Chapter 97: Let the Tiber River Burn (Part Three)
The Circus Maximus, a relic from ancient Rome, once stood as the heart of the empire and a symbol of its glory. Now, only crumbling ruins remain. The banner of the Tusculani family fluttered here, where several knights stood before a line of thugs kneeling on the ground.
“Sir, we are not rebels, truly we are not. Please, I beg you—”
Before the kneeling man could finish, Gregory’s arm came down.
Shiho Miyano ground her teeth in frustration. The man in front of them was a favorite of Gin; if anything went wrong, her sister would become the scapegoat.
In truth, since that strange idea first struck his mind, he had tried hard to recall, but no clues surfaced.
But now that they had entered, there was no way to let him continue on his own terms.
At the same time, the aura he carried—like a fallen noble student—was the true reason Yun Ruofu had fallen madly in love.
Though the Phantom Tiger’s rank was on par with Xie Yufeng of the Hidden Dragon realm, when it came to brutal combat, this Phantom Tiger alone was enough to annihilate the entire hunting party.
Ye Luoyin’s eyes immediately caught sight of something placed atop a large stone. She paused, then realized her grandmother was staring directly at her.
Everyone knew that this journey to the Eastern Province promised great rewards; who would willingly forgo such a rare opportunity?
According to Shi Jing, the employer had offered a 20 million crystal reward for Wei Lianyi’s life.
Until the ferris wheel’s cabin door opened again and the staff peeked inside, Ji Xiaocheng had no chance to speak.
Upon hearing this, Su Yu’s mouth twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected Wang Shiyun to say such things openly before so many people.
The Soul King bit his lip tightly, a flicker of humiliation crossing his face, but he dared not defy the order and immediately apologized profusely.
Later, humans extracted materials for magical treasures from ferocious beasts, refining these into artifacts. With the aid of spells and treasures, they could match the might of beasts and monsters of equal rank.
He only intervened once, then agreed to Yue Ziyun’s decision. To him, as Yue Ziyun had said, they were asking for trouble. The lesson they would learn depended on their attitude toward admitting fault and whether they could satisfy Yue Ziyun.
Her pair of deep blue, starry cat-like eyes was breathtakingly beautiful, irresistibly drawing gazes to linger a little longer.
She found this watch charming and cute, yet for some reason, her gaze drifted absentmindedly toward another watch instead.
News of the Yan army’s continuous raids south of Jinan spread quickly to Shen Zhuixing’s hands. Meanwhile, the court, alarmed and fearing the Yan king’s army might threaten the strategist, ordered Sheng Yong to dispatch troops to intercept and block them.
As the last grain of sand fell in the hourglass, Xiao Zhang finally succeeded in refining the elixir.
Those selected for this mission were somewhat familiar with the train’s details. Hearing Xiao Ling’s thorough explanation, the group nodded in agreement.
Blue Moon suddenly snapped back to reality. She wondered how the two men recognized the subtle military hand signals she had unconsciously made. Could they also be seasoned soldiers? Only battle-hardened warriors could maintain such calm before a fight—neither joyous nor sorrowful, neither victorious nor defeated. It seemed the world was not lacking in followers of the Mo Sect’s beliefs.
He had guarded the temple gate all along, fearing Su Cheng would break through, yet he never imagined Su Cheng had cornered him to this extent.
Bai Yunxi anxiously peered outside the courtyard. She waited and waited, but Li Jizong did not appear. Had he changed his mind? Or had something happened to him?
Only after a long cold rinse did Li Longfei manage to quell the fiery restlessness within. He thought to himself, by now, Mo Rongyan and the others should have returned to the villa in the capital. He wondered if Shangguan Rong had finalized the contract with Murong Qing.
