Chapter 87: A Complete Victory

Bang! The windshield of Jiang Butong’s van shattered like a spiderweb, shards of glass flying everywhere. Had Jiang Butong reacted a moment slower, he would have been shot in the head. Not daring to lift his head, Jiang Butong flung open the door and leapt sideways out of the vehicle. Though it looked desperate, it was the safest move—after all, the assailant’s weapon...

Meanwhile, the governor of Yanzhou, Cao Cao, sent an envoy via Zhang Yang, the prefect of Henei, to Chang’an, expressing earnest intentions to Li Jue and his cohort. Li Jue subsequently recognized Cao Cao’s official title as Yanzhou’s governor and ordered him to campaign against Tao Qian to prove his loyalty.

Liu Bei nodded. Liu Mi’s commercial enterprises might not rival those of the Wang family in Qingzhou or the Mi family in Xuzhou in sheer scale, but in depth of insight, he surpassed these merchants.

Though they might not know that, as the highest commander of the Xuanzhou city militia, he and the governor of Xuanzhou kept each other in check, his counterpart must surely be aware.

Mingche currently held no official position; it would be unthinkable for a princess of noble birth to marry a commoner. Li Shimin ought to grant Mingche a rank, bestow a residence, and only after Mingche welcomed the Princess of Anyang into his own home should they move to the princess’s estate. But now, Mingche was to wed the princess directly at her residence, as if he were marrying into her household.

“Of course, I’m sending a message to Lord Xing Luan, urging him to raise an army and march south immediately.” Yuan Ying wished fervently for Lord Xing to appear before him now and offer wise counsel.

To the chief of Shenmeng Sect, the master of Void, and the rulers of Sin City, this shot was the pinnacle of martial prowess.

As the smoke cleared, a heavily armored warrior clad in icy battle armor and wielding a jet-black halberd appeared at the foot of the distant mountain. The high ground behind him was shrouded in mist, a darkness pure and impenetrable.

In New York, Kant and Noah are considered two strong, resilient players. Porzingis’s offense is formidable, but his physicality is somewhat lacking. O’Quinn, though powerfully built, might have issues with agility.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly, his head held high, chest out, embodying the bold spirit of a man who stands tall and takes responsibility for his actions. The two white-bearded elders, upon seeing him, could not help but feel a subtle shock in their hearts.

Today, Liu Xu refused to endure any longer. Just as the Buddha vies for incense, so too must a man fight for dignity—strength, backbone, pride.

After hearing all this, Wei Huan and his companion found their minds riddled with suspicion. There were too many mysteries in this tale. If the Jin family’s goal was the formula for Soul-Dissolving Elixir, and they coerced Zhou Jie into giving it up, why then did they come after him again once they had the secret?

Even now, using the Eye of Void, he could not detect anything that might pose an immediate threat to him.

Chen Nuo said it wouldn’t work—the primeval forest was too vast, the mountains too high, without a map it was dangerous and fruitless, wasting time for little gain. Better to investigate the deceased president of South Capital University thoroughly first.

But if Wen Jinyan used this as an excuse not to marry Nangong Xiao, he would surely blame everything on himself.

“Sister Wanrou, now that you are married, it will be less convenient for your eldest sister to see you in the future.”

Since the ancient calamity, though orthodox cultivators still dominated, the so-called unorthodox sects have risen swiftly—like the Ten Ghost Cities under the Ghost Ancestor, or the Beast Taming Sect—all of them powerful and formidable.

Su Xiuyang was shocked and about to leap from the poolside to escape, but Chen Nuo kicked him back into the water.

The emergency supplies originally stored in the shelter, those that Link had monopolized for over ten days in Chicago, held no appeal for him at all.

Above, the Sky-Devouring Toad, following the momentum of its leap, rammed its head into the Thunder Eagle’s belly. The eagle let out a plaintive cry, charred feathers flying, its body soaring upward.

“Not bad—three fragments of Heaven’s Scar earned me ten million cultivation points. This deal wasn’t too bad!” Lin Yunjie weighed the gains and couldn’t help but exhale a long, relieved breath.
