Chapter Ninety-One: Setting the Hook

I glanced at Old Wang and said, "Haven’t you heard the saying that careless words can cause death?" In the folklore of Northeast China, there has long been a legend: when entering the mountains, one must not speak recklessly. This is especially true when a group ventures into the mountains together.

When the mountain spirits fixate on the living, they do not always strike immediately. They often linger like wolves watching a flock of sheep, following closely and waiting for the perfect moment to attack.

At such times, if anyone in the group talks nonsense, it could cost their companions their lives.

The elders would illustrate these tales with examples. For instance, someone might mock their companion, saying, "Look at you, what a sorry sight—getting tired after just a few steps, look at your face..."

Fred “Iron Fist” possessed a remarkably powerful variant ability. In the films, he could barehandedly clash with tank shells, causing the shells to explode inside the barrel and destroying the tank without suffering a scratch himself.

This was not some transformation triggered by a mere thought. Instead, it required meticulous control over every muscle, tissue, and cell in the body, achieved through subtle conscious regulation. Chen Mo had to carefully manage it step by step; it was a highly complex process.

“Then… can I see your injuries?” Mu Lixiao hesitated but finally asked. After all, Yu Feng probably hadn’t had a chance to properly tend to his wounds during their journey.

Within Xingqing Palace, Huangfu Sheng wore a troubled expression. Last night, he learned from the screening that Mu Shuo was mobilizing troops from Sanfeng Ridge. He immediately sent people to hide outside the Prime Minister’s residence, planning to wait for Mu Shuo’s return and then surround the estate.

The last time Qi Qi was falsely accused of killing her own father, it was Lawyer Cheng who helped. Lawyer Cheng’s demeanor left a deep impression on Xia Ru Xue, who even researched his background thoroughly and discovered just how formidable he truly was.

This was not the scene Empress Dowager Zhao wished to see. She had already suffered a setback with Mu Lixiao. If this time Feng Shuyan was colluding with Huangfu Sheng to deceive her, she might meet a tragic end.

In fact, some people with exceptional constitutions retain their abilities well into their sixties and seventies. Although rare, it is not unheard of for a man to father a child at seventy.

What should have been a normal cultivation process unexpectedly awakened another pathway in Yanbei’s practice of the Zhou Tian method.

Seeing Han Yue Qiao glance anxiously at herself before quickly looking away, Deng Deng’s curiosity piqued as he continued to stare at Han Yue Qiao once she averted her gaze.

“What!? Impossible!” The gray-robed elder’s complexion darkened, and with a swift movement, he dodged the attack. His expression grew grim, clearly shocked by Xuan Qing’s strength far beyond his expectations.

Wei Yilin’s eyes narrowed. His fairy companion was bent over, unable to dodge Uchiha Madara’s assault. In this critical moment, he resorted to the rarely used Gang Jin force.

The Minister of Defense stubbornly wanted to continue the investigation, but no matter how deep he delved, the results were the same: insufficient clearance. Apart from publicly available information, the core documents remained completely inaccessible.

After the Sixth Mechanized Infantry Brigade of Pudong successfully landed at Yujia Bay under the cover of the fleet, the Central Army’s Anjun launched an offensive on the east bank of the Huangpu River.

“Well? Have you made up your mind?” Luo Ya, witnessing Princess Kaguya’s expression, felt a pang of frustration. This situation made him feel like a pimp forcing someone into a life of vice.

“Precarious as walking on thin ice? Isn’t Liu Bei’s army there? It’s definitely safer than Jingzhou City…” Yi Ji chuckled silently but kept his thoughts to himself.

“Tonight, you go to your room alone. No peeking. Otherwise, don’t bother meeting me again.” With that, the hypocritical white lotus turned and left without looking back.

If not for the generals steadfastly holding the line, several lieutenant generals would have surely died from the recent attack.

“Right here!” Ling Tian came to a halt, gazing out over the vast barren plains. With a grand sweep of his hand, the earth trembled as towering walls hundreds of feet high rose from the ground, enclosing a city that could accommodate hundreds of millions.

Though he said it, Lin Feng still felt uneasy and personally contacted the organizer to have the event canceled.

Fortunately, there were many people at the entrance. The two guards hadn’t noticed me yet, so I quickly turned and walked back. Besides the main gate, there was no other way in.

“Doctor Su, just say what medicinal herbs you need. I’ll have them prepared immediately!” Feng Jiyong’s excitement was barely contained as he rubbed his hands. With the old master Feng’s injuries on the mend, the eldest son of the Feng family, who had borne great pressure since taking over as head, was the happiest of all.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Liang Ziyan’s eyes. Was Nangong Qing proposing an exchange? But since Nangong Qing held that jade pendant, it meant he surely knew Nangong Lie’s whereabouts.

Within the vast inner space of the Four Soul Jade, Qu Ling was utterly panicked. Even though he had poured centuries of accumulated malevolence into the Giant Wolf’s soul, the opponent seemed completely unaffected by the destructive evil energy.

Those around them stood dumbfounded. Although everyone knew Lin Feng’s skills were formidable, none had witnessed it firsthand. Now, having seen his prowess with their own eyes, they were deeply shaken.

Blood Song swiftly moved, scooping up Ailusa in a flash. With a flash of golden light—Flying Thunder God—Blood Song and Ailusa had already arrived inside the Void Night Palace, in Blood Song’s room.

The crisp clang of metal rang out continuously as Li Dou successfully deflected the giant sword’s blade. The massive weapon crashed into the sandy ground of the park, triggering an enormous explosion that sent sand and gravel flying in all directions.
