Chapter 88: Loyalty and Selflessness

In this battle, aside from the Nine Suns Sect, which still retained most of its strength, all the ancient martial families within Jiang Province had lost their top experts. They were now utterly insignificant.

I have already arranged for the Ye family. Within a week at the latest, they will be able to swallow up the industries and foundations of these ancient martial families, and it will not affect the Jiang family’s situation.

...

“I? My name is Li Kuafu.” Li Kuafu answered with considerable calm, giving his odd name that people often mistook for that of some famed streaking legend.

By the time the carriage entered the royal palace and Li Yu stepped down, he already had a plan, though he did not know whether the King of Zhao and the generals would agree with him.

At the same time, Wang Yuetian laid out all his schemes precisely to provoke Ling Yun into seeing him as a threat; only then would Ling Yun reveal the trump cards he had been hiding.

However, after the reminder from the three great men, he felt that warlord warfare could well bring a series of unforeseen consequences. Yet among those consequences was also the possibility that the Red Army could seize the chaos, march against the various warlords one by one, and bring national unification forward.

Seeing this, the usually composed Lin Yuwei faltered for an instant. She hurriedly turned to look into the distance, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in her heart.

Chen Li watched as Yi Xia walked away step by step. Her slow pace seemed heavy as mercury, and the desolation that radiated from body to soul was as absurd as a flower with two lives, so heartbreaking it made one ache for her.

“I know you may not feel too good right now, but you’re still so young. You’ll have plenty more chances in the future,” Kate said softly.

“All right, I’ll go home in a bit and taste your delicious cooking.” With that, Ike hung up.

“We’ll set out after President Mao finishes inspecting the rural situation in Hunan. No later than mid-July,” Zhou Lai said with a smile.

Because the human body rejects foreign blood, all the blood in the body must be recombined through a blood-transformation method before it can contain another person’s vital essence. In this process, without the support of powerful mental strength, the cultivator will be unable to endure the agony, like death by a thousand cuts, and will collapse in spirit and die.

The others in the room, including his eldest uncle and second uncle, all knew what Lin Feng had gone to the island country to do, and they too were filled with worry. Lin Feng was no longer merely a descendant of the Lin family; he was also the hope of their clan and of the old established families in Yanjing to rise again.

When the pockmarked man saw Fang Jiren and the tall man come back into the room, he knew he was in mortal danger and very likely to die here without a sound. A fierce will to survive surged from deep within him, and with all his strength he let out muffled cries.

“Yes, I’m at Angel Entertainment now, working with EA.” Under Meng Lu’s repeated hints, Fu Yan finally stated his “advantage” very plainly.

Lin Ying froze. Sha Pocang also froze. After a moment, Lin Ying came to his senses and spoke.

Disguised as the great villain of the Demon God Cult, Lin Tian deliberately and subtly deepened Lu Wuneng’s misunderstanding, carving fear itself into his soul.

Fu Yan and Li Siyi secretly caught sight of the painting in Fu Wei’s hands through the window, then looked at each other and, almost at the same instant, spoke in unison.

Hearing this, Fu Yan felt a sudden sting in his nose, and his voice nearly broke. He bit hard into his lower lip, unwilling to let his feelings show through at that moment.

Herman also hurriedly rose and bowed. The magical fluctuations around Lanni were vast and boundless; he was no fool and could tell at a glance that her mana alone was no weaker than his own. Naturally, he gave her the respect her status deserved.

She smiled and stretched her arms toward him. He leaned his neck toward her, and with a low laugh she wrapped her arms around it. As he pulled her up, he covered her chest with the undergarment, the soft, full warmth settling into his large hands.
