Chapter 29: I Want a Divorce

“Do you call that searching?” The pool was not deep, but anyone would be frightened after suddenly falling into it.

“Look at how angry our great beauty is.” Gu Linzhou’s voice took on a coaxing note. “All right, all right, I was wrong, okay?” As he spoke, he reached out to take Fu Luoning’s hand.

Fu Luoning pulled away. “Get lost. Don’t touch me.”

His attempt to placate her met with a cold response, and Gu Linzhou was becoming displeased as well. “Why are you making such a fuss? You didn’t even fall in. Besides, you…”

Caster reasoned that, judging by the situation, even if they wanted to withdraw now, the other side probably would not let them leave. Her magic surged, and the cloak around her body fluttered up like a bat as she rose into the air.

In a world like this, the existence of such a major city as Greymon City was truly astonishing.

Just as Feng Xiaoxiao was beginning to feel awkward, Yi Han placed both her hands upon his shoulders.

After the car overturned and came to a stop upside down below the roadside, there was no movement for a long while. I was just about to rush down and see what had happened when Lu Wushi’s remnant soul drifted out through the shattered window and gestured for me not to come closer.

Wasn’t the Gu-Competition supposed to stop once one side had gained the advantage? Wulun’s soul had already left his body—wasn’t the witch going to do anything about it?

Sword-light continued to rain down like a violent storm, striking again and again. All Li Tian could do beneath such an onslaught was retreat, step after step.

Whoosh! Jiang Dong did not linger. He shot out of the cave at once, only to run straight into the blockade formed by Feng Yuxi and the other two. They had already plundered every hidden cavern, and now it was time to deal with Jiang Dong.

Fortunately, the ghost of the worker who led the others had said that, because the villagers had been subjected to spells and incantations, it would not be easy for them to harm anyone. But when I considered that these thirteen ghosts, like me, were hidden from the villagers’ sight, I still felt that matters would not be easy.

After the previous match had been so breathtakingly magnificent, the matches that followed, though astonishing in their own right, lacked the same perilous excitement.

“Indeed, fortune hides within misfortune, and misfortune leans upon fortune,” Jiang Dong murmured to himself. Having survived the calamity, he felt none of the elation he had expected, only an extreme calm. He was weighing whether to risk pressing onward or retreat to the stone archway.

At that moment, Ding Li led a squad of men down from the mountain. While arranging the surrendered soldiers, he personally received Qielimi and Qiang Wanhua. Once the two had been reassured, the situation became even more stable.

Ouyang Yanqing pointed toward Bao Tiantian, greatly surprising Lin Feng. He hurried forward and looked Bao Tiantian over carefully, which left her somewhat embarrassed. Bao Tiantian extended her left hand and said,

Lin Feng gazed firmly at Bai Linger. She gave him a faint smile, and Lin Feng was momentarily lost in thought before speaking.

As soon as these words were uttered, everyone erupted into an uproar, each person standing there dumbfounded. That was no ordinary stroke of luck.

“I’ll investigate everything thoroughly when I return.” Angel reached out and took the golden blade, then bent down to pick up the Blade Emperor Token from the ground. She turned to leave at once. As for those disciples, she could not save them. She could not bear to watch them die just like that, but perhaps leaving as quickly as possible was the best choice.

Hei Da’s eyes were blood-red. The murderous intent within him erupted without the slightest concealment, causing the temperature here to drop faintly.

Originally, the Eighth Elder had intended to let Su Chi heal his wounds first, then, once Su Chi proved unable to do so, seize the opportunity to lose his temper and thereby extinguish the Ye family’s desire to find anyone else to treat him. That was why the old man had deliberately called him a fraud, laying the groundwork for his outburst in advance.

“Let’s go over there and take a look first.” Leng Yi pointed toward the direction where the battle was most intense.

“Hahaha, Cao Xing, there’s no need to be nervous. I understand Ziyi’s character very well. Besides, since they sent you back to report, they naturally intended for you to tell me everything. Surely they wouldn’t expect you to hide anything from me?” Liu Tianhao reassured Cao Xing once more.
