Chapter 111: Even Less Likely to Let Him Succeed

Deng Xiaojiao’s words left Cao Mang somewhat stunned.

"Even if the employer is dead, the mission should be canceled. Isn't this just free money for you? On what grounds?"

Deng Xiaojiao smiled and replied, "These are the rules. There is nothing I can do about it. Otherwise, you would still be hunted down. Just be content!"

"It seems no one has placed an order to assassinate me lately, heh..."

A flash of anger finally crossed Li Song’s face. He cursed, "Since your mind is muddled and you insist on debasing yourself so, then today, as your master, I shall beat some sense into you!" With that, he freed one hand, swung the Samsara Staff, and, wreathed in five-colored light, struck straight down toward Han Fei.

The second and third-generation disciples of Yuxu were all gathered in the city of Xiqi, but the Jie Sect was, after all, powerful; if they were to attack head-on, the immortals of the Chan Sect would have little chance of victory.

The Plain Cloud Flag whistled, swept over the Five Elements Fruit, wrapped it up, and dragged it downward, slamming it once more against the Innate Five Elements Grand Formation on Xuanmu Island.

At this moment, his gaze fell upon the ring on the pinky of his right hand. It was a rare, transparent gemstone ring, and if one looked closely, a mysterious pattern of runes seemed to flow faintly within it.

"Jones, what is going on here? Where is Margilili?" Bumar asked, but received no answer from Jones.

What else could Luo Chengzhong say? Even a fool would seize such an easy favor, so he nodded repeatedly without hesitation.

"Right now, on Mount Qishan, there are three formidable demon kings battling against Lü Dongbin, Li Tieguai, Han Zhongli, and He Xiangu of the Eight Immortals," Ao Jilie said with a bow.

Fear turned into pleas for mercy, then into surrender. More and more hands were raised, yet the sword light and flying arrows that reaped lives only increased.

Yuan Hong cursed under his breath. If it weren't for that fellow Kunpeng spending thousands of years refining this celestial artifact, he wouldn't have to work so hard right now.

I patiently waited for him to wake up. When he did, I wailed that I was in pain—my back hurt, my limbs ached—so Li Tan wouldn't dare touch me too roughly. He fetched my clothes and dressed me himself. I felt soft and limp like a newborn infant, yet I felt strangely at ease.

"Wei Ziyuan, I really overestimated you! To think you dare to do such things but lack the courage to admit them!" Su Jinli shook her head in disappointment.

Was it dangerous? Of course, and most of it was danger Li Tan sought out himself. Yet, in my heart, I agreed with his approach. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger cub? Li Yuan, that troublemaker, was truly detestable. If there was a sure way to eliminate him completely this time, that would be for the best.

Upon hearing this, Han Jinyu’s eyes flickered to Qi Ruize’s stomach, and then she curled her lips into a smile.

Bi Shuyin was deeply ashamed, his voice trembling. He had intended to peek at his junior sister bathing, but failed; having harbored such thoughts, he had broken the precepts, and his master was punishing him accordingly.

Thus, everyone told Shan Xunfei about Qin Zhenzhen’s situation. The beauty was indeed a beauty, with an excellent figure and a talent for dance. At only sixteen, she was in the prime of her youth, yet she had suffered a tragic fate. She was burdened by three deaths, the first of which, in fact, was her own.

Lin Ke suddenly realized: to leave this dream, all he had to do was write an ending to the story. But since he had already entered the story itself, how was he to write the conclusion?

It was that same suffocating tone again. Kong Yixian remained silent, cast a glance at Liang Fei, who stood quietly behind the workbench, and after a long moment, drew an arrow and aimed at the target ten meters away.

Seeing Qin Junxi’s expression, how could Qiao Xin not know that he had already discovered she and Duan Hanxin were following them?

Originally, since she helped me today, I could have done it for free. But that would go against the laws of heaven. Therefore, I had to charge for it.

These things aside, as long as I do not die, I will surely see these secrets. They are the people I have chosen in my heart; I only hope they can grant me a good life and a good story.
