Volume 1, Chapter 67: Emptying Out

Lin Che hurried over, leaving Huo Qiuhe and the others no choice but to follow.

Zhao Wu was currently standing outside a room with a locked door. Within the Marquis's Mansion, everyone knew what was hidden inside such locked rooms.

Hearing the commotion, Liu Kun and the others also ran over, and a crowd gathered at the spot.

"Brother Lin, this door cannot be opened. There must be some profound secret inside!" Zhao Wu knocked against the large iron lock.

Lin Che nodded, then said to Huo Qiuhe, "Open the door!"

"Lin Che, this is a secret of the Liaoyang Marquis's Mansion! Do not go too far!" Huo Wangzhi pointed at him, his nose practically crooked with rage.

"A secret?" Lin Che raised an eyebrow and said, "Everyone has heard it..."

"Therefore, Huo Wangzhi is acquitted and released!" With a wave of Lin Yu's hand, several bailiffs stepped forward to remove the shackles from Huo Wangzhi.

Wei Qizheng and the others were dumbfounded!

Acquitted and released?

Huo Wangzhi was also surprised, but excitement quickly washed over him as he cast a glance at Lin Che.

You still want to frame me? Look at your own weight first!

He knew it! He knew nothing would happen to him!

It must have been his father who came to his rescue!

Shortly after, the world plunged into darkness, and this level of unconsciousness carried a familiar sensation—the very same feeling from when the Hollow Sephiroth had first appeared.

The black flames in the sky gradually dissipated, and the Sovereign of Death appeared somewhat exhausted. After all, a sacrifice burning one's own soul took a massive toll on him. Fortunately, the duration was short and the adversary did not approach, with the majority of the power having been supplied by the other party anyway, allowing him to escape unscathed.

The method by which the Luofu Sect recruited disciples was astonishing. Every time the Luofu Sect opened its mountain gates, they would dispatch mighty experts from among their ranks to various inhabited stars to recruit disciples, and their recruitment methods had long since expanded beyond mere stars.

Longye patted its head, pointed at the two lightning dragons, and asked, "Well, are you confident you can subdue them?" He could tell that the entrance aura of these two lightning dragons was not as terrifying as the Eternal Verdant Lightning, so their origins presumably weren't as frightening as the former's.

"Dad, my best friend says she wants to meet you. Would you like to go over for a visit?" Yuna asked in a spoiled, coaxing tone.

Grandpa Yan also manifested his form in mid-air, appearing as a madman engulfed in raging flames.

"No need to look, he didn't follow us in. What? Were you scared out of your wits by him, to the point where you refuse to trust your own senses?" Liu Yi said with a hint of amusement.

Chen Changsheng sensed carefully, and with a stir of his mind, attempted to continue driving the wormhole, only to find that the entire wormhole not only remained completely motionless, but also unleashed an overbearing backlash of energy that caused him to spit blood and fly backward through the air.

It was as if Tang Rao held a grudge and sought vengeance on the spot every single time, while Leng Pengfei never fought back. When he finally managed to think about retaliating, he couldn't even touch a single hair of Tang Rao's.

"What?" Liang Fengting's expression shifted drastically because he could see that faint veil of light wrapping around them. Lin Feng's killing intent had actually materialized into substance? Why was this happening?

My tears could not help but flow down from my right eye socket, while my left eye remained parched and dry. No matter how foolish or stupid I was, I understood that this past event being told was precisely about the Young Master.

After Lian Yisheng departed, only the Empress remained inside the secret chamber. In the dark room, she clenched her fingers tightly as memories gradually surged up, stirring a wave of lingering chill.

No wonder she hadn't taken his video call; she must have been afraid of Lu Jingyu seeing it and letting wild thoughts take root in his mind again, right?

After finishing the meal, Xie Qiyuan offered to drive Qiao Nuo home. Qiao Nuo originally didn't want to trouble her, but Xie Qiyuan was very insistent, leaving Qiao Nuo with nothing more to say.

Emperor Yongxian let out a cold snort, folded his arms across his chest, and leaned back, adopting a posture of pure, cold detachment as a bystander.

She instinctively let out a sharp cry, then hurriedly gathered her collar together and smoothed down her hair before nervously looking around in all directions.

Right at that moment, amidst the bustling and clamoring street, a steady voice suddenly rang out, clear and distinct to the ear.

Upon calming down to think about it just now, Chu Cunan's status in Western Chu was not low, and it was very likely that she had married into the Northern You Palace, making them family. Killing her at this juncture would yield no benefits whatsoever.

Jiuge stared at him in silence without speaking. First, because she did not know what to say, and second, because she was desperately suppressing the rising blood within her chest. A fishy sweetness had already climbed up to her throat, and the moment she opened her mouth, she would lose control.

Xuan Yuqi felt no surprise upon seeing the Aoyue brothers; calculating the time, they should have arrived.

"It's fine, they are all just a bit too mischievous. If they were here, there'd be no way to eat in peace," I said with a smile.
