Lin Xiao had not seen Xing Jue since she picked up Si Yao from the mining area.

She had only heard rumors that he was going to get engaged. This time, his fiancée was neither like Xing A'ni, who possessed only beauty and no family background, nor like Wen Sui, that truly unpresentable naive flower, but rather a genuine lady from a prominent and prestigious family.

Xing Jue rested one arm against the car window, looking her up and down for a moment. She was still dressed the same way, in an outfit identical to Si Yao's.

……

Wang Yutian's Roaring Thunder Palm struck the barrier directly. The gentle barrier flickered a few times, and then a fierce rebound force erupted. This immense force directly sent Wang Yutian flying backward.

This was much like the fortified pillboxes constructed during the Second World War; no matter how difficult they were to attack, as long as an explosive was dropped through the machine gun port, the problem could be solved from the inside.

It was precisely because of the brilliant victory of this battle that the entire Qingzhou gained a completely new understanding of Wudao Mountain. The prestige of Wudao Mountain, which had been lost for over a decade, was finally reclaimed by Chen Xi following the grand sect war.

Shen Jiamian was unwilling to accept this defeat and continuously slashed out several waves of blade qi, but all of them were blocked by the light bell. Shen Jiamian stepped back a few paces, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Resting his long blade vertically on the ground, he muttered to himself.

At this moment, Chen Mei was also in a terrible mood. Originally, she had expected to marry in grand style on her wedding day. All her family members had agreed to this marriage, and she had even given her absolute guarantee that nothing would go wrong. Yet trouble had struck right at the very beginning during the wedding procession, leaving her heart in a state of chaotic anxiety.

"Ningyou, Night Concubine?" Leng Yi thought of his wife. However, he swept his gaze around without finding her figure. It was only when he lowered his head that he realized she was hanging from the branch of a large tree on the edge of a sheer cliff.

"No, that won't do. Do you have any good ideas? Are you going to let me just watch them die like this?" Leng Yi's burning gaze locked fiercely onto Bai Qian's face.

Three fireballs bound Long Di's feet, hands, and body respectively, while on either side of Yang Fengzhi, two ice walls emerged, emitting various incantations around him.

"Jianwu, how far are we from the Tianwu Kingdom now?" Hearing Jianwu's words, Zi Yun'er could not help but ask.

Hao Zhi lowered his head and stood there for a long time, his hands trembling slightly with emotion. This was the only legacy Wang Yankecheng had left behind for him, and it was so immensely precious.

The carvings suddenly lunged forward like a starving beast spotting its prey, making Long Wu feel a sense of suffocation.

In short, the officers of the imperial army in the Great Song were incompetent, and many of the soldiers were merely making up the numbers; the military required a strict overhaul before it could be rendered effective. Moreover, the restless future major bandits such as Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing also needed to be deterred.

"Princess, how is it that the old madam and your mother-in-law are not seen today? If they knew you had recovered, they would surely be overjoyed. It is only right that we invite them over to celebrate the Princess's recovery together," Madame Mei asked with a look of astonishment after taking her seat.

After a long while, the city lord, still pale with fright, finally regained his composure and looked at Long Wu, his mouth stumbling slightly over his words.

Just as Huamei entered the inner chamber to help Sizhen bathe along with Que'er and the others, Concubine Yue walked in with Luoyu carrying a large food box.

Bai Bai tilted her head and saw that the webpage he was browsing was Black-Coming, listing the names of the world's most renowned hackers at that moment. Yet no one knew whether these names were real or fake; they could be mere screen names or actual legal names.

"The medicine woman boasted last time that as long as I gave her five hundred taels of silver, she could help me find the right item," Concubine Hua said with displeasure.

When Second Aunt Yu entered the profession of a Master, her mentor had told her about the Four Great Families. The Four Great Families included the Shen family, the Ferrymen of the Mortal World, who had signed a contract with the netherworld, with one descendant per generation inheriting the duty to ferry souls for the netherworld in the realm of the living.
