Volume 1 Chapter 57 Boys Must Not Bully Girls

Helping with the publicity is quite easy; given the Mercenary Guild's vast network of connections, spreading the word would take no more than a few words. At most, we could contact the branches in other cities and post a notice there, and that level of publicity would be more than enough.

The man's objective was obvious: to instigate turmoil in Shanghai. According to Lu Huai's speculation, the person manipulating everything behind the scenes was none other than Mo Qinghan.

"It is the Duchess of Cheng'en. It is said that due to overwhelming grief, an old illness flared up, and she took a turn for the worse right after returning from the palace." Li Shun heavily emphasized the two words "the palace."

He dared to let his guards completely disarm and submit precisely because this was the capital of the Xie Dynasty, the domain of the House of Xie.

The bandits who charged in first were the strongest members of the gang, specifically tasked with breaking through defenses. Therefore, facing the caravan guards' defensive line, they showed no nervousness whatsoever. Forming a simple offensive array, they immediately clashed with the caravan guards.

Mengzhu ran to the door, and the inner door suddenly flew open. Ji Qing's hair was disheveled as he fastened his shirt buttons, while Jasmine was also in disarray, weeping softly and clutching the hem of Ji Qing's garment, refusing to let go.

Chen Jian had always been reticent, but this time, because the matter involved Xue Tingwan, he showed such rare agitation. He knew Tingwan certainly could not be as calm on the surface as he appeared; it was merely out of forbearance.

Hearing this, the melon-seeded-faced woman grew even more furious. She lunged forward, stretching out her claws to grab Zhao'er's hair.

Qin Fengyi praised him profusely, taking General Feng's hand and saying to Zhang Yan, "When I came to Nanyi, I don't know how many people in the capital mocked me for getting such a poor fiefdom. If you ask me, gaining General Feng alone here in Nanyi surpasses any fine fiefdom in this world!" His praise made General Feng blush.

...Right now, the entire capital's upper circles knew that the third-generation direct-line genius of the Chang family had taken a mysterious Master Xie as his teacher. Imperceptibly, this added yet another layer of dazzling, striking gold to Xie Mao's background.

However, whether because none of them had a good strategy or because they were unwilling to offer counsel to Lu Junyi, Lu Junyi swept his gaze around, causing many chieftains to lower their heads in silence, and not a single person spoke another word.

Emperor Immortal Fenglin led a group of six through the doors. Li Muwan had followed Wang Lin in her early years and was widely traveled with extraordinary discernment. At a glance, she could tell that the two men and four demons who had just entered were absolute veterans of life and death struggles, and a chill involuntarily rose in her heart.

Ye Shanhe froze for a moment, then silently withdrew the hand that had been tightly grasping hers, his head drooping like a withered plant.

Chai Jin and Yan Qing had previously found that voice somewhat familiar, and now hearing those words, they finally realized that the Emperor of Zhao had arrived here.

This was the only explanation Xu Rou could think of, because she simply could not believe that anyone in modern society could possess such formidable abilities.

That was a genuine warship, bound to be equipped with anti-aircraft weaponry. Although the Falcon 7X was expensive, it stood completely defenseless before it.

A faint bloody aura emanated from Chu Qing'er's body. Amidst the howling wind, her flowing hair scattered as her delicate hand gripped Ye Tian's arm. At that instant, every disciple of the Xingluo Empire felt as though they were facing the end of the world, trembling from head to toe.

He also found it very strange; that great demon king had not been far from him, yet he had acted like a blind man, failing to discover him altogether.

They all knew the news of the Madam's disappearance, and were currently working overtime to search for her. Now that there was suddenly a faint clue, it could not be pinpointed.

Ye Tian's gaze was indifferent. Coldly watching the fleeing disciples of Wind and Cloud, he did not send anyone in pursuit. He vaguely sensed something was amiss; in the battles over the past few days, it seemed they had not encountered the strongest Purple Nether Empire and Heavenly Dragon Empire.

"In that case, demonic assassins really have sneaked in?" Ye Xiu asked with slight surprise, a stirring of unease rising in his heart as he began to worry about the safety of the Grandmaster of Sword Realm and Zhongyue.

"Oh, trust me on this, I'm never wrong! Who am I? I'm Zhou Xuanxuan's dearest and most intimate cousin! How could I not know who she has in her heart and whom she fancies?" Zhou Yazheng said with a triumphant smile and a proud expression.

High in the void, two massive attacks collided fiercely, as if they could obliterate everything in sight.

"Yes, Master." The Warrior Spirit acknowledged the command, returning through the mirror-like portal, and vanished in a flash of light.

That was indeed the case. A succession of combat methods flashed through Zhang Tianheng's mind: using incineration to deal with this ancient giant electric eel was the best approach, making it the cleanest and most decisive method.

One must know that those capable of holding the Portraits of Emperors were peerless emperors, and the trials they left behind were naturally far from simple; even practitioners at the Great Emperor level found them difficult to pass.

Initially, wherever it arrived, the battle-hardened army struck terror into the hearts of the Xuzhou guards who had long tasted peace, rendering the army completely invincible.

Many supreme classics of various sects, many lost martial arts techniques, and even ancient heavenly-grade martial arts techniques were casually strewn about on the ground.

"I refuse to believe that even by burning my last ten spirit jades, I still cannot catch up to you!" Blood continually spilled from Di Fan's mouth, his eyes split with rage. Burning away his very last spirit jades and playing his final trump card, he desperately pursued Ling Tian.

Nara Shikamaru thought for a moment, recalling that when Chen Jin had hunted down Guimaru Child, he had not shown the slightest bit of mercy.

The two clones looked at each other in dismay upon hearing this, then simultaneously cupped one hand over their chests while supporting their chins with the other, sinking into deep, profound thought.

Because Fugaku's eyes had been gouged out, the skin of both his eyelids was sunken inward, making him look rather eerie.

Xi Nanlin remained unresponsive for a long time. Although she had already prepared herself to sanction Zhao Renyi, she had not expected the other party to praise her so lavishly.
