Eighty-Eight: Spirits and Gods, Part Twenty

Ancient China’s noble ranks were divided into twenty levels, with the supreme rank being the marquis. Under the Han, the Qin system was inherited, but to avoid the taboo name of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, the title was changed from marquis of Che to marquis of Tong, also called a hereditary marquis. They wore a golden seal and purple sash, held a fief, and lived off its taxes.

He immediately sent Blood Red a message through the reincarnation imprint, then hurried back to his private room.

He spoke that speculation in such a firm tone, of course to probe and see how deep the waters of this world ran.

Restless and agitated, Zhang Fan decided to go out for a walk and admire the bright spring light in the hope of easing his pressure. But it had little effect, so he chose to enter the livestream room. After all, in such places the absurdly minded are broad of thought and the strange young men are always good for a laugh, and he usually ended up amused.

The Spirit Emperor, taking pity on Cai Yong’s remarkable talent, issued a general amnesty nine months later and pardoned him, allowing him to return to his hometown.

Moreover, since they had mistaken the man who ambushed the general for William, that meant they had not discovered Lufei. That might also be a good thing for them. But given Lufei’s nature, there was no way he would keep a low profile; no matter what, he would certainly make a tremendous commotion here.

Amplify Damage and Weaken were spells he had learned earlier, while Damage Backlash and Confusion were spells he had only just learned. After his necromancer class rose to level twenty-six, he still had eleven skill points left, and to meet the present situation, he spent them all.

According to Wang Meng, the “king” of the Plum Blossom Society had vanished long ago. The society revered Plum Blossom K, the foremost of the twelve standing directors, and that was why it was called the Plum Blossom Society. In the days when the “king” was still there, the organization had been known as the Dual Kings Association.

Along the way, many bodies of Tibetan antelopes lay on the ground, shriveled and dried out like corpses, and had already turned into a valley of death. The disciples of the Earth Master sect stepped over the remains while chattering among themselves, everyone saying something different.

“All right,” I said with a soft sigh. In truth, none of them had understood what I meant. I was worried the entire Earth Master clan might be overturned.

So, after leaving Adele to handle the matter of meeting Elizabeth Hood and arranging for her a vice president position at Trafalgar Company so she could help John manage the business, George once again turned his attention to the team’s pre-match preparations.

“Gu Xiaoman, ha ha ha ha—so this was all a trap, a trap set from the very beginning around me, one I could never escape!” The moment Beichen saw Gu Xiaoman, he understood.

“This came up just as your father and all of you were told about it, so I’ll say a few words too. Your uncles helped our family quite a bit in the past; now that our own family is doing better, we should help when help is needed. It’s just that we haven’t yet agreed on how to help.” Liu Hailan added.

For those who had nothing to do with official circles, Nanan carried a different meaning altogether, especially for those who had received Chen Jian’s invitation and understood that some of the items in this exhibition carried enormous profit.

On the dock of the coastal defense city in the capital, this ambitious young man understood that he had taken his first step. With the soaring passion of youth, he boarded the flagship that was about to cross the Pacific and make port at Wangbei City, just as Chen Jian had done years ago when he set out on his world voyage while still young.

What was regrettable, however, was that each heavenly tribulation strike was stronger than the last, so relying on the formation alone would be useless. But Li Shuyu had never intended to rely solely on the formation to survive the tribulation; she had made ample preparations.

Such rules were humane and would not force residents to do what they did not wish to do. Having spiritual roots did not mean one had to cultivate.

The slogan shouted by the Arsenal fans naturally aroused intense dissatisfaction throughout Tottenham—when Arsenal had not beaten them once this season, and the last two meetings had both ended in defeat, how could you be so confident that you would walk away unscathed from White Hart Lane?

The other experts were also covering their faces and weeping, their emotions running high. Just then the satellite phone rang; one of the experts had secretly notified the people on the other end. Zhang Dajun took the phone, and from the other side came only a few words: obey Expert Hu’s orders.

“Where did that guy go?” Su Yuyang yawned as he collapsed onto the sofa, when suddenly a slip of paper on the table caught his attention.

Seeing that I was sincere, Brother Red Hair did not continue arguing with me. We rested until nightfall before preparing to set out under cover of darkness, so it would be easier to avoid the Miao village people and leave safely.

Aside from the raiders and the few people inside the Suburban, many police officers and FBI agents elsewhere were also holding their breath as they watched the surveillance footage.

The mysterious man’s crimson eyes, like those of a fiendish ghost, were also fixed tightly on Xia Yang. After a few breaths, he suddenly roared and thrust out a fist, launching himself straight at Xia Yang in a deadly strike.

“What is it? What’s got you so angry? Come on, tell your husband.” Leng Mochen took my hand and led me toward the sofa, pressing my shoulders so that I sat down.

Although Ling Miao and Su Yuyang were hurrying along the road, their hands were clasped tightly together, giving Tang Xuan the feeling that nothing in the world could ever separate them.

“All right.” She gave a soft nod, then looked again toward the unfamiliar street where people came and went; his figure was already gone.

“You’re back?” There was a glimmer of crystal brightness in Su Yuyang’s eyes, like the brilliant stars in the night sky. Ling Miao wanted to pull his hand free from Su Yuyang’s palm, but the moment he saw Su Yuyang’s face full of expectation, all his strength drained away.

Before setting off, I checked and saw that the Black Python was still asleep. I had no idea what kind of benefit it had gained in that cavern.

Zhao Min, the right censor-in-chief, and Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch overseeing the brocade guards, both laughed inwardly: just wait. Before long, the emperor might issue an edict and have your head fall, Eunuch Zhang.

The tricycle was a typical wreck, something that needed a good beating, and just then Zhao Xiaocheng and the others arrived, along with Old Brother Ge.

There was also what Wu Tian had done before; Zhao Xiaocheng already had his guard up, so he received those words with mixed trust and doubt.

Octopus really did have a silver tongue. White Wolf was truly afraid that Zhao Xiaocheng would be led astray by his words and end up walking the road of no return.

After washing up, Xu Huinan came over with wet hair and casually sat on the sofa, then began eating his porridge.

“Yuyue, shall we go too? Maybe we can find some treasures?” Tian An rubbed his hands together, eager to try.
