Chapter 134: On Changing Dynasties
"Summon him," the old Emperor commanded.
Eunuch Li hurried out to personally receive the Crown Prince, Zhao Su.
"Your Highness, His Majesty requests your presence," Eunuch Li said, bowing low upon seeing Zhao Su. The things this Crown Prince had been doing lately were becoming increasingly terrifying and shocking. Who could have imagined...
Chen Ji stared at Wei Zhuhui with an unreadable expression. Wei Zhuhui nudged him, and Chen Ji's gaze shifted to her hand.
Sheng Zi'an instructed A-Qi to place the bag on the table inside the room, then moved the oil lamp closer and opened it. The contents were revealed. They were not material substances, nor were they energy, but the condensation of laws. Supernatural powers condensed into laws, and laws condensed into the Great Dao. Before them lay a multitude of laws, coalescing into a Great Dao that resembled a human brain.
However, the male lead was a noble and indifferent character, which actually suited Hua Shenyan’s temperament quite well; he would only need to play himself.
"Oh no!" At the peak of a distant skyscraper, the young man holding the heavy sniper rifle turned pale as he witnessed the scene through his scope.
From beneath a black cloak, a large hand slowly emerged and gently gripped her delicate chin.
Tao Chuxue sat from dusk until nightfall. There were no lights in the room; only a faint, dim glow from the streetlamp outside filtered in, vaguely illuminating an inch of space before the windowsill.
Even the onlookers gathered in small groups nearby watched Chen Xinghe with the expressions of people waiting for a good show.
She did not know what Brother Zhu had said, but she heard a shriek from Chu Xuewei, followed by a flurry of flushed, angry cursing.
"Then may I choose to visit a place first, and have lunch afterward?" Hua Shenyan’s eyes flickered as he spoke.
When Su Li returned to the Vice Minister’s mansion in the northern suburbs of the Imperial Capital, he spotted a familiar figure standing at the gate from afar.
Liang Kun walked with a slacker’s swagger; upon entering and seeing Ji Bu sitting beside Lin Kun, his voice came to an abrupt halt.
Following his two shouts, rapid and dense footsteps echoed from the intersection of the alley.
In an instant, the number of savage beasts that fell to Xun Fan was countless. Among the cultivators he led were over fifty powerful individuals who, while slightly inferior to Xun Fan, were still formidable, slaughtering countless beasts.
Although he had been beaten to this state, Ma Hongjun secretly rejoiced in his heart, thankful that his body had become more resilient after three months of training.
It was during these recent days that, after entering a meditative state, Xia Qingyi began to understand their vocalizations and could control them. Furthermore, the sequence of her left and right hands had to follow the habits of these animals.
He still felt a lingering fear; the encounter had not only severely injured his avatar but had also affected his true form. This rarely happened in the past and was something only the Seven Absolutes on the Qianji Ranking could achieve with such powerful destiny.
As he spoke, the bearded man picked up a steamed bun from the table and sniffed it vigorously. However, he was no physician and was unfamiliar with the scent of medicinal drugs; apart from the aroma of the bun, he could smell nothing else.
After the disciples were all in their respective positions, they bowed in unison, then sat cross-legged with their backs straight, gazing respectfully toward the stage.
"Your eldest brother and I didn't have breakfast this morning," Madam Qian said, rubbing her stomach. The implication could not have been clearer.
The Emperor had also been quite distressed these days. The matter of Ruan Yunsi had become a situation where he was riding a tiger: on one hand, it was difficult to retract his imperial decree, and on the other, Su Mingxi was deeply devoted to Ruan Yunsi and refused to yield.
She was like a computer system where everything was pre-programmed. Unless there was a glitch in the code, she could only watch everything with cold detachment, even if her emotions told her she did not wish to be this way.
