Chapter 125: The Meaning of Battle

“You see, it’s not that we wanted to fight you from the start, but the ancestor behind us is someone we simply cannot provoke!” As he said this, his gaze fixed on Yang Mu before him, he couldn’t help but smile. “Otherwise, if we had just given you a good beating and waited for things to settle down, wouldn’t this whole matter have passed just like that?”

The moment these words left his mouth, the expressions of the people before him shifted slightly. In truth, Zhao Ling’er and the others never intended to make a move at this time; it was those few who had gone too far. If it weren’t for their attempt to attack Zhao Yuan, perhaps none of this would have happened. There’s a saying: I act according to your intentions.

Most importantly, she witnessed her father’s death with her own eyes—a truth she had never known before—as time rapidly unfolded.

The soundproofing in this hotel was poor. Staying here now, even the slightest noise from the neighboring room or the one next to it could be heard clearly. How could anyone live in such a place?

Zheng Lianxiang opened her mouth to say something, but swallowed her words. Since Huazai had no recollection of what happened last night, it was better to let it remain a secret forever.

Ye An speared another meat roll with his fork, brought it to his nose to smell, and finally placed it in his mouth.

However, once a technology is born in this world, sooner or later other countries will learn of it. Much like nuclear technology—no matter how secretive the original developer is, such knowledge inevitably leaks.

It was essential to inquire thoroughly about the entire situation. After checking the records of Wang Shenghua and Su Junhua, it was clear that Wang Shenghua had always abided by the law with no criminal record. It turned out he had been addicted to gambling, lost a great deal of money, and, overwhelmed, attempted to jump into the river.

He walked into the circular pit that the crew had just polished and slowly squatted down, curling his body. The towel around him was casually tossed to a nearby prop master.

“Don’t come any closer!” Diao Chan watched Lu Bu move and stepped back just in time, narrowly missing a fall off the cliff.

In essence, there would be a server update at three o’clock in the morning tonight. The update would include the addition of a luxurious, exclusive fighting tournament outfit—a rare sky-themed set with attributes surpassing advanced costumes and set effects far beyond the mentor’s attire.

Chi Ning’er’s eyes flashed with understanding. Since she knew Ye An’s identity, she had naturally communicated with Bai Cheng before coming. Thus, she understood why Ye An chose to conceal his identity.

Now, it was all gone, like being interrupted midway through using the restroom—imagine how uncomfortable that felt.

“Mr. Su is a distinguished guest invited by our Eternal Sanctuary. Don’t mention him coming to my secret chamber; even if he were to go to the Forbidden Zone, it’s not your place to boss people around here. For the sake of the Grand Elder, I won’t make things difficult for you. Leave immediately!” Yang Zaixin shouted sternly.

Yang Li and Qin Chengshan also grew uneasy but, unwilling to lose face in front of outsiders, they restrained themselves from questioning Qin Ke.

Yu Mingzhu stepped out of the room and happened to meet Qin Rui, who was searching for her at the end of the corridor.

The speaker was none other than Wulong, the leader of Black Tiger Village, clad in black armor, his face dark and fierce, eyes gleaming with menace.

Chen Guanghua would manage village affairs and business matters for him, while Chen Guanglei would handle neighborhood disputes and daily concerns—whether it was obtaining a certificate or a proof document, Chen Guanglei could be entrusted with such tasks.

Anger surged through her chest; her serene eyes were bloodshot, her fingers pressing so hard they pierced her palm, yet deep within was a profound despair.

Chen Fan entrusted her with the renovation; she would choose the materials, and he would handle the bargaining.

Yet when two droplets of water collided, there was no resistance; the tears of Guanyin seemed to pass through the endless droplets of the celestial river without encountering any obstacle, continuing onward toward Leyuan’s location.

“Reporting to Your Highness! The hundred-thousand-strong army is fully assembled and ready to sweep across Xiliang at any moment!” Xiang Wentian reported respectfully.

Equipping heavy cavalry gear was time-consuming and labor-intensive. The Luoyang Iron Forest Army must have been established for quite some time.
