Volume 1, Chapter 64: Do You Want to Be a Princess Consort?
"The Zhao Family Army?" Hearing this, the fiend raised his eyebrows slightly. After all, it was not easy for him to improve his own cultivation realm, leaving him with no spare energy to be distracted by other matters in the real world.
Looking at this loan agreement, it was completely impossible to discern any problems. Luo Guoqing did not know how to question further, so he looked at Lin Chuan.
"Move aside, or die!" Ximen Chuixue sheathed his sword, his pristine white robes not shifting in the slightest. His stern face remained utterly expressionless, save for his bright eyes that flickered with myriad chilling sword lights. Beneath his feet, cold plum blossoms formed from concentrated sword qi slowly bloomed, paving the way into a bridge of plum petals.
The city walls on all four sides were at least dozens of kilometers long and about a hundred meters high. Faintly visible light ripples shimmered above the city, yet the buildings within were crystal clear. At the very center of the city stood a towering structure resembling a thousand-meter-tall pagoda.
Most importantly, the combat methods and survival tactics of the special forces leaned heavily toward stealth, leaving Lin Sen with no choice but to break his troops down into smaller units to fight independently. Once a target was spotted, they would instantly gather, launch a surprise attack, and immediately retreat. However, to prevent being picked off one by one by the British forces, Lin Sen dared not disperse his troops too widely.
Ah Huan lay to the side, wagging its tail. Presumably affected by the blazing sun outside, it lacked its usual vigor.
"Father, I must ask you to wait a moment longer. Only after the sovereign issues an order can we allow you to pass!" Zhao Qingyan of the aerial chariot legion spoke similarly, bowing from afar to the Crimson Flame Venerable, while leading a legion of one hundred thousand chariots to continue blocking the aerial route.
Stepping out of the mayor's office, Ian was unimpressed by the mayor's remarks. Yet the man was the mayor, while he was merely the chief security officer of the town, holding a rank lower than his. Shaking his head, he headed toward the military camp.
The bankruptcy of Wang Haishan had caused a great uproar in Songshan; anyone within that circle knew all about it.
Tu Jie had achieved his reputation as a peerless tiger general precisely because he accomplished what the Sevenfold Killers had done years before—defeating an army of five hundred thousand with a mere fifty thousand.
"Understood, Master. We shall take our leave first." With that, they offered apologies to Sanqing, Zhenyuan, and the others, before heading back to the Isle of Leisure first.
Hearing his words, Ye Feng and the others exchanged glances. Ye Feng then continued to ask, "Next time, what kind of lineup will you send?"
Tang Zhangwei and his companions took up residence in the inn opened by Huo Jiaxin, where fine donkey meat and Monkey Drunk wine awaited them.
Feng Xunge was just about to make a move when, unexpectedly, Lou Yan strode in from outside with long legs, lips pressed together and a look of fury on his face.
Comparatively speaking, the Guanning Army remained quite calm. Being an elite cavalry force, no commander would ever use mounted troops to swarm city walls like ants.
The Azure Sea Sect, an immensely powerful secluded sect, would not have even revealed itself to the world had the demonic beasts not been stirring restlessly.
Cheng Tianchou spoke, and the disk emitted a blinding brilliance, its crystalline light enveloping the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's mountain-guarding grand array.
"Japanese?" Gamma's expression turned a bit unsightly. As an American, he knew there were numerous disputes between the United States and Japan, and his father had been a U.S. serviceman stationed in Japan who perished in a riot instigated by Japanese citizens.
"Why are you asking if I'm going to Hongzhou?" The Bone Sprite looked at the fellow posing the question, involuntarily crossing her arms in front of her chest with a haughty expression, wondering if he wanted to tag along with her.
