Chapter 76 The Focus of Everyone’s Attention

“Wei, you’re my dearest, most irreplaceable friend.”
“…”
She pushed Liu Ruyan away. “I suspect you’re just taking advantage of me on purpose.”
“Hehe, you caught me.”
“…” It was so obvious—she’d be a fool not to notice!
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Ruyan pointed at Li Jingchen.
“He’s here too. Did you send him an invitation?”
“It was probably the Feng family. They have half the rights to invite guests.” Li Jingchen’s presence here—
“Lay him to rest!” A heavy, mournful voice echoed as the emperor’s body was about to be prepared for the funeral. Suddenly, someone called out, “Wait!” Everyone looked on in confusion, only to see the empress, expression solemn, staring fixedly at the golden nanmu coffin inlaid with dragons.
Hearing that Dong Huang had not drowned, a flicker of disappointment flashed across Zhang Ji’s eyes, while Dong Bai let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Su Zhe used the money to recruit and train men, eventually gathering more than one hundred fifty strong young men to form his own private force.
Qian Jiujiao was momentarily stunned, glancing at the emperor. When she saw him wink at her, she understood at once—tonight, they had prepared quite the spectacle, all for the purpose of bestowing her with rewards.
“Then let’s return to our true forms.” As he looked at the other’s towering, house-sized figure, the White Tiger began to revert to his original form as he spoke.
He was going to Pingyang to quell the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and he couldn’t go without soldiers. Even if he could recruit local militia upon arrival, he still needed a force loyal to himself. Otherwise, venturing alone into the war-torn chaos of Pingyang, he’d likely be killed by bandits before even reaching the county seat.
At first, the leader was skeptical, wondering how the princess could possibly know that evildoers were hiding nearby. Unexpectedly, there really were some, prompting him to act decisively.
Qiao Ruan smiled faintly, ceasing her conversation with the two creatures, and continued walking forward, holding her son’s hand.
Having received the promise she sought, Xu Rongrong clung tightly to Pei Moyan’s large hand and then closed her eyes.
Suddenly, rain began to fall, and the traffic gradually dispersed. In no time, Huo Jingyan’s blue sports car was parked steadily at the gate of Lin Zien’s home.
However, judging by the timeline, it was impossible for Wang Shengli to have taken the phoenix-patterned brocade box, because before their departure, the infected had already emerged from the Valley of Empty Mountains, meaning they’d obtained the box before safely entering the underground palace.
The souls of these Yama ghosts were ensnared, unable to enter the halls of the underworld. On our side, thanks to Feng Wu, our morale surged, and our fighting style was far more agile than theirs, so naturally, their fate was annihilation.
I think the people of the celestial realm are just like bureaucrats—arrogant, domineering, and self-important. It’s as if they’re doing you a favor just by speaking to you. Their lofty airs are truly nauseating.
Yet, even so, Qin Hao did not falter. Instead, with a resolute and stubborn expression, he pressed on toward the palace.
I breathed a sigh of relief as my car finally left the city center behind, heading toward the outskirts. I decided not to bother with highways or regular roads, but instead took to grasslands, sandy paths, and even mountain trails, finally stopping for a breather beside a bamboo grove.
At this moment, one of the Seven-Eyed Ghost King’s eyes glowed a shimmering emerald, casting a cold, eerie light as he walked through the twisting, labyrinthine passageways.
The moonlight spilled icy and silent over the earth. No matter what transpired in this world, its light would always remain so cold and tranquil. Du Run’s sobs and her heart-wrenching cries reverberated through the vast palace chambers, echoing in Tang Yun’s heart as well.
This was the divine dragon blood merging into the Dragon Emperor’s lineage, making Qin Hao’s body increasingly formidable. The sounds that issued forth were the very noise of transformation taking place within him.
