Volume One, Chapter 140: Yun Xueyan’s Attitude

Observing the formations surrounding them and the auras emanating from the various mountain peaks, the loose cultivators realized that escape was impossible. They had no choice but to accept a reality whose outcome remained uncertain.

Upon returning to Wadang Town and finding Gongshu Ban, Zichuan handed over the mission item, the "Wooden Kite." Gongshu Ban was overcome with excitement, his frantic, dance-like gestures leaving no trace of the dignity expected of a descendant of a noble lineage—a sight that left Zichuan speechless.

The man said nothing more in response. Instead of looking at her, he fixed his gaze on the plate of date paste cakes she held.

The list of relatives of the fallen soldiers was delivered to Long Sifeng. Now, it remained to be seen how Lao Jiu intended to proceed. Upon receiving the news, Lao Jiu immediately set up camp in the north, preparing to direct operations personally from afar.

Lu Yan’s face was dark, his menacing gaze locked onto Chen Xue. When he heard her words, a fire of fury ignited within him, and he wished he could incinerate her on the spot. How could she possibly say such a thing?

Upon hearing Kankuro’s form of address, Kimimaro glanced at him sideways, his cold gaze serving as a warning.

Although the concealment technique made it impossible to discern Ji Fuchen’s appearance or expression, the attitude he displayed was unmistakable.

The weapons provided were all standardized Yellow-tier iron blades, displayed on racks nearby. Zhao Xunwang reached out and grabbed a sword with a balanced and sturdy design.

"What is this? Didn't Brother Jiu announce his withdrawal from the struggle for dominance in the game world? Could it be that your Xiaoyao Empire still has other plans?" Upon entering the Hongmen headquarters, Lao Jiu happened to run into the representative of HX, who turned out to be his old acquaintance, Zuoqiu Lingyun.

After all, the previous purges of Buddhism by the Taoist, Qian, and aristocratic families had weakened their own foundations, and the conflict between the Sword Sect and the Spirit Dynasty had caused the decline of many wandering swordsmen. Aside from the beneficiaries, these events served as little more than post-meal gossip for everyone else. It was only the loss of so many talented martial artists that truly invited pity.

Zhou Xian opened the door to find Lu Anran tied to a chair, blindfolded and gagged. Her clothes were still relatively neat, but the scene was... well, tsk tsk.

He Su emerged from my body when I least expected it. She suddenly leaned close to the landlord, which gave me quite a start.

Shangguan Jingyi was furious to see Liu Ningya paying more attention to the fish basket than to him. Sun Biao, however, felt that Shangguan Jingyi was the one with the problem.

She had known in her past life that Cheng Yao would return to serve as a talent show mentor, though she had never paid attention to who was organizing the show.

At that time, the Imperial Noble Consort, dressed in plain white robes and having removed her hairpins in penance, knelt outside the Qiankun Hall. Every word she spoke was steeped in sorrow, a testament to her heart as a mother.

I had the guards help collect the coffins into the dilapidated temple, then asked Huzi to help find a suitable place to bury the four or five guards.

This statement took everyone by surprise. Hadn't Green-Robed Canglang been determined to duel Zhang Danfeng? Why, upon meeting, did he choose not to fight?

Wan Feng’s eyes reddened. It was his incompetence; had it been otherwise, the Prince would not have died, and the Princess would not be so heartbroken.

During recording, guests were required to follow the prescribed procedures, but the program team took no interest in whether the two guests contacted each other privately.

Thus, under the control of the nano-puppet insects, Luo Yi acted without autonomy. He first put on a disguise, gathered both cold and heat-based weapons, evaded school surveillance, and slipped toward the medical school. He finally concealed himself in the dense forest midway, awaiting Tang Jie’s next command.

After bidding farewell to Su Yajun and arranging for You Hua to serve as his personal bodyguard, the evening glow already filled the sky as I headed home.

However, after the brief shock, a sense of inexplicable excitement welled up in both of their hearts.

Perhaps the look of bewilderment and shock on his face was too obvious, for the Prime Minister kindly produced an imperial decree and respectfully handed it to Shen Tianqing.

Just then, the four demon lords all noticed Qin Jiuge’s movements. Sensing the increasingly manic and violent fluctuations of origin power, their expressions changed in unison.

Stepping out of the shelter amidst the praise and banter of the audience, Jia Long immediately stooped low to guard against a possible attack by wild wolves.

He had used this object several times before, and it was no longer in perfect condition. Xie Xuan felt a flutter of anxiety wondering if it could withstand the might of the Great Annihilation Sword.

He tidied up his few garments, at least creating the appearance of having departed; otherwise, leaving without any belongings and abandoning a messy guest room would surely raise suspicions.

A beauty in red leaned against the doorframe of his guest room, yawning listlessly, only to perk up the moment she saw Hua Lingyu.

"It was the same place?" Duan knew Miao Xuan quite well. While Zuo Feng was mischievous and prone to lying like other boys, Miao Xuan rarely lied. Although shy, he was a sensible boy who would never lie about such matters.

The same logic applied to the families. The Qian family of today numbered well over a thousand members.

Qian Bei’er covered her mouth and turned to run upstairs, her footsteps heavy as if she were pouring every ounce of her strength into each stride.

Terrified, Yuan Shao immediately drew his sword. "Your blade is sharpened, and mine is no slouch. Care to test them?" He wore the look of one prepared to burn his boats.

The campaign against Qingzhou sounded incredibly bold, but although Cao Cao had twenty thousand troops at the time, a large portion of his elite forces had to remain to guard the base against the ambitions of other warlords or figures like Li Jue and Guo Si. Thus, when the army set out, though it claimed to be thirty thousand strong, it actually numbered only eight thousand.
