Chapter 116: A Gathering of Titans

Yun Xi stood behind Mu Ningzhu as a backdrop. Mu Ningzhu, representing the disciples of the Haoran Sect, recounted the events truthfully, including how Zhang Yan had fallen before her eyes.

The one who had arrived from the Baohua City outpost was Master Feng Zhenren. After the beast tide ended, he had handed over his duties and was preparing to return to the sect for seclusion.

As the senior disciple of the sect leader, Sheng Yuhong naturally stayed behind to handle the aftermath. Later, he and Master Feng set out together, only to receive the Haoran Sect’s distress signal unexpectedly.

The distance between him and her was close; his aura carried a unique fragrance that wafted onto her face, stirring intense agitation within her, nearly leaving her breathless.

Everyone, sensing the matter had concluded, relaxed. Their mental synchronization broke, and in an instant, they all felt a sensation of weightlessness. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in reality.

“Father! I’m here!” The room’s door was pushed open, and a young man dressed in white strode in. Inside sat an elderly man of about sixty, exuding vigor despite his disability, confined to a wheelchair.

Nan Wuyou glanced at Xuanyuan Tianyue silently. It was true—because Wuyan’s health was poor, the Crown Prince had stayed by her side for recuperation. Had he arrived earlier, they wouldn’t have suffered such continuous defeats before.

Had he known about this all along? He Yan had anticipated it. The intelligence network of the Shangguan family was no weaker than that of Nanzhao. Hearing him speak thus, she was not surprised but smiled subtly, tacitly acknowledging the truth.

More and more people would come to regard him as a sage. The truth of the matter was not as important as the dissemination and transmission of information.

The road ahead was arduous, and the path of love even more so. Why did heaven delight in toying with these two lovers?

Mu Zi’ang’s lips curled slowly; he knew she was gradually responding. In truth, he too was enduring great hardship.

“Back then, did you take the place of the Fourth Princess and share an intimate moment with General Murong?” Helian Heyan asked in a low voice.

“Where are you taking me?” Ye Qingcheng looked at Sang Zhuo angrily, her beautiful eyes wide open, emotions evidently suppressed within.

Gu Lingsha couldn’t help but raise her voice as well, tears barely held back shimmering in her eyes.

He was a figure whose every stomp sent tremors through all of Huaxia; when he sneezed, Huaxia caught a cold for a while.

Most importantly, spirit artifacts were not as rare as cabbages; in fact, they were exceedingly scarce. Even in her previous life, Gu Ruoyun had never obtained one.

A Qing’s soul remained largely intact, and her primordial spirit power was still present. Miao Miao immediately used the Dream Illusion Garden to materialize A Qing’s body.

Jiang Shaole smiled gently, “Indeed.” The siblings had long discussed this matter.

Since learning two hours ago that their only son had died tragically, there had been no time for grief. His wife cried out, demanding vengeance for their son. But when Zhao Han discovered who was behind the poisoning, he was stunned.

“Yes,” Lu Jing’er forced a smile, comforting herself inwardly. She must not rush; she would wait until the child was born before making any moves. Even if the princess dowager’s child was already the heir apparent, she still had ways to ensure her own child would become the successor.

These were turbulent times, with every family tightly monitored. Long Qi naturally knew this and chose not to bring Zhang Shifeng directly to meet Guo Chengyi. Instead, he went himself. Even so, Long Qi did not idle on the way, changing his appearance multiple times before arriving at the headquarters of the Yi Gang.

Li Hongrui did not expect it, nor did Longhuang City, nor Long Qi, and least of all Long Kuangtian. Though he had long left the military camp, the title of Fierce General of Heavenly Break had never vanished.

After hearing Yun Fuxiao’s words, he had secretly ordered Long Yi to instruct the Dragon Soul Guard to investigate the family involved in making fireworks thoroughly. Even the cause of their death was not overlooked. Though the victims had been silenced, their bodies remained. As long as the bodies existed, finding evidence would not be difficult.
