Chapter 60: Unyielding

Bai Huan glanced nervously at Lady Gu Zhou, who glared at her fiercely, openly threatening her. She shrank back and quietly hid behind Lord Ruhyang, speaking in a soft, timid voice: “Word has it around town that the mistress of the Marquis’s residence is cruel and jealous, that Fourth Young Master’s mother, Lady Liu, died under mysterious circumstances, and her dowry was swallowed up by the household. The poor ten-year-old child never had the means to study, wandering outside like a wild child all day, without even a decent set of clothes. The dignified son of a marquis, yet as pitiful as an orphan without parents.”

When Mingxi returned and saw the three people drained of all spiritual energy, he shook his head and sighed.

At that moment, Chen Xingyu could only let Diao Chan remain at the rear of the plane, exposing himself alone to the crowd.

I looked around and suddenly realized in terror that our surroundings were blocked by trees, as if we had been encircled.

Grila took a knife from her bag, scraped the fish scales, opened the belly, cleaned it in the water, then sliced it up. She pulled out some salt and told us to sprinkle it on the pieces as we ate.

Lin Sese’s gaze was fixed on the departing figure of Leng Xizhe, lost in thought. He was born with a certain pride—if he disliked the question, he simply would not answer.

At this moment, Fang Ang had completely restrained all his spiritual energy and presence, sneaking closer in secret.

“Snow Princess!” Seeing the man in black withdraw, Gu Xiao began to call for his other subordinate.

The City Lord’s mansion was the heart of the city, naturally guarded by formations. At the middle-aged man’s command, divine light blazed, lines of runes intertwined and surged toward Gu Xiao with tremendous force, far beyond what ordinary people could lay down.

“All of this is my fault. Heaven, why do you only punish Yin Junfeng? Why not punish me as well? Are you really so selfish, so eager to toy with us?” Tie Xiangxue cried out in her heart, full of grief and anger.

The one-armed man entered and settled onto the long bench beside Xiao Li, moved his lips, then silently reached out with his right hand to pick up chopsticks and eat.

“Xu Dang…” Ji Yunxi called his name in a daze, but was interrupted halfway by Xu Dang.

“Hey, what are you laughing at?” Didn’t she see how annoyed she was? And yet he was laughing—how infuriating.

Not only the Law Enforcement Elder, but everyone present was momentarily stunned by Bai Yujing’s words, almost doubting their own ears.

With the Silver Serpent Demon still alive, Bai Yujing had the greatest backing. In the entire Purity Manor, no one dared touch him.

As for whether the disciples of Northern Mang Sword Sect hated him, Bai Yujing had long ceased to care.

Then handfuls of earth began to cover the graves, cries for mercy and curses echoed bleakly in the quiet air, the wind whipping the rain as if marking the end of these lives.

Lin Feng was likely quite capable; remembering that this was Drunken Heaven Tower, famed for its wine that intoxicates the sky rather than the drinker, he suppressed his anger.

“Remember, find the best doctor. I don’t want Uncle Tang to suffer any mishap,” Lin Hao said as he looked at Sun Lu.

Upon hearing this, Sister Li’s heart skipped a beat and her face changed dramatically. Even Nalan Yanran beside her was surprised.

The bald man and the one with green hair understood at last—it wasn't directed at them, but at this fellow, and they had been frightened for nothing, thinking an enemy had sent assassins.

Ning Youyu spoke with a calmness like drifting clouds, yet her words brooked no argument. Now everyone understood that she was not a gentle leader, but a very forceful one.

Next, the gourd slowly descended; when it was less than ten meters from the ground, a youth leaped off it.

“This…” The Ma family members nearby hesitated. They were zombies, fundamentally opposed to the exorcists. Now they were to be taken in—it was hard to accept.

Add to this Zhong Wuxia’s heart full of vengeance, as she plunged deep into the enemy’s territory, tearing a great hole in their defenses.
