Chapter 110: The Condemned Man

Qi Jun walked through the dim corridor of the county jail, a wave of profound reflection washing over him, accompanied by a complex swirl of emotions.

The last time he had been in this jail, he was dragged in by the county guards for wounding Liu Qi with a crossbow in the street. Now, however, he had returned as the County Commandant of Anqiang.

On the day he first entered these cells, he had truly believed his life in this era had come to an end; he never imagined it would become the starting point of his rise. Had he not endured that stint behind bars, he might never have caught the eye of Feng Qinian, nor would he possess his current status.

It was truly a case of opportunity hidden within adversity.

Qi Jun sighed...

"Master, are you telling the truth?" Nothing could make her happier than possessing a physical form; she had spent over a decade in the underworld as nothing more than a soul.

Smile was a high-speed muscle-enhanced cyborg, Cold Beauty possessed extraordinary close-quarters combat prowess, and there was no need to even mention Black Kill, whose newly replaced knee joints concealed mechanical devices that could amplify kick force based on his body weight, not to mention his towering stature.

Cod species include Atlantic cod and Pacific cod, with the most heavily harvested being cod, haddock, dab, and scale-fish. It is said that Arctic cod are typical cold-water fish, disappearing entirely once temperatures exceed five degrees.

Shi Xie helped Jin Yu catch his breath in silence, feeling somewhat bewildered as to how he and Jin Yu could have produced such a bizarre and ill-fated child.

Chief Nige's actions indicated that he had accepted the challenge. Should he wait to see the outcome of the Chief's acceptance before deciding his own course of action, or make a decision now?

Watching his own name being signed, Cassano stood with his hands on his hips, shrugging with an air of utter helplessness.

The aroma of lotus fragrance began to permeate the air along with the steam from the pot, refreshing the spirit and dispelling the chest-tightening gloom brought on by the rainy weather.

Liu Zhongsheng’s face turned ashen. His entire body felt drained of strength, his legs heavy as lead, unable to take a single step. Just then, two disciplinary inspectors stepped forward, gripped his arms, and led him out of the office.

The landing site was eighty-six kilometers in a straight line from the Orlando base where the Controller was located. According to satellite photos from the Indian system, the overland distance was nearly one hundred kilometers; at a normal walking pace, one could reach the outskirts of the base in a day and a night.

Sang Chun, however, was mesmerized by the scene on the surface of the breeding pond, pointing at the sea birds that were busy yet leisurely, and asking what was going on.

"So the Corpse Yin Viper was my savior after all!" Yan Yuncheng thought to himself, unable to help but chuckle.

After eating for a while, the two began drinking bowl after bowl of Wuliangye as if it were water, finishing a bowl in one gulp. It seemed both Jiang Xie and Mr. Ye had extraordinary capacities for alcohol.

But if there were those who privately worshipped demon gods within the Qingyun Sect, or even among its high-ranking disciples, then everything would make sense.

Back then, so many people died that there were no coffins left. Once dead, you were simply dragged out and left for the dogs.

"Yuncheng?" Wen Lan looked at Yan Yuncheng with a strange expression as he carried a burly man on his back.

"Unknown Demon King, do you know that by attacking my Flying Crane Sect, you are making an enemy of the Qingyang Sect? The Qingyang Sect will not let this go!" the leader of the Flying Crane Sect roared hysterically. Knowing he could not fight an expert at the Nascent Soul stage, he could only hope that the reputation of the Qingyang Sect would scare Locke away.

At the same time, Xie Gongbao controlled his clone to snatch the sword away, leapt into the air, and descended headfirst, thrusting the blade directly toward Gao Wan’s crown. With the Prison-Breaking Slash and Phantom Slash executed simultaneously, both the human-shaped air shadow and the clone struck at once, filling the sky and ground with figures in a spectacular display.

While carrying Chen Xiao in flight, Wan Jiuyun explained the situation to him. Chen Xiao nodded to show he understood, all the while impressed by Wan Jiuyun’s formidable power.

At this moment, he set down the boy he had been holding in his other hand and untied the ropes binding him.
