Chapter 27: It is time to experience a true anomaly!

It sounded like a vague statement, yet Di Qiu frowned, sensing that there was more to it than met the eye.

So, in other words, everything was under her control!

The corner of Di Qiu’s mouth curled upward, and she was already imagining herself ruling the world.

Still, fantasies were only fantasies. She knew all too well what the system was like.

Since it had not explicitly stated that the destruction had to be physical, the ability clearly contained a loophole.

If the destruction were abstract in nature, then controlling the void—

As for the forces of the traitors and invaders, they had never appeared in this dynastic upheaval. In other words, this storm was aimed primarily at the native forces of the War-Heaven Continent.

Qingzhu was also astonished. She pressed Jiang Yun for confirmation as to whether he truly possessed the supreme treasure of the Heavenly Emperor, while praising his strength.

Unfortunately, he fell after becoming a sovereign for only a short time. All he left behind was a secret manual on refining puppets.

The War-Heaven Continent underwent a massive purge. The original successors of the various native powers were driven from their positions one after another, fleeing their sects and clans and disappearing into the vast sea of humanity, never to be heard from again.

After all, Ouyang Jin had achieved the title of divine master of artifact forging precisely because he could use yin-yang and the five elements to refine weapons.

Clearly, when driven into desperate straits, Lu Fangliang had awakened a manifestation of his innate talent, and his martial heart had broken through to a new realm.

Su Qing, however, was different. Although she did not understand the full extent of Yang Yi’s power, she knew that he was by no means ordinary. She also knew that he had never gone back on his word and had always done exactly what he said he would. That was why she felt somewhat worried, afraid that his actions might lead to undesirable consequences.

“Uncle Liu, what do you mean?” Tang Ming asked curiously, holding a candle for setting off firecrackers as he looked at Liu Gaoze.

His fist suddenly clenched, crushing the blood-red vortex into fragments. Wisps of it scattered through the air.

By the time she came to her senses again, guards from the prince’s residence had already arrived and were escorting her toward the gate. The two people before her had long since left the residence, one following the other.

Fortunately, it was winter vacation, and the row of shops opposite the school was closed as well. Otherwise, anyone who saw her in that state would surely have thought a madwoman had shown up.

“Wait.”

Qu Liruo called out to him, and he turned back. Night had fallen by then. Through the warm glow of the oil lamp, she stood there bathed in a faint, tranquil radiance, her expression unexpectedly gentle. And when she was gentle, she possessed a softness uniquely her own—twelvefold more delicate and alluring.

The four of them gathered together, and Perfected Jade Cauldron spoke with a frown. Among the four, he had the broadest experience, and what he said was precisely what everyone feared.

Xing Lian looked carefully at the scenery along the road, committing every detail firmly to memory. She did not want to find herself unable to flee when Her Ladyship Concubine Liu suddenly turned hostile, simply because she could no longer remember the way back.

Of course, once her surprise passed, Liu Yan immediately regretted it. She could not believe she had acted so infatuated. The main problem was that, after saying such a thing, had she not offended both commanders?

At that moment, Li Shaocong repeated the same trick. The man who had just answered the question happily took out a hundred-denomination note, exchanged it for two fifty-denomination notes, received a wealth-attracting beast statuette, and carried it home.

Although Guan Yin preferred Bai Xi, he could not help feeling jealous when he saw Zhong Yao gazing at the two men on the stage. His words consequently came out tinged with sourness.

“All right, so these are our enemies, are they? This time, I won’t just stand there like I did before.” Ignorance made Naruto fearless. He felt no apprehension toward Zabuza, the demon, and instead prepared himself eagerly to erase the humiliation of their last encounter.

Shi Shuiyue’s gaze settled on the brightest star in the sky. The stars around it seemed merely to serve as its backdrop; it shone with dazzling brilliance.

“I don’t mind, I don’t mind!” Zhao Ling hurriedly scrambled to her feet. Even she could no longer stand the smell of alcohol clinging to her, and she truly needed to wash herself as soon as possible.

Zhao Kuangyin was exceptionally skilled at handling people. Whether they were commoners at the bottom of society or other officials of Great Zhou, none of them had any serious objection to Zhao Kuangyin directing his accusations straight at Wang Pu and Fan Zhi. Ever since Wang Pu and Fan Zhi had taken office as chief ministers, their accomplishments had indeed been limited, whether judged from the perspective of the common people or the officials of Great Zhou.
