Chapter 318: Complete the Mission First

"Understood!" The crowd instantly dispersed into action.

Shen Qiuyue squatted on the ground, using her sword to pry open the gear of the fallen martial artists, searching for any possible clues.

She spoke in a low voice.

"The equipment of these martial artists is more refined than that of ordinary wanderers; they might be backed by some major faction!"

Li Chang'an nodded, sliding a marking device into his backpack.

"It indeed doesn't resemble a typical martial artist stronghold.

We'll confirm it later, let's complete the mission first."

Jinge stared at the unfamiliar man in white before her, recalling his frivolous words and actions toward Murong Zhaoyun, which only stoked her fury, causing her to involuntarily pour a bit more strength into her grip.

"Sister. Except for you, no one enters or leaves this Cuiyu Pavilion freely all day long. I am afraid no one else has come. If you say it wasn't you, then who could it be?" Li Ji pressed on aggressively.

When one door closes, another naturally opens, and at this moment, the gates of darkness swung wide before them. Would they be the welcomed guests of the zombie princess, or would they become members of the zombie clan themselves? That would entirely depend on Princess Guangping's whim.

Murong Zhaoyun smiled faintly; such a free and easy grace was not something just anyone could possess, and it was truly admirable.

"Could it be that we have been traveling through the hollow belly of a massive tree all this time?" Shi Jieyu cried out in astonishment.

"Scram, stop spouting nonsense here." The grain shop owner grew frantic, directly brandishing a broom to drive the person away, yet this earth-shattering clamor had already startled the people nearby.

"Demon God, please grant me one more chance. I have always believed that the benevolent have no enemies in the martial world." Gudu Wuming still clung stubbornly to the precepts from when he first entered the world.

Pei Xue was left speechless; indeed, what could Lin Anran do, make a scene with Rong Jin right there? With so many wagging tongues, if word got out, people would at most call Rong Jin a rake, but who knew what kind of rumors would circulate about Lin Anran and Wu Shanshan.

Even so, it could not conceal Xiyue's extraordinary beauty; drenched as she was, she instead made Erqing feel as though she were a lotus freshly emerged from the water, evoking a profound tenderness in his heart.

Yuan Xingxuan wanted to say something more, but seeing that the occasion was clearly inappropriate, he ultimately swallowed his words.

Seeing Qing'er step out of the palace gates, Li Dequan finally drew a slip of paper from his bosom and said to Yinxiang, "The Emperor has a secret decree for the Thirteenth Prince." He then walked toward Qing'er, looking as if he wanted to say something, yet said nothing at all, before finally brushing past her.

After the King of Kui surrendered, he could be considered dutiful and conscientious, describing the affairs of each island to Yun Zhong, and finally mentioning that the major drug lord Daishan, whom he had killed, was actually an official dispatched by the Heavenly Court, which left Yun Zhong somewhat depressed.

In Wuzhou, Guangxi, within a crude and dilapidated official inn, Liu Songpo tossed and turned on his sickbed, unable to sleep; the journey from the capital to Lingnan spanned ten thousand miles, fraught with countless hardships and dangers, and upon reaching the borders of Guangxi, Liu Songpo had fallen bedridden.

Yun Zhong had certainly not expected such a situation to arise. Yet upon reflection, it was not surprising; a miracle of this magnitude was even more shocking than bringing the dead back to life. This commotion had started because of him, and naturally, it had to end by his hand as well.

At this hour, the crowd was not yet too large; the two of them selected a quiet spot by the window upstairs and sat down, starting to converse after ordering wine and dishes.

But Father was already old, and believing that Eldest Brother could not effectively prosper the Hai clan, he suddenly convened a family meeting. He cast Eldest Brother aside and passed the position of young master to me.

The only empire capable of running neck and neck with the Great Ming was the Chagatai Empire, which spanned Europe and Asia, inherited the legacy of the Timurid Empire, and established its capital at Alamuhan; their Great Khan was none other than Chu Jian, the sworn brother of Yuan Feng and the fifth among the Thirteen Keepers, though he had now changed his name to Khizr Khoja.

Hearing Huang Ting question him, Chu Gong cast a glance at him without speaking, and accelerated to overtake Huang Ting.

The fleet continued its eastward voyage and soon entered Penghu, where the entire harbor turned out to welcome them, greeting both Wu Ping and Zhang Yue'e.

Through bloodshot eyes, Yinzhen beheld that lofty dragon throne, an object of reverence for all the people under heaven.
