30. The Thirtieth Day—I Never Thought...

At present, Farier could mobilize only the Eighth and Tenth Chosen Ones. The Tenth Seat, Longge, was a support specialist and therefore did not need to be considered. Farier consequently ordered his personal guards to summon Charlemagne, the Eighth Seat.

Solitary Longsorrow continued retreating, flicking his hand as he did so. A silver needle shot forth. Li Zhichen swept up with his long sword and snapped it in two. The moment the needle broke, a mass of green mist erupted from it and spread outward.

Xia Haoran released his spiritual sense and swept the area. Yes—the target this time was inside. He gave an eerie smile and strode toward the door.

Zhao Zixian possessed a supernatural ability. He used the true energy of earth to transform his own heart, preventing the power of the Love Gu from ending his life. His overwhelming will to survive was also conveyed to Hongchou without his realizing it, helping her struggle back from the brink of death and preserve her life.

Tears streamed from Shangguan Yun’s eyes like a spring. He held Ning Jiu’er tightly against his chest, then threw back his head and let out a long howl. His voice was filled with desolation and pain, enough to break the hearts of all who heard it.

Jiaotong took two steps forward, opened his mouth, and roared, “You filthy hag! I’ve come for you, so get out here! You toyed with me last time, but this time I’m taking you back to be my bandit queen!”

Jiaotong turned, and a sheet of black mist billowed forth. He transformed into his true form, his enormous flood-dragon head hissing as his forked tongue flickered.

“Brother Xiao, wait!”

Lingxiaozi thrust out his sword. Though he had moved later, he arrived first; amid the shriek of splitting air, he knocked the Black Iron Sword aside in an instant. The legendary Sky-Piercing Sword truly lived up to its reputation.

“So far, we have found no malicious mass withdrawals from any other banks. However, one development over the past two days deserves our attention, and it is precisely what concerns me.” David had come for this very issue.

Yet no one knew that on September 22, the Iran-Iraq War would erupt—a bottomless abyss for those selling short, and a single step into heaven for those buying long.

The severed head screamed several times before vanishing into the sea of blood. Li Zhichen frowned deeply, watched the blood sea for a while, and then continued forward.

Sarah, who possessed higher command authority, stepped in just in time. Under her intervention, the White Swan adjusted its course in time.

One important reason the Republican Army dared to do this was that, after a period of trial production and through their tireless covert efforts, they had successfully introduced a great deal of sociological knowledge to the cloned laborers in the factories.

Standing atop Tyre’s sea wall, Adil gazed southward, as though he could see the distant Port of Acre. With his hands on his hips, he savored the cool sea breeze and breathed in the fresh, salty air, feeling immensely satisfied.

Although Bohemond disliked Reynald, his stepfather, even less did he wish to become too deeply embroiled in the internal struggles of Jerusalem. Thus, after Jerusalem fell and he once again saw the arrogant yet destitute Lord Maimon, it was difficult to say whether the duke did not feel the faintest flicker of secret delight.

Damn it, had this central leadership of the Beggars’ Sect, built around Xiao Feng, really taken shape just like that? Bi Jing wondered inwardly. Was there no scheming at all, no struggle over who would gain the upper hand?

At Ditchi’s current rate of progress, it would take at least another two weeks to eliminate 7259 completely and without leaving any hidden consequences. The Fat Man’s appearance meant that its plan had already failed. With no other choice, Ditchi used the data it had obtained during 7259’s period of chaos to modify its own holographic projection.

The seconds passed one by one. In that oppressive atmosphere, everyone’s hearts seemed to miss half a beat.

Only then did Tang Shuang notice that his shoulder was pressed against Lu Yingying’s. He quietly increased the distance between them by a little. The young woman was dazzling today, and he feared being burned.

The phrase suddenly cut through Rake’s mind and activated a certain switch, reminding him of a film he had seen in his previous life.

After Qian Gang left, the inside of the vehicle fell silent. Yang Ming leaned against the wall, thoughts flickering through his mind.

To his surprise, Xingchen merely cupped his hands and smiled amiably at him. Then he turned around and once again began walking step by step along the mountain path, his movements entirely free of hesitation or wasted motion.

“Whew, whew…”

The red-robed youth drew a deep breath and exhaled. The breath he released transformed into a gale that swept toward the Blackwater River, whose surface had remained utterly still.

Woooo, woooo—the wind sobbed mournfully, sounding almost like countless infants crying.

He roared furiously, “Who told you I was going to give up? They are our comrades, our companions. No matter how far they are, I will keep searching for them.”

“What’s the matter? If you take one sip of my blood, I’ll ignore you forever once we get out.”

Lingdang could no longer move, but she transmitted the words one by one.

I was quite pleased. At this rate, I would become a Weibo celebrity sooner or later and start making money from advertisements.

Although he had a gentle temperament and disliked fighting with others, the repeated provocations of the Lion Claw Sect made it impossible for him to let them treat him as a pushover.

I could not be bothered with her anymore, lest she curse me again. I guessed her foot would not hurt so badly tomorrow, and she would be able to walk on her own.

Zhang Lihua had always wanted to learn more about the situation. This was truly a case of searching everywhere in vain, only to find what she needed without effort. She had never expected the innkeeper to bring it up of his own accord, so she casually asked a few more questions. The innkeeper, in turn, told her everything he knew.

This time, however, the Calabash Child was sensible enough not to open his mouth and ask for a drink. Instead, he voluntarily walked away. If he could not see it, he would not think about drinking the morning dew.

“It is not a matter of whether I will go—I am going immediately! I’m telling you, once it is over, you will regret it. That is all I can say!”

With that, Golden Sundial had already vanished without a trace.

“It’s fine. Once you vomit a few times, you get used to it. Damn it, this is supposed to be a road? Anyone traveling along something like this would throw up.”

As Lei spoke, he patted Longze Meiji’s back and cursed while looking toward the convoy behind them.

That was not the point. The point was the barrage of comments overlaid on the screenshot. Wenren Xue glanced at it only once before frowning.

They did not like him, and he did not like them. It was all out in the open, with no need for concealment.

Hongxiu had intended to volunteer to go inside, but just as she was about to speak, Beiling Tuo issued the order first.

There was no helping it. Their previous clothes had been far too shabby. Walking through the streets in them had drawn an astonishing number of glances. Besides, she was not the sort of person who would be stingy with her subordinates or treat them harshly.

The old man of the Bai family had never imagined that Qitian was a member of the Inspection Bureau. Trembling with fear, he said, “All right. I did not know Qitian’s identity…”

I felt with absolute certainty that he was not afraid of the Inspection Bureau at all. At the Junle Grand Hotel, I could clearly sense that he truly intended to kill me—and without the slightest hesitation.

Although Mother had told her not to approach Feng Youyou and her stepmother, she felt that merely sitting together for a meal should not count as approaching them, should it?

More than a hundred cloaked figures bowed in unison and acknowledged the order. With a flicker of their forms, they transformed into countless phantom images, darted into the forest, and vanished from sight.
