Chapter 54: Admit Defeat

When Tang Jizu returned to the village carrying bundles and bags, he had not yet reached home when he saw a crowd blocking the road. He went over and asked, "What happened?"

"Jizu, you're back at just the right time. Your wife and son have had an accident."

The men of the village recognized Tang Jizu and cleared a path for him so he could see what was happening inside.

Li Erniu saw Tang Jizu and, as if finally having someone to rely on, burst into tears. "The father of my child, you must stand up for us..."

Nearly all her assets and hard work had been lost to Gu Yong. How could Gu Jinyan live so happily?

Honestly, he was now tempted to collaborate with the Resurrection Society and Divine Punishment to swallow up this huge pie together.

The final scene was the two of them, their eyes full of hope. The light in their eyes gradually faded, and at last, they became nothing but two clouds of blood mist.

"We've done our best to make life a bit better for everyone here. This place is truly pitiful," Daolin said with a smile, scratching his head.

If in reality he had to run around and work hard, in this world he had neither a voice nor any standing.

"Alright, since you have a direction for your investigation, that makes things easier," Jiang Mingde said, setting the documents aside.

And she couldn't bear to see Ye Lingtian beaten to death; for her mother's sake, she stepped forward.

With that, he shook his head, picked up the bundle on the ground, and followed their footsteps into the main hall.

Yet, despite his curses, the Deer Demon King was honest in his actions. He scooped up water from the lake and poured it directly into the Tiger Demon King's mouth.

Liu Liang, Yu Ye, Yin Zhong, and Zhang Hongda all agreed with Xu Que's decision. They could see how serious the situation was, and now was not the time for heroics, so they followed behind Xu Que.

After the two left, the old man who entered the inner room waved his sleeve, and the door outside closed at once.

Wang Jie watched the figures darting swiftly past him and felt his blood stir. With his strength greatly increased, he was now confident that unless he encountered a Spiritual Sect expert, no cultivator of his level could pose any threat to him.

The emperor spoke to her about Bai Jingxue and Wu Hongche being imprisoned, asking if she was appeased. At that moment, Yao Chuxi suddenly felt as if all the emperor's actions to date were simply to please her.

Wang Jie knew in his heart that Lei Zihao still had high hopes for him. If he could form a two-pattern Sect Pill, he could finally break the awkward situation of so many years and wash away past humiliation.

"What is your grandfather's name?" the ghost asked coldly, though excitement could not be concealed in its voice.

Qingyan looked at the two men before her, not knowing what had happened or what to do, and could only watch from the side. The air seemed to sink into a deep, frozen silence.

She took a deep breath, the taste of blood in her mouth. She suddenly let go, and blood and water rushed out from the tube.

"No, no, I don't know the person you're talking about," Yun Xiao replied, shaking his head firmly.

Thinking of Li Mo Yan's rejection, of how he was no different in the boy's eyes from anyone else, the heart that had always been calm felt somewhat stifled.

She carried an LV handbag on one arm, the other wrapped around the arm of the fat man beside her.

After all, this was a hero who ended the chaos in the martial world and restored the Han people's land, saving many lives directly or indirectly.

Long Xiao Wu pondered; just as Long Chen had said, unless Long Xin De was removed, public resentment would not be quelled, and if the law was not enforced, the clan would be like scattered sand—how could they resist outside enemies? When he led the Long Family Fortress, he was met with widespread complaints. Wasn't his original intention to see the family thrive?
