Chapter 37: Used and Still Left to Clean Up Her Mess

Xie Yun and the others were taken to the Jingzhao Prefecture. Passing by the torture chamber, Wang Chengdai saw the cold, glinting instruments of punishment on the racks, and her face finally turned pale. She had yet to regain her composure; she had only intended to protect her daughter's innocence, so how had it turned into causing a public disturbance? How had she ended up being brought to the Jingzhao Prefecture? Ordinary people feared such places most of all. Yet she turned...

Especially in the very center, there was actually a city—a discovery he had never anticipated. Shortly after, a vast army of insects flew out, twisting and turning through the passages. Although the Underground Mercenary Guild headquarters was built beneath the surface, the tunnels were dug very deep. As the Star Insects flew above, the people below remained completely unaware.

"Are you sure?" Yue Mingsong stroked the two tufts of whiskers above his lips, a cunning light flickering in his eyes.

"It will certainly happen. Let's just wait for her good news," Fu Zhengzheng said, full of confidence in Zhu Ting.

But before he could act, Huo Hai lowered his hand again. Could this be the center of the entire formation? Huo Hai frowned, looking at the stone beneath the dry bones. This stone did not seem like an ordinary one; it had clearly been processed.

"Fine! We will pretend we don't know anything, walk past first, and see if those people make a move," Lei Ting suggested.

The battle flags of the Keke Xuewu tribe fluttered in the wind across the grasslands. The exhausted warriors watched the backs of the retreating enemy, and hoarse cheers finally began to rise sporadically across the steppe.

After the Immovable King attained perfection and departed the world, the Ming King Sect still inherited his focus. The sect possessed specialized techniques for cultivating mental stillness, which all disciples were required to practice.

Wu Sheyun laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I truly owe you my thanks. If not for you, how could I have broken through to this level?" As Wu Sheyun spoke, Huo Hai's eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.

"I never imagined I would actually be acquainted with a legendary figure. It is such an honor," Zhong Wuqi said, overjoyed.

"I was wondering, could I join you on the flight to serve the guests?" Ai Xiaoya looked at Li Moran, her eyes filled with hope.

The fleet had traveled less than two hundred miles past the Tsushima Strait when, aided by the observation range of the Great Thousand Spyglass on the ship, the lookout spotted an unidentified fleet before nightfall. The style of the ships was that of the former Sui Dynasty river vessels.

Qianqian was not surprised at all and said calmly: "So that means we are back to square one, is that it?" This sentence completely erased everything they had experienced on the island. How could he not be heartbroken and pained by this?

"Father Emperor." Leng Xianning raised her head and cried out in disbelief. In her heart, her father had always been wise and mighty; how had he become so unreasonable? When had the father who once doted on and cherished her ever spoken to her with such cold words?

"Haha, then congratulations to Elder Li for gaining such a genius," the elders of other sects immediately laughed and offered their compliments.

"What do you think?" She stretched out a finger with vermilion-painted nails and poked his chest fiercely, causing Zhong Li to gasp inwardly as he eagerly buried his head in her body, demanding more.

Qin Qiong raised the level of the banquet even further, then wrote a list of names and sent people to invite the guests.

Leng Xianning gave a light laugh and got off the bed, but because she had been sitting for too long, her legs were numb. Ye quickly reached out to support her, only to be pushed away.

Approximately one million kilometers away from the Longwu planet, a magic formation shimmering with the divine light of space spanned across the starry sky.

"Your Majesty... would it be better to let Lord An make some discreet inquiries outside the palace? The Lord currently aligns with the Fifth Prince's faction, and Consort Jue is on that side as well; it should be easy to talk to them regardless." Yinglu had not wanted to say this, but given the current situation, some things had to be done.

While everyone else was still deep in thought, Prince Yu began to clap his hands, "Clap, clap, clap," shouting "Good, good, good," which left the Princess of Yu feeling deeply ashamed.
