Volume One, Chapter 80: Turning the Tables—Luring the King of Wudu into the Trap!

Zhang Anshi, following Qin Bao’s orders, kicked Li Yan hard in the chest, sending him sprawling to the ground. The soldiers nearby rushed forward and restrained Li Yan.

“Let go of me, let go!” Li Yan struggled fiercely, shouting, “Zhang Anshi, you treacherous cur, you deserve to die!”

No matter how much Li Yan struggled and cursed, it was futile. Seeing his outburst, the soldiers landed two heavy punches on him, and Li Yan finally fell silent.

A sudden voice shattered the triple barrier array that Raphael had set, its resounding clarity spreading through the entire void. The deafening roar of a dragon echoed in terror.

Just as Chu Tianyi took a step toward Ji Shuyu, his arm was suddenly seized and, with a forceful tug, he was pulled back.

The management had thousands in its ranks, and the number of subordinates was beyond count. The Tower of Myriad Worlds had reentered a period of peace and steady development.

After withstanding another wave of attacks, Chen Mo instructed Old Wan to unleash a dozen colossal divine beasts, sending them to assault Gao Gezi and his companions.

Within the surging murderous intent, a powerful force of restraint burst forth, locking onto Chen Yi’s body. The violent energy relentlessly corroded him, causing even his ability to traverse space to fail.

Li Si agreed to Zhuge Liang’s suggestion and led him to see the First Emperor. Yet he never expected Zhuge Liang would dare to go alone.

“Rest assured, Chief Zhao. The three of us brothers will do our utmost. Just don’t forget your promise to us!” At this moment, the eldest of the Feng brothers, Feng Tiancheng, spoke to Zhao Haocang with a smile.

“Now that these Taoists have arrived, there must be masters from the Buddhist sects as well,” Chen Feiyun muttered to himself.

All right then, I’m supposed to protect his life? Honestly, I’d like to say the same thing to this ancestor of mine. When the time comes to deal with that fortune-teller, I hope she’ll give me a hand.

Though she hadn’t spoken or made contact, Ji Shuyu could sense a wave of pure disdain—she was being inexplicably disliked by a strange old lady.

Ouyang discussed many other family matters with them. This meeting would not end quickly, for much had transpired during Ouyang’s sojourn at the Divine Bagua Palace. Though Kunshen had handled many affairs, Ouyang still needed to be informed.

As a chosen talent, he resorted to the most shameful tactic—threatening his opponent with his connections. Many employed such means, but Wang Gufeng had always disdained them. Yet today, to survive, he too was forced down this path.

What Zhang Bei needed most now was stable development. Once he grew strong enough, he would no longer need to rely on anyone; he would become his own greatest support.

If there were profits, the gains would be double the original. Of course, any losses would be equally amplified.

“The human heart is the way of heaven!” Never before had Zhang Baoyu understood these words as clearly as he did now.

Ordinarily, Ning Hongxuan’s promotion to executive vice mayor would have been unusually rapid—yet to everyone’s surprise, he was suddenly made acting mayor.

Kumārajīva’s powers far surpassed his own at that time; should he fall into madness, the danger would multiply, and saving himself would be nearly impossible. What’s more, he had already lost his mind, and there was no longer time to dissipate his power.

Ye Fan neither confirmed nor denied the suggestion, showing no tact whatsoever. Chu Fengyun merely shrugged. Ye Fan was clearly well acquainted with him, and immediately signed the contract together with Ouyang Xiu.

Due to pressing military matters, Zhang Ke was unable to travel to Xifu County at the time set by Wei Zhongguo, arriving instead three days late.

Feng Le was put in an awkward position by Mu Lu’s remarks. He knew the words were hard to respond to, yet he had no choice but to do so. The taste of being caught between a rock and a hard place was indeed unpleasant—he never imagined that a young girl like Mu Lu would force him into such a predicament.
