Volume One, Chapter 57: Calling the Police to Arrest Jiang Yao

This lunge missed, and Jiang Yao fell face-first onto the ground.

“Ah!”

“Yao!” Madam Wang trembled with distress, quickly lifting Jiang Yao. Seeing her fair, swollen face, she couldn’t help but reproach Shen Hanchuan. “Hanchuan, really—why did you dodge? Don’t you know Yao’s health isn’t good?”

Shen Hanchuan had always treated Madam Wang like his own mother. Besides paying her salary, he often gave her gifts. After all, those relatives who sought trouble shared the same royal blood as him. If the emperor were truly enraged and began a massacre, regret would come too late.

Sun’s eyes opened, a fierce glint within them, utterly at odds with her current appearance.

The National Security Bureau specially requested the chief cryptography expert, Song Xuan, to appraise the situation. The result was that Chu Yan had been in contact with the pirates from the moment he shifted his research direction.

Later, Bai Li Wushang returned with the earth-yellow robe of Xuan Yuan Xi. They had conversed without knowing Bai Li Wushang was following. Since that man called him “Leader,” it was almost certain he was the true leader.

“It really is a rainbow. I’ve never seen a rainbow before. This is my first time,” Qing Jun’s eyes sparkled more brilliantly than the rainbow itself.

“Uncle Ji! Uncle Ji is really here!” Shen Yu, whose face had looked lifeless, suddenly opened his eyes, his expression filled with excitement.

“Lowly creatures, their deaths are of no consequence.” I don’t know why, but I uttered these words. Glancing at the masters fighting, they no longer seemed like masters. They were too slow; their illusions were riddled with flaws, their mental strength almost laughable.

Moreover, when the secret passage was being built, Xuan Yuan Mo knew nothing of the matter. Had he known, he would have certainly rebuked Han for his unnecessary actions.

Taking a sharp breath, Xuan Yuan Qing turned away. Illuminated by the firestarter in his hand, he quickly left He Tianci’s house.

Everyone knew she had been promoted single-handedly by Bai Shu, and Bai Shu and Uncle Bai were uncle and nephew. Thus, every department treated her with special favor.

Felin, experienced in grand occasions, was only slightly startled before regaining composure and fell silent. Since Saviana knew Wu Tong, she was no longer an enemy. Given the complex situation, Felin didn’t wish to be distracted.

Just when the Rock Shinobi believed the Leaf Shinobi had abandoned their attack, Night Snow suddenly raised his hand, surging with lightning chakra, high into the sky. “Lightning Style: Kirin!” Yes, it was indeed Kirin, the jutsu that appeared only fleetingly during the battle of the Uchiha brothers.

Yun Qiu Chen left not long after the princess and Xiao Jinglin departed. Upon hearing that Princess Yun was ill, she couldn’t sit still and wished to pay a visit. She went to the main table to greet Mrs. Su. Everyone knew Yun Qiu Chen was favored by Princess Yun, so her desire to visit was natural. Mrs. Su allowed her to go.

The ghostly figures appeared suddenly, relying on their numbers—four times that of the other side—intent on a forceful seizure.

Because of this, Elder Bei focused his energy elsewhere, such as researching mysterious magic formations found in ancient ruins. As the Grand Elder of the Summoner family, any achievement in this area would benefit the family far more than other pursuits.

That morning, a stone passenger boat slowly approached the Gan County wharf. Gan County, located in the southern part of Luling Prefecture, was an important commercial port on the Gan River. Though sparsely populated, its commerce thrived. Each spring and autumn, vast quantities of mountain goods and medicinal herbs were gathered here, loaded onto boats, and shipped to Jingzhou or Jiangdong.

The study of Night Snow’s body took place in the second week after Scorpion and Orochimaru became friendly. That day, everyone was discussing their ideas. Scorpion had deep expertise in forging and puppet arts, but that didn’t mean his knowledge of human anatomy was lacking. To craft living human puppets, one could imagine how many dissections Scorpion had performed to reach his current achievements.
