Chapter 104

The four great races need not be mentioned. As the family head, Zhuge Ming, though lacking martial prowess, had dispatched the last of his clan guards, for everyone knew this was to be the final battle. If they could endure this fight, the establishment and restoration of the Divine Dragon Empire would be unstoppable.

Qin Da, true to his reputation as an ancient warrior, reacted swiftly. Regardless of whether he saw anything strange, he first picked up several stones from the ground and hurled them at the lit candle on the puppet’s lampstand.

In Liu Xinrou’s heart, these second sisters-in-law had made such sacrifices for their elder brother, and it was truly magnificent. As times changed, love became increasingly rare, yet from these women, Liu Xinrou found renewed faith in love.

This proved that the days of their rise were at hand. With the guidance of the treasure-seeking heir, the family’s glory was surely within reach.

Kelin nodded upon hearing Heles’s voice, then took out a celestial bean and tossed it to her.

The Ming cavalry charged through the scattered French ranks under Captain Per but did not waste time wiping out the survivors. Instead, they pursued Marquis Orlon and the main French force of eighteen thousand.

“I didn’t expect such intense electromagnetic interference here!” Xiao Cheng’s face grew grave as he gazed out at the snowy world beyond the window.

Heles gritted her teeth. “Damn Shalu, to gain such power, how many humans have you absorbed?” Clenching her fists tightly, she wished she could instantly teleport over and confront Shalu.

The approaching group numbered thirty or so horsemen, their faces covered with black cloth and wielding sharp blades. They halted just thirty paces from Zhao’s household troops.

Within Dragon City, few matters escaped the notice of Lianyun Mountain. The Restoration Council was deeply rooted in Dragon City, slowly built by the old ministers loyal to the Divine Dragon Empire. Their loyalty remained unshaken.

Regrettably, Feng Wuqing did not see even a wisp of Moxiao’s soul left behind here. Did he have no lingering attachments?

The three rushed toward Lin Dashan, swiftly encircling him. Rarely had Su Yu seen Lin Dashan in such a state, and she couldn’t help but smile secretly.

After casting a deep look at Cheng Xu, he led the Howling Sky Dog away. Although Cheng Xu had been struck by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s palm, his injuries were not severe. During the battle between Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, Cheng Xu had already recovered.

After a round of mischief, Qin Yibai left the remaining mess to the Celestial Emperor and Yuan Weng. What followed, even without thinking, was certain to be another bloody purge.

Seeing the old man’s reluctance, Zhang Ruyun quickly waved his hand and said, “If the elder is troubled, please set this matter aside. I merely spoke rashly in a moment of whimsy and hope you will not take offense.” Then he proceeded to pour wine and arrange dishes, never mentioning the matter again.

Just as the two stepped forward, a man dressed in black blocked their way, allowing no argument. The tray in their hands was snatched away.

The mistress herself had not forgotten. She still remembered that Xu Nian owed her one flogging.

Noticing the abnormality, Emadius suddenly rolled forward. Even as he tumbled on the ground, he heard a sharp “crack” from where he had just stood.

Dingdang had only just finished refreshing himself but, being short in stature, sat on the armrest of the folding chair. Hands and feet never still, he disturbed Zhang Ruyun, spilling his tea and knocking over his bowl. Seeing Zhang Ruyun remain unmoved, he plucked a lock of hair to tickle his ears and nose, trying to provoke a reaction.

It was already a remarkable feat for Zhang Ruyun to venture alone to a wedding. Yet now, the once-envied couple was about to turn enemies in an instant—a truly unheard-of spectacle of human affairs. How could the onlookers remain calm?

“Of course. When I first captured the peacocks, there were no fewer than ten thousand, but only nine survived. After their fusion, their power ranks among the top of all birds, not inferior to the bodies you previously condensed,” the Plague King laughed heartily.

Wang Jiayu called out to Fouska by name, then suddenly realized that Fouska’s status had changed drastically. He quickly added “General” to show respect.

Yang Yansi’s eyes turned red with fury as he witnessed his beloved horse’s leg severed by Yelü Yan’s blade. Angrily, he pursued with his spear.

“Qin Ma, get her out of here!” Shen Shi, seeing Feina, felt a headache coming and ordered her to be driven away.

Han Wanling suddenly sat up straight, frowning in thought, then decided he was wrong.

“I am leaving again and will no longer enter your world,” Ji Cui whispered, her eyes tinged with reluctance.

Xiaoyun shuddered. His left hand’s Azure Cloud Sword emitted a clear bright note, and a fierce aura suffused his body, intertwining with his profound understanding of martial arts, rivaling the aura of Lin Xian’er.

At that moment, someone threw their weapon to the ground. In the silence, the sharp clatter was piercing.

“Not my royal uncle...” Shangguan Yuxi nervously approached the man, coquettishly reaching to tug his sleeve. But meeting his cold gaze, she sulkily withdrew her hand.

The man’s voice was loud, resounding clearly in the quiet museum. Once he spoke, the entire museum fell silent instantly.

Before him lay a desolate village. Lin Fan’s gaze swept over the dilapidated houses, the pervasive air of desolation darkening his expression. There was not a single NPC to be found, meaning Lin Fan’s mission was impossible to complete.

If it were before, I would have been shocked to see Xu Jie, but after all I’ve been through, I’m no longer so surprised.

During the years at Huarui Company, Huang Lulu had received at least three to four million in kickbacks from President Wan.

“I’m truly sorry for causing you trouble,” Hefike said earnestly, full of sincere apology.
