148. General Cao Arrives

Rumble~

A large troop of cavalry arrived from the north and halted outside the gates of Hefei. At the lead was a man clad in golden armor and a sweeping crimson cloak. Exceptionally tall and valorous, he exuded an aura of stern dignity and immense oppression. This man was none other than Cao Xin, who had hurried down from the north.

Flanking him were three cavalry generals of similarly imposing stature and agile bearing, accompanied by over three hundred armored horsemen and more than a thousand regular cavalrymen. They were none of the others than Ma Chao, Liao Hua, Yan Xing, and their respective troops.

Zhang Xiaoqin spoke eloquently and forcefully, making sure that in front of Boyi, she asserted the Zhang family's absolute authority over Shumei's marriage and wedding arrangements. She was implying indirectly that without the explicit consent of the Zhang family, Shumei would never be able to escape the palm of their hand.

"No—" The sin dragon was about to go mad; it was truly going to drive it insane. The man before its eyes still intended to treat it like a leek to be harvested again. How could anyone endure such an insult?

Driving her Maserati at top speed, Lin Hanyan arrived at Binhai City First People's Hospital in just about ten minutes.

Wang Xu continuously assembled, adjusted, disassembled, reassembled, and readjusted, working tirelessly over and over again. This was simply the daily routine of a workshop engineer.

In her line of work, one had to keep a constant eye on police bulletins. Consequently, she frequently looked through wanted lists released by the authorities, yet the bounty on this bald man was the highest she had ever seen in her entire life, without a single exception.

The assault from the garrison forces and the missiles from the two mechs followed closely behind. Before Yehailing could recover from the dizziness, he could only manage to throw up a sheet of ice wall in front of him for defense.

As a lawyer at a high-end law firm, Xie Qianqian was a woman of broad horizons and extensive experience. Therefore, upon hearing Wang Jiong's description, rather than feeling terrified, she felt a surge of excitement—an irrepressible impulse to get to the bottom of the whole affair.

Seeing Wang Jiong in such agony, Wang Shouren explained his research findings to him.

Han Xuan felt that she had already begun unbuttoning his clothes. Bathed in the moonlight, Han Xuan managed to clearly make out her face.

"Freedom? What freedom? If anyone acts out of line, I'll have Yanyan escort you all out one by one with a sword. Come on, let's go wait in the living room for Lanlan and Qingqing, and then we'll all head downstairs for a bite to eat," Chen Chen said with a huffy expression. These two girls' trains of thought were simply too active; he could never keep up.

"Let's get ready to move out." Early in the morning, Mu Yuan took a bite out of a vegetarian steamed bun, felt the faint chill in the air, exhaled a puff of frosty breath, and turned to speak to Wangchen, who was standing not far behind him.

Though holding sway over a region, vassal kings were strictly prohibited from interfering in local affairs. Ordinarily, the Prince of Yue dared not even have any private dealings with local authorities.

At that moment, Chu Chen's eyes grew moist. He knew that all these sect masters of the Southern Martial Alliance carried the foundations of their respective sects on their shoulders, and everything they did was for the destiny of their sects.

Luo Lan's features flicked with an imperceptible twitch. He nodded, shifting his gaze away with an unruffled expression before turning it back to the priest Lesmio.

"Does Senior recognize this item?" Chu Xunyu quickly took out Damoda's golden spear and placed it before him.

"Everyone, I've gotten myself into a huge mess!" For some reason, as soon as Chu Chen spoke, he blurted out these exact words.

Tian Yinjue felt a secret shock in his heart: Judging by the tone of the God of Great Spirit, the "Fourth Brother" he spoke of must also possess forty million units of divine power. This is bad. If my demonic power, ghostly power, and divine power hadn't vanished completely without a trace, I would risk my life to unleash the All-Encompassing Sen罗 Barrier and seal the lot of you away.

At this point, the Immortal Emperor clearly realized that killing Xuan Tianyi through the simplistic method he had just used was entirely impossible. Yet, as for killing Xuan Tianyi, he had ten thousand ways to do it.

Although it would take a long time to refine and perfect, having witnessed the devastating power of firearms, he was naturally filled with confidence in this new type of weaponry.

It seemed as though some sort of formation had been activated. Everyone abruptly felt an inexplicable and violent tremor; within the entire mountain belly, fragments of rock were shifting and tumbling everywhere, the surrounding environment kept morphing continuously, and the phantom figures of various demons and ghosts flickered about, as if everything in existence was taking this very spot as its center.
