Volume One, Chapter 57: You Can't Catch Up to Me
"How can Great Xia find peace if someone like you is not eliminated?"
"Report back to your bureau within ten minutes and confess everything yourself."
"Make a reasonable judgment according to the regulations. If you dare to bend the law for personal gain—"
"When I lead my team over there, you know what the consequences will be."
Yang Lie commanded coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will report back immediately!"
Zhou Chuanwen did not dare to show the slightest disobedience, but at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Inspection Office personnel were really sent to handle this matter, not only would he lose his position, but likely everyone from top to bottom would be implicated. By then, countless people would wish for his death.
Now, allowing him to report it himself was tantamount to giving him a chance to survive.
Acquiring these three ancestral treasures would grant a continuous flow of blessed fortune. In other words, as long as the three ancestral treasures were not lost, the decline of fortune would never occur.
In fact, one had to admire the imagination of these defeated soldiers; Chen Ying's black-purple battle flag had indeed been soaked in blood.
Zheng Xi originally thought the Emperor knew everything? It turned out not to be the case at all. Therefore, he immediately detailed the entire process of Tuoba Shen coming to see him.
Compared to dying in battle, the Tibetan soldiers would rather die at the hands of the enemy than be frozen to death. Rulin Zanggu certainly was not going to give any ideological pep talks; anyone who could not figure things out or was unwilling to retreat received a severe lashing right on the spot.
By this time, it was already mid-morning. After being exposed to the sunlight for more than an hour, the outdoors had grown somewhat warmer. The Emperor stepped out of the hall, raised his head, squinted, and gazed far into the distance at the White Terrace and the Yongning Temple Pagoda on Yingzhou Island in Tianyuan Pond. After his eyes adjusted to the sunlight, he turned and walked toward the Taihua Hall. Zhang Mu and the Prince of Xianyang quickly followed behind him.
"Of course I know you've lost your memory, but even if you hadn't, you still wouldn't understand. Yes, I have no intention of explaining anything to you—the fewer truths you know, the better it actually is for me. I don't plan to answer any of your questions," the man laughed.
Word had spread, summed up in a single word to describe this mysterious young man who had sparked all kinds of speculation: "Impenetrable."
"Space has been sealed," Doris said, gazing at the empty clearing while brilliant blue light flickered within his dual blue pupils.
In the darkness came the sound of water droplets falling and then shattering instantly, like someone shaking wind chimes in a valley, sending ripples echoing in all directions and awakening slumbering time.
If not for the effective general meditation technique taught by the academy of Jia Yi, Fire Fox would have thought Jia Yi was lying to him.
Now that Ye'er and Qi'er had reconciled, and both children were very close to Qi'er, having the Empress look after the children would present no problems at all.
Seeing the Japanese make such a solemn vow, Zhou Tianwang was moved. Therefore, he led Ma Chao and a whole group to the appointment. Who could have expected that after Ma Chao's victory, hundreds of men in black would suddenly appear all around, every single one of them a Heavenly Tier expert, and several of them already approaching the realm of Earth Immortals? It was terrifyingly formidable.
The evacuation team's location was only a few kilometers away from the border. The trouble was the rugged mountain roads; coupled with the fact that many villagers were already injured or had mobility issues, their movement was extremely slow.
However, for someone like Victoria to invite someone to her room on the very first night they met, it was the first time Liang Ye had ever encountered such a thing.
Liang Ye could be considered snatching a moment of leisure amidst his busy schedule. After all, as the Director of Operations for the Strategic Defense Bureau, he had numerous matters to handle every day; yet now he was taking the time to accompany Xiao Xiao, which was absolute affection.
An Yichen laughed heartily and simultaneously notified Yan Rushen and Three-Fat. Since Three-Fat was the logistics captain after all, he had to make an appearance, even though he was merely holding everyone back.
Even Ji Chen could perceive the aloofness in Cheng Yi's tone just a moment ago. Their relationship would likely remain just like this from now on.
While the people of the Red Star, the Hongmen, and the Green Gang could still put up some resistance, they were completely outmatched when facing these bulky, massive men. These elites—chosen out of countless people—were naturally outrageously strong.
Not only had she figured out Ji Chen's situation, but she also had a firm decision in her mind, making Qin Yu's work morning feel quite relaxed and carefree.
In an instant, the water ghost Ruolan drifted over like a gust of wind, landing on the old tung tree in front of the robust man's door. Because the scent was right before her, her eyes instantly turned crimson, and she then drifted into the courtyard.
The farce finally came to an end. Tang Ling finally remembered that there was a much bigger trouble by her side. She turned her head to look at Fu Jingyan, struggling a few times, but she could not break free.
Moyan Fa smiled; these stall owners certainly knew how to talk, immediately making him feel much more comfortable.
For a workaholic like Lin Xi, men were dispensable, but she was already thirty years old. If she remained so rigid, wouldn't she have lived in vain?
Tens of thousands of purple flame pillars almost instantly engulfed Simalin's starship, yet because of the special high-dimensional energy, the stellar flames were greatly reduced in temperature.
The black mist pervading here was no less dense than the side Jiang Li was on. The mist churned, howling in the air with eerie whispers. A figure flashed through the black mist, walking with slow footsteps onto the ground covered in viscous substances.
Watching the battle in the sky plunge into a stalemate, Si Bailu withdrew his gaze and looked back at Baishu.
Their starships had basically accompanied them for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, and some of the captains had even survived for millions of years.
He was initially able to enter the Dao thanks to the White Deer Immortal Herb. Therefore, the White Deer Immortal Herb was equivalent to the initial bit of spirituality in his Golden Pill. If he were to slay the White Deer Monster and refine pills using its heart, it would help him break through the heart orifices of his Yang Spirit.
Si Bailu nodded, immediately unsealing a bottle and handing it to Qiqi, who was already starting to drool.
However, carrying Bai Xiuzhu off the horse was always somewhat inconvenient, and some friction and brushing against each other were inevitable.
Only then did Ye Ling realize that he had lost his composure inappropriately given the occasion. Just as he wanted to find an excuse to gloss it over, he turned his head and saw the shy, stirred expressions and smiles on both of their faces, and he instantly understood.
By this time, however, Li Tian had already assembled the troops drawn from various regions, reaching a total force of over one million. He had pushed comprehensively into the eastern region, but had only just crossed the border line. Beyond the border line lay the border fortress—this was the front line where he would engage in battle with Liu Tai.
Wen Yi offered a pale smile within his embrace. Being able to buy herself half a year's time was enough; looking at her current body, it was probably only about half a year left anyway.
Thousands of vanguard elite suicide troops rushed toward the moat carrying wooden planks, striving to lay down the planks and pave the way for the subsequent attacks of the main army. Only by doing this could they cross the moat, set up scaling ladders, and ascend to attack the city.
