Chapter 64: I’ll Fight You to the End
Just like that, Xu Yang was right in front of their eyes. Yet, everyone unconsciously overlooked him. In their minds, a cowardly, timid person posed no threat whatsoever. Naturally, they saw no reason to spare Qin Feng a single glance. However, at that very moment, Xu Yang sprang into action.
Jiang Baihong’s face immediately darkened, but he couldn’t give chase; he could only stand there with a grim expression as the crowd dispersed. Jiao Yuzhen, dressed in a silver-purple palace gown, her hair in flowing clouds adorned with a jade phoenix hairpin, and a princess’s token tied at her waist, walked into the grand hall with her head held high, her posture regal and graceful. Not a trace of vexation from rumors could be seen in her noble bearing.
There are only two ways to make one’s subordinates obey: loyalty or fear. The Wang family undoubtedly wielded the latter, using terror to control their people. Though it is an easy way to command obedience, it is just as easy to lose it.
“A spirit running off in one direction—there are two possibilities,” Zhang Xuanwei continued. “The first is that someone is driving it, herding the soul and spirit into confusion. The second is that something in the distance is attracting it.” That thing clinging to Grandfather had been desperately seeking immortality, not to use it for itself, but to prevent it from falling into another’s hands and threatening its own existence.
The “bird men” swept across the sky, while those in the forest craned their necks to follow, their view mostly blocked by the canopy. All the while, they had to watch out for traps ahead. How could anyone tail someone in such conditions?
Feng Erdan said this was simple, laughing that he hadn’t expected today’s affair to be resolved so easily. I replied that the world is unpredictable and anything is possible, feeling my own heart finally relax.

She angrily flung her sleeve, sashaying back to the table in her alluring manner, snatching up Shi Tou’s cup of water and downing it in one gulp.
Back when he’d been deliberately pushed off a cliff by that family at the age of three, they’d assumed he could never survive, especially given the distance.

Yan Ziyue was surprised that Xiao Heshuo was even acquainted with the police—and judging from the situation, they seemed to have quite a good relationship.
Bai Chen didn’t rush him, as long as the man didn’t leave the Bai family. Brother Gang and his buddies were swamped with work by day, and at night, they locked themselves in their houses.
As someone who wielded tremendous influence at court, such a term was almost insulting to him. When midnight struck, he logged off the ride-hailing app, ending another day of idling work.
Once the fortress was built and equipped with the Dragon Nation’s intelligent core, even if the lord of Tianhai City tried anything against them, he could instantly seize control of the core and destroy all the opponent’s weapons.
At the end of the Bridge of Forgetfulness stood a vast platform, with four formations upon it. Within each formation, ghosts entered one by one.
Liao Yazhi’s publicity was powerful; she already had a steady audience of over a hundred thousand. With her promotion, thousands more immediately flocked to watch me.
Muhammad raised a hand to admit fault—he’d been slow switching on defense, and when Weber broke through, he should’ve dropped back into the paint, but for a moment, he failed to react.
