Volume 1, Chapter 52: The blades they raise are called butcher's knives, while the blade I raise is called destiny.

Ru An was just searching through the roster, intending to help them find it, when he abruptly heard this name. His fingers paused, and he asked, "Chuguang? May I ask how you are related to her?"

Although the maidservants had all withdrawn, they did not dare to gather and gossip idly. Before long, he had placed me in the seat beside him. His tall physique seemed capable of radiating an intangible and overwhelming aura at any moment. Because Xuan Yan was quite tall, he could only half-crouch beside me.

"No wonder the other day I felt the way you looked at Ao Qin was different from everyone else. So you are all from the same circle!" Long Qing exclaimed in sudden realization.

"Yes, these three silver notes are from the same batch, and it is recorded in our ledger. On the first day of March this year, someone brought a ten-thousand-liang silver note to the exchange shop and converted it into fifty two-hundred-liang silver notes," a shopkeeper said.

Lu Xu spotted him and rushed over like a gust of wind, only to see Kongjun emanating wisps of dark miasma as the surrounding townspeople cried out in terror.

The moment Li Jinglong heard this, he knew that An Lushan and his faction were already aware of what he had done in Luoyang. In other words, there must be a cross-spatial connection linking the four puppet apes.

Following that was the grand sacrificial ceremony to worship the imperial ancestors. With the Retired Emperor having abdicated, the new emperor presided over the rituals.

The death of Nangong Fengtian left the two of them dumbfounded. It seemed they had never dreamed things would end up this way. From initial disbelief to terror, then to remorse, helplessness, and agony, they finally plunged into utter despair. All of this ultimately dissolved into piercing, wretched shrieks.

Looking down from high above at this scene, Xuan Shitian suddenly felt a surge of panic. Truth be told, he had wanted to lend a hand to save the Emperor, but the Emperor's crimes were now heinous and unforgivable. If he were to rescue him, would he not simply be acting as an accomplice to a tyrant?

"Tell me about yourself, Brother Yuhan! Mom told me you are quite the campus celebrity these days. How does it feel?" Chu Ning asked.

Meanwhile, Feng Zhixu, seeing how easily Liuxu Xian had entered the Pupils' Gate, felt eager to try his hand as well. He cast a slight spell in the woods to transform his appearance into that of an ordinary person, and then sauntered swaggeringly out of the forest and arrived at the entrance of the Pupils' Gate.

Yet even after Murong Kuangbo finished speaking, Guo Qin's brow remained furrowed. At this moment, his inner turmoil was absolute. To him, each of these three treasures possessed an indescribable value. It was only natural that he found it difficult to make a choice between them for the moment.

Lingyun merely nodded slightly to acknowledge the information, offering no further reaction. It was not until he had eaten his fill, rested well, and fully recovered his energy that he abruptly stood up, ignoring Brother Liu's dissuasion, and set off on his own toward the county town.

After a few cups of wine, Yan Mumu's gaze began to drift and blur, and she felt a throbbing fullness inside her head. Her temples grew heavy once again.

With Qian Ming and the other two making such a stunning debut, their class had already saved plenty of face. Even if Ye Ling were to throw a tantrum, she could not possibly stir up any real trouble. Besides, since the two boys and one girl had already demonstrated their strength, would Ye Ling even dare to make a scene?

Therefore, no matter what, she had to make use of this tranquil environment to recuperate her body. If she were to remain barren, she could always resort to a substitution scheme.

Yet up to now, we still haven't figured out what Mr. He's actions imply, nor what kind of sinister conspiracy he is actually plotting.

Unable to find the slightest trace of a clue here, Xiao Junfeng had no choice but to return to the palace. He issued an order for the imperial guards to search outside, instructing that once the three of them were found, they must be kept under constant surveillance at all times.

With a surge of divine power, the light within the golden ring erupted brilliantly. Swish—like rays of death, the remaining people inside perished miserably in an instant.
