Chapter 70: Palindrome Poem
There was only one reason: he had no choice but to launch a mutiny. Zhao He undoubtedly held a fatal threat and leverage over him. If Changsun Wuyang didn't help Zhao He, once Zhao He's rebellion failed, all his crimes would be exposed, and then he would still end up dead.
Zheng Niangzi followed behind her second elder sister, keeping her head slightly lowered and eyes on the ground. She didn't dare look at Tuoba Shen, afraid he might suddenly turn back and speak to her. After walking for a while without seeing any movement from Tuoba Shen, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at him, but felt a slight strange sensation.
The Undead Calamity had resurrected hundreds of millions of undead in Tianzhu (India). With such a large base, there were many undead with special abilities among them. Their assistance allowed the Undead Calamity's technological level to skyrocket. Experiments combining machinery and the undead were steadily advancing, significantly boosting their overall combat power.
This was the real reason Tang Yudie was willing to place a bet. If someone else were running the gambling game, even if she knew she'd surely profit, she wouldn't have participated.
That steward was very close to Lei Sheng. Kun Jian never expected the other side would launch a sneak attack, and they had even first lulled him with words. By the time the opponent made their move and he tried to rescue Lei Sheng, it was already too late.
Xiao Ze's sudden words not only surprised Li Biao and Jiang Shaoyou, but even Tuoba Shen found them abrupt. This was his first time in the Jiankang Palace. When he was in Pingcheng, he had long resided in the imperial palace and rarely even saw his maternal relatives. How could there be an old acquaintance of his mother's family here in Jiangzuo, a thousand li away?
Overall, this time Yin Tu not only failed to achieve its original goal, but also suffered losses and offended the Dragon Clan as well.
Liu Zhigu and Liu Zhongyuan exchanged a glance, said nothing, and without even looking at Zhao He beside them, turned and slowly walked away.
"Don't meddle with the Li family's affairs anymore. Sometimes the living suffer more than the dead. Let her enjoy the remaining days well. I imagine it will be a beauty she will never forget." A glint of ruthlessness flickered in his eyes.
Dongfang Shaoming had always prided himself on his intelligence. Even though he had speculated countless times about his master's possible identity and status, after seeing this information, he had to overturn all his previous conjectures and imaginations.
Shen Tuantuan only felt a headache. One wanted to give, the other didn't want to. Shen Tuantuan couldn't afford to offend either side.
Those people formed an encirclement with practiced discipline, gradually tightening the circle and forcing them into a huddle.
In their imagination, it should be a secret underground structure, surrounded by some plants or other cover, with a long road full of traps and occasionally dangerous mutant plants and beasts appearing. It should be more thrilling and exciting than a movie to be worthy of those supplies.
Mo Li frowned. With a flip of his large palm, a huge black banner appeared above everyone's head. Then, black qi continuously surged out from it. In an instant, it had filled the entire surroundings of the magic array.
"Go," Cheng Liping said. He Yong endured the pain in his leg and limped toward the latrine on the other side.
Liu Ziche's voice came: "You two still have the leisure to think about all this nonsense." She had nearly died until not even bone fragments remained.
With a flash of white light from the storage ring, the Heavenly Dao Wheel spun in midair, emitting gentle rays of purple light.
Old Man Ning felt that such a small amount of pork offal would be gone in no time after a couple of meals, and he was too embarrassed to just take it from Shen Tuantuan for free.
Murong Feilong was very puzzled. As the municipal public security bureau chief, who could be scheming against him behind his back? Could it be because the upcoming election for new leadership was about to happen, and his opponent was sabotaging him?
Yu Han had never seen such a scene. She immediately screamed in fright, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground. With a face as pale as death, she watched Leng Tian about to be pierced by the longsword. She regretted in her heart why she hadn't agreed to the Du Family's Third Young Master, causing this benefactor before her to lose his life in vain.
Only after leaving the courtyard did a cold smile appear on her face. Even if she knew she knew the situation, so what? If she wanted to be angry, let her be angry. Anyway, she had long stopped caring. Perhaps all these years she should have lived according to her own heart, instead of listening to her mother-in-law in everything, resulting in this mess now.
"Sister Chunyan! I originally wanted to come find you for a good talk, there... there's something I wanted to tell you!" Fusheng was at a loss. If he had known it would be like this, he really should have brought Song Weiwei along.
On hearing this, Gu Hao burst into loud laughter. By now his clothes were neatly arranged, and then he left the room.
After all the people had been arrested, the police got into the car, slammed the doors, sounded the siren, and drove off.
This trip to Yunnan had become imperative. Now everything was ready except the crucial element, and that crucial element was Xia Xinyan's consent.
And as the regional manager neared the end of his speech, he finally got to the main point: the final prize of this competition.
The two had completely different styles of handling matters, but they had the same effect. When they saw that the Martial Saint was about to strike, the Grandmasters guarding in front of the imperial palace hall were all so nervous that their palms were sweating. Fighting a Martial Saint was, for them, the greatest challenge of their lives.
Of course, there were exceptions, such as Jun Wunian's page boy, who was truly a high-level cultivator. But that was the only exception. Apart from the Supreme Venerable, who would have the leisure to find such a page boy? What difference was there from a disciple?
Yi Yang walked over to Terry's side. Neither of the two men in suits could manage much of a smile. Yi Yang's previously joyful mood instantly became heavy.
Once out of the house, Lin Yanniang wiped away the tears from her eyes. In front of An Jinyun, she, Lin Yanniang, could be afraid, could be weak.
Sure enough, she found a pool similar to a fountain, large enough and spacious enough, placed directly on the second floor—perfect to use as a bath pool.
"Qin Yuefeng! Qin Yuefeng!" I shouted frantically, as if the burning flames behind me were thousands of ghosts chasing after me.
He thought that someone chosen by the Supreme Venerable must be special. This Lady Yao, besides possessing the full five-element spiritual roots that amazed the entire cultivation world, actually had so many exceptional qualities blooming one after another. It was truly admirable.
It was a strange feeling, a feeling of conquest. There was no denying that the feeling of being at the pinnacle of power was really wonderful.
