Chapter 57: A Sovereign's Heart Is Ever the Most Merciless

In the Imperial Study, Emperor Wu Zhao was furious, glaring at the dispatches sent back from the front lines. "Lou Zhiheng, is this what you meant when you told me that the Chen State was suing for peace? Cough, cough."

In a fit of rage, he hurled the documents at the trembling Lou Zhiheng, his frail body no longer able to withstand such violent outbursts.

With trembling hands, Lou Zhiheng picked up the documents and quickly scanned them... The Chen State had broken their agreement and invaded once again, deploying forces even greater than before.

"This..."

Chen Yu looked coldly at the triumphant expressions of the two men, his face revealing neither sorrow nor joy. He merely lowered his gaze and twirled his ring.

Song Jiu had no idea why Lu Zhe was suddenly acting like a madman, but judging by his expression, he knew this fellow was not joking. Although he felt a pang of reluctance, the "struggle of the Great Dao" was inherently a matter of life and death.

The blade aura represented the cycle of reincarnation, while the power was that of a divine body. Wherever the blade aura passed, the bronze sword let out a mournful cry, splitting apart with countless cracks, and Qin Luo plummeted from the sky.

At the doorway, Zhou Tian was also present. However, when he saw the look in Beichen Lingyu's gaze toward Lin Shaohan, the fire of jealousy in his heart burned uncontrollably.

Among the three imperial princes, only Ji Chen remained silent, casting an indifferent gaze toward the Underworld King's Spirit Ganoderma, though the hands hidden within his sleeves were trembling slightly.

Ye Fan could not help but wonder if the bloody first ant ever to grow wings had orchestrated everything, and if it had foreseen that a millennia later, the Heavenly Dao of the myriad realms would take on human form and appear right here.

The intense killing intent caused the Lion King to overlook the familiarity of this presence. High above in the sky, thunder suddenly roared.

However, what Zhu Youjian did not expect was that Imperial Concubine Qi, also known as Qi Dechan, was so frightened upon seeing him appear that she immediately slammed the door shut.

Chen Yuanyuan replied with a trace of panic, truly at a loss as to how to fabricate lies to deceive these people.

In mere three seconds, Allen was already drenched in cold sweat. Finally, on the fifth second, the whirlwind came to a halt right before his eyes, and the chilling gleam of Shimazu Yoshikiyo's longsword leaping from within was already pressing against his face.

"Do you have any other alternatives? Perhaps you should be more straightforward." Although Ye Minh was certainly open to gentler methods and wouldn't mind considering a more suitable approach if anyone proposed one, for now, war remained the most hassle-free option.

As the leading cultivator was setting up the formation, the surrounding fire crows launched fierce attacks. By this time, the water dragons transformed from talismans had already been completely exhausted by the fire crows, and even more of the creatures swarmed in to attack the two of them.

She asked in confusion, given that Bai Lu also shared the surname Bai, and according to Xun Ziyang's words, he was even a branch of the Bai family.

Leaving the abandoned building behind, Xiao Moyu sprinted all the way toward the battlefield where the Thousand-Faced Hero was located, where the fighting ahead was exceptionally fierce.

Bai Su smiled as she closed the door. The winds and rains raged outside, yet their family of four could gather together, leaning on one another and drawing warmth from each other.

After extinguishing the fireball together, the other two cultivators manipulated their magical artifacts to attack the blazing wolves. Three against one, they managed to stabilize their retreating momentum and, going all out, forced the blazing wolves into a temporary retreat.

Lu Yue retrieved a spirit-treasure phone capable of soul-sound transmission from her storage treasure, her fingers scrolling endlessly through the contacts until the two characters "Mu Tian" moved up and down.

If the First Madam was released by Prime Minister Shen, it must be because she held something that the Prime Minister depended on; otherwise, he would never have allowed her release. In truth, even Shen Weiwei's pleas would have been entirely useless.

In his perception, his consciousness seemed to have entered a peculiar space. This space was entirely white, filled with an intensely frigid aura that had condensed into a thick white mist.

Across the vast expanse of China, throughout Asia, and indeed in every corner of the world, this very scene was reenacted repeatedly.

As for Don Shula the Destiny Weaver, he was entangled by Tamigalarases who should have been battered into incapacity by him, yet for unknown reasons had stood back up and regained their combat capability, leaving him unable to pursue the Soaring Roc.
