Chapter 97: I May Not Even Be Able to Help You Deal with Him

Gu Shen looked at Zhou Ci in silence for a long while.

Between them, there had never truly been the ordinary relationship of a man and a woman, no matter that a marriage contract existed between them.

“I already said it. It’s nothing troublesome. I can handle it myself.” Her voice was faint, almost rasping.

Then she wrenched her hand free from Zhou Ci’s grasp.

“Zhou...”

“To ward off evil, purple-gold bamboo requires ancient stalks, at least twenty sections long,” Ling Jianfei said, naming one divine bamboo; it was only one kind among many.

The other side reacted, their abdomen already tightening, clearly braced for the impact.

Faced with two gun muzzles aimed at him, Liu Dehua did not even blink as he looked at the stern-faced man and spoke to question him.

So after returning, he did not head straight home. Instead, he went to City E, more than two hundred kilometers away, bought some local specialties, and only then took a car back.

Entering the Land of Creation was, from the start, for the sake of seizing fortune and destiny. Lingering outside to cultivate was merely to ensure one could follow the others in.

“To kill one is a crime; to kill ten makes a hero; to kill millions upon millions is to be a hero among heroes!” Qin Chuan roared as he charged at the enemy.

This confrontation left her with almost nothing to say and no room to play a part. Throughout the whole process, it was Leng Changlin who protected her. Whether it was Bai Shixian or Bai Zhongjin, every time they spoke ill of her, Leng Changlin would immediately throw the words back at them.

“I wonder when Brother Yi arrived in Yancheng? The Yanshan Mountain Range is a fine place for our generation to train. Could it be that Brother Yi also came here for tempering?”

He glanced at the cages inside the shop where the pets were kept, and in the end saw that Chu Qingyao showed no expression of surprise at all, and was already preparing to feed them.

Tang Long knew that since the deceased had not died of suffocation, he now had to combine the scene with other possible causes of death. If it was not asphyxiation, could it have been an accident, poisoning, or disease? All were possible. He had to eliminate every possibility from every angle.

From the Tenth Hall, looking down upon the domain of Yama below, it was a sight of such beauty that Jing Ke could not help but sigh, “Ah! I never imagined the underworld could have such a bustling city. It is truly eye-opening.” To Tianming, that expression looked extremely strange.

At that moment, even the young man at the head of the group had gone ashen. How could he have imagined that such a master would exist?

“We must further inspect every corner of the scene, take photographs, and bring back the blood traces on the ground for forensic analysis.” Tang Long could only make this decision. Whether he himself was being overly suspicious or Wang Da truly had a problem, the investigation had to be pursued to the end.

Tianming said, “Don’t tell me you haven’t spoken to anyone in a very long time.” In truth, he was still probing.

“Let him go!” Chen Lingyan picked up a shard of broken glass, disregarding the cut on her hand, and drove it into Jack’s upper back.

“I’m fine. I should be thanking you for saving my life.” Li Bing said to the one who had grabbed the man who had just attacked him. Then, with a dark resolve in his heart, he thought that once he got back, he would be sure to give the fellow a proper lesson.

“I’ll go take a look first.” Someone had to be the vanguard, and Jiang Ming volunteered without hesitation. Aside from him, there was no better choice.

Who knew that once that girl obtained that martial skill, it was as if a door to hell had opened in her heart, releasing a demon from within.

When Nie Feiyuan went to Danxianzi’s shop to find Lu Yu, he relayed the words Li Mo had instructed him to pass on.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard the three words Heaven’s Way Mountain, he immediately became solemn and respectful. Heaven’s Way Mountain was one of the three great sects of Floating Immortal City, the largest force of humankind aside from the three great guilds.

Haikuo had already established himself at sea, and of course he now wanted to seize supremacy over the waters of the Yangtze from Shuifei Shou.
