Chapter 94: Escape from the Capital

News of it left Li Xueyang stunned and grief-stricken.
“Has my senior brother... really passed away?” she asked in a trembling voice.
Lin Yu nodded, then once more confirmed the old man’s death with her.
Only after hearing it confirmed again did Li Xueyang finally believe that she and...

Xuexian raised her beautiful brows, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. “Tell me, why are you so certain that Li Qingfeng is not dead?”

Lin Chen very much wanted to uncover the hidden truth behind everything that had happened, but regrettably, he simply could not make sense of it, because he had no such opportunity.

Above Li Qingfeng’s body, a black seal of the Six Paths of Reincarnation also took shape, inscribed with the Human Path, Heavenly Path, Demon Path, Immortal Path, Devil Path, and Beast Path.

The next instant, Han Meng’s figure vanished. It was an abrupt disappearance, and when he appeared again, he was already kneeling before Qin Li in the Xuaner Bar.

The map was drawn to a very large scale. At a glance, the distance looked no more than a few centimeters, but if one were to measure it by foot, it would take at least several dozen kilometers.

A vast silver moon formed around Li Qingfeng’s body. Of course, this moon was not white, but the fiery red of flames. Within that crimson blaze lay tremendous energy, blocking the attacks of the three men.

The matter had been said that far, and before so many senior figures of the martial world besides, with Ma Yitian being such a simple, kind-hearted girl, and sharing the same surname as him besides, with some distant family tie to boot, Ma Chengfeng could hardly refuse. He could only agree.

Nora was exasperated, yet for a moment she truly could not refute him, because she had never once argued her way to victory against Rainfeil.

In Thor Yuan’s belly it was as though muffled thunder were rolling, making his whole body tremble with agony. Even with the strength of a stellar-core realm cultivator, he now felt weariness.

In the end, it was the devil who yielded. Though somewhat unwilling, if he failed to honor the contract, the one who would suffer in the end would still be himself.

“Craig, I think that was the only thing you said right today.” Larry Bird, now already on his feet, applauded Meng Xu’s outstanding performance while replying to Craig Hodges.

“Wang Hai, so you really are a spy!” Deng Yuanjue stared at Wang Hai and forced those words out through clenched teeth.

As the ball slipped through under Rick Fox’s defense, Meng Xu seized the moment and squeezed through the gap between Robert Horry and Rick Fox. After breaking through their blockade, only Shaquille O’Neal and the basket remained before him.

He also wanted grain and forage, after all; war is fought on logistics. There had not been much stockpiled beyond the frontier, and he could not possibly ask for those things on his own—otherwise would he not be telling Fusu that he intended to rebel?

A thunderous roar shook heaven and earth, and even the two exalted beings looking down from the high skies were struck with alarm. In their eyes, the entire fortress of Tongsha suddenly seemed to become a furnace. Without the slightest warning or prelude, the whole stronghold was transformed into a sea of fire and reduced to ruins within it.

Thus, in the workings of the great machine, it was only natural that the space within that grain-of-mustard stone was occasionally stirred, causing a momentary fluctuation, so that a jar of stored wine within that boundless space would topple and, along the threadlike seam opened by the disturbance, seep away outside.

The rules of the match were absurdly simple: three to a side, no time limit; whoever won would keep winning until the end.

The horses had been put to pasture and were already fattening on the fresh grass. It seemed their day of marching out could be brought forward. Zong Wang pointed at the spirited horses scattering across the meadow and smiled.

Still, to be able to ascend the platform and display one’s strength was, by any measure, beneficial. The price, however, was not small at all. For them, going up was easy enough, but whether they could come down whole was another matter entirely.
