20 Hesitation

A tavern appeared within sight, and Ye Yang and Ye Xiao’s eyes immediately lit up. Their stomachs growled loudly, and in a flash, they dashed inside, startling passersby who hurriedly dodged out of the way, muttering curses.

Standing beside Li Bai, Huo Sanqian suddenly leapt forward from the front, blocking the young man’s path in an instant.

“Don’t push me. Believe it or not, I’ll shout for help!” The man in black crawled toward the city gate of Chang’an. The guards stationed there immediately sprang to attention, drawing their weapons and watching the three men warily. The surrounding townsfolk scattered in fear.

At this moment, seeing Lin Jie still motionless, one of the men in black angrily exclaimed, and in an instant, a layer of airstream slowly spread across his body.

Thus, solid evidence of success is crucial, but even without it, as long as there is a direction, one can still gather evidence on their own.

“Hmph! You’re courting death. Lie Ri possesses the cultivation of a false king realm; going after him will inevitably lead to a fight. I advise you not to go,” Tu Jie sneered.

Crack! Under the bright moon, thunder suddenly roared, and a bolt of lightning struck a large tree near the red-haired man, instantly splitting it in two.

This time, not only did the guards at the camp gate rush out, but the two remaining sentries atop the walls also leapt down to assist. Six guards swarmed around Chou Ying, surrounding him.

Li Yesi and Li Yexu personally greeted guests at the main gate. Upon entering the guest hall, it was brightly lit and bustling with lively drinking.

Yuan Tiangang stepped forward, immediately greeted by several smiling faces. Clearly, Yuan’s name was well known among many.

After finishing work, he was given only a coarse steamed bun—still hungry, he wanted another, but Old Madam He scolded him as a glutton.

Upon hearing this, He Yan felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his chest, followed by a sharp dagger piercing through.

This summer, everyone in Hongqi Village, young and old, was busy installing new power lines. The ranch nearby wanted to expand, and the village’s old wires were unusable. In previous years, the construction crew would bring lines from elsewhere, but this year, upon hearing it was Hongqi Village, they refused to come no matter what.

It turned out Sheng Jingheng kicked the thug hard, sending him flying two meters away.

After Chen Shengjun and He Hongyu were arrested, just like in the previous life of the original owner, they endured a living hell. Yet, He Hongyu had lived longer and was more tolerant than the original owner.

Pang Qianxi felt utterly exhausted, as if the years of her relationship were a cruel joke. She had believed she found a good husband. Indeed, Tang Yaozu treated her well, but whenever his mother spoke, no matter her grievances, he paid them no mind.

Even though Du Mingde was detained for a few days, it wasn’t as if he was utterly ruined. Thinking of Song Xinguo, who was dismissed from the county hospital, Qiao Lan’s eyes flickered with a deep, somber light—apparently, this was not unprecedented.

One had to admit that Shi Han’s scheming was ruthless yet idealistic and optimistic. Whether it would succeed was another matter entirely.

“Yes, Shi Han had long applied for an external transfer to become magistrate of Chiping County. We should urge him to assume his post,” Sun Xiu added.

“Is that a fireball over there?” A half-lion man pointed toward the eastern sky, drawing the clan’s attention.

In the courtyard before the Six Harmonies Gate, Zhao Lin was practicing bone strengthening with an iron sandbag when a medium-built, mature-looking apprentice approached and spoke to him.

As subjects of Xiong Wuliang, naturally, they all hoped their Marquis of Quyang could “take a step further.”

If something needed to be sent into the Yang Residence, the swift-footed Nangong Jin would be dispatched, while the speaker would stay nearby to provide support in case of emergencies.

Within this golden lotus was the essence of Qilin Flame. After refining it, he could use its power to continuously temper his body.

The White Demon clan had been sent into the Ten Abyss Wells by his orders. Regardless of how many white demons were sent, no response had yet been detected.

Qin Luowan did not linger. She got up and swiftly evaded, though pursued fiercely, she remained calm and composed.

“Lante! How could you mistake me?” Tuotapala rushed forward, expressing his displeasure.

“By the way, since Brother Shenhao is so wealthy, why not give me another ten thousand Demon Crystal Kings for pocket money?” Firefly Na Yao stretched out her hand.

The Angel’s Eye teleportation had only two conditions: sufficient energy and remaining undetected by others.

At this moment, Xiao Li landed atop the Flying Immortal Mountain. With a wave of his large hand, he ordered the troops to disperse.

Xiao Li narrowed his eyes, stepped into the void, and with his left hand grasped at thin air, pulling out the Fallen Night Monarch. He immediately activated it, transforming it into a banner spear form.

With his swordsmanship, such an incident would never have occurred, yet just now, his mind suddenly became uneasy.

The Qi family wanted Yang Zheng to serve the eldest son’s family like a beast of burden, for only the eldest son was her true child. Only his family could carry on the Yang legacy. As long as she lived, Yang Zheng had to surrender everything he earned.

Was he destined to wear Carl’s name and become a pitiful pawn under the cursed Western Theocracy?

Everyone in the city hid indoors, furiously digging basements, desperately awaiting the coming war—the city was sealed tight, and no one could leave under the heavy guard of the city militia.

“What will I draw?” Xiao Li hoped eagerly, but he did not immediately begin drawing; instead, he set off to explore.

After learning of Angel Yan’s unwavering devotion to true love, Kaisa evidently recalled her own youth, her eyes rarely showing a touch of melancholy.

On the other side stood a divine general clad in full armor, muscles corded and tough as forged black iron, towering like an iron tower.

“You’re talking nonsense. Hui’er is fine; nothing has happened. I warn you, don’t speak nonsense,” Gu Yiqing snapped upon hearing Lin Dongxian’s words, reacting as if hair had been set on fire. His strange response alerted Lin Dongxian that something was definitely amiss.

“Hmph, the fight will come sooner or later unless you’re willing to lose everything you have now!” Anglu sneered coldly.

Zuo Ci’s Taoist cultivation was profound. Therefore, Ling Yi guessed that Zuo Ci might use surveillance methods beyond his detection to monitor inside the Great God Barrier.

There were far fewer people on the second floor, and they appeared to be of higher status, dressed more splendidly.
