Chapter 25: Deliberately Creating Ambiguity

“Are you really planning to bankrupt the Liu family just like that?” I watched Jin Shixun take the tea from my hands, yet I still asked about the question troubling me.

Making an entire family go bankrupt was not the sort of impulsive thing Jin Shixun would do.

“They did what they should never have done and provoked someone they should never have touched. They must pay the price.” Jin Shixun sipped the tea I had brewed...

The requirements for the two techniques were extraordinarily demanding. He had only managed, on a single occasion, to cast three clones along with his true body and kill four disciples from the sect.

At that moment, the Ancestral Dragon still found time to boast to Empress Wa. She was so furious that she gnashed her teeth and cursed the fool countless times in her heart.

Provincial Governor Cao and Emperor Chen Qing had never met. They could hardly be called friends; in fact, they had never even spoken. Thus, the invitation was issued for reasons that seemed utterly inexplicable.

Where had the three of them retained even a trace of their earlier arrogance and tyranny? Their faces were ghastly, and their eyes fixed on Lin Feng were filled with profound shock and disbelief.

He was extremely happy today. The director of Oriental TV would reach retirement age next year, and he was the strongest candidate to succeed him. Even if he failed to become director, he could at least secure the position of deputy director. How could he not be happy? Receiving praise at such a crucial moment said everything.

Three great rivers of fortune stretched from one end into an unknown void, while the other descended above Ji Tian’s head, pouring their surging power of fortune into him.

In an instant, Susanoo’s movements, which had previously been somewhat sluggish, accelerated strangely. Xiao Jie had already calculated when Susanoo would bring down that slash, but the sudden change caught him off guard. Under the brief burst of speed, the weapon that had yet to fully take shape slammed violently into Xiao Jie.

As they spoke, lightning flashed and thunder rolled between heaven and earth. Countless bolts of lightning reached down to the surface of the sea, enveloping the entire Glazed Island and the surrounding waters in endless storms. The dense web of lightning transformed the whole sea into a realm of thunderlight.

After ending their lives, he also collected their spatial rings. Every one of them had reached the peak of the Dao-Entering Realm, and the treasures they had accumulated were certainly worth taking.

“It’s beginning...” Tan Fei tossed the playing cards into the air. Fifty-two cards joined together in a single stream, transforming into a long dragon. With a rapid series of sharp swishes, the dragon of cards formed a vast circle before Ghost-Hand Tan Fei.

Although the invitation was extended to Chen Feng, anyone could see that the Liu family’s eldest young master meant him no goodwill whatsoever.

Too many stones were spinning through the air, packed together as densely as raindrops. Brother Lu struggled desperately amid the torrent of rubble, but even an elephant could be brought down by a swarm of ants—especially since these stones were no longer ordinary stones.

“What?” Mu Feng and Zhu Xiaoyu cried out simultaneously. The other members also gathered around one after another, asking their questions in turn.

Li Cheng and Ha Wuliang therefore went ahead to Wushi Fortress to investigate. Just as Li Cheng had said, Wushi Luo accepted them without the slightest hesitation. Liu Kan and the others then hid inside Wushi Fortress, quietly observing the movements outside. They knew everything that happened with absolute clarity.

Also within the Eight Desolations Realm stood the Yang family’s residence. Behind the mountain, the scenery was lush and beautiful, an idyllic place of breathtaking charm. Yet in such a lovely setting stood a thatched hut. That crude and incongruous structure, built amid such beauty, was an utter blight upon the landscape.

Sima Cuo then selected the finest warriors from among those who had passed the trials and formed the forerunner of the Commandant Guard.

I was terrified. They dragged me over and tied me to a pillar while I stared at them in fear.

Xia Wanyu had once asked a doctor about it. The doctor said that Zhang Ling’s body was naturally suited to childbirth: she had wide, shapely hips, firm and powerful thighs, and a healthy pelvis. Her uterine walls were highly elastic, and she had no unhealthy habits whatsoever. She was, quite simply, a natural-born mother.
