Chapter Thirty: The Tide of Trends
"That wretch Jiang Daiyin! She did this on purpose!"
Wei Ranzhu finally grasped the situation. First, she had the Emperor come over, and then she arrived at her palace to snatch the person away. It was all a calculated move to let everyone see clearly that she, Jiang Daiyin, was the one held in the deepest affection by the Emperor. Wasn't Jiang Daiyin clearly coming here just to slap her in the face? Wei Ranzhu gripped the corner of her quilt tightly, her eyes filled with a sinister and terrifying glint. Since Jiang Daiyin had already torn off the mask of civility, she would no longer hold back either!
Li Tingyu laughed heartily. Though surrounded by thousands of soldiers, he moved as if he were strolling through a leisurely garden. His white armor was splattered with blood, and even his thick beard was matted with it, but he didn't even bother to shake it off. With a swing of his long spear, he roared, sweeping it in a circle to push back the tide of men closing in on him.
At this moment, Tang Seng could not bear to watch. He wanted to step forward to stop them, yet he did not know how, for this Medicine Buddha had just been intent on killing them moments ago.
Covering his mouth, Du Youjia let out a deep yawn—a yawn that he found quite amusing as he entertained himself. "Ah... ah..." He rubbed his sleepy eyes, sighing like a madman about how he was truly a genius, even yawning differently from others in a way that sounded quite pleasant.
"Are you saying this thing is used to monitor us?" I felt a sudden surge of resentment. They spoke of accepting us, yet monitored us behind our backs; this clearly meant they regarded us as enemies.
The back of Phoenix Mountain faced the sea, where there was a place similar to a dock called Guodian Port. Like a secular port, it was used for mooring ships, but it was not entirely the same, as the ships docked here were all magical artifacts.
The crowd was deafening; it had been a long time since I had seen fans support a concert with such passion. However, thinking of who they were, everything seemed normal again, for they were, after all, a special existence that had carried the youth of many for over a decade.
Prince Tucker watched Su Ye depart, then took out his Prince’s Seal to contact the other princes.
World-Breakers were the pinnacle of mortals. They belonged to the category of those who were "actively managed" and thus received similar attention, much like Gu Nan had previously.
The most likely scenario was that this was merely a coincidence—that they happened to arrive here while failing to track Geng Tian’s party, and by pure chance, the two sides had run into each other.
The Buddha Light Glazed Beads were a string of crystalline prayer beads that looked exceptionally beautiful. When Maitreya Buddha proposed these two innate spiritual treasures, Zhu Qi had already made up his mind: if these two artifacts could be brought back to the Imperial Garden, they could certainly be restored. However, since there was a mission to complete, now was not the time.
In Fengyang County, Dai Fugui, Caogong, and the others had already brought the corpse of Cheng Yuqi back.
Only after a disciple broke through to the Heaven Realm could they be led into this place by the Sect Master, a Shrine Elder, or the Left and Right Envoys to summon the soul of a god or demon.
Therefore, Baipuliu did not say much more to Shaxin and directly attacked, engaging him in a fierce battle.
At the moment the spear aura erupted from the tips of Yang Puguang’s fingers, he wondered if it was an illusion, but it seemed to faintly carry the sound of a dragon’s roar as it lunged toward the fist thrown by Chen Ting.
In his heart, Nie Tian telling him to leave this place was the very result he had hoped to see.
In military exercises, almost no one would take the initiative to attack such targets with no military value. Consequently, a field hospital that would require at least an reinforced company for protection during wartime would be lucky to have a single platoon stationed there during an exercise.
He switched directly to defense. If he had launched an attack at that moment, he would have inevitably exposed his own weaknesses, which would have given Li Chen an opportunity. Thus, he chose to remain unmoved to counter Li Chen’s Fish-Leaping Steps.
On the contrary, his senior brother raising an army at this time was clearly prepared to overthrow the rule of the Han Imperial Court and was set on restoring a peaceful and prosperous life to the common people of the world.
