Chapter 148: Assassination

Among them, the ones experiencing the utmost terror were naturally people like Xue Qingyan and Dai Rong.

Dai Rong had just been revived by someone pressing his philtrum. Hearing the Emperor's words, he nearly fainted away once again.

Fortunately, he knew in his heart that if he were to faint at this moment, he might never wake up again.

Clinging to this thought, he instead became a bit more alert.

Dai Rong looked toward the spot not far from Tang Yu, where someone was holding his son...

As far as his sight could reach, he saw Ling Feng's body arched high like a great bow. Under the immense tension of his spine, a series of fierce, rope-twisting sounds rang out, as if he had been tightened to the absolute limit.

Although he could neither move his body nor speak at this moment, he possessed one absolute and supreme authority: he could exit this realm at any time and cause this realm to perish. This was something Long Fei could not match. Not only Long Fei, but even the black aura and the green aura were powerless to stop it.

Over the next few days, Ye Ku, Hua Luanfeng, Yu Jingshui, and the others were busy selecting a site. The Ink Spirit Sect was such a massive sect, with each of its branches located in different places. During this time, Moyang summoned the Nine-Robe Divine Venerables. Although the current Nine-Robe Divine Venerables were no longer complete, their strength could definitely sweep across entire territories.

Upon hearing the command, the two-thousand-strong cultivator army immediately responded in unison. Two thousand cultivation troops shouted out together, and the soundwave truly shook the heavens and earth, rolling inward so fiercely that the very ground was trembling.

Tang Feng said, "That is because they have already reaped exorbitant profits." The rap-singing pottery figurine sold to Tang Feng alone had netted them an illegal income of 1.6 million. After selling a few more such figurines, it would indeed be time to flee.

Back when Chen Xu was still a rebel, Gao Shun was the first historical famed general to voluntarily pledge his allegiance to him.

"Child, I know what you have contributed over the years to our Sihuan family and to the Demon Realm, but isn't the pursuit of great power for the sake of ascension?" The projection of the Sihuan ancestor suddenly shone into the inner heart of the Sihuan Demon King, ringing like a warning bell and thundering loudly.

Seeing such heroic spirit in their commander, the Bingzhou cavalry instantly grew bolder. Following closely behind Zhao Yun, they charged toward the oncoming Xianbei cavalry.

Moreover, Elemental Walkers were highly accomplished in crafting alchemical items and brewing medicinal pills, which allowed them to easily befriend all kinds of powerful figures. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no one was willing to offend an Elemental Walker.

The common people genuinely believed that Wang Du and his forces had attacked. In their panic, they had no choice but to follow Xue Fang and the others as they fled westward. Passing through the county town and seeing no bandits inside, the crowd hid within the city walls.

The young man knew Zhang Yi was teasing him. A flush of shyness appeared on his fair face, leaving him momentarily speechless.

On the dock, Spanish sailors armed with flintlock muskets continued to fire from behind the low walls, because those dense hordes of Kuo-toa fishmen had actually squeezed through the gaps between the ships and appeared on the dock. Chittering and screeching, they raised their coral short-spears and charged toward the ships and the temporary stronghold.

Though Feng Hao was someone who had seen the world, facing the scene before him, his heart still felt a bit fearful.

Even though the young man had suffered a setback under Zhang Yi, he was still determined to walk the wrong path to the bitter end. He glared fiercely at Zhang Yi, and then proceeded to issue another sarcastic and threatening remark to him.

Panhong Tianxia raised his head in a daze, and upon seeing Feng Hao's mocking expression, he rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot from sheer anger.

Believing that the father and son probably had things to say to each other, Xie Yuxuan smiled triumphantly at Mark before leaving, gesturing toward the jade bracelet worn on her left wrist.

Having finished speaking, Feng Yunshan directly appointed Li Shanlan as the Minister of Education, while Cheng Huancai remained as the Deputy Minister of Education. The original Minister of Education, Xu Xiangguang, was reassigned to serve as the Governor-General of Jiaozhi and Rinan, governing those two provinces.
