Volume 1, Chapter 39: Bandits or Saviors?

They did not travel far before arriving at the residence of Grand Minister Tian Dan. After the servants announced their arrival, they entered the main hall of the Tian estate.
On the arena, Niu Daode felt extremely irritated as he watched Lei Zhenzi, Nezha, Jinzha, and Huang Tianhua charge in wielding their spirit treasures.
The Ninth Prince, seeing his saviors, immediately regained his arrogant and domineering demeanor. With his only remaining hand, he pointed accusingly at Su Zhan, the Great Strength Bull Demon, Su Chen, and Qi Tian.
Shen Yang walked out of the lounge, her mind feeling somewhat hazy. She had always been highly guarded, yet she had actually felt drowsy in that room.
Fang Jianbai hurried to follow her to the door. Inside the room, apart from a bed, a cupboard, and some basic furniture, there was nothing else.
If Su Chen had only produced one nine-pattern pill, it might not have signified much, but he had brought out hundreds. Lin Han dared not provoke such a person.
The battle for the palace gates was on the verge of breaking out. Of the four gates of the palace—East, West, South, and North—the Meridian Gate was under the most pressure. Zhu Yuanyi looked at the endless waves of rebel soldiers, cold sweat trickling down his forehead. What could be done?
Therefore, I must visit the Trial Forest personally, though this trip will require many expensive supplies.
The original owner of the body had thought nothing of it, but now that Lin Yan saw the person, the memories surfaced. How could he not know what the old man had come for this time?
He had chosen to commit suicide without hesitation. What immense resolve that required! It could only mean one thing: the person who ordered him held a status so lofty that he dared not offend them, or perhaps Cao Liang was as loyal to his masters as a death-sworn soldier.
Although Li Shuyu appeared to be of Eastern descent, she did not face discrimination. After all, it seemed that other Easterners had arrived in this world before, so her exchange of gold proceeded smoothly, much to her relief.
By now, Li Shuyu could feel the pull of another world—likely the Immortal Realm. Having settled all her affairs in this world, she felt no reluctance; she followed the pull of the other world and ascended directly.

Of course, the survivors did not complain about sharing a room. In these times, having a safe environment was already a blessing, and they were quite content.
"Mom, look at this. This is a water-spraying device. When the snow gets too thick, just press this button, and it will be fine." Wang Dong demonstrated it once. It was quite simple, and within minutes, Liu Xia had learned how to use it.
After a brief moment of stupefaction, the thought "This must be fake" raced through their minds. Some even blurted it out, and the sudden buzzing of whispers drew the dissatisfaction of Zhi Wei.
After all, Deng Hu was a legitimate commander of ten thousand in the Black-Clad Army, leading seven thousand soldiers. If he were to fall in battle, his troops would inevitably face rout. And in that event, Zhao Jiu, the commander of the operation, would surely face severe punishment.
The Wall Street Stock Exchange seemed to have been throttled by a giant's hand; it was as if everyone had collectively lost their voices.
The mere thought that Zuo Jing might be some kind of "tool" created by You Xue left him with an indescribable sense of revulsion.
He and the Seventh Prince were both princes of the Imperial Court, representing the face and dignity of the Northern Frontier Imperial Court. If they were humiliated, the Court itself would lose all face.
Bai Zhi chuckled, said "Let's go," and snapped his fingers. The Blue Lantern descended instantly, landing in front of the villa.
Chen Sheng smiled indifferently, happy to take the opportunity to step down from the tension. He nodded and said, "Fine, it wasn't a big deal to begin with." This remark made Han Cheng feel as if he were vomiting blood.
Zhang Liang's pupils contracted sharply. After hearing those two cries, he could no longer maintain his previous composure.
Fortunately, this farce had ended, as things had reached a point beyond control. Wang Feng truly did not know how to advise these people, but thankfully, Tian Zhan regained his reason in time to prevent the tragedy.
Peacock, Sixteen Nights, Raging Dragon, Purple Robe, and the sisters Purple Snow sat at the table. At the head of the desk, in the seat reserved for the meeting chair, sat a man in his forties—a Major General of the People's Liberation Army.

He hated that big-mouthed man the most. Why did your mouth have to be so big? With that shout, everyone on the top floor knew.
Liefeng realized what was happening and immediately joined the attack, swinging his fists with all his might toward Chen Sheng.
"Leader, Vice Leader, my profession is Shadow Assassin; I am not suited for large-scale defensive warfare, but I can use stealth to scout the enemy's situation. Let me go!" Red Dust Has Tears said.
Watching Yan Yu leave, Lu Tianxiang felt both excited and nervous. The road ahead was destined to be incredibly arduous, but the goal was surely bright.
The pressure intensified once more. Zhan Hen was already drenched in sweat, his heart trembling with fear! Yet Lin Yang remained as calm as if nothing were happening, his expression unchanged.
"Wu Ling, what are you doing?" Li Fan looked at Wu Ling, who was also carrying luggage, with a furrowed brow and a bewildered expression.
Living with Xu Zhu now, she did not feel it was bad at all. Xu Zhenhai and Bai Jing could not interfere, and she and Xu Zhu were quite at ease, with no burdens to worry about.
Zong Qi, blinded by joy, had forgotten that Lei Yao and Lei Li were also heirs of the Lei family. She had forgotten that in this world, would anyone really be so kind as to share their own benefits with others?
Chu Xun seemed to have said during the day that the portrait was not on his person. Where could it be now?
Gou Jing tried to roll away to escape, but Old Bear grabbed her back with one move. Looking at Shen Yucheng, since she was too dirty to eat, he would have to settle for her. He started with her arm.
