Volume One, Chapter 20: The Interrogation Room

Unorily was dazed as the guards led her down to the underground prison. Staring at the dark, damp cell, her heart sank; once a noble princess of Rolia, now even the guards bullied her. Seeing the watchful eyes of the guards outside the door fixed on her, Unorily was instantly terrified beyond reason.

General Wei struck fiercely with one palm, producing a thunderous explosion. The terrifying force radiated wildly, drawing the attention of all disciples of the Shadowless Sword Sect to the sky at once.

Even some major powers controlled by the Dragon Clan and those allied with them had since abandoned the Dragon Clan.

According to forensic investigation regulations, all individuals connected to the deceased must be screened, much like washing rice—sifting away the sand and keeping the grains.

“Counterattack the demon clan? Impossible. We only need to hold Middle Continent firmly and bring in the human clans from the North, South, and East Continents,” a representative of one faction declared.

“The leader has instructed our brothers in the city to investigate cautiously while ensuring their safety. However, the enemy has been meticulous; no useful information has surfaced yet. But…” the thief hesitated.

Old Gao and the others were so terrified that they did not even realize the vines binding their ankles.

The matchmaker’s eyes gleamed at the sight of the room full of money. She never expected the village’s poorest to suddenly possess such wealth, becoming the richest in the village. The stark contrast left her unable to believe the reality before her.

“All your debts and confiscated properties have been burned. Now, this money, extracted from you all, is here. Each of you may take ten thousand taels and start a new life!” Future spoke calmly.

Fu Shaojun’s words confirmed Wufeng’s earlier claim: Gu Meng and Guan Chenji had indeed created an invisible barrier. This barrier was unseen and intangible but blocked everything. Yet Fu Shaojun understood this situation deeply.

“Don’t call me senior anymore; just use my name,” Li Zelu said, flattering Gu Meng.

“Mr. Luo, do you want Alf to coordinate future relations between the two clans?” He Keqing inquired.

Alright, she admitted it—the sensation of being with Guan Chenji was incredibly wonderful. But he was the only man she’d ever had; she had no chance to compare with others. Wasn’t that a loss?

“I’ll see you back!” Li Zelu said as he caught up to Guan Yuchen and Feng Xinci at the doorway.

As Zhu Huang left, the room fell silent except for the chirping of birds outside and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Though Wang Wei merely detoxified him, in a sense, he was the lifesaver of the entire Lei family.

Tian Jiao had lost all reason and, having been drunk beforehand, Gu Lian knew nothing could stop his madness unless he got exactly what he wanted or was subjected to an even deeper shock.

It was no surprise that Lilith knew Grevas, for Lilith had once been the head of the Academy, which maintained intricate ties with the Bone Alliance. Naturally, Grevas, who bore the Bone Alliance’s cursed armor imprint, was aware of Lilith’s existence.

The three attacked fiercely, each move seemingly intent on killing. Dodging was difficult, and attempting to seize Luo Yan at the moment was impossible.

Da Jiang raised his club, but before it could fall, he felt a lightning-fast blade strike toward him.

Sun Buqi could hear his senior’s heartbeat and sense her helplessness; if he slipped away quietly, her spirit might shatter immediately.

“Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work. The affairs of Yanmen depend entirely on you,” Liu Fan said, dismounting to straighten Jia Xu’s robes and addressing the group.

Deng San, intoxicated by his victory, was foolish enough to attempt a sneak attack on the natives, planning to return for his reward.

Although he knew it was wrong to gloat, he felt happy and insisted on celebrating by bringing back a pound of meat from the butcher.

Liu Fang was hesitant; weighing between eating the meat and being bitten by a dog, she chose to avoid the dog bite.

At the slightest sign of trouble, he would immediately leave with anyone connected to him. Despite working with the Fist Seven recently, he had yet to obtain any intelligence regarding formulas.

Sun Buqi rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment, then sent a gritted-teeth text: “Many thanks! Due to tight funds and other investments, next time.”

Indeed, the land was barren, and he was powerless. Emperor Wu of Han once encompassed thousands of miles of grasslands and deserts but had to abandon these “wastelands” due to the impossibility of farming.

Now, the only chance was to seek opportunity within the True Martial Star Domain, where endless battles were the norm.

“Kakashi, I never thought you’d teach this technique to Sasuke!” Kai watched in shock as Sasuke manipulated the tangible chakra in his hands, while Shikamaru and the others remained clueless about the nearly visible ninjutsu.

“Waaah, miss, you’re finally back! Our home’s been completely occupied by the enemy; I don’t even have a place to sleep!” Bing Zhu sobbed, clutching her tightly and refusing to let go.

The village was small, fewer than ten households, built on a mountainside with wooden structures. From afar, smoke rose from a few homes.

Not wanting to pick a fight, Chu Ming rolled his eyes and returned to his room to retrieve a cloth bag.

The man appeared by the Moon Lake, landing lightly. With a wave of his long sleeves, green light dispersed. Wearing a jade crown and simple jade-green robe, his unremarkable face belied an elegant, inscrutable aura that made it clear he was no ordinary man.

“Damn it!” Ye Zang panicked for the first time; nothing like this had happened in the Hokage’s history. His arrival had clearly altered the original course of events.

Only when he uttered “please” did everyone awaken, hastily lifting the white porcelain teacups before them.

“Hey, Jarhead, do you really have those treasures in your tiny jar?” a burly man asked.

Back then, Ye Changting had performed the bold feat of inquiring about swords at the Heavenly Gate after deciding to leave the mortal world.

Seeing He Baishou fall, Lin Qi trembled all over, and heat surged between his legs—obviously terrified to the point of losing control.
