Volume 1, Chapter 45: Criminal Liu Feng

Liu Feng's guess was spot on.
It was Wang Changsheng who had betrayed him.
Liu Feng could not fathom how Wang Changsheng had found out that the military horses were hidden in the backyard.
Yet, in his heart, Wang Changsheng was already a dead man.
"With both personal and physical evidence established, the prisoner Liu Feng, for illegally hoarding military horses, is hereby sentenced..."
"My lord, wait a moment..."
Wang Changsheng abruptly interrupted.
"Is there anything else?"
The county magistrate frowned slightly. Wasn't this the young man who had given him silver to dispatch Liu Feng as quickly as possible? Why was he backing out at the crucial moment?
Couldn't they just finish by signing and sealing the judgment document?
"My lord, Liu Feng possesses extraordinary martial arts."
"I know. Anyone capable of capturing bandits must have some skill."
"This..."
"I won't deny it; Murong Lan is indeed wonderful, from every single angle!" Xiang Zuo said with his head lowered, weakly.
Time was far too pressing after all; Cheng Feng did not have enough leisure to turn the Heavenly Evil Sect completely upside down, so he had merely paid special attention to the peaks housing the palaces. As for whether anything had been missed, there was no way of knowing.
With spiritual Qi unusable here, the Poison Saint had nowhere to hide, and his body rapidly turned purple.
Thus, he decisively squatted down, thrust two fingers inside, and attempted to pull the manhole cover outward from within. After repeating this several times, the manhole cover remained entirely unbudged.

Meanwhile, Liu Chong also informed Li Zixiao in his message that after repelling the first wave of the Tatars' assault, the enemy had temporarily ceased their attacks.
Then, however, the ripples suddenly contracted and re-converged, followed by yet another muffled, thunderous roar.
Otherwise, the tragedy that had previously befell Zhou Dachu's side might have repeated itself, something Li Zixiao could never allow to happen again.
It was not only the intense sound of artillery, but also the fierce crackle of gunfire that pierced the silent night with crystal clarity.
Spirit runes, on the other hand, required no preparation; as long as he retained spiritual power, the strength of the runes would never be exhausted.
Due to economic depression and the impoverishment of the populace, Li Li's business proved far worse than he had imagined. Half a year had passed without more than a handful of transactions, leaving the aspiring entrepreneur deeply distressed.
"Of course," Elder Xia nodded without hesitation. "Sixteen, if you can find people to harvest all this wheat and bring it home, you'll be the greatest contributor. Naturally, your second uncle must pay the wages. Even so, he'll still have to thank you." I thank you too.
"What are you thinking about, Ming!" A sudden, anxious roar startled Li Ziming for a moment, before he felt a massive tentacle reach out and lash toward him with lightning speed.
Since Ji Yaoshen had given her word, she would not seek trouble with Second Master Li again. The journey ahead should be relatively smooth now, shouldn't it?
It could be said that today's failure was entirely caused by this unexpected variable, so it was no wonder he attached such importance to it.
Found it! Han Yun looked at the webpage with delight. It listed numerous items that needed to be prepared, including food, water, and a quiet environment.
Yan Feng's pass caught everyone completely off guard. They had all assumed Yan Feng would rely on his signature skill to forcefully breakthrough through sheer individual effort.
"Alright," an old voice sounded. "My place is not somewhere for you lot to engage in a deathmatch." Shiki slowly and leisurely floated in.
"Don't keep me in suspense. What on earth happened? Tell me quickly. Although my mobility is limited right now, I know my own condition and won't act rashly." Seeing Bao Bao looking at him with earnest concern, Luo Xiu felt a stir in his heart, recalling her worries, and could not help offering reassurance.
"Zhi-ge, let's give it everything we've got. As long as we can score just one goal." Yan Feng said to team captain Zheng Zhi.
Every village had people conscripted for corvée labor to repair city walls, which were then organized into separate sections. Even though the place where Zhao Di and the others sold ice jelly didn't have anyone from their own village working there, who could guarantee they wouldn't run into someone one day?
When Li Shu pulled out his arrow, it actually brought out a jade plaque. Just like the previous two, it had a dancing, clawing scorpion carved upon it.

Furthermore, the bizarre thing was that at this moment, Long Teng felt as though he could see himself falling wildly, yet his entire body had lost all sensation. He felt like a mere bystander, simply watching his own body as it prepared to smash into the earth and die.
Before a single day had passed, Long Teng and his companions, who were already not far from the Ancient Domain City, returned to the deeply familiar city.
Scanning his surroundings, the prior instructions had demanded perfection, so the attendant had meticulously decorated everything. It was exceedingly romantic and warm, perfectly suited for confessions and dates. This wasn't the exact effect Lin Zheng had aimed for, but who was he? With skin thick enough, did he care about such trifles? As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.
Then the two sisters chatted idly, neither knowing when they had drifted off into a deep sleep.
During the performance, the old man would offer targeted guidance based on each child's specific issues.
Duo Duo looked at the green mist beneath her and muttered, "We'll rest once we reach the upper level of the tower; we can't stop now."
Even when they simultaneously removed their internal cores, they found that the cores were also growing steadily colder. Clearly, the two were interconnected; a fatal injury to one would slowly cause the other to perish as well.
Simultaneously, a murky, obscure aura emerged from Yun Feibai, starkly contrasting with his native immortal essence. Before anyone could react, it transformed into a black web that extended across the void.
"Do you still want to keep fighting?" the lean trainee asked calmly, placing a palm atop the chubby trainee's head just as the latter was trying to get up.
After the match concluded, Shinji went to check the list of qualifiers, and sure enough, Sherry and Hiro had also advanced, though another name on the list caught his attention.
"Your husband obeys." The warmth of his breath against her ear made him want to sweep the person beside him right off her feet. Unfortunately, Ling Mi and Ling Lu were tidying up the room, so it wouldn't do to go too far. He merely gave her slender waist a gentle caress, only to have her gracefully dodge away.
"What else can I do... If I lose the Wu clan, do I have any other choice?" If she lost the Wu clan yet failed to enter the Underworld Palace—leaving aside the fact that Lan Shenmin had Lu Zhiyin by his side, wasn't there also Liu Yanran in Yan City?
"You are about to turn into a zombie, so go die." With those words, the polar bear soldier resolutely pulled the trigger. His mutating comrade slumped to the ground, the transformation halted, and his suffering was instantly ended.
"This is only temporary, and besides, we don't have that much time to mess around with them. New dungeons, new bosses are all waiting for us. Let's set them aside for now and settle the general ledger with them after we've taken care of our own business." I patted Qi Sha's shoulder in reassurance.
