Chapter 60: The Little Sorceress

As his cultivation grew stronger, the speed at which he absorbed spiritual energy increased as well...

At dawn, the first pale light stretched across the horizon.

Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting golden glint flashing in their depths. The more than fifty spirit stones arrayed before him had all turned to piles of ashen dust.

He felt the power coursing through his body...

Just as this voice rang out, a crisp mechanical click sounded from the secret room beyond the glass curtain wall. Ning Hao immediately pulled Li Xianming behind the thick glass door.

“Hmph, Li Ping, if General Gao doesn’t know you, does that mean I don’t either? I’ve been a loyal guard to Lord Chen for eight years—never expected you’d be the one to betray us!” one of the guards shouted.

“Father, I can’t say. No matter what, those two cannot be together. I will stop this from happening at any cost. If you’re worried this will affect relations between the Dragon Clan and the two great sects, I promise I won’t go as a member of the Dragon Clan,” Han Bing replied.

Upon seeing Liu Chong, Li Min hurried to express his abhorrence for the assassins. To demonstrate sincerity and ease Liu Chong’s mind, Li Min also decided to send ten more cattle to Zhang Zi to help settle the refugees.

This completely upended their understanding, yet the hot air balloon remained suspended in mid-air, undeniable proof that forced them to believe.

Both his instincts and intellect warned him that this was nothing but an illusion, and its actual lethality was quite limited. If he just gritted his teeth and endured, the battles to come would be much easier.

He Dashan felt displeased, but Zong Tao was shrewd and his concerns were not unfounded. Just as he was about to call for a retreat, a sudden burst of gunfire erupted from behind the watchtower.

At that moment, Han Bing, who had been speeding through the air, suddenly came to a halt and swept a cold gaze around. This abrupt change left Ming Ran completely baffled—one moment they were moving, the next they just stopped.

With a furious roar from the violet butterfly, the males, eager to escape the gaze of this devilish angel, scattered in all directions after suffering enough hardship at her hands.

What surprised Madam Wu was that Liu Chong, too, suddenly declared quite seriously, “Then let’s head to Jiangxia first.” Wu Guotai, Wu Jing—according to what Liu Chong knew, this Wu Guotai was no ordinary woman. If he could make contact, even though she was Sun Jian’s wife, she could prove a valuable diplomatic ally. Thus, Liu Chong decided to make a trip to Jiangxia.

“The Seven Emotions Sect?” Upon hearing the name, Cang Mang immediately felt he’d found a clue—it was simply too telling.

Mi Xin sighed, turning her head away to feign ignorance of the rose resting on the crow’s arm, its two fingers quietly tightening.

The Soul-Devouring Beast opened its jaws wide, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. Its crimson tongue flicked out, betraying its equally agitated state.

Mother Yu nodded slowly. These hairpins were exquisitely crafted, leaving her astonished—how could such beautiful, delicate things be made?

No, it wasn’t simply that trust couldn’t be given lightly; it absolutely must not be. Trust takes a long time to build, while its destruction comes far too easily.

Mo Hanchuan set down what he was holding and leaned forward, offering to help pack the things she would need to take.

As for the Durban-class light cruiser, it was actually more important for the Royal Navy than submarines themselves.

Everyone looked at Lin Jianqiu with envy; they could tell Lord Shi favored him. Even the murderous intent in the eyes of the master of Yunda House had to be subdued, less fierce now.

Truly an idiot—this fellow probably still hadn’t figured out the situation, thinking that currying favor with some local bigwig would allow him to challenge Rock’s authority in Johannesburg.

A team of more than a dozen riders pulled their horses to a slow halt. A middle-aged man with a bushy beard and a cheap cigarette clamped between his teeth drew in the reins. Watching the figure darting ahead, he turned to a young cowboy at his side and asked.
