Ninety-two. The Research Vault, Part Three

However, outside the city, the world had been turned upside down. Endless chaotic storms shrouded the land, and the ground was split by ravines and spiderweblike cracks, bottomless and stretching for dozens or hundreds of miles in some places, and for thousands in others.

Ling Lanuo brought Xi Qianye and the others to a spatial gate. Their status was different from that of ordinary people, so they naturally did not need to enter through the designated points like everyone else.

Kong Rong and the others fought their way forward with all their strength. Huangjin soldiers kept falling, but there were too many of them; those in front went down, and those behind trampled over their comrades’ corpses and surged ahead again. The imperial troops were dwindling rapidly. Less than twenty imperial soldiers remained beside Kong Rong.

Yang Chengtao had always worn a genial smile, but now that Jiang Xuan had exposed his flaws in front of everyone, his expression instantly darkened.

“That’s enough.” Xie Lili could no longer endure it. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? Back when she worked in a hotel, she had been good at conversation, so she was very well liked. Whether by the floor supervisor, the manager, or the clients, all of them held her in high regard, and among her coworkers she had always carried herself with an air of superiority.

“A contest of origins?” Li Haocheng could sense that some portion of his strength had vanished into the unseen, and he turned to look at the Lady Without Birth.

“You may withdraw for now,” the emperor said indifferently, his invisible majesty leaking out with effortless ease. After paying his respects, Xia Yu backed away.

Xia Feng explained the situation to Han Cheng and asked him what route would be safest to Luoyang. Han Cheng said that with Huangjin forces everywhere, they should go by sea, land at Lianyungang, and then travel from Xuzhou to Luoyang. That route had not yet been occupied by the Huangjin Army. He also said he could arrange ships and a guide.

As for the claim that the Prince of Hui had not drowned by accident, that was something Huo Roufeng had casually made up on the spot, of course thanks to all the storybooks she had read under the influence of Lord Huo Nine.

The moment Xi Qianye walked toward Blood Bat Mountain Forest, the entire scene fell silent. The next instant, it was as if a cauldron of water had suddenly come to a boil, and cries of shock erupted all around.

Zhao Ting, even more pleased with himself, reached out and tore off Ruoshui’s bra, while the smugness and lewdness on his face spread without the slightest restraint.

Not only that, but in the Wang family ancestral grave there were nine corpses laid out in all, all of them killed in the same way as that boy. Judging from certain identifying features, they were the missing third-generation heirs of the other three families.

“Yes!” Hugo was a little overwrought. He withdrew the hand he had been holding and spoke in a somewhat cold tone.

Lin Chen gladly accepted Zhan Feiyu’s suggestion, bought everything they needed, and went to eat at Zhan Feiyu’s home.

By then, when Han You had first entered the livestream room, the entire chat had already been flooded with endless strings of “666.” From the match information, it seemed N had just secured a pentakill in this Diamond-rank game.

“Everyone, rest assured. I’ll be fine. I’ll take my leave now.” Wang Jin threw the two constables, who had been knocked unconscious, over to their captain, then mounted his horse as well.

“I remember that the several of us brothers took over this team ten years ago, didn’t we?” After lunch, Hugo sat with everyone in the cafe and looked at Morek with an inquiring gaze.

Old Gao naturally had his own plans: the necklace, I am determined to have it. If I don’t kill her, I can still take the necklace, and I can have my fun with her too. Best of both worlds.

The exchange continued back and forth, and Trapani held a slight edge. However, not many of their attacks were turned into shots, and Trapani’s pressing in this match was not especially resolute.

But today, having encountered something like this, his voice had lost all trace of beauty and taken on a chill.

What should have been a warm date had instead been ruined by someone else, even after Jiao Tang’er, that human light bulb, was no longer there.

Bai Zhou fell into deep thought. The tower was no ordinary place of danger; even cultivators of the third realm could not use spells there.

After the village chief finished speaking, he directly took half the money from the purse and handed it back to him.

After speaking, the noodle cook turned to leave again, but as before, he was stopped by Gu Jiu’s voice from behind.

For a moment, A Qiang could not answer. He had not intended to come back; for years he had achieved nothing outside and had not dared to return.

Without another word, Xu Chunzhi wrapped one arm around Lin Wanxin’s waist, seized a torch with the other hand, and ran at full speed through the dim passageway. By the time they reached the cell where the boy was held, the coughing, gasping, and breathing inside had already become extremely faint.

“I said it: it really was this matter after all. Excellent.” The old fox also leaped up in excitement, his fists clenched tightly as he trembled with exhilaration.

“If you show it to him, he will absolutely not agree to your post. Xiao Ziyu finally managed to clear her name a little because of Shangyuan. If this kind of news breaks now, not to mention anyone else, even the obsessive fans and wife fans on Mu Fanxi’s side could drag down his recently rebuilt reputation again.

As Luo Lian’s words fell, thunder suddenly roiled within the clouds. Bolts of lightning crisscrossed the sky, carrying deafening peals of thunder.

As he stepped into the floating island, the gilded palace blazed with dazzling brilliance. Everywhere he looked were glazed blue-green tiles and majestic halls, radiating an endless air of imposing grandeur.

This place had already been sealed off, so Luo Sheng could cultivate in peace. He entered his soul palace, and Black Immortal immediately rushed up excitedly, clinging to Luo Sheng’s embrace.

No one knew his disciple’s character better than Taoist Mu. The moment he saw Young Master Qi, he understood at once what his disciple was after.

Yao Ze, naked, staggered once, his face going pale. Fortunately, that roar was very brief; it ended the instant it began.

Luo Sheng had the power to wipe out the entire Phoenix Dance Clan. That meant he possessed the strength to threaten the Xia Empire. The imperial house was already weakened now, and they absolutely could not allow someone like Luo Sheng to survive. Luo Sheng was a double-edged blade: used well, he could sweep away all enemies. But used poorly, the first ones to suffer would be the imperial clan of the Xia Empire.

Spider Girl’s body erupted with thick demonic energy, and five spider claws shot out from her back, flailing in all directions.

“Have the Wandering Cultivator Tavern send it over. A table costing one thousand taels of gold should be the same standard we used to eat before. As for how many tables are needed, just arrange it as you see fit.” Wang Jue set the standard for the old horsekeeper.
