Wei Zhao focused his gaze and swept it across the scene, and found that between this energy seed and the dragon beast's primal spirit there were indeed countless threads of connection, and the degree of that connection was already far from shallow.
Even though it had not yet reached the stage of formal acknowledgment of a master, the moment the energy seed stirred even slightly, the dragon beast was at once in unbearable agony, utterly unable to resist.
"Surely this will do?"
Chen Shili glanced at the Lord of Tianyu, and felt somewhat more settled at heart.
No matter what, so long as this energy seed remained in his grasp, the dragon beast could never slip from the palm of his hand.
Whether it stayed at his side...
Although he had dismissed Huo Weihua from office, the Chongzhen Emperor did hold firm against the calls to confiscate Huo Weihua's property and exterminate his entire clan, and instead let him return home in peace.
"My lord, why not go and rest a while!" Liu Qianhu looked at Gao Siqi's swollen eyes and urged him with concern.
That man in black was no government officer at all, nor any secret agent sent by the Lord Admiral to investigate the Golden Lion and the cudgel—he too was out to prey on his own kind.
What was worse, some, with streams of snot and tears, knelt before them and kowtowed begging for mercy until their heads were split and bleeding, yet won not the slightest compassion—one stroke of the sword and head parted from body, and in those eyes that would not close in death there remained, to the very end, terror.
The Daoists who had come along numbered four or five hundred, and the laymen another four or five hundred; after passing through several stretches of mountain forest, ahead of them there were actually Daoists checking identities.
A man of established fame already has a weapon of established fame in hand—if you still dare to be careless before him, you would be lucky indeed to escape with your life.
The two exchanged a glance, and Wei Yun's eyes were full of helplessness toward Wei Cai'er. The Wei family's circumstances were already hard enough, and yet Wei Cai'er still set so little store by the family's good name, helping outsiders scheme against her own kin.
After all, he did not know whether he could get out if the entrance were sealed; and if he could not, he and Lina would be trapped here forever.
Tunfeng's death had not succeeded in stopping the remaining Flame Tribe clansmen from leaping down after him; in but a moment, an old man jumped down as well.
I looked at the Blood Bodhi as though I were looking at my mortal enemy. I began to climb upward along the branches and leaves, and took the gold ring from Xu Zhong's hand. Even on the verge of death he had clutched the gold ring tightly, and this only made my grief and fury burn the hotter.
He Wei was unwilling to keep up the pretense with her any longer. "There, that's settled now, isn't it? I'm leaving." Only to Nie Jingchen did she owe an apology—this time she feared she could be of no help. She could endure it no longer; it was truly going too far. Because of one Song Jiashu her life had been thrown into utter chaos—by what right?
When Li Mengmeng was not in sight, Yan Jinchen was perfectly normal, as though nothing had ever happened.
And yet these words were indeed the words in the depths of her heart—so was it that, when drunk, she liked to ramble out the thoughts she kept hidden away?
But she knew clearly too that, as a soldier, where duty called, when Xu needed her she could not possibly refuse to go.
Because the original host had at the time loved Sun Zijian with utter devotion, she had unfortunately become the target of Sun Zijian's grave deception.
The moment the name Chu Xiao drifted from Gongluo Yingying's lips, a certain cultivator's handsome brows knitted in impatience.
