Chapter 151: No War in the North
"Ziyu, you've had a hard past few months."
At Xuchang, Prime Minister Cao greeted Cao Xin at the city gate, taking him by the hand and asking after his well-being with deep concern.
Cao Xin laughed heartily. "Prime Minister, it was no hardship at all. The weather in Jiaozhou is wonderful, and the scenery is breathtaking. I built a beach resort inn down there. Golden beaches are everywhere, complete with seafood and beauties. If the Prime Minister ever has time, you should go there to recuperate. Rest more, and your headaches will disappear."
"A resort?"
Yu Ying abruptly condensed a magic arrow, shooting it out like a bolt of black lightning. It slammed heavily into a boulder beside Fu Jing, blasting a huge hole right through the rock and sending dust flying everywhere.
Young Master Lin thought with a jolt of terror: If he had signed the blood oath earlier and still couldn't open this Azure Luotian realm, wouldn't he have lost both his army and his concubine?
Fang Biao had initially been somewhat surprised and displeased by his son's remark, but seeing the reaction of the crowd below, he could not help smiling slightly.
"Putting myself in your shoes, you were the ones who first harmed my most beloved family and left me homeless. The unforgivable criminals are you. I've said it long ago: good and evil will eventually meet their karmic retribution, and you won't be able to triumph forever." Su Linyu's voice trembled as she spoke these words.
The exact same facial location and the exact same tattoo color both indicated that this person belonged to the Moon Shadow Corps.
Mu Yan had once sneered into the back-mountain mansion, attempting to persuade Mother Bu to go ahead with the resort development project for the Bay of Waves. Unfortunately, due to Natasha's opposition, she had remained hesitant.
A dense mass of writhing zombies swarmed the entire restaurant so tightly that not even water could trickle through, resembling countless ants crawling all over a piece of sweet pastry.
Before long, once all the high-ranking members of the Fearless Cult had arrived, they gazed toward the ancient palace and bowed slightly in salute.
Su Linyu shook her head. Beyond her anxiety over Ji Xialin's condition, she felt a profound sense of indebtedness; if not for him, the one lying on that hospital bed right now would be her.
After waiting for a moment, they heard no second fierce flame explosion. Presumably, Gao Song had worried that detonating the hell bomb outside the Five Elements Altar would destroy the Five Elements Grand Array, and thus held back.
Even so, both Dong Tiancheng and Cheng Kai had to mobilize every ounce of spiritual energy within their spiritual seas to barely manage to block the aftermath.
Yunya wore a black, knee-length gauze dress, a pair of brown sunglasses perched on her face, and her thin lips curved upward slightly. It seemed her mood was quite pleasant.
However, as for these aristocratic family entanglements of the Mai family, even if Mai Yi wanted to meddle, it was simply beyond his reach.
"And the result?" Lu Xijia still very much wanted to know the whereabouts of Wang Hongxia and the others, wondering if they had returned to the village. Even if the Wang family members went back now, they would likely be mocked throughout the village.
At the very least, she had to fill her stomach first. The sensation of starvation was far too agonizing, and the hardships Yu Jie had endured this time left a deep, indelible impression on her. Therefore, even knowing that Liang Yuqi was extremely dangerous, she gritted her teeth and came over anyway.
For the sake of his future development and the safety of those around him, Ji Zhongyuan had no choice but to issue such an order.
"Do you two constantly help Shen Guojia do this kind of thing?" Yi Ning stopped struggling, steadying herself as she tried to extract some information from the mouths of the two matrons.
Hearing this, Yu Jie grew even more agitated. "Anyway, we have nothing left now. Even if I have to die, I'll drag someone down with me to the grave." As she spoke, she shot a defiant look at Mu Yanzhen.
She rubbed her eyes. The sunlight outside the window was somewhat faint, and the room was dim. Feeling a bit groggy, she couldn't quite tell what time it actually was.
The next moment, countless blood-red feathers descended. Yet, just as they were an inch away from Huang Zizhen, the blood feathers vanished completely as if sinking into water, accompanied by the sound of splashing droplets.
Right at that moment, Tu Lie, Old Ghost Su, and the others also caught up, subsequently surrounding Lang Yan within their circle.
Zhou Mo pulled Lu Jia back to the threshold of the entrance, opened the door from behind, and stepped out. After quickly locking the main door, she let out a long breath of relief.
