Chapter 122: He's a Human Being Too

Er Zhu Rong wanted to pull out the nails the court had planted in Si Province and connect Heng, Si, and Bing Provinces, so he broke through Jiuyuan and slaughtered all of Wei Qingbin's retainers.

But he didn't want to become another Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao—at least not yet—so once he realized he was wrong, he admitted it at once.

Not only did he admit fault, his attitude in doing so was exceptionally good, shamelessly and persistently pressing Wei Qingbin, that old Xianbei heavenly dragon, to accept him as an adopted son.

The General of the Heavenly Pillar declared: Although I have attacked the court's provincial seat,

"Let's leave it at that for now! I still need to keep looking—I haven't found the organization called Blood Moon yet, and I'm wondering whether it goes by a different name to the outside world." Bai Chen had a bit of a headache; this Blood Moon was far too secretive.

Ling Li silently mocked Nan Zhiyi for still not being past puberty at thirty, then glanced sideways at his downturned mouth and sullen expression—he seemed to be in a foul mood—so she didn't dare speak up and provoke him.

With this discovery, Zhou Lin relaxed and stopped forcibly controlling the magic power circulating on its own within his body; once all the mist-like magic power in his dantian had liquefied, it would naturally come to a stop.

After that, Xu Yuntian had very smooth sailing—perhaps because those people held ordinary professions and were easier to approach—he persuaded them to put on the defensive rings with just a few words.

Zhou Lin looked at the bone shield, lost in thought; after a few blinks of an eye, he suddenly stretched out one hand and beckoned toward the bone shield on the tray. The bone shield floated up and flew into Zhou Lin's palm.

Nan Xia could tell that the Xia family's servants—whether currently employed or retired—all had excellent breeding.

Su Yujing was cooped up in the villa for a whole day, while Qiao Xin and Lin Zhiyuan also looked utterly at a loss.

Chu Tian released both his divine sense and his mind-sense, sensing for a long time, but gained nothing in particular. The lingering auras here were far too jumbled—at least several dozen different exotic races' auras remained. To distinguish from these residual auras who had stolen the Supreme Tomb was virtually impossible.

Nan Xia's face was written all over with disbelief. She wasn't prepared to become a mother; although Lu Chenhao had now given her a proper status, her feelings were still a little complicated.

Facts proved that those who had no power to protect themselves yet insisted on acting tyrannically and overbearingly would not come to a good end.

"One thing we can be sure of is that it definitely wasn't by oath." Wang Sheng smiled at Song Yan, confirming her guess. If the Lord of Worry-Free City swore before the family heads of the various great powers, he would certainly keep it, but even if Uncle Li swore before the whole world, he would never truly believe in his heart that the oath was all that sacred.

"Then could it be the momentum of heaven?" Qin Yun looked around; that feeling had only lasted an instant.

Zhang Qian watched his retreating back, the anger gone from his face, replaced instead by the satisfaction of a father seeing his child grow into a man—still a touch immature, perhaps, but with convictions at last, with ambition, with his own mind; a young man ought to be just so.

Ye Chen watched closely, his heart utterly shaken. The power of this Imperishable King Fist was indeed terrifying beyond compare; if Refining Elder unleashed it with full force, the entire void would probably be shattered by a single punch.

The Leap Heaven Shuttle's shortcoming was that its defense was too weak; this would require a large amount of Divine Universe Heavenly Bone.

What a mockery—the "Mom" she had called out for decades was not her real mother, and the "Dad" she had never once addressed was indeed her real father.

Imperial Censor and Physician Zhi Buyi was of course strongly opposed; if the Emperor insisted on this course, he truly would dash himself against a pillar and die in the hall, not hesitating to use his death to remonstrate.

Inputting all sorts of skill modules into them could let them possess the knowledge for various specialized posts in the short term, but this was mere cramming, not something they had mastered through their own work and study.

Chen Suxin was a bit dumbfounded—was he going to deliver her personally? And in such a flashy sports car?

To lull Fei Wu, Zhang Ma whispered something into Ouyang Tian's ear, looking as though he was about to set someone up.

Ye Yu looked up at the gateway that had nearly reached the mountain's peak, a flash of surprise in his eyes, along with a trace of wonder—with his current cultivation, he simply could not get up there. Ye Tianlin smiled faintly, reached out and grabbed Ye Yu's shoulder, and the two of them drifted up toward the mountain peak.
