Chapter 61: A Helping Hand and a Striking Blow

Tang Yu then said to Shi Lei, “Select someone trustworthy from the Ministry of Revenue and send him to Luzhou to find Mu Shengfeng. I will give you two imperial decrees: one is a genuine confession of guilt, and the other is the official edict to execute Liang Daokua. Then, confiscate all lands owned by Liang Daokua and his followers. For those commoners who fled to He Tiansheng, as long as they are willing to return to their original homes, grant them land and exempt Luzhou from taxes for a year.”

...

This man was unfamiliar, dressed plainly and casually, yet gave off a sense of warmth and approachability. However, he was neither a royal prince attending the academy nor a proper scholar. No one had heard of such a figure in the academy before.

The three instantly unleashed fierce, unmatched attacks, each charging toward one of the colossal monsters of the Endless Sea. In a flash, the battle became extraordinarily intense.

Within the torrent of golden light, a giant golden dragon claw suddenly emerged, boldly confronting the flood of blood-red swords that filled the sky.

At that moment, the Wujian market district was packed with people. To maintain order among so many cultivators from various family factions, the Corpse Ghost Sect had to deploy more Foundation Establishment cultivators than they had expected.

Fortunately, Daoist Sansheng and Daoist Sande still possessed some composure, not succumbing to drunken stupor.

The door opened, and the first to enter was Princess Jiujiu, dressed in a long golden palace gown. Following behind her was none other than the Emperor of the Starfall Empire.

Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed in his cave residence, Li Xuangang felt at ease. The remaining matters no longer concerned him; Seventh Uncle would surely handle everything.

Wang Fugui handed over the family accounts to Lady Wang, putting her in charge. With this, the old steward lost his real authority and, naturally, could not profit as before.

When the massive blue sword shadow fell from behind, Wu Dao turned in panic and quickly drew his magical artifact to defend himself.

Unaware that someone was approaching, Murong Jin continued along his original sword path. When he caught sight of the corner of a swirling dragon pattern on a dark robe, it was already too late to withdraw his sword.

Zhang Dabiao immediately returned to the Second Battalion to prepare for the upcoming battle. If they wanted Li Yunlong to fulfill his promise, they would have to display all their skills.

He didn’t even bother to glance at her, just as he had thousands of years ago; his eyes had only been filled with cultivation and cold indifference. Now, his gaze finally carried a trace of warmth, but it was not for her.

The Japanese soldiers and collaborators saw her gentle smile, then witnessed those she had knocked down. Their hearts trembled—this woman’s hands were truly ruthless.

Pressed for time, Guo Can rented several houses in the northern district for future training and soup preparation.

The abbot waved his hand; the imperial grandson’s silence on the matter made his intentions clear.

The universe was likewise filled with dangers, such as sudden bursts of stellar radiation, which had traveled countless millennia to pass through.

“So? Gentlemen, do you have any unspoken concerns?” Qin Heng’s eyes flickered, a smile at the corner of his lips as he asked again.

On this day, early in the morning, Qin Heng led A Fu and several servants toward the Qin Feng Palace.

He himself had grown old, no longer possessing the heroic vigor of his youth, yet still wished for one last ride on horseback.

So many incidents had occurred lately; he truly hadn’t rested well, which left him looking somewhat weary.

“Who told you to run about? Today, stay at the company; you’re not allowed to go anywhere.” Gu Chen hadn’t spoken to her in such a cold voice for a long time.

This time, Tang Fan removed his mask of worldly disguise. Now that he was here, he felt no need to present himself as ‘A Yi’ any longer.

You really are my lucky star. Please call me Eleven from now on—your sister got promoted, ha ha ha! If I can’t find a suitable sword sheath, I’ll just accept the sword as it is, or I’ll feel guilty.

The words that came through the phone made Qin Yang stop in his tracks toward the elevator, turn around, and sweep his gaze across the surroundings.
