Chapter 133: Truly Out of One's Mind

No matter how much the few Solar Term Maidens who had already been subdued urged them on, the others remained highly vigilant and refused to go, offering all sorts of excuses.

Only Sun Summer Solstice stayed silent. Even when contacted privately, she did not reply.

But that was not a problem. At the very least, Long Jingzhe was still available as a fallback!

Cao Mang guessed that this was yet another plot by Long Hao. He decided to act in secret, give him a tremendous surprise, and get there ahead of him.

......

If the Mohe people could be considered the Li family’s elite retainers, then this cavalry was the elite of the elite—and the key to their dominance over Goguryeo.

Pusta Town was not far from Kom City. After only six or seven minutes, the mule train entered the city.

Under the surface, Chang’an was seething with hidden currents, while Hongnong Commandery was ablaze with blood and fire. Hongnong County in particular, outside the Yang family’s fortified manor, had already become a field of slaughter.

Uncle Lu had once saved his father’s life, so Lu Fei respected him deeply. Yet he could not understand why Uncle Lu was trying to stop him as well.

“Attack!”

Lin Feng suddenly shouted. The military dagger in his hand flew free and shot straight toward the center of Cheng Kaisheng’s chest.

But whether it was the Buddha’s tongue growing so large that it covered his face, or his preaching voice spreading throughout the heavens, one thing was certain: the Buddha could no longer be considered human.

Though Shen Huai had thought of it, he would not secretly plot such a thing. After careful consideration, he decided to send word to the Princess of Jiangdu, if only to demonstrate his sincerity and respect.

Another voice rang out at that moment, and I walked forward in confusion. Since I had still been bathing earlier, I was wearing no clothes at all. Yet these people had clear, untainted eyes and smiled at me kindly.

Wu Junxuan stared at Qin Donglai in terror. She had never imagined that he would attack without warning. Instinctively, she let out a scream.

When everyone saw the Polar Bear’s overwhelming firepower, they hurriedly scattered in panic. After all, a heavy machine gun was no joke—being hit by one meant death just the same.

The motorcycle engine roared. A spatial rift suddenly appeared outside the villa, and from within came the earth-shaking thunder of a motorcycle.

No one could understand it. She had always seemed quite familiar with everyone, even frequently visiting one place after another to chat.

Eyeing him, Si Nai was so furious that her lungs nearly burst.

“And you still want to act as her spokesman? If it really is a contraband formula, then even if she manages to develop it, these people will watch her for the rest of her life—or kill her outright. And if she fails, she probably won’t live long enough to leave. Now that you know the truth, do you still think you can keep yourself out of it?”

Luo Yanxi sat on the stool inside, still clutching the clothes Fang Ling had given her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Although the likelihood of such a situation was very low, nothing that happened in the wilderness could truly be considered strange. Besides, these wanderers were genuine desperadoes.

Her pupils gradually turned blue. Beneath their shimmering, ghostly light, an unusual totem appeared at the center of her forehead, resembling some kind of mysterious symbol.

Shuo Shang was a member of Manchuria’s Plain Red Banner. In his early years, he had studied medicine under a Han physician and became highly skilled in acupuncture. Although Hong Taiji publicly promoted the so-called unity of Manchus and Han, the Imperial Medical Office was a vital institution entrusted with the personal safety of the Manchu and Mongol nobles of the Great Qing. Naturally, it had to be placed under the administration of trustworthy Manchus.

There was no need to think about it. They were probably people from another sect who had arrived late, but they had certainly come at an opportune moment.

The body was discovered by a disciple of Medicine Sovereign Peak. Early that morning, as usual, he had gone to inspect every spirit plant. But halfway there, he saw a Dao Sect disciple in blue robes bound tightly to a tree by countless black vines.

Abaddon could not understand it at all. How had the Transmigrator managed to reach an agreement with the Council of Twelve in such a short time without him hearing even the slightest rumor?

Mo Fan did nothing but continue waiting. As a result, the staff began to tremble more and more violently, its movements growing wider with every passing moment.
