Volume 1, Chapter 103: The Crown Prince Comes to Visit

Qin Bao understood the cause of Qin Sheng’s death, yet he had no intention of letting the matter rest. Had Qin Sheng died of natural causes, he might have been willing to overlook it, provided that the Wu family and Qin Youde did not provoke him further.

Selinda’s smile froze on her face. She scrutinized Li Jia with suspicion, finding nothing amiss other than the greasy white clothes and the tall white hat the man wore.

More than half a year had passed since the fall of the Green Peak Sect. Life had to go on, and after the initial tension subsided, Yan City returned to its former prosperity.

"What do you plan to do next?" Han Bingqin asked Li Tianfeng at that moment.

Returning to his country in June 1868, he assumed the post of Foreign Affairs Official in July, and the following year, he became an official representative at the Parliament. However, he faced severe criticism for proposing the abolition of the samurai’s right to carry swords.

Though this youth named Xiao Yi appeared harmless and quite sincere, he acted with remarkable decisiveness and left no loose ends.

"Then... can I still go back?" Li Tianfeng asked, his voice filled with uncertainty. This was his primary concern. If he were unable to return, a wave of terror washed over him; the thought of never seeing those people again was more painful than death itself.

"The 'Stellar Contemplations'—you are actually from the Temple of Wisdom." Rhodes approached slowly, holding a long sword, his body beginning to radiate the shimmering aura of battle energy. Lorenzo’s true strength far exceeded his estimations.

Xu Miao stared at the hand suspended in the air, but the large palm did not descend. Finally, Master Qin Wu slowly lowered it. Xu Miao let out a cold snort, and taking advantage of his moment of dejection, she pulled her wrist back and began to rub it gently with her other hand.

Ultimately, if a household had the capability, the manpower, and the skill, the tofu business was truly a high-profit endeavor. That was the very reason she had wanted to make tofu in the first place.

In an instant, Katarina opened her eyes. The power of nascent battle energy erupted from her body and surged into her dagger. Lorenzo’s Wind Shield shattered before the awakened wind-attribute battle energy. The dagger, glowing with a green light, sliced through the wind barrier and thrust directly toward Lorenzo’s heart.

The night passed without incident, though dinner portions were reduced by fifty percent, and breakfast the next day was cut by twenty-five percent.

The superhuman mercenaries hired at a high price by Yang Kailong had been cleanly transformed into corpses under the flashing blades.

The sword was three feet three inches long, thin as a willow leaf, and lacked a guard. Its entire body was a dull yellow, resembling an iron bar left to rust in a dark corner.

Lin Yang reached out and snatched the Stone of Three Lives that had erupted from the Gate of Eternal Life. Although Fang Han coveted it as well, the ease with which Lin Yang had suppressed Hua Tiandu made it clear that he was no match for him yet.

The polluted water elements continued to coalesce; instead of acting individually, they gathered together.

Bi Jiuquan knew all too well what would happen if Mu Yunfeng managed to get close, as the four Star Lord experts had just served as a grim example.

Ange walked out of the imperial tent and handed the Demon Spirit Seed and the Golden Dragon Scale to Luyi. "This journey to the Underworld Capital is extremely perilous," she instructed. "Since Zhongyuan is dead, the Demon Clan will certainly make a move to secure this Demon Spirit Seed, which they are desperate to possess."

"Very well, Kalluto, follow him and train hard. You can return whenever you wish; I will explain things to Mom and Dad." With that, Illumi waved his hand, hoisted Killua onto his back, and turned to leave.
