Chapter 55: Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Greets You, Sir

Everyone agreed with Liu Bang's idea. While they indeed held supreme positions in the Han Dynasty and were looked up to by thousands, the contributions Lu Xuan made to the dynasty were well worth a deep, formal bow from them.

To reiterate, not only could they offer Lu Xuan no rewards, but they also intended to kill him, which was already utterly heartless and unrighteous.

"Father, my original thought remains unchanged. Can we spare Lu Xuan's life?" Liu Ying asked.

Lü雉 and Lady Bo exchanged glances and remained silent.

Furthermore, the legendary close-combat moves relied entirely on slashes and sweeps from the Judgment Staff and the Blade of Fate, with no other techniques involved. Whether it was Half-Moon Slash, Assassination Sword Technique, Hell Fire,- Sky-Slicing Sword, or Sunset Sword Technique, they were all straightforward slashes and sweeps.

Additionally, these tight leather garments could essentially be used as undergarments. They were extremely form-fitting, and an extra layer of leather armor could be worn over them when needed.

Jiang Han looked down and discovered that the lake water was actually blue, with many ice blocks floating upon its surface.

Fortunately, the target of the attack was Qin Yu; otherwise, simply bleeding would have been enough to drain a person's life away. The coordination of the four attacks was seamless, as if following some underlying pattern, though it felt slightly incomplete, bearing a trace of a flaw.

Although he did not care much about his appearance, Stephen had no desire to turn into that grotesque monster.

Bu Qianchen once again plucked the strings of the Demonic Heart Tune, filling the air with deafening demonic sounds that abruptly slowed Ye Feng's movements. Seeing his chance, Fang Renzheng instantly condensed the sea of fire into a massive fireball, engulfing Ye Feng within it. Just when everyone thought Ye Feng was doomed, he burst out of the fireball, wielding his long spear.

Led by a Primordial Spirit cultivator, who served as their supreme commander, whatever the leader said went. However, that group of foreigners was obviously not so easy to reason with.

This reasoning gained the full approval of everyone present, and the martial artists said nothing further.

However, these students just stood at the doorway without making any move, nor did they come down to take a seat. Something unusual must have happened.

"What? Has he lost his mind out of fright? With his level of strength, he dares to charge directly at the blade radiance? Isn't that seeking death?" Clearly, Wang Jie's action completely shocked the onlookers.

Wu Qimeng had no idea why her sister had summoned her to the imperial palace today, assuming it was merely a ritualistic audience with the Empress Dowager. Although she saw Li Ye and then heard the words of the Empress Dowager, sensing that something was about to happen, she still had not anticipated this level of developments.

"Yes, Mother." Lu Qingyi obediently lowered her head to finish her meal. After eating, she feigned composure and left. As soon as she stepped out of the front hall door, she lifted her skirt and ran back.

The officials in the hall knew that Zhang Xuan was currently in a fit of rage; who would dare to answer him? Fearing they would run afoul of his bad temper, they hurriedly withdrew from the hall to find someone to discuss methods of extorting wealth.

Jing Xiang, seeing that both Li Ye and Amy were requesting the smallpox vaccine, had no choice but to brace himself and say, "Since Prefect Li is borrowing the smallpox vaccine, count me in as well."

The moment the white paper touched the flame, it acted like dry tinder meeting a blazing fire, turning into flying ash all over the sky in the blink of an eye. The ashes drifted haphazardly like countless black butterflies, yet not a single flake fell to the ground.

Liao Shishan then went over to tease Gu Han, tossing him up into the air as well, filling the room with the lovely laughter of children.

However, no matter how furious and exasperated Tao Bei became, what was done was done. He could only comfort himself: anyway, the situation had already reached this point, and it could not possibly get any worse. How much worse could it possibly get?

Seeing Yu Qing approaching, Yu Kai smiled at her—a clean and warm smile—making Yu Qing, who had remained indifferent until just a moment ago, suddenly feel a wave of sorrow.

On the way to the imperial palace, Shen Xiao accompanied Wenren Ya inside a carriage, while Yuan Nanfei, with Jianjian, rode horses alongside them. They were followed by a dozen guards in front and behind—though not numerous, their morale and appearance were exceptional.
