Chapter Ninety-One: Xiangguo Temple

The Grand Preceptor Temple stood atop Azure Mountain in Puhua Town, just beyond the imperial capital of Kyoto. The mountain rose several hundred feet, towering magnificently into the clouds.

“Your Majesty, the main road ahead has collapsed. We can only take the mountain path to go around,” Li Gui shouted as he ran back from the front.

Inside the imperial carriage, Qin Xiao lifted the gauze curtain. Noble Consort Hua’s face was flushed red.

“Then take the mountain path...”

“What the hell is that monster?” The situation was far too urgent for Chen Zui to feel afraid anymore. For Sophie, he decided to fight with everything he had.

Later, the four families continued for several generations, until at last no one with spiritual roots was born among them again. As for the fact that their family had once inherited the legacy of cultivators, the changing times eventually left no one who knew of it.

A trace of smugness rose on the silver snake’s face. Just as it was about to slip out of range of the giant shadowy hand, it suddenly came to a halt.

Yin Di opened his mouth, wanting to speak first, but Kangxi’s words — “Let the crown prince speak first” — caught him off guard. He could only glare resentfully at Yin Ren, then step aside.

That was why Chen Zui was so puzzled: why would Ji Siyu spend a great deal of money to buy him a set of clothes he might never wear?

So he quickly used his illusionary clone. His true body and his false identity both raised the counterfeit staff of thunder god and cast the summoning thunder art, joining the slaughter of the blackedged mites.

“Fatty, let’s carry Brother Ouyang into the room.” Li Zhishi rose expressionlessly and called out to Fatty. The latter immediately came trotting over. The two of them lifted Ouyang Che, one on each side, and carried him into the house.

Kangxi frowned as he looked down at the one kneeling below: Mother Lin, one of the women sent to serve as a governess for Guarjia’s daughter. He looked somewhat incredulous.

I knew resistance was useless. All the way there, I did not say a single word. Though they dragged me forward, I stubbornly bit my lip and would not let out even the slightest cry of pain.

Hu Seventeen said, “I really don’t know what that kid is called. I only know his family seems to be pretty well off. His parents are rich, and he always has luxury cars picking him up and dropping him off. I don’t know much else. Should I ask Sister Ke Yi for you?”

The ice carved out by Lian Wei and the others was not wasted. Bian Tianzhong had people haul it back, and two ice houses were built from it. One of them was left for He Qizhou.

“Sun Qian, that bitch has already been driven out of the clan. As the bastard born to that woman, you have no right to enter our Sun family. We don’t welcome you here either. Get lost!” Sun Qiao said with disdain, barking the order loudly.

“Because I want to take a gamble! If I cut off your backup plan and see whether, when you are truly driven into a dead end, you will summon the Grand General. Rest assured, I won’t kill you before then,” Han Chong said.

There was no helping it; after all, Rose Manor was the first place where he had lived after coming here, so it still felt somewhat different.

He spoke in a deep voice. His gaunt, bone-like hands made a gesture, and at once the five puppets at the Heavenly King level, which Qin Wu had sent flying with a single slash, seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, as if tugged by invisible threads, and returned to his side.

Although Li Feng did not really understand Ji Ailian’s idea of opening a building-materials shop, she had always obeyed Ji Ailian without question. When she heard that Ji Ailian was short of money, she handed over all the cash in the accounts and even took out the family’s savings from many years back. It moved Ji Ailian deeply.

The other side probably already knew part of the truth, and for the rest, he had made some guesses as well. He was likely only one step away from drawing the final conclusion.

It was probably from the moment he saw that picture aboard the spaceship that Big Brother had already instructed the butler, because this floor actually had a separate jungle-view room.

Let alone a siege, even in a one-on-one fight he could not beat people like Scarlet Feather, Yan Tianhang, Xiao Shan, and Xiao Tiance, all of whom were stronger than he was.

Standing before them was a young man of strikingly handsome appearance, exuding a powerful aura from within, his expression calm and composed, with black and red hair intermingled upon his head.
