Chapter 163: Escaping the Thunderstorm Zone

"Trying to escape? Prepare to meet your maker!"
True Immortal Ziyang stepped through the air, transforming into a streak of purple light that shot forward.

Upon entering the thunderstorm zone, Shen Xin no longer dared to use teleportation.
He feared that teleporting might land him directly in the path of a lightning bolt, which would spell absolute disaster.

Meng Jiao firmly believed that Shiyao could pull it off; otherwise, how else could this colossal Tower of Return have been built?

This annoying man was actually learning how to keep people in suspense. Hmph, how hateful! But she wouldn't bother with him anyway. The first two tasks were already outrageous enough, and a third task would be utterly catastrophic. Therefore, as soon as he finished saving the person, she needed to run away immediately.

Seeing the commotion breaking out among the crowd below, the chubby man didn't get angry at all. Instead, he simply raised a hand in a gesture for everyone to be quiet.

Hua Xingcan specifically called home to ask Zhao Li for leave, claiming she wanted to hang out with a classmate and would return tomorrow.

This subtle expression did not escape Shi Shengde's eyes, and a triumphant smile appeared on his slightly aged face.

It was the first time for both Lou Man and the county magistrate to engage in battle with so many Xiongnu soldiers. Lou Man had followed Nanyan into battle against the Xianbei tribes many times and possessed some combat experience. Although the county magistrate held absolute power over life and death within his jurisdiction, he had never led troops into battle. Back when the Yellow Turban Rebellion raged, the scourge of war had never spread as far as Guangning County.

Though scolded, Zhang Jiaze felt secretly delighted inside. The more Song Yazhu acted this way, the more it proved she was a good wife willing to share both joys and sorrows with her husband. What grounded man wouldn't love such a wife?

"Zhou Hao, Du Ruo, is there something you need from me?" Shiyao emerged from behind the main hall and took a seat upon the high chair at the front.

Miao Ke-ti was plagued by a terrible premonition. Could someone actually be charging in here to capture her?

And so, the tiny dream of buying a house that had just ignited within him slowly extinguished once again.

Back then, the sect leader had no choice but to descend the mountain personally to recruit disciples, and he was gone for five full years.

Lin Xiao's words made Mu Aoxue look at him in a new light, though it was just a fleeting glance. Although his words were filled with determination, persistence, and dominance, in her view, this was merely a psychological tactic he was using to banish his own fear.

"Does Brother Yan truly suspect that I did this? Does Brother Yan not trust me?" Hua Nongyue walked over, yet she had no idea how to explain herself.

Originally, quite a few people in Qingyuan Township believed the mayor's seat would undoubtedly go to Li Gouwa. Since Li Gouwa was capable and served as the deputy mayor, both reason and sentiment dictated he should succeed the position. However, so much time had passed, and the county government had yet to make any official statement appointing him. Clearly, there was a problem here.

"That's not bad either. With this matter consuming their energy, I imagine Canglan won't pose a threat to 'Jade' Han for a short while." Mu Qingya breathed a sigh of relief inwardly; the plague had dragged on for far too long, and being able to resolve it now was naturally the best outcome.

Curiosity welled up inside me. Isn't this Tang Youran? There are no outsiders here, so why is she acting so stealthy?

To his utter astonishment, before he could even draw his gun fully, Leisheng had already dispatched the guards surrounding him, and a seemingly flawless hand mercilessly clamped around his neck.

"Not you? Heh, who do you think you are, the Mother of the Nation? By what virtue and qualification do you imagine you can ascend to that supreme position?" Zhao铎 laughed out of extreme anger, feeling more disappointed than ever. He had originally thought she truly realized her mistakes and recognized her proper place, but he never expected she still harbored so many calculating thoughts.

"It's just that the mystery surrounding Master Zhu's death—a question that has plagued me for so long—has finally been unraveled. This time, Zhu Yi should finally be convinced of my abilities!" Hua Nongyue hadn't thought that far ahead; it turned out his sole purpose was to win Zhu Yi's sincere admiration. Perhaps he didn't want to be branded as a good-for-nothing playboy by others after all.
