Volume 1, Chapter 68: You Jin's First Love

Song Wanxi never expected that mentioning divorce would be so effective. Had she known that You Jin would undergo such drastic changes just to make her stay, she should have brought it up much sooner, sparing herself two years of being neglected.

As soon as those bosses heard that the person on the other end was the Thousand-Household Officer of the Punishment Bureau, they collapsed to the ground in terror, kowtowing so hard that the thuds echoed continuously as they desperately begged for their lives.

"Damn it, all one hundred and thirty thousand of them, and every single one possesses such formidable combat strength—how on earth are we supposed to fight this battle?" Yu Sheng's face was plastered with sheer astonishment.

"Boss, what should we do then?" Knowing that he and Duan Tianqing were now in the same boat, Jia Jing figured Duan Tianqing would no longer hold anything back against him.

"Mother Li, do you recognize this thing?" Hearing Chen Yu's question, Zhu Qing raised his head and asked Mother Li.

The moment the call connected, a deafening roar came from the other end. Fortunately, Yan You had anticipated this and held the phone a bit farther away beforehand.

"Ooh..." The low, mournful sound of a horn echoed through the air. Hearing the signal, the cavalrymen who had just pierced straight through Li Jue's army began to rally and regroup once again.

Hearing this, Yan Jue frowned and said, "You is asleep. Do not disturb her unless it's something important." With a sharp click, he heartlessly hung up the phone.

Beneath the city walls of Xinzheng, dust filled the sky in swirling flurries, and battle banners fluttered in the wind. Against the vast horizon, only Dong Zhuo's taunting roar remained. Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of eyes, Cao Cao's expression shifted from dark to red, and then from red to a purplish-black.

The corpse on the ceiling looked as though it had just died recently and had not yet fully bloated. It was wedged diagonally, half-stuck in the joint between the ceiling and the roof beam, its two hands clawing desperately into the wall. Several fingers had even snapped off inside the plaster, making it look like a drowned corpse swept tightly into the crevice of a rock by a rushing current.

Just as Chen Yu reached out to take Old Man Chen's arm, the old man convulsed a few times and collapsed flat on his back onto the ground. This frightened everyone present, plunging the scene into even greater chaos.

I let out a silent sigh of relief. Buying one more day meant one more day of reprieve, allowing me to have a night of rest before facing the war.

Clang. Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Yan suddenly drew his sword from its scabbard and issued his command, his expression turning solemn beyond compare in that very instant. Facing this elite cavalry force of the Arab Empire, he dared not show even the slightest trace of slackness.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at his destination. Stepping onto the high platform, he felt a subtle, peculiar sensation, though he could not quite put it into words.

Zhang Que's voice suddenly came from outside the carriage, sounding slightly shaky as he swallowed hard. Zhang Que was a veteran who had followed Wang Chong through countless battles and had seen his share of great storms, but upon catching sight of those figures in the distance, even his expression changed, and a trace of involuntary tension leaked into his voice.

William turned around, exchanged a few polite words with them, and then hurried out of the VIP ward.

With Old Tang reaching this point, the story was concluded. It truly could be considered a rare and extraordinary tale.

The primordial energy Yuan Nianqiao cultivated was not of this nature, which was why, no matter how hard she practiced, her body would still freeze over.

With that, Wang Haiping swooped forward and delivered a flying kick straight into the big guy's face.

Even the Sword of Benevolence and Liu Xuanying down below hesitated and looked somewhat bewildered. If this matter truly was a secret arrangement established long ago between successive Dukes of the Enclave and the Arcane Empire, their identities would become rather awkward, leaving them unsure whether they should step in to stop it or simply wait and see how things unfolded.

Two days later, while Wang Chong was in his estate reviewing the reports sent from Lingnan, without any warning, a loud boom echoed in his mind, and simultaneously, the voice of the Destiny Stone rang in his ears.
