly extended.

Mima giggled: "There’s no entertainment, so the couple goes to bed early..." Is this what happens after having a baby, that there are no taboos in speech anymore? Where is the silly girl from a few years ago?

Zhang Chang had vaguely sensed something just now, and at this moment, he immediately perked up: "Does Elder Sister have something to instruct me to do? Don't worry, even if it's climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire..." Before he finished speaking, seeing Zhang Han’s face suddenly turn cold as frost, he immediately dared not make a sound.

Becoming the successor of the Tyrant Blade would not only allow one to connect with the two forces above, but if the blade technique were mastered, one could even use the Tyrant Blade to go straight to the Song Faction and see Song Que, using this as an opportunity to create a great alliance of southern Han people.

Tao Yaling, who had been lying on the window, only then knew what the situation was, and only then knew that a single finger could also invite disaster. She also only then knew that when one is afraid, no matter how one controls it, the body will still tremble.

Hearing Hua Yuye’s instructions, Xia Jietian asked nothing more. He looked at the director with murderous intent; if he heard any unfavorable remarks about the director from Hua Yuye’s mouth afterward, then Xia Jietian could guarantee that the director’s future life would be lived in fear, and it was uncertain when he would not see tomorrow’s sunrise.

Mu Yuanche was just afraid that Yewan would disregard everything for the sake of revenge. In his eyes, nothing was more important than the three of them, mother and children. Hearing Yewan’s assurance, he finally felt truly more at ease.
