Chapter 80: The Young Martial God

Xiao Kejie’s furious roar was filled with murderous intent.

Yet Chen Yang simply sipped his tea at leisure, a faint smile playing on his lips. “Miss Mingyue, he’s threatening to kill me. What do you think should be done about that?”

At this moment, Xiao Guofan finally discerned the situation. He frowned and said, “Second Miss, this…”

Xiao Mingyue’s face remained cold...

In the distance, the Yan cavalry drew closer. A cold gleam crept into Song Qi’s eyes as beads of sweat, as large as beans, rolled down his forehead. Anxiously, he whispered urgent orders for the Song army to gather and stand ready against the approaching Yan cavalry. Alone, he knew he could never withstand them.

With a shift of their forms, the loose immortals immediately turned into streams of light, rushing swiftly toward the gates of the barrier.

“This is the betrothal gift His Majesty has given to Yan’er. On the eighth day of next month, His Majesty himself will come to escort the bride,” Xiao Siwen said indifferently.

“Rest assured! As long as I, Du Yuming, am here, I will ensure the retreat and supply lines for the newly formed Thirteenth Group Army!” Du Yuming promised earnestly.

“Your Majesty, please quell your anger—this subject is incompetent,” Li Ming choked, hastily dropping to his knees. The hundred officials behind him also knelt in fear, dreading implication.

“Stop, I concede!” With the massive hammer bearing down on him and no way to evade or withstand it, Feng Wuming admitted defeat without hesitation.

At this point, Lin Feng understood well: this was a well-planned, organized, and targeted uprising. Whatever reason the enemy had for marching on Yanjing, if no action was taken now, the city would soon face crisis on all sides.

She no longer cared. The night was still young, and Wu Xiao simply flicked on the lights and started a video call to a foreign country. He was leaving tomorrow, and hadn’t yet informed them abroad.

Hearing the familiar voice, Shou Yang relaxed his clenched fist for a moment, stretching lazily and yawning deeply. “What time is it?” he asked, slowly opening his still-drowsy eyes.

“Young Master Bai Jing’s words are reasonable,” Mo Yu remarked with a hint of surprise. After quietly asking others for details, he could only sigh helplessly, turning to Xue Yi and bowing slightly. “Miss Xue Yi, my younger sister is childish and acted rudely.” With that, he cast a sharp glance at Mo Yan.

Liu Tian murmured that name to himself, and as dawn began to break and the haze around him slowly dispersed, the sky remained shrouded in gray.

Just as he was feeling at his most content, the old steward Ye knocked gently and entered with a grave expression. He reported that Princess Yumeng had sent someone with news for the master.

“Grandpa, let me help you look too, all right?” Su Xier let go of Su Zimo’s hand and stumbled to the old man, asking timidly.

Suddenly, divine lights flashed across the sky, sometimes dazzling, sometimes dim, sometimes hidden, all appearing above the Overlord’s Mausoleum.

After parting ways with Long Tianwei, Prince Long returned home elated, unable to contain his excitement, and immediately requested an audience with Old Master Wang.

Seeing Yamamoto Toshio make his move, Yuan Xing’s eyes lit up. He had guessed this man was a master, but had still underestimated his strength. Judging by his swift movements and powerful strikes, he was at least as formidable as Yagyu Minghe—perhaps even stronger.

The young man’s face remained impassive as he watched the oncoming attack. Lifting his right hand, he grasped a blue-gold pill and slammed it down with force.

“What’s wrong? Is it not allowed?” Zheng Ji asked in surprise; no one had mentioned any restrictions when he entered.

But from the look on Chu Tianyu’s face, she clearly couldn’t handle it. The gap between them was simply too vast.

“What is it?” Kan Qingxue was not one to listen; though she had been told not to move, she still turned to look at Chen Yi.

Zhu Anlin maintained surveillance around Bai Benxiang’s parents and three sisters’ residences, dispatching personnel to Sanchuan Gongcheng to conduct investigations.
