Chapter 155: The Secrets of the Northern Frontier

Some who could have continued bidding also stopped, unwilling to offend the Gao family.

Chen Zhao noticed he was specifically attacking Mingde's injuries, yet Mingde paid no heed, raging like an angry tiger bent only on venting his fury.

He opened his mouth to retort but found himself at a loss for words, so he could only glare viciously at Qin Jian.

"No need at all! Young Master need not buy my loyalty; my heart already belongs to you!" Yanzhi said with shameless boldness.

As a Grand General, Xiao Yi dared not be slighted by anyone, yet Lu Yan felt... the Grand General seemed somewhat strange.

But now, seeing Qin Jian staring at Liu Yan's chest, she could not help rolling her eyes at him, jealousy rising in her heart.

Li Xi returned to her room only to discover her monthly visitor had arrived; panic seized her, for the jolting ride had left her body aching so thoroughly that she had overlooked the signs. When had it started? Had Xiao Yi seen?

"Jiang Jiang Yisheng! How could you treat me this way?" Chu Longguo's eyes flashed with terrifying light as she shouted at Jiang Jiang Yisheng.

Entering the living room, the retro decor remained just as it had been months ago when she last visited, yet her mood was entirely different.

Otherwise, he would not have caught this elder's eye as the prime candidate for the sect's future leadership. Only after hearing Wu Zhengye's words did everyone rein in their thoughts; if the situation were truly fatal, surely he would not have returned.

"Manure pit?" Fu Yan glanced at Fan Jia in confusion. Generally, upper-class figures like Wu Wu Yani, no matter how much they looked down on others, would not resort to such vulgar language; her using such a term must have a reason.

She understood clearly that the Fourth Imperial Prince would not lie to the Emperor on her behalf without cause, nor recommend her for the position of Chief Imperial Physician, nor persuade the Emperor to bestow upon her the Weiyang Hall.

"A gentle breeze coils around the white blade." Princess Hongyu conjured several whirlwinds that spiraled around the blades of the swords.

"What is there to fear? This van has excellent soundproofing, and no one knows it belongs to us. Even if they did, so what? People like that, doing things like that, deserve to be exposed for all to see." Wu Wu Yani waved her hand dismissively, seeming almost eager for everyone to know.

Her words left Yu Feng bewildered for a moment; shouldn't I be the one saying that? It seems you are not the one taken advantage of, but rather I am the one suffering the loss.

The two drained their cups; Yu Feng's face flushed slightly, the pungent liquor making him cough incessantly, yet he continued to drink without restraint.

Hearts trembled with shock; even Mu Xiao, the Nether Deity Sect steward who had kept a tight expression, looked over in disbelief, his gaze flickering as he plotted something. If they knew that although Lin Tian was fifteen this year, he had already broken through to the Innate Realm at twelve, the shock would be far greater.

Yin Ling's heart panicked at those words; who exactly was this person that Sikong Yun could be so confident in claiming he could kill her?

However, with only one honor available from the Immortal Sect, would Lin Tian volunteer for the battle and emerge victorious to claim that sole distinction?

"Sick yet you don't know to take medicine; so stupid! Fine... fine, I'll bring you some medicine tomorrow." Meizi kicked the table leg, then turned and left.

The loss itself mattered little, but this was a matter of face; Xiang Yu's existence was a constant slap in the face. Having now slain six ninth-tier experts yet choosing silence, how would the world perceive him?

"However, I will not die; that would be letting Xia Jinyuan off too easily. I will drag him down to hell with me." Zhang Min spoke through gritted teeth.

"Heh, so Sister Hui is a white-collar worker." I forced a faint smile onto my face.

Tong En widened her eyes and said, "I told you not to bring up Ji Siming again, yet you still did; just wait until I punish you." Saying this, she reached out to tickle her.

That voice brimmed with such fury, clearly indicating its owner had suffered at the hands of Zhang Yi, a mighty figure of unknown origin.

"Man conquers heaven"—is this merely self-deception and self-consolation, or simply a phrase of human self-mockery?

Xiang Yu was rendered speechless; Qin Ziyi was cunning and crafty. Forget about pretending to be a ghost or deity; even if a real ghost appeared before him, he would never fear it.

The Apocalypse Legion's most urgent task now was to seize the resource star, but for a star guarded by only a hundred or so armed robots and five mecha escorts, the military difficulty was nearly zero; the most critical issue remained the blockade of information.

Due to the distance and the obstruction of trees, the courtyard halfway up the mountain was completely invisible, but the two did observe something else: the martial artists in the wooden huts below the mountain were not merely guarding the front; every incense stick's duration, someone would circle around Fengming Mountain.

Meanwhile, inside the bedroom, Zhao Zhao Jingwen and Lin Yun, hearing the noise, both instinctively looked toward the door, only to see Chen Xu wiping blood from his nose while his eyes kept darting toward the two of them.

"I lay dormant in the Netherworld for ten thousand years, undergoing ten thousand cycles of reincarnation without complaint. Do you know why I did so?" Tiangang's expression turned somewhat chilly.

Just as the Intoxicating Fragrance Soul secretly relaxed, a plain and ordinary voice resonated within Lin Feng's sea of consciousness, enveloping the entire expanse. Since the Intoxicating Fragrance had entered Lin Feng's soul sea as a soul spirit, it was extremely sensitive to everything occurring there; upon hearing Lin Feng's voice, the Intoxicating Fragrance Soul trembled violently.

Watching the fleeting charm displayed on Zhao Zhao Jingwen's face, still flushed with a hint of red, truly fascinated Chen Xu. He could not quite understand why Zhao Zhao Jingwen would be so agitated; if it were Li Yanran, he might comprehend, but with Zhao Zhao Jingwen, he found himself baffled.

Liu Yun also closed his eyes, and scenes immediately floated through his mind: clear waters and green mountains, a pastoral paradise beyond the mundane world.

There is truth in the saying "Ignorance breeds fearlessness"; He Yun, possessing a map, kept thinking of finding the correct path, so he continually attempted to search for it.

No sooner had Lenisha finished speaking than thunderous applause erupted in the classroom, though most of the sound came from the male students.
