Chapter 151: The Martial Judge

Spitting out fragments of iron, Zhong Shou patted the goose-egg-sized wound on his heavily muscled chest and let out a derisive chuckle, acting as if he felt no pain at all.

Cui Yu's gaze lingered between Bai Xian and the City God Temple for a moment before he spoke.

"I'll leave this side to you. I'm going to deal with Guo Rui and the Impermanence Ghost."

Although the methods of both the civil and martial judges and Divine Doctor Guo would inevitably lead to the collapse of the ghost domain and send a hundred thousand resentful ghosts into the mortal world, the ultimate goal of Cui Yu and Zhong Shou was—

Having become emperor, it had been a very, very long time since he last had a chance to show off in front of his old brothers.

Yet, as she embraced a man she had never embraced before at such close range for the very first time, speaking words of voluntary surrender—especially in the dead of night when the two of them were completely alone—Song Yuwei did not know if she was right, but she knew that at this moment, this was what she should do.

Although the people Yao Defa brought with him were few in number, they were not to be trifled with, and the two sides immediately formed a standoff. A silent gunpowder smoke permeated all around, the oppressive and heavy atmosphere threatening to erupt at any second.

Fumbling for the doorknob, Yun Chu gently pushed the door open. To facilitate nighttime rounds, the elderly residents' rooms were never locked.

Her gaze shifting to land on Yu Nian, Mu Fanqin cut straight to the point and said, "The two of you teamed up to set a trap for Jiang Yuanhan. Aren't you truly afraid of retaliation from Jiang Yuanhan's parents?"

Only now did he finally understand why Yu Nian had been unwilling to join the video game parlor gambling business and insisted instead on running the Lantu Club, which faced the constant threat of bankruptcy. The income from just these past two days was enough to crush a whole year's revenue of the video game parlor. Who would bother with such a high-risk business as a video game parlor where one could end up in prison at any moment?

As long as Bai Ye felt the slightest displeasure, laying waste to this place and killing everyone out of the game would be as easy as flipping a hand.

He looked around and found that the center of the massive stadium had already been set up with a stage, and an endless stream of spectators was already entering the audience stands through the ticket checkpoints.

The Yu Nian before him made Xu Kangsong feel as though he were looking at his own beloved grandson, Xu Lei, yet Xu Kangsong knew very well that the child in front of him was not Xu Lei.

That sense of chivalry would forever remain locked deep within their hearts, waiting for the moment it was needed, to finally burst forth and bloom as brilliantly as fireworks.

Lin Yan was startled inwardly, but at such close range, it was too late to change his stance, so he managed to raise his left hand just in time to block his heart. Not far away, Lin Fan and Lin Feng also sensed that something was terribly wrong, and the two of them instantly shot forward like arrows.

After the purple mist led that strand of spiritual consciousness energy back into the dantian, it once again began to circulate along the meridians, instantly permeating every part of Yun Yifei's body.

"Transfer this money to my other card, and I'll give it to you." Having said this, Liang Chen handed the third bank card to Zhao Nannan.

"Alright, I'll go right now. You can rest assured about Bai Dian'er," Changsun Lian'er nodded, offering no extra words. However, she transmitted a list to Ye Qingmei via the communicator.

Before long, that cultivator stopped struggling and ceased his miserable screams. The other cultivators watched helplessly as he was scorched black, and even burned into flying ashes, dissipating completely into nothingness.

Yet these spirit beasts were different; many of them had rushed over long beforehand. But when they discovered that their opponents possessed overwhelming numbers, all the spirit beasts displayed an extraordinary tacit understanding, choosing instead to wait around the perimeter while keeping a watchful eye on the situation inside the spirit stone mine.

Now Wang Xiaoli understood; Du Meimei must have asked Liang Chen for help, leaving Liang Chen with no choice but to go. Otherwise, Baozi would never have seen Du Meimei pressed against Liang Chen's chest and remained completely indifferent.

"The Li brothers of Pinglu bear the crime of rebelling against the court, and their family's destruction and ruin are imminent. As a vanguard for the court, I can no longer afford to let personal affections stand in the way," Cui Gongdu replied decisively.

Mixed in the crowd, Gao Yue even spotted an imperial student who, while weeping profusely, accidentally let a wooden gambling disk tumble out from inside his robes. Terrified, the student turned pale and hurriedly scooped it back up before Yang Wan could notice.

Xiao Mowei began to ponder whether combining various different energies with the power of the fire element might give rise to other unknown forms of flame.
