Chapter 101: Unbearable to Accept
Xiao Wuyan lifted his leg and kicked one of the bodyguards on the ground, but the man remained completely motionless. If it weren’t for the faint sound of breathing, Xiao Wuyan might have thought these men were already dead.
“What useless trash,” he muttered under his breath, then prepared to take out his phone to call security at the clubhouse.
“Long time no see...”
It needed to grow only in places where spiritual energy had been depleted... so in this realm where spiritual energy had revived, no wonder Lei Jiuxiao was unable to cultivate it fully.
For Wang Xingxin, if he could truly alleviate Empress Changsun’s chronic respiratory illness—even if it extended her life by just a few years—it would be a tremendous favor owed to him by the Li couple, to say nothing of anything else.
Yet the two hesitated. They could return, but how to bring up the subject? That was the problem.
However, upon seeing this, Li Yang soon understood the reason. Looking at the Wufeng faction, each peak now had gathered at least a hundred disciples, with more still arriving. In contrast, Li Yang glanced for a long time but saw no one from the Qingtian Peak.
After all, most of these disciples came from the Upper Council or the Elders’ Council, so they naturally had no shortage of spiritual energy liquid.
They could debate the matter, reach conclusions together, and even incorporate many of her perspectives and judgments into consideration.
Ruan Xueyin stared for a while longer, then turned to look at the back of Gu Xinglang’s head. Outwardly formidable and commanding, yet behind closed doors, he threw tantrums and feigned weakness with her.
In fact, in the early Qing Dynasty, to prevent such incidents, families without five liters of rice were all exterminated.
Hiding in the shadows, Li Yang used his spiritual sense to observe the changes in the scene clearly.
It wasn’t that he was prejudiced; it was because these people were too excessive, always oppressing the Han citizens, something he could not tolerate.
Eagle Eye looked at Cat Eyes, who was excited, and understood well how Cat Eyes felt. Back then, he himself had been shocked by Chu Feng’s displayed learning ability.
“Hopefully this lesson will leave a deep impression on you, scumbag!” An Kai thought to himself.
While the Eighth Route Army already knew that Zhao Tiehu led the forces in this battle, other resistance factions were curious. At least among the Jin-Sui Army, upon learning this, they were deeply shocked.
This time, Qian Ye Ming did not blindly rush forward to seize the attack. Calm and composed, he began observing the opponent’s movements and coordinated with his teammates.
Lin Zihao’s face showed no longer the calm detachment he once had; instead, it was filled with astonishment.
The temperature was astonishingly high, with the ground even beginning to vitrify slightly, steaming continuously, clearly demonstrating the destructive power of this seemingly simple but different fire technique.
At midnight, the thunderous sound of cannon fire at the city gates startled the Japanese puppet troops stationed inside the city. Hastily gathering and rushing toward the gates, they never expected a squad had already infiltrated and launched a surprise attack on the garrison headquarters.
But the moment those words fell, the air instantly filled with a chilling murderous intent.
“I didn’t explain clearly just now. The Qingming Festival is only a few days away. I’m asking if you plan to return home to sweep the tomb,” Xuan Wei said, patting Ming Ye’s bald head as he explained.
The next day, the newspapers came out. The news of Yuanling Yu’s capture caused a huge uproar in R City. Some even speculated that the mysterious benefactor who had saved him the first time might be Gu Zongci. Rumors about Gu Zongci and Ruan Lingyu had circulated recently, and now that she was in trouble, naturally Gu Zongci, as her behind-the-scenes patron, would come to his aid.
Consort Zhen was even more unfathomable. Every time she acted, someone was severely injured. Both Jiang Yunxian and Jiang Yunshang were extremely skilled.
