Chapter 826: One-Take, Isn't That Bold?

~6 min read 1,156 words

Under these circumstances, Khan Salida's march north faced virtually no obstacles. Two hundred thousand troops split into two columns, sweeping across northern Rusenia. Tens of thousands of Crusader warriors thus died pointlessly under the iron hooves of the centaurs due to poor organization.

Ye Luoxiao, having climbed over the wall of the Ximen family manor, stopped and glanced back. Sun Yichen understood her thoughts, gently patted her shoulder, and said nothing.

Hearing that the Marquis of Zhenlu had ordered them to take the prisoner alive, the camp officer indeed hesitated. After counting to ten aloud, the order to fire was still not given.

Then Niu Jinsong casually mentioned the disposal of those Japanese pirates, but Li Xin changed his mind and did not wish to execute them.

"You're special in the head..." Mou Siqing could find no reason to reproach Xu Dong. After speaking irritably, she still held her rifle, leaned against her backpack, and closed her eyes to rest.

In the Greater Khingan forest region, rare animal species number in the hundreds, but perhaps this Bale Gou is truly the territory of the Northeast Tiger. Except for a few sparse hoots from owls, the entire valley was eerily silent.

"We have sixty-eight people in total; with us, that makes seventy-four. We brought no tools. The situation inside Yonghong County is still unclear, aftershocks are continuing, and we cannot enter." Ye Luoxiao, calm and unhurried, spoke in a low voice, conveying her side's situation in the most concise terms via video call to these elders.

The implication was that if he spoke recklessly, he would still not escape the blade at his neck. Li Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead, clicked his tongue—his mouth was so dry it could spark fire—and forced a dry smile onto his face.

Zeng Gan swept his hands, rose from the chair, walked to the charcoal brazier in the room, picked up the iron tongs, and placed several pieces of coal into it.

Caterina was stunned. She had heard of the land of Freljord, but wasn't that land of Freljord the Iceberg? Could there be people living on that Iceberg? Caterina only paid attention to Demacia and knew nothing about other places! The moment Freljord was mentioned, Caterina was baffled!

And this Xiao Haotian had a younger sister who was the concubine of the late Prince of the Luo Wang Fu. She now follows her son to his post, returning to the Wang Fu only once every year for the New Year.

Although I am unclear about the relationship between the two of them, he used to take beatings from Ouyang Qing without fighting back! So today... is it for me?

"Why would he do this?" Xu Ruojin was eager to know the reason; Ye Weilan might be even more dangerous than she imagined.

In an instant, this situation was brought under control, and the surrounding skeletons continued to fall.

This Liang Xiao still hasn't returned, nor is there anyone to consult; she can hardly go find her mother-in-law, can she?

Huo Shangning was frantic with anxiety; a thick wave of worry instantly seized his heart, with truly nowhere to vent it.

"Then... may I ask for the Miss's given name?" Yang Xuan asked, his dark, icy eyes fixed on the other party.

"I have already turned on the water." Gu Qingqing indeed turned on the shower head, and the water inside rushed out with a splash. As if to prove her words were true, she actually stripped off her clothes and dove straight into the water.

As he thought, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, and a sudden thought arose in his heart. At this hour, Du Shisan Niang should have already paid respects at the family temple and to her in-laws and elders, right?

Fortunately, although these young men were rough, they had been instructed before leaving the Wang Fu: establishing authority was fine, acting cool was fine, but absolutely no large-scale conflicts were to be incited unless the cultivators of Muyao Star initiated hostilities.

Back then, Fatty actually harbored some inner criticism, thinking the Night Blood Guild wasn't all that impressive; they couldn't even pass the prison-break plot five times, and in the end, they actually needed a buddy to step in and help.

Precisely because of this, the Jinzhou County Public Security Bureau had issued instructions several years ago: at the end of every year, they must dispatch additional police forces to the Nanguan Town Police Station, specifically to maintain public order near the agricultural and trade markets and prevent accidental situations such as theft, robbery, crowding, or disputes arising from buying and selling.

Seeing Hou Xiyi's determined expression, Du Anzhi hesitated for a moment before nodding. After retrieving the bundle for Hou Xiyi and watching him struggle to pull out a medicinal herb from within, chew it in his mouth, and then spit it into his hand to offer it, Du Anzhi's eyes immediately widened.

Arriving at Mei Tingting's home and knocking open the door, one was greeted by youthful exuberance: the beautiful and quiet Mei Tingting.

"Not a cultivator from the Dongji Continent?" This left Luo Zhen somewhat bewildered; it seemed this was not the region where he had entered the Void Temple.

Even though most had spent many years in the official sea and accumulated considerable savings, who would be willing to give them to those eunuchs with insatiable greed?

Hong Yi nodded in understanding, silently circulated his divine soul, leaped out of his physical body in an instant, and cast the Art of Visualization and Dream Entry.

The martial way of a Grandmaster, combined with the manifested Dao arts, constitutes immense power and ghostly, unpredictable methods. Controlling the hearts of a city's people and employing various tactics were all things he could handle.

Changning felt that at this moment, the Jiang woman was particularly beautiful, serene and free-spirited. Simply smiling quietly was enough to let warmth soak into others' hearts.

If it were the former... then naturally one would feel pleased in the heart for a while; this proves that child cares at least a little about us, and perhaps there is potential for development in the future.

"But unfortunately, since there are not particularly many people who cultivate Qi, those items can only be used by a few. They cannot be widely promoted." Hai Wuya said with some regret, looking out the car window.

Zhao Qiang gazed at the heavy mountain passes, his expression exceptionally solemn, his tone carrying an unmistakable worry.

In the dim, hazy night, an army of nearly a thousand quietly infiltrated here, into a forest just ten arrow-shots from Manchester, gazing with unbridled, chilling eyes at the distant town silhouette that appeared somewhat blurred in the night, while Manchester's garrison remained completely unaware.

"You... also heard it from the Principal?" Lin Xiaoxiao let out a bitter laugh; it seemed she had been thoroughly betrayed?
