Chapter 129: A Three-Day Pact

Dao Sansheng remained unperturbed, watching the crowd with a faint smile before turning his gaze toward Xue'er and giving her a playful wink, which only served to further infuriate the group.

"Very well, we shall meet at the Purple Immortal Palace arena in three days. Do try not to disappoint this old man, young hero. I shall take my leave now," Ding...

But suddenly, Lin Yu was stunned into silence. A massive bolt of lightning, as thick as a barrel, pierced through the defensive barrier and struck Gu Tianqiong directly, leaving the air crackling with light.

"There is a letter here that was sent to the three of you three days ago. Please collect it," the messenger said, retrieving the correspondence from a large stack of letters sent from afar.

Hiding on Zejin’s bed in Zejin’s room, Xingchen waited in vain, yet she felt no regret. She only lamented that such a heaven-sent destiny had been ruined by the Demon Lord. Tears welled in her eyes—not out of sorrow, but out of profound regret.

By now, Man had discarded his combat gear, baring his powerful torso—a habit he maintained during battle—before charging toward Kaxi.

Finally, a thunderous boom erupted as the gate to the crater opened, and Lin Yu, dressed in his Daoist robes, flew out into the sight of the onlookers.

"Between Chen Qi and medicinal pills, which is more precious? The answer is obvious." Li Dashi spoke with his eyes half-closed, continuing to expound upon the profound truths to his followers. Langya Lang sat respectfully on the golden silk cushion closest to the Sect Leader's throne, while three other cushions remained unoccupied, for no one dared to sit upon them.

The Bible states: In the Book of Revelation, when the third angel sounds the trumpet, a star named Wormwood shall fall upon the earth, bringing with it a plague that will cause many to perish.

Although Fide considered gladiatorial combat to be merely a performance, he, like the rest of the commoners, held the fighter in high esteem—especially since he was a gladiator who refused to harm others.

"Go and investigate who Xiao Jingcheng was in contact with before his death," he commanded Huai’an, who stood by his side.

On the first night of business, Gu Ling’er did not get her wish; she waited a long time, but no patients arrived. She packed up her stall in a hurry. It was not that she had decided to give up; rather, a sudden glimmer appeared in her eyes—she had decided to change her strategy.

When Na Tie caught sight of Xian Haotian and Huangfu Xuanqing in the distance, it felt as though his heart had been struck by a heavy hammer. His face was a mask of disbelief, and even Xuan Yalan stared in shock, though her expression quickly twisted into one of fury.

Jiang Lan, who had been trailing behind, saw the two standing frozen at the doorway. She pushed past them and squeezed into the room. Coming face-to-face with the masked Kalan, a sense of agitation stirred within her.

He flicked the ash from his cigarette and suddenly spoke his mind. He said exactly what he thought, following the dictates of his heart. As Wen Xi’s face crossed his mind, he could hardly wait to see her; he loved her.

"Therefore, those platinum rings must be hollow. However, the density of platinum is much greater than that of water, and certainly greater than that of wine, so they could never float in alcohol. Do you understand now?" Qing Hong finished, his gaze fixed intently on the visibly conflicted Yin Hun.

He was a native of Jining and had shared a bond of fellowship with Yu Kedi’s late father; over the years, he had been a constant source of support for the widow and her orphan.

"Tell me what it is you desire—something meaningful and practical. If it is within my power, I shall grant it!" the figure upon the golden lotus promised Mei Xuelian.

The three familiar faces halted upon the stone platform, their gazes as cold as ice as they shot toward Lin Xiao and his companion. A surging, murderous intent began to emanate from them.

"...It is nothing; I was just careless and twisted my ankle," the maidservant stammered, sounding flustered before she hurried away.

Thinking of this, Gu Min wondered if it would be difficult to find a daughter-in-law who possessed both beauty and wisdom.
