Chapter 64 Evasiveness

(1/3)

The process of waiting for the system to reply is always agonizingly long.

So long that Shen Qingyao even began to wonder if the system had crashed.

[System.]

[I am here.]

Hearing the crisp and cheerful response, Shen Qingyao felt an urge to kill the system.

Playing dumb and acting innocent—this system had truly mastered those arts.

[Is it because something happened between us that you added points to my account?]

[You may interpret it that way.]

Seeing Su Mu taking sneak photos of her, Lady Shi did not stop playing the zither. She continued to strum with one hand while raising the other to show off her little claws, opening her mouth at the same time to mimic a biting action.

Therefore, they had no choice but to buy some cheap items from outside to furnish the manor, ensuring at the very least that a table could be provided when Lord Wang You dined.

Su Mu caught sight of Lady Shi's vehicle, greeted Luqian beside him, and walked straight toward the carriage.

"We must get our hands on this Longevity Pill. If the old master can live for another five years, I am confident I can push the Wang family to the next level. Even if the old master is no longer around in the future, the Wang family will stand firm and unshakable," Wang Zong muttered to himself.

Kaitian Prefecture was vast—so vast that the location of their sect was merely like a drop in the ocean. If he could not find other cultivators to ask for directions, he feared he would never be able to return to the Cangyun Sect for the rest of his life.

Yan Rou and Bei Yan naturally agreed as well. After all, there were still risks involved, but with Tian Chou present, they felt at ease.

Li Ru also knew that Liu He was worried the Xuanwei Guard might abuse their power of summary execution and arbitrary slaughter, which was why he had established the Censorate. He then completely purged and reshuffled the personnel of the Xuanwei Guard to ensure that Liu He's concerns would never materialize.

Usury, annexing land, and tricking ordinary people into pouring their family fortunes into temples to accumulate blessings—case after case, crime after crime, had ruined countless lives and driven innumerable people down a road of no return.

A gentle breeze carrying a hint of coolness brushed against the face, capable of lifting one's mood and making the whole day feel pleasant. However, this good mood did not last long.

At this moment, Meng Lin crashed into one wall after another. His entire body was ice-cold, his eyes were devoid of spirit, and his expression was ferocious yet tinged with a trace of terror.

In truth, when watching Shichen explain the glory of a magic family, Li Mingyuan felt a deep sense of empathy. His imperial father shared a similar mindset: he wished to sit back and watch his sons and grandsons fight among themselves, picking the strongest to control the most powerful nation in the world, while the vanquished served as the victor's spoils and became nutrients for the state.

Clearly, the losses inflicted by such a war would be immense. With the main battlefield set in Guizhou, a densely populated and agriculturally prosperous region, the aftermath of the flames of war would likely leave corpses scattered across the land for a thousand barren miles. But did that matter?

As it turned out, Jian Xin, whose emotional knots had begun to untangle, cared deeply for Seton, yet felt too shy to visit him directly, so she asked Strongs to look for him aboard the Walter. To her surprise, the ship was completely deserted. Holding onto a sliver of hope, she came to the stronghold of the Sige Mercenary Corps to try her luck.

Prior to this, everyone had joked with Luoyang, wondering if the others saw that he was a giant and thought he was easy to fool, which was why they had approached him. Now, it seemed their joking words had hit the nail right on the head.

At this moment, the military generals at court, regardless of seniority, all needed to take orders from Zhao Gou. In other words, Emperor Huizong of Song had entrusted the safety of the Great Song entirely to Zhao Gou alone, showing his absolute determination to execute the rebellious traitors.

Those who have never killed a person cannot truly empathize; killing is one of the most exhilarating thrills in the world.

General Li stood to the side, consumed a bottle of potion, and then used the energy within his body to slowly heal the wound on his back.

"That's right. Ling Hao, that bastard, practices a Profound Yin Sword Manual that his Ling family obtained from the Hao family. The inner energy generated from it is exceptionally chilling and cold," Huo Yu said with a nod.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a terrifying monster of apocalyptic proportions emerged, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors joined forces to fight it for three days and three nights before finally eliminating it. One could only imagine how immense the power of that demon was.

Lin Ya was in her office. Li Hao had failed to return home again last night, leaving a very sour taste in her heart. Clearly, that fellow had already lowered his pride and softened toward her, yet he had stayed out for yet another entire night.

Although the weather was still somewhat chilly, the winter sunlight shining upon the body felt quite comfortable. Tang Yuan suddenly felt that it had indeed been a long time since he last went out for a stroll.

Wisdom Heaven understood the hint in his heart and instructed Wushengtian and Jixiangtian to withdraw. The two of them already understood that Di Chongxiao would not make a move, so they bowed and retreated.

Later on, after making inquiries through every possible means, the Gongsun family learned that as long as one took the Infant-Transformation Pill, the hidden flaws in Shangguan Wujiu's Nascent Soul could be eliminated.

The fat man dumped all the crystals onto the table and counted them—thirty-two in total. The group sorted them into fourteen different types. Ten of them had been seen before, and they knew the specific categories for eight of them, while four were completely unfamiliar.

Now, he felt his entire body surging with strength. If he wished, a casual strike could unleash more than ten times his normal power.

Had I offended her somewhere again? Why is it that the moment she sets her eyes on me, her brows suddenly turn icy cold, as if she harbors a blood feud against me?

At noon, I was invited by the "relevant authorities" for questioning, and it wasn't until evening that a high-priced senior lawyer bailed me out under the pretext that my client was suffering from kidney deficiency.

On this day, Gongsun Wujiu was maneuvering the flying boat. Suddenly, everyone felt a slight jolt, and the speed of the flying boat began to slow down gradually.

I originally loved the flowers of the scholar tree the most, but now I loathe their sweetness. I gave the mooncakes away to the servants and sat alone by the window in a daze. Green Pearl, seeing me silent for a long time, tried to make small talk to amuse me.

When she killed her cousin back then, although she reaped the benefits in the end, the fundamental cause was her anger at him for shifting the blame of his accidental murder onto her.

The cultivators looked at the objects on the ground and saw that all metal implements had been smashed to pieces, while treasures made of wood and stone were completely undamaged. It was clear that when Yuan Xuedie wielded the Azure Feather Divine Light, she had secretly imbued it with profound techniques, protecting the wooden and stone treasures from harm.

After the contract was established, both sides simultaneously ordered a ceasefire. Upon receiving the command, the powerful figures on both sides felt puzzled, but they strictly executed the order and retreated to either side.

Frost formed on the ground, and the coefficient of friction plummeted instantly. In temperatures that chilled one to the bone, the sharp reduction in Bled's speed made it easier for the machine to capture his movements, while the decrease in frictional resistance caused him to lose partial control of his body, forcing him to continue charging forward under sheer momentum.

The Northern District served as an outpost established by sect and family forces within Dongyou City. Every influential faction worth its salt would leave their mark in Dongyou City; even if they had no use for it on ordinary days, possessing such a stronghold still lent them a certain measure of prestige and face.
