Chapter 41: I Want a Divorce

The road construction workers curiously eyed the advancing convoy, gazing with awe at the security personnel surrounding it. They had no idea who was inside, but judging by the exceptionally tight security deployed everywhere the convoy passed, the person's status was undoubtedly extraordinary.

Who knows how much time had passed. The entire inn was fast asleep, and the hazy moonlight cast a wash of silver over the earth. Weng Guimi leaned out, bathing herself in the moonlight. Remembering that night in Moon Bay, a smile unconsciously bloomed on her lips.

"Zibing, what's wrong with you?" Luo Sihan suddenly sensed some unusual emotional fluctuations from Ye Zibing, and quickly squeezed her hand, asking with concern.

The spot they were currently staying at was relatively far away, so they had to move closer to get a clear view.

Just as everyone thought Jiang Hai was a dead man, a somewhat trembling voice broke the silence.

"I picked this up in that valley. I don't have any handy weapons right now, so I'll just make do with it," Lin Sheng said nonchalantly while using the long spear to hack away at the overgrown vines ahead. Fortunately, the weapon was completely caked in rust, which concealed its true appearance, otherwise it would have been really hard to explain.

"Senior, promise me first." Fan Xuan's eyes were already brimming with tears, as if she would burst out crying immediately should Lin Sheng refuse her.

Upon entering the inn, they indeed discovered that its layout was remarkably similar to the one in Cangshan City, and even the tables, chairs, and other items used were identical. It seemed this inn also belonged to the Lin family.

Yang Hua listened intently. He could discern an aura of heroism in Xiao Yuanhe's voice. This heroic aura was definitely not the kind of empty boast ordinary people made, but rather the profound, earnest advice only an elder who had experienced great storms of life could impart.

Duan Xin was in a great rush. Seeing Zhu Lingran act with such bold decisiveness, he was more than willing and immediately stated his need to requisition six hundred elite soldiers. Initially, four hundred odd men would have been sufficient to blockade the headquarters of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Corps, but Duan Xin added another two hundred just to be safe.

Coupled with their skilled and battle-hardened commander—proving the adage that a strong general produces no weak soldiers—this was the truest portrayal of the current Azure Dragon Army. At this moment, Yang Lingshan had also figured it out: as long as they could capture Eastern Capital City, it wouldn't matter even if she handed all her troops over to Mu Ye, especially since the man actually possessed such talent.

Wei Di fell silent. She actually knew this, but her complete lack of personal safety left her feeling rather uneasy.

Zheng Shan delivered a fierce slap across his most beloved nephew's face, sending him flying several meters away.

Ye Ji walked forward, noticing an unidentified lump lying on the ground not far ahead...

However, once those "stronger demons" fused together, the Void Return realm practitioners could no longer contend with them and could only resort to interference.

In his view, although the strengths of True Immortal Donghuang and the Donghuang Sect were not weak, they utterly lacked the capability to swagger before them.

Originally, the fourth brother was in charge of the company's finance and after-sales service. Born a wanderer, he had no sooner finished the Chinese New Year than some nerve in his brain snapped—or heaven knows what got into him—and without a single word of warning, he ran off to France to study sculpture.

Upon listening to Bri Sack's suggestion, Abbaz nodded and agreed. And while Abbaz awaited Joina's arrival, Mu Ye also met the person he had been longing to see: Leng Feng, the young master of the Assassin Sect, accompanied by his father, Leng Wuchang.

However, Zhao Yun and the Azure Cloud Cavalry were the elite cavalry of the world. If the troops left behind were too weak, they would be easily wiped out by Zhao Yun; yet leaving too many troops behind would heavily sap the vitality of Lü Bu's army, leaving them severely weakened even if they managed to break out to Langya. At this moment, Chen Gong fell into a severe dilemma.

One could see that the spiral sword Qi condensed by the Tiangang Genuine Qi Art was being disrupted. Clearly, the ominous aura carried by those fiends and demons had a powerful corrosive effect on Wu Yichen's energy.

As soon as Zuo Suhan returned, his family successively approached their grandfather to persuade him, yet the grandfather had his own misgivings: he was the one who had brought the person back—could he just send her away again?

Over the years, whenever she returned to his side, she always wore an air of absolute normalcy, showing him total obedience, and wearing nothing more than a smile upon her face.

"Close your eyes, clear your mind of all distractions, and picture the destination you want to reach," Linglong said, grasping my hand.

Gu Nian opened the door, her gaze falling upon his shoulders still dusted with a few snowflakes, and then looking past him into the empty space behind.

Everything Xiao Jingchen had ever said flooded her mind at this moment, impossible to dispel, so much so that when the escalator reached the second floor, she was so lost in thought that she nearly tripped over her feet for failing to step off in time.

Xiaoyaoye walked along the direction pointed out by the old man, and sure enough, after a short while, he arrived at the marketplace intersection on Examination Hall Street, instantly dumbfounded by the scene before his eyes.

Meeting certain people once in your lifetime has already exhausted all the luck you will ever possess; meeting them a second time is simply an impossibility.

Was I really going to die? The more I thought about it, the more resentful I felt. To die in such a muddled fashion without even knowing whose hands I perished at—did Shui Linger and her master, who constantly had benevolence and morality on his lips, really just abandon me like this?

"Ling... Feng... I..." Unexpectedly, a flash of struggle crossed Bai Feifei's eyes, and these vague, intermittent words broke from her lips.

Sabu still doubted Shao Bu's motives for doing this. He refused to believe the Red Army would be so kind as to give up a chance to completely annihilate the enemy. Ever since the Long March, the Yunnan Army had fought the Red Army numerous times, accumulating deep grudges between the two sides. Zhang Shen's actions just now were the best proof of this.

All of this concealed underlying problems. Gregg was far too impatient; a young man lacked any composure whatsoever. Yet they truly needed to proceed with caution in this matter—if Arthur managed to slip through this disaster, finding another opportunity like this in the future would be exceedingly difficult.

Wen Yiming nodded. This was precisely the rebellious behavior characteristic of sixteen or seventeen-year-old youths: low self-awareness, suppressed by both parents and school, and always fond of confronting problems with an antagonistic attitude—completely normal.

Seeing this, Hu Ge, as if having tacitly agreed with Zang Yunwen and the others, consented to their voluntary plea and ordered a full-scale offensive, marching straight toward the imperial capital of the Montis Empire.

The personnel aboard the Thorn Chamber of Commerce cargo ships finally witnessed the terror of those men. Along the way, any pirates they encountered fled far into the distance, not daring to approach the vicinity of the cargo ships at all, terrified of being counter-robbed.
