Chapter 62: Pulled into an Embrace

Right now, An Dehai, who was attending to Zhang Chong, also noticed that the Emperor seemed a bit unusual today. He was usually full of high spirits and drive, so why was he wearing such a deeply troubled expression today?

Having failed to persuade them, Xu Xu could not do anything to the two of them for the time being, so she could only continue her training with a sense of dissatisfaction.

After so many years, although she had forgotten most of the details inside, she still retained a somewhat vague impression of certain phrases.

She stared at the message he sent, as if thinking of something. Her gaze shifted upward, landing on the nickname she had set for him.

However, recalling Su Yan's previous cold attitude, she shook her head immediately and remained silent.

"No, really, thank you, Sister Lacie," Lu Xichen said with a gentle smile, lightly pushing the whitening powder back.

Hearing Gu Tinghe's words, Feng He could not help feeling a surge of wild joy. As long as precious Pearl could be replaced, she would be able to take the stage herself.

Zhong Chuyun had already arranged things with the hospital beforehand. The hospital staff were all ordinary people who were simply in no position to provoke ancient martial artists, and they knew that no one would step in to manage such matters, so they simply allowed Zhong Chuyun and his party to leave unhindered.

Although Liu Lang possessed no vital energy, a single swing of his staff unleashed a gale so fierce it felt like true vital energy, snapping an entire grove of large trees clean in half.

Prince Gong nodded repeatedly as well, and thus the next itinerary for the Western observation delegation was firmly settled: first, an inspection of the military, followed by a visit to the overseas students.

"I truly dare not look, but not out of fear—rather, out of heartache... What on earth are these..." Xiao Qiuwu felt as though he no longer had the strength to speak.

Su Mushen was in the midst of sweeping the floor. Seeing someone return, he immediately stepped forward and, from a large bag of groceries, accurately fished out a carton of yogurt.

Emperor Donghua maintained his usual profound expression, seeming completely unaffected, which almost caused Bai Zhi beside him to burst from holding in her laughter.

Had it been anyone else, they would have accepted the Creation Whip without a moment's hesitation, but Wang Quan did not dare to take it.

A curved saber rested in a scabbard crafted from pure silver, its hilt inlaid with a single pearl of soft, lustrous sheen.

Having understood the origin of the matter, Yang Chan made a prompt and decisive choice, flying up to the summit of Mount Hua and standing tall amidst the drifting clouds.

"Since you call me Senior Brother, how can this possibly be considered trouble?" Qiao Yu replied with an air of casual indifference.

Bai Zhi countered by accusing Emperor Donghua, making it clear that she held no great reverence for this master of hers.

"How did Nagato end up like this too?" Seeing Xiao Qiuwu return with Nagato, Yahiko and Konan hurried over anxiously to ask.

"Master, I remember when we encountered Meng You in the Poison Dragon Valley, I saw him collecting poisonous pills. Could those poisonous pills be his?" Bai Zhi asked.

"Use your ability less often from now on," Lu Yuqing said, her tone hardening into a rare and affectionate scolding.

All participants in this operation split into two teams: one team advanced ahead toward Shanghai to gather intelligence in secret, while the other headed straight for the capital to target the Chai family.

However, facing the increasingly fierce offensives of the Dao Sect and the Blood Wolf Hall, their depleted ranks and lack of personnel had pushed them to their absolute limit.

Now you have joined a clandestine state project with a dubious and ambiguous identity, and there is a possibility that you could die on any given day.

Just as the two of them became entangled once again, the surrounding Permian family guards rushed in to join the fray.

Breaking through the encirclement was easy, but shaking off these yakshas proved somewhat difficult because every single one of them possessed the ability to flight. Qin Zheng wished he could strap both Chen Lang and Scholar Qu onto his back and run away together.

"Please do not overthink this. We are not doing this for your sake, but for our own. Therefore, should anything go wrong, we shall bear the consequences ourselves." Lin Xiha stepped forward, facing the ruler of a nation without a shred of fear, her imposing momentum not lagging behind in the least.

She had grown close to Fang Ziyun, eating and sleeping together for days past, and naturally knew everyone who had been in contact with Fang Ziyun.

"Very well then, Your Majesty. This humble criminal wishes to know what kind of grievances existed between Your Majesty and my former lord, Liu Bei, and in Your Majesty's eyes, what kind of person is Liu Bei?" Chen Gong nodded, voicing the question that had lingered in his heart.

His meridians appeared to have been shattered previously. No wonder he looked so haggard; his cultivation must have been destroyed by someone, leaving behind chronic internal injuries.

"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Han Xiao grew even more tense, for to him, the Rending Heaven Sect was far more troublesome than the Shadow Pavilion.

Su Su finally understood that she was truly unsuited for such social pleasantries, so she decided to let Lin Tian handle it for her.

Regardless of the cost, Galilee was determined to claim everything here for himself, knowing full well that the treasures hidden within this tomb were worth a king's ransom.

Slightly sensing the condition within his body, Lin Mu sighed inwardly. The giant avian's attack was extremely peculiar; although the severed parts had been reattached, residual spatial-attribute prime energy lingered, preventing Lin Mu from clearing it out quickly.

Konoha was now a fortress easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if Uchiha Madara launched an assault while Zhang Ye was away, they could notify Zhang Ye at the very first moment and have him return to reinforce them.

"It's a team stronghold under my name," He Jiao explained. Lin Mu's absence brought her a slight sense of relief, yet it was tinged with a faint trace of loss.

"Alright, alright, alright. I happen to know a lackey working under the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. I'll contact him right now." Seeing Wu Tian's resolute attitude and knowing he was serious, Wu Dan could only helplessly take out his phone and dial the lackey's number.

Jing Hu did not realize that Lin Tian's divine sense had already locked onto him, and he proceeded with the ambush plan he had meticulously devised.

That purplish-golden thunder descended, transforming into a massive net that crashed down overwhelmingly upon the Nine-Dragon Silkworm.

Double pinwheels bloomed in Zhang Ye's pupils, and a layer of dark red armor instantly enveloped the Nine-Tails.

Golden Horn lowered his crossed arms, leaped high into the air, and rapidly grew in size as he soared.
