Chapter 97: Going to Deepwater Bay

Lin Lu stood there, watching his car gradually vanish into the distance, and let out a soft sigh.

She did not return to the dormitory at once, but went behind the cafeteria to tease little Black for a while.

When Zhao Yu heard the noise, he came out and handed Lin Lu a plate of roasted peanuts.

"Lin Lu, are you unhappy?" Zhao Yu asked cautiously.

Lin Lu brushed her hair back.

"Yun Mu? Who is that? Do you mean the one who just drove the Sandstorm Demon mad?" Elder Ximen guessed.

Yang Gongming crouched at the doorway, gripping an iron nail in his hand, utterly baffled. The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. That strong fellow kept pestering me, asking how I had found out. I told him heaven's secrets cannot be revealed, that I could not tell him. It left the poor brute gloomy for half the day.

After coming back to life, her personality had changed completely, which was indeed suspicious enough to make them think some ravenous spirit had taken over her body. But after that period of her so-called rambling and their careful study of her nature, perhaps this was simply the price of Dance's resurrection.

Zi Yu nodded. So the storm of that night had carried them all the way to the Korean Peninsula, taking them miles off their course.

Jin Ling was astonished. One must know that his immortal power far surpassed that of an ordinary intermediate immortal or advanced immortal, and could even rival a beginning immortal master. Even against someone like Mo Feng, a beginning immortal sovereign, he still had strength to resist. Yet the other party had merely lifted a palm so lightly.

His opponent was formidable, but compared with the fallen feathers, who had already surpassed even an academy powerhouse like Jiaxuan Moyan, he still was not on the same level.

The troops from Shangyong had poor quality to begin with. Once defeated in battle, they scattered in all directions. Lü Meng did not suspect anything, and simply gave chase after Huan Yi, killing his way into the valley. From the heights, Zhao Shu saw Lü Meng's soldiers fall into the ambush. With a wave of his hand, the men beside him began beating the gongs and drums until the sound shook the heavens. Then came wave after wave of arrows raining down on the Wu army.

They had gone to ask the price. Two carts of green plums for six silver coins. The price was fair enough. The problem lay in transport. Fortunately, the merchants traveling with them in Shuangshi Immortal Village had goods such as pasture hides, meat jerky, and livestock that were in great demand and had sold out early. Seeing that they were from the same village, they agreed to load the empty carts with the two cartloads of green plums and take them back to the village.

The skeleton warrior swiftly raised its right arm. As the arm was lifted high into the air, the fingers of the right hand spread open as well. Those five fingers, which looked as fragile as bones, now appeared so fierce and overbearing.

Before the truth came to light, had Yu Wei not been just like that bold fellow, brimming with ambition and grand aspirations? Her present slackness was merely the process of self-denial after being struck down. In truth, more than anyone else, she wanted to contribute to this matter.

Zhou Ziyu's action warmed Duan Nianyun's heart. With no more hesitation, she told Zhou Ziyu everything about how Zhou Ziqin had forced himself on her ever since she entered the palace, without concealing a single thing.

Su Wei was eating candied oranges personally made by Qilian when she suddenly found her conscience and asked about Qilian's injuries.

As she spoke, Hua Rui had already taken out her phone and dialed the number. After telling Lord Lei what had happened, he readily agreed to come and help, and would have his men arrive at Wulong Academy early the next morning to protect everyone.

The men were all hideous to look at: great fleshy noses, wide mouths with thick lips, eyes sunk deep into their sockets, heavy brows, and one obvious trait in common—their backs were all stooped.

When Su Wei saw the culprit, the fire she had suppressed surged back up inside her, and her expression was, of course, terrifying.

Just as Ling Chen finished speaking, he heard what seemed to be a disdainful laugh not far away. Turning around, he saw a handsome youth with bright eyes and sharp brows. He looked rather good, but the expression on his face was far from friendly, full of mockery. Seeing Ling Chen look over, he did not care in the least, only chuckled softly and turned away.
