Volume 1, Chapter 58: The Empress Regrets Her Past Actions Bitterly

According to the rules of the Ma family, ever since they were born, their father, Ma Jiu, had told them: the people of the Ma family are born in the Green Gang and grow up in the Green Gang. In life they belong to the Green Gang, and in death they remain ghosts of the Green Gang. And under the rules of the Green Gang, the price of making a mistake is death.

"What are you panicking for? We didn't come to question you about anything; we are just here to tell you something. Will you listen or not? If you listen, how about I spare your life?" Wang Lianhua chuckled cunningly.

After all, this place was merely a canyon, and a canyon formed by a splitting mountain at that. Inhabiting it was a secondary matter; how could they possibly grow enough grain there to be self-sufficient? For the Double Saber Stronghold, self-sufficiency was nothing more than an empty dream.

At this moment, the wind was growing stronger and stronger, making the sails on the boats across the lake flap noisily. Everyone below stared fixedly at the figures in the sky without even blinking, because a battle between masters of this caliber was truly a rare sight in the current Primeval Era.

Having entered the state of cultivation, inside Lu Tianxiang's mind, within a pitch-black space where nothing else existed, only Lu Tianxiang himself remained.

Everyone suddenly felt that something was amiss. Emperor Jing's expression also changed as he looked toward Gao Sheng. Gao Sheng understood instantly and hurried forward to gently touch the man.

"Oh?" High up in the air, amidst the churning and writhing of eerie black mist, the Beast Lord was also attracted by this scene.

Ferocity and killing intent were fully exposed in Qin Mie's eyes. He could not possibly let go simply because of a few words from Ye Zhengyang and Ji Changkong. He had spent nearly a thousand years and countless sacred medicines to achieve this result. Now that success was within arm's reach today, how could he possibly say he would give up just like that?

"Of course, I will also give you something to help you retrieve the Kusanagi Sword. I can't just let you throw your life away for nothing, right?" The God of Thieves still wore a smiling expression.

After Que'er's explanation, Xiao Guo finally understood that the flooding of the Herb Burial Mountain was indeed a true event. However, that cultivator had not been killed because of the seal, but rather because of the water. One must know that when the Herb Burial Mountain opened, the seal became inactive—how could a seal possibly block a massive flood?

After those moments passed, the gap that Faker had previously created against Wang Yao was completely made up for, and even slightly surpassed. After all, Faker had only obtained two assists in that previous team fight, whereas Wang Yao had pushed several waves of minion lines in his lane and even claimed the economic reward of a tower.

Yet to everyone's disappointment, the elderly master of the Bai family had consistently failed to show his face ever since the incident involving Bai Zongming.

Everyone was shocked into an uproar. Even if the Young Madam had indeed died because of Princess Wuyang, she would not have had to pay with her life. The fact that she dared to make such an oath could only mean that the Young Madam's death truly held hidden secrets.

"Ha! What does this count for? Let me tell you, there is no one in this world whose nature I cannot see through! As for you, there are still too many things you need to learn, so take your time!" After saying this, the vendor strolled leisurely back to his stall.

Chen Yi glared at Fatty Wu, wishing he could strangle this fellow to death. His entire meager fortune had actually been sold off by this guy.

At this moment, he paid virtually no attention to the game, usually keeping his eyes half-closed as though he might fall asleep at any second. However, the moment Du Shishi's Go piece dropped, his eyes would snap open instantly, his sharp gaze scanning the chessboard back and forth to lock onto his own position, place his stone, and then resume closing his eyes to rest and recover his energy.

Personally lead the army on an expedition? In his earlier years, perhaps he could have managed it, but now that was no longer possible. Therefore, it could only be delegated to an imperial prince, but which one should be sent?

Because the Drunkard already faintly knew that the Demonic Spirit Monarch who had come to attack Taixuan City last time was definitely no ordinary entity. Although he had felt a sense of caution at the time and prevented Chu Yi from directly killing the Demonic Spirit Monarch, Chu Yi had nevertheless crippled the opponent.

This remark warmed Emperor Yuan's heart immensely. As the ruler of a nation, even though the Great Qi State was indeed far more powerful than Zhaoyue, he still loathed feeling inferior to others.

For the Tan family to comfortably hold the position of county magistrate for over a decade, it was certainly because they had offered a great deal of silver as tribute to those higher up. Yet this time, the one targeting the Tan family was the Emperor himself, so no matter how much silver they offered, it would be of no use.

Inside a towering skyscraper that scraped the clouds, within an expansive office that occupied nearly half the entire floor, a tall and straight man stood with his hands behind his back in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the entire city like a ruler surveying his domain.

One must bear in mind that one was the head of the Ministry of Land and Resources, while the other was the executive vice mayor. The sums passing through their hands could easily exceed fifty million within a single week.

Meng Jingchen's expression grew even darker. This brat was clearly not giving him a chance to call her to account—was she feeling guilty after committing some wrongdoing?

Therefore, averaged out, generating a promotion in the first quarter was roughly equivalent to the sales volume of the entire year.

Fatty's words made my skin crawl a bit as well, because if Lao and the others had truly been dragged into the tomb by whatever was inside it, then no matter what this thing turned out to be, it was definitely no benevolent entity.

After all, researching and developing products also requires capital. If this batch fails to meet the standards, I will still need to ask for your help to continue developing products that meet my requirements. You can send up to two tons per month.

Yu Jiuling, on a whim, coerced Gu Xuanwu into helping and stayed by Yu Sang's side under the identity of Jun Lian. When we were in peril, Jun Lian risked his life to save us, yet it was precisely at that moment that Yu Sang saw through A Cha's scheme.

A chilling gust of wind blew into the nape of my neck, making me shiver all over. That person approached from behind me with a hunched back. Just a moment ago, I had clearly checked and seen no one—when on earth had she arrived behind me?

With that, Chen Yiqing kowtowed to bid farewell, and before anyone could react, he rolled away like a gust of wind.

Moreover, this news had somehow been leaked to the media by some unscrupulous person. Today happened to be the day Rong Xun assumed office as president, and with various reports breaking out simultaneously, the stock price of the Rong Corporation plunged right from the opening bell, almost hitting the daily limit-down.

Following that, with a sharp slap-like sound, the elder collapsed heavily onto the ground, kicked his legs once, and fainted dead away.

Because Lao Zhu, Fat Tiger, and I were never the types to endure things in silence—at least back then, we certainly weren't.

Even though it couldn't kill him, if such power were to accumulate further within his body, being effortlessly killed by someone would no longer be an impossibility.

Had Lin Mu not broken through to the Great Saint realm and seen his strength surge across the board, he would have been utterly incapable of blocking those three sword qi blasts just now, and might even have perished under them.
