Chapter 32

When Yan Yu woke from her deep sleep, she found herself surrounded by stone walls. There were no windows or doors, yet twelve torches stood upright, illuminating the chamber as brightly as day. She was lying on a stone bed.

Although Gou Jian served as an interpreter for the Japanese, much depended on the identity of his Japanese master. Organization No. 76 was directly subordinate to Wang Jingwei, and, through Kenji Doihara’s mediation, had even secured the backing of the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters.

When Chen Peng saw everything before him, his eyes widened at once. He committed it all to memory, intending to report everything he had witnessed to his mother upon returning.

Luo Yuwei, for her part, was utterly captivated by the galloping-horse root carving in her hands. She studied it for a long while, unable to bring herself to put it down.

What was more, Wang Haoming knew the direction of the jade within the rough stone as clearly as if he could see through it. He had not the slightest concern. If so many people had not been watching and examining it, he would already have begun cutting at the place where the green was thinnest.

“Young Master, there is a letter here.” The Imperial City Office guard who entered the secret chamber afterward found a letter inside and presented it to Xuan Shao.

This manager was clearly one of those people. Since it was a hot-pot restaurant, it generally did not open until the afternoon and remained open into the evening. There was no need to rise so early—who went out for hot pot first thing in the morning? Thus, the restaurant’s servers got up at ten, cleaned the premises, and prepared the ingredients, with time to spare.

The water in the lake was not flowing water, nor had it accumulated from any watercourse descending from the mountains. In other words, it was not a natural lake, but an artificial one.

The emperor merely turned his face away and, with another beauty holding the cup to his lips, drank a large mouthful of wine before laughing heartily.

“The young master wishes to see you.” Lu Nanfei glanced back at him. Both his tone and his gaze were icy cold.

He then picked up the telephone, preparing to inform Li Mingfeng that the third assassination attempt had failed.

Qu Liu had first caught Zhao Tianyou’s eye in Bazhou. In the years that followed, he distinguished himself in numerous battles and had now become a Commander-General leading ten thousand elite soldiers. This voyage across the sea to invade the Japanese islands would be yet another test in actual combat. Among these young generals, who was truly capable of shouldering great responsibility would be revealed by their performance in the battles to come.

“Lin Fan, I beg you—please spare their lives. My mother… there are reasons why she became what she is now!” Ivanova pleaded through her tears.

Having gained nothing from his inquiries, Lei Shan decided to try his luck elsewhere. In any city, the place with the most far-reaching flow of information was undoubtedly a restaurant. All sorts of people gathered there; surely he could hear the news he needed.

There were too many people around, and everyone was talking at once. He could hardly tell Lü Yuan Ye the truth about Zhu Gang’s identity outright, could he?

“A relative whose appearance I have never seen. She cared for me as though she were my mother. Even at the very end, I never saw her true face. She once told me that when she brought me to the Core Formation stage, I would naturally be able to see her face.”

The captain of the third team of Guangcheng’s War Master Academy, Mu Yuqing, was especially enthralled, nearly moaning with pleasure. Then she suddenly seemed to sense numerous threats. Her expression turned stern, and she warily scanned her surroundings, as though searching for opponents capable of standing on equal footing with her.

Skill Attributes: The Nine-Heavens Divine Tribulation Tiger gathers the power of the thunder tribulation in its claws, dealing 350% lightning damage to a single target and paralyzing it for two seconds, while ignoring 50% of its physical defense.

“All right, you make a good point. What time will tomorrow’s match begin?” Hugo asked indifferently.

Everyone’s faces twitched. That beam of lightning was almost impossible to touch without being injured. They had never even heard of anyone absorbing into their body a beam formed from countless bolts of lightning, much less witnessed it. The sight deeply shocked them all.

The darkness following the power outage shielded him. Hidden behind the shadow of a building, he barely managed to evade the police pursuit.

The Dark Red Soaring Cloud Dragon was horrified when Lu Zhongli suddenly vanished. Just as it was about to search for him, it felt someone mount its back.

The spirit vein’s condition had recently become extremely precarious. Although it remained the place with the densest spiritual energy in the Heavenly Soul Realm, the damage inflicted by Ancestor Tongtian and Qiu Yutang had caused it to begin loosening. It could collapse at any moment. Once that happened and all the spiritual energy dispersed, the Heavenly Soul Realm would soon become a dead land.

It seemed that the eighth level truly was not a place just anyone could reach. The higher one climbed, the greater the pressure became. Without sufficient strength, coming here would only harm oneself.

Shen Mengdie did not notice the expression of the person behind her. After hearing the message delivered from outside the door, she answered softly.

Perhaps it was because the people from the Temporal Association had mentally controlled her during those few days. She genuinely could not remember what she had said.

In truth, she did not want to mention these matters again, but somehow… she had let the words slip out.

Elsewhere, Su Minghan slammed the door and walked away. With one hand still resting on the door behind him, he stood in silence for a long time before finally turning and leaving.

An Lin made a gesture urging him to endure. The meaning was clear: I will save you, but I am no superhuman. You must be patient while I look for an opportunity.

At this, Wang Zheng’s expression fell silent. Across from him, Caliph II, Sabbah, and even Hamdan, who had not spoken a word until then, watched his face intently. Clearly, compared with simply granting a loan, they were more interested in making an investment.

“Second Sister, spend the next few days accompanying me as I look around Tiandu University,” Ling Xueyu said softly.

“Well, I was only passing by to buy some soy sauce…” Yang Guang gave an awkward smile and tried to retreat into the car.

Hans could not endure the pain and hurriedly released Old Li. When he turned and saw me, his expression became exceedingly awkward. I paid him no heed and immediately asked Old Li whether he was injured and if he was all right. Old Li shook his head, then pointed toward Dolma Yangjin, telling me to check on her first.
