Volume 1, Chapter 47: Set Forth Immediately, March North to Resist Cao!

"This... this is the bamboo-tube thunder!"
Zhao Li's face was full of astonishment, and he could barely speak coherently.

As the commander-in-chief, Li Jing naturally cared deeply for the nation's borders, cities, and soldiers, and had never involved himself in such petty and filthy scheming. However, having shifted his attitude toward Xu Zhen from secret displeasure to appreciation and favor, he was just thinking of promoting him when, precisely at this crucial moment, these people resorted to such open and covert conspiracies, which truly made one's heart grow cold.

"Roar... roar..." Perhaps sensing that his doom was near, the roars emitted by Bu Wenwen were filled with terror. Yet, facing these boundless corpses and fiends, he was utterly helpless.

A myriad of images flashed through Jiang Cen's mind in an instant. Could it be an attempt to poison him to death? Ah well! Eat it—even if it is poison, I must eat it.

Though saying this, the hand of the King of Knights was already gripping the "Invisible Sword".

The reporters had no time for deep reflection, because Dick had already pulled Torres down to sit; it was now time for questions.

Yet someone's heart was heavy with sorrow. Lagging behind the army, solely scanning the battlefield littered with corpses, her eyes welled up with tears on their own. It was none other than Li Wushuang, who had accompanied the troops.

The philosophy of the Supreme Primordial Scripture flowed wildly through his mind and heart, every word like a priceless pearl, every phrase carrying the supreme principles of the Great Dao. He chanted it over and over again, supporting his own consciousness, sustaining an indomitable belief, and continuously climbing upward. Even if he were to die, he would die on the path of advancement.

As soon as these words were uttered, the others instantly felt drained of all strength, turning their heads away with their shoulders shaking violently; even Grandia was no exception.

"You may think it's a joke, but I don't. The fact is that I lost that duel, and I must bear the consequences of losing. Even if you were to put shackles on me, I would not shrink back because of it," Liang Qianqian said earnestly.

Yang Zhao laughed heartily, took Fan Qinghui's delicate hand, and said, "Since they've put it that way, let's not let down this kind intention. There are many sights to see on the island, let's go out for a walk." Hand in hand, he led her directly out of the Wuji Cave.

Just as this unbelievable thought arose in Chu Minglang's mind, a person behind the cottage was practicing the sword. The light footsteps and the soft sound of sword-swishing reminded Chu Minglang of scenes from his early childhood.

"What about you? Are you afraid of snakes? Just now I thought you were going to burst into tears," Ye Mingke asked with a hint of curiosity.

He listened, while drinking wine, to the story of the wandering knight who took a nap under a Sophora tree and woke up to become the governor of Nanke Commandery in the Kingdom of Huainan, experiencing a lifetime of prosperity and turbulence in a dream.

"Red Boy, your father is also here in this Hidden Heaven Secret Burial; perhaps before long, the two of you will cross paths," Qin Xuan said, looking at Red Boy.

"Sui Yiyi, what do you mean? Do you think that just because you've become the boss, you can truly call the shots in the General's Mansion?" Aunt Xu said with a furious expression, hurling angry abuses straight at Sui Yiyi.

Ye Mingke's figure, which had been walking slowly before, suddenly distorted. He threw himself into the wind and snow, prowling and sprinting forward with a fierce gaze, biting down on that long blade. The arrow gripped in his right hand was forcefully scattered forward into the wind and snow above.

Zhao Xinmiao's expression was also less than pleasant, and she remained silent throughout, obviously knowing that with their abilities, it was simply impossible to find Zhao Erxuan, who possessed both high-level martial arts and the disguise gu.

Just as his vision darkened and he could no longer hold on, a figure—not particularly tall and even somewhat slender—stood in front of him, blocking all the incoming pressure.

Why suddenly investigate the Su family? Lu Zhan felt a bit puzzled. Over all these years, the Li family had poured a lot of money into the Su family; whether it was the enterprise or the family structure, everything had already been quite clear during the investment due diligence.
