Chapter 29: Undercurrents

Li Jing asked which master had come. Qin Fengyi replied, “They say he is Master Liaofa, the junior brother of Abbot Liaoyin. I do not really know him, but I imagine Mother does. She used to visit Qiling Temple to burn incense quite often.” She also mentioned the donations of rice, flour, vegetables, and other provisions.

Usually, when someone asked a question like that, it meant the interrogation was about to end. Yi Feishi was utterly surprised. Had His Majesty really decided to let him off just like that?

In fact, filming for the preview had already begun today. So the production team really had been deliberately making things difficult for them.

In truth, his guess had been right. The other party had not died because of it; he had merely grown even weaker.

Though her heart was filled with unease, she understood that Lu Huai, for all his coldness, would never harm an innocent person.

“Ninth Master, the situation is rather troublesome...” The voice on the other end of the phone trailed off, apparently afraid of Ninth Master Shen’s reproach.

Fortunately, the consolation eventually took effect, and the sharp pain deep within Xie Mao’s purple palace began to ease, little by little.

As they chatted and laughed, Lin Ke noticed that Meijiao had been captivated by Brother Nan’s imposing and forthright bearing. She hovered around him, coquettishly flaunting herself and clinging to him, but it was obvious that Brother Nan had no interest in her advances and was deliberately keeping his distance.

Because of the car trouble, Ye Jia柔’s friend Bai Min had also arrived late. She had originally intended to return to her room and tidy herself up first, but Ye Jiarou insisted that they go to the banquet hall, saying that she was afraid everyone would worry about them.

Besides, the young master was wearing nothing but a bath towel, while the young madam’s face was terribly flushed and her lips were swollen.

Members of the nature-spirit race could all see it clearly, but people of the other races were not necessarily able to.

At that moment, Qi Wu had just charged into the fog of war. His six senses were instantly cut off. Darkness swallowed his vision, and he could no longer hear the slightest sound, as though he had been cast into a world filled with utter silence.

Perhaps leaving the monkey here really was the best choice. After all, this was a remote mountain wilderness, rarely visited by people, so there was little chance of any incidents involving the creature drinking human blood.

In truth, the Eastern Clan Chief could easily have offered another proposal—for instance, to stop opposing the Li family from that day onward, or to lead the Eastern family into submission to the Li family.

A resounding dragon’s roar rang out, reverberating across the heavens as an ancient and boundless aura rippled through the air.

“Elder Lu, I must do this for the sake of my parents. Please help me write a letter of introduction.” Tao Qinyu spoke in a calm voice.

Though Mo Qingyan did not know why Shen Xiaoyao was willing to spend so much money on a stone, she assumed he had his reasons after giving it some thought. She asked no further questions and simply watched in silence.

Yet in less than three breaths, Yang Tian’s expression changed drastically. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and his entire body shuddered.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, she would never use such a pill to temporarily increase her strength.

Suddenly, just as Guisha was walking along perfectly normally, his body slipped into space and vanished without warning. When he reappeared, he was actually clutching a spherical spirit beast in his hand.

He coughed once more. This time, the sound was far louder than before, almost as though he had been shouting at the top of his lungs.

With a crisp crack, even the Ice Dragon, a divine-level boss, suffered a massive wound more than a meter long where Wu Jie’s sword struck. The gash was so deep that bone was nearly visible.

This elevated platform did indeed resemble an international fighting ring in certain respects. The difference was that it was larger, and nothing had been laid across the ground. The floor and the tops of the pillars had been left completely bare. There was only one purpose behind this design: to magnify the bloody spectacle, awaken the violence in people’s blood, and make their passions surge.

In truth, Ye Yinyin knew perfectly well that she had no way to save the medicinal garden, nor any way to restore the immortal rice paddies. Everything depended on Xiao Nu. Without Xiao Nu, it was all an illusion.

Mu Yiyi was startled at first. Then she saw the old River King’s expression turn extremely ugly. With that, she walked over to him and bowed deferentially.

There were even more people outside than before. The student selling plum blossoms was still there, but Jian Cangwu was nowhere to be seen.

Although the vampires whose souls he had bombarded would remain extremely weak for a short time, Allen would replenish them afterward with a vast amount of profound yin energy. Two or three days would be enough for them to recover most of their strength. With Meoris and Allen providing support at their side, preserving their lives during the coming battle should not be a problem.

Indeed. According to Chen Xing, Murong Feng, and the others, all they wanted was for Chen Yu to bide his time at the police station. As long as he had a transitional period, Chen Yu would have a chance to govern a region. Otherwise, people would inevitably twist the story and speak ill of him.

“Qingqing will find out sooner or later, and an investigation is not something that reaches a conclusion in a day or two.” Jiang Ru believed that the truth could not be concealed for long.

“That’s wonderful! I’ve wanted to taste the valley’s plum wine for ages! I’ll go with you! I love you to death, Big Sister!” Prince Maxim Gao Xiong leaped from his seat and embraced his sister.

He could clearly sense that the damage inflicted on him by light-element spiritual energy was incomparably severe.

“The quality of this staff is truly awful. It cracked after breaking just one divine art!” Nie Yu tossed aside the half of the staff in his hand and sighed almost imperceptibly. He now understood somewhat why Ye Fan preferred to settle battles with his fists. One punch could shatter ten thousand techniques—it truly was simple and decisive.

When the old man entered, Feng Lingtian distinctly felt the temperature of the air drop by several degrees.

A look of astonishment had only just appeared on the Golden Lion’s face when a sudden blaze of light illuminated and reddened his entire countenance.

Cheng Chi, the chairman of Starway Corporation, delivered the final summary. On the surface, he wore a warm and patient smile for everyone, but inwardly, he had already decided to swallow Huang Bin’s Yuanhe.
