Volume One, Chapter 113: Reaching an Agreement

"Go with him. We're here; nothing will happen," Zhao Weijun said, realizing the gravity of the situation and urging them to comply.

"Alright," Montage finally nodded in agreement.

"No time to waste. Let's leave now."

The three stood by the corridor window, which was empty at the moment. The sunlight behind them still carried a faint warmth. He received two more affirmative nods.

Xia Mu could sense that the blood demon’s physical body was not strong—actually weaker than his own—and it hadn’t even used any spiritual techniques. Yet, with every heartbeat of the blood demon, the power it unleashed was enough to easily annihilate him.

It was like a thunderclap exploding beside his ears. Even the literal meaning of the words left Jiu’er incredulous, shaking her head quickly.

Since Uncle Yang had already decided that his son must undergo detoxification, the next question was how to accomplish it. None of them knew, so they had to rely on Xiao Yue.

Her eyes shone with a strange light—a spirit of unyielding determination born deep within her bones.

They drove the car back to the Propaganda Department. Neither of them got out; instead, they directly called Zhao Songlin and his sister downstairs, handed the money over to the pharmaceutical company, and locked it in a safe.

Yang Changfu gave a slight nod and followed her to the village entrance. Zhou Zhen’s carriage and servants were waiting there. Since Yang Changfu was to accompany her back to town, naturally, he would follow her.

It was already past noon. She should have eaten lunch by now. Although she carried bread in her pocket, she hadn’t eaten it in the car. She thought, since they were about to get off, it would be better to eat at a restaurant in the service area than to eat bread in the vehicle.

Upon seeing the Golden Crowned Sea Dragon appear, the allied forces’ camp responded immediately. The white-haired elder, accompanied by Xia Youlan, rose into the air to greet it.

He had decided not to conduct mid-level visits this year. He wanted the Broadcast Bureau to become a transparent world, where everything was out in the open. Distribution might not be fair, and treatment might not be equal, but everything had to be justified. The ultimate goal was work and the cause of news propaganda.

“Ah Mi Da Ye, you overslept this morning and are completely out of it,” the chubby monk muttered grumpily as he walked over.

Even the Guli officials, considering their tribe’s comparatively weaker strength, sought to avoid conflict with the Pugu tribe. After negotiations, the two tribes agreed that the prime pasture between the Wanshui and Wananshui rivers would belong to the Pugu tribe, while the Guli would hold all the large Shuwei territories north of the Wananshui River.

Seeing Tian Miao’s somewhat simple attire, Li Yang pondered quietly, gradually linking details together as if he had come to a realization.

Wealth is indeed an external possession, but those who truly regard it as worthless are exceedingly rare.

At that very moment, the mercenary corps’ emblem suddenly reacted. With a tremor, the voice of Cai Xing rang out from within.

If one entered the Spirit Vessel, they would see that the heads of all the people from the Ancient Tianhong Kingdom had exploded like watermelons.

In this environment, Kui Prefecture’s army units fully utilized their diversity. During a charge, the bird-gunmen took the lead, followed by the sword-and-shield soldiers—one hand holding a shield, the other an arbalest, with a long blade hanging from their waist—and behind them, the long spearmen brandished white pole scythes.

With the second wave of feudal lords enfeoffed, the Xia Kingdom suddenly possessed thirty-four vassal states across the Kunlun Continent. With these states established, the Haotian Shangdi Sect, formerly confined to Xia’s borders, almost instantly occupied the entire Kunlun Continent.

Before he could speak, Li Dingguo blocked him with a sharp look, signaling him not to act rashly. The strong figure stood firmly in front of Liu Yun, expressionless as he stared at Li Yuanyin.
