Chapter 121: A Disgusting Gathering

There was no need for further explanation.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Mingyue, Elder Yao, and the Tomb Raider Trio set off on their return journey. Since they still had access to an aircraft, flying out of the Daliang Mountains posed no major problem.

Chen Yang did not return with them; instead, he flew solo back to his hometown in Lianhua County. There were only three days left until his grandfather’s seventieth birthday. Chen Yang also...

In truth, Old Demon Mei and his companions had never intended to kill Li Ning. Because none of the three possessed the same serendipitous opportunity as Old Man Ning, they were unaware of Li Ning’s Pure Yang body. Consequently, they lacked the calculated malice of Old Man Ning.

Fortunately, in this era of advanced information, the players reacted immediately, swarming into the virtual network to search for the profiles of the seven contestants.

Those who had been driven to a killing frenzy were brought back to their senses by his roar, though a small number of the Kun tribe members were still weeping and hacking at one another. They had long since been blinded by bloodlust; how could they still distinguish friend from foe?

Bizhu’s tears turned to smiles. Seeing her master finally rallying, the maid naturally felt a sense of joy.

"How could there be nothing to do?" Upon hearing this, a thought immediately sprouted in Yu Ming’s mind. Hadn’t he long wanted to establish an intelligence-gathering agency? Hongxiu seemed quite adept at espionage. She was the perfect person for the task—she was his senior sister and his future wife, someone he could trust implicitly.

For the past few days, Jiang Yi had been practicing the Eight Extremes Hunyuan Path with frantic intensity. With the assistance of crystals and medicinal pills, he had already achieved remarkable results.

As a Jiangnan merchant holding a large stack of paper currency and frequently involved in procurement deals with the Zhou army, Xie Changfeng was naturally deeply concerned about the matter. Especially after being goaded by Muba Shafu into abandoning the exchange that day, he had felt a lingering sense of regret upon returning home.

"Did Lillard really 'take care of' Yoshiko Yamaguchi?" I am not sure if that is a reasonable way to put it, but I wanted even less to use the word "killed."

I was curious if, in such an environment, Lillard would experience a powerful urge to feed, though I myself was currently being tormented by that very sensation.

Li Hao looked at these people; they were clearly not the fighting type and would only get beaten if they stayed. He chuckled and said, "Alright, it’s over. Go back. Even if you see someone surrounding me in the future, don't come out." With that, Li Hao strode toward the school.

While admiring the beautiful scenery, Xia Mo suddenly felt as if her body were scorched by heat. Her face flushed with pain, turning as red as if it had been painted with lacquer.

This was the moment for Empress Dowager Wei to demonstrate her noble character. Not only did she clear the name of the Du clan and posthumously confer the title of Duke Zhongzheng upon Du Jianhong, but she also ceased obstructing the Emperor from governing. However, she retained her authority as Empress Dowager to assist in state affairs.

She covered her mouth with her hand. After a long while, the pain radiating from her wrist caused her to knit her brows slightly before she spoke in a timid voice.

In any case, if she didn't properly vent this pent-up frustration, she would find it hard to breathe. Once again, she cursed the shameless and unprincipled dog-couple, Mu Haotian and Fang Shuyao, in her heart.

"Speak your mind, Minister Lian," the Jade Emperor said. Seeing the situation, he had already guessed seven or eight parts of it. His expression shifted slightly, and he dropped his formal pretense.

As soon as the words fell, she felt a few drops of viscous liquid land on her face. Trembling, she touched it with her hand and brought it before her eyes; it was dark red blood.

When she turned around, she saw Tong’an avert his gaze, but he was too slow to hide the smile playing on his lips. Shi Yi knew then that the person in the painting had finally stepped out of their cage and was no longer isolated from the world.

"The prescription is right here. I have fulfilled my promise to Miss Ning, and I wash my hands of the rest!" With that, the divine physician huffed and swept away, his sleeves billowing.

At a time like this, stalling was the best option. As long as Xia Mo was not executed immediately, there would be a way to save her.
