Zhu Yu and Zhao Tianyu entered the director’s office, both familiar and strange, where everything remained unchanged, just as it had been when Zheng Dapeng left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the inner sect elders on the viewing platform were tense; Xiao Pan’s palms were sweaty as he silently prayed for Xiao Yue to endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only slightly plausible point was whether he had been coerced—he had been coerced, coerced by the Su family, coerced by Su Yan—but he was willing to be coerced for the sake of going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!” she let out a soft huff, slowly raising her head and trembling hands lifting the black cloth from Tie Feng’s face. Seeing Tie Feng’s condition, Zhang Yiru chuckled, wiped away tears from her eyes, and hugged him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sent messengers to inform Stilwell and Ding Li of the meeting outcome, ordering them to raise their alertness and prepare for battle at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu ate while listening, daring not to reply, yet feeling warm inside. Only when Zhou Rong’er fell silent did he dare steal a glance at her—only to meet her gaze directly, forcing him to quickly lower his head and shovel rice. Seeing Li Yu’s flustered state, Zhou Rong’er burst into laughter. Li Yu finally exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, Xia Yina could no longer sit still and confronted the soldiers assigned to protect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s fooling you? By the way, we also talked a bit about Uncle Geng’s condition—he seemed in low spirits, not very confident.” The matter Uncle Geng entrusted was highly sensitive; Li Tianchou naturally couldn’t speak freely, so he quickly shifted Peng Weihua’s attention, hoping to learn indirectly how serious Uncle Geng’s condition truly was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Su Miao and Hui Wei were both suspicious—what exactly was Tong Ran up to? What was his real intention?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Qingwan wore a peach-red dress today. Under the sunlight, the hidden gold threads in her fine robes shimmered brilliantly, like radiant twilight, dazzling and luminous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were a mutated entity, how could it possibly wield the sword once carried by the ancient Emperor Xie Yunfeng, slaughtering all before it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Hong Yi’s taming skill could only tame one target; with Yanpi already tamed, he could not tame any other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Jian speaking so self-importantly was, by all rights, somewhat annoying. He Linwan glanced at Zhao Qingqing, only to find her anger had vanished, replaced by a trace of helplessness and melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he had risked his life rushing in to deliver the warning, yet it had served no purpose whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By dusk, the army returned to the encampment outside Zou County. Yuan Tan did not order Yuan Fou’s remaining troops to camp elsewhere—he simply vacated half his own camp for Yuan Fou’s battered soldiers to occupy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ye Xiao no longer cared whether the Church’s people were present—he immediately turned to head back to the main base, but paused mid-turn, gazing toward the main base with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Taibai Pavilion, the capital’s premier restaurant, placed great value on its reputation. Though the princess could not be offended, the manager was deeply troubled upon hearing she wished to change private chambers, unsure how to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Marshal Xiao, the Emperor’s secret edict clearly ordered that Ye Yu be captured alive, not harmed—your actions here…” Yelü Hu immediately voiced dissent regarding [Xiao Pugu Shali]’s conduct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiang Ye could explain, he was dragged into the bathtub. Xi Xina giggled, skillfully stripping Xiang Ye naked, then gently pressed her chest against his back in a soothing motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving in the capital and conducting discreet inquiries, they finally learned that Hong Chou had been detained by Wang Shaokun. That was why, after Wang Shaokun left the presidential suite, they secretly slipped in and found the nearly dead Wang Xue—mistaking her for Hong Chou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today they must also review the manuscript Wang Haoming obtained; otherwise, they would have embarrassed Luo Yuwei face-to-face yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Yue reiterated her warning to Taiyin not to tell anyone, then slipped out the back door—but as she passed through the courtyard corridor, she was spotted by Guozi Mao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Haoming didn’t know what he was thinking, yet somehow blurted out those words—perhaps they were his true thoughts after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xia Haoran could continue, the giant screen before them began playing the movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man named Dapeng was introduced to Yang Wei by a client, said to possess exceptional martial skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the effects truly matched what Xia Haoran claimed, she would seriously consider taking it. Yet she still felt uneasy, especially about his use of the words “strengthening yang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing’er estimated the time and guided Su Yi toward Qianqing Palace, assuming the performance had ended. As they passed through the palace corridor, they unexpectedly encountered Gu Hui Ting and his wife, just preparing to leave the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she lacks even basic sense—how could Chang Hao’s low-grade healing spirit soul even heal his own master’s wounds, let alone revive her after she’d been severed in two by a demon lizard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And given Qi Erya’s eagerness to make things difficult for him, how could anyone pass up such a perfect opportunity without kicking him while he was down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold stone and earth of the basement had vanished, replaced by smooth, hard metal—including the ceiling, embedded with electric lights and ventilation ducts. The light was ample, the air fresh, giving the impression one had entered a spacecraft rather than a damp, chilly underground chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>",955,"2026-06-19T18:47:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bc3bfeb68b1ffa4b4d715a5dfa22b231279c47fe83d3f5ce137d4a2c492017c1","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-139","there-is-a-malevolent-spirit-chapter-137",209,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthere-is-a-malevolent-spirit-cover.jpg"]
