Chapter 55: The Pact of Allies

Ning Fengzhi wanted to step forward, but Chen Xin and Gu Rong firmly blocked his path.

"Fengzhi, no!"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head at the two of them. As the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, how could he cower behind others when trouble arose?

The choice of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still for him to decide, and it was up to him to negotiate with Qian Yunyu.

"What does the Heavenly Star Saintess desire?" Ning Fengzhi asked in a deep voice.

Qian Yunyu spoke calmly, "My intention is already very clear."

The problem was that such a momentous task would consume an immense amount of manpower and mental labor. With countless details requiring careful consideration, missing even the slightest point could lead to unnecessary trouble.

The airport security guards had also heard about the incident, but duty-bound, they naturally could not let these people through. Otherwise, with so many agitated people at the scene, if they really broke through, the CEOs of those foreign mobile phone companies would likely lose their lives.

The note was pulled open by Xiao Gu, revealing clear handwriting and Xiao Xiao's signature at the end. Although Lin Ying and the others were not close by, with their level of cultivation, did they really need to get closer to see things clearly?

After concluding this topic, the heavy atmosphere suddenly lifted, and the two felt a great weight off their chests. Li Si's invitation undoubtedly left a fallback option for their future.

"No, Lin Feng, what is wrong with you? Our cooperation was going so well before, why the sudden change of heart?" Lin Chuanming reacted, anxiously asking Lin Feng over the phone.

"Lin Chuanyan, you are the mayor of Beijing after all. Look at how lawless people and gangs can be in this city!" Liu Runli was furious by this point, venting and cursing at whoever she caught, while Lin Chuanyan was hit by a stray bullet.

"Xuer, don't panic. What happened? Tell us slowly!" Qingfeng poured her a cup of tea. Although Wang Xi and Mo Ling had a bad premonition, they could only comfort Xuer and ask her to explain everything clearly.

Outside the city of Jiangdu, an unpretentious courtyard nestled among the mountain streams. The vermilion color had long been eroded by time, and the mottled gates spoke of ancient days. Such a desolate courtyard was actually a secondary estate of the Qiao family, the top clan of Jiangdu City, and its dilapidated outer walls were merely meant to deceive the public.

Sensing Lin Tian's gaze, Crown Prince Huse looked up with a hint of surprise in his eyes, then lowered his head and continued to slaughter the enemy.

"There is no need. I have other plans. You go back and assist Mingyue!" Qingfeng acknowledged, and with a flash, his figure vanished from the spot.

When the final note faded into silence, only Zhan Yu's slightly hurried breathing remained in the room.

Hearing this, Zhongli Yingqian merely lowered her head, pressed her lips together, and did not know what to say. Aside from the Dao of medicine, she had no idea how to approach such matters.

"Gongyu and his accomplices' confession of crimes has already been submitted to the Emperor. Lord Di has truly chilled the Emperor's heart this time..." Lai Junchen could not conceal his triumphant delight.

He relaxed instantly, and exhaustion rushed over him. His legs turned to jelly, and with a hopeless expression, he slumped heavily onto the ground.

It was essential for him to make a trip to the Dark Mausoleum Forest first, as it was the only route leading to the Dark Realm, since a part of the Dark Realm connected directly to it.

Then, amidst the quiet night, a rapid series of footsteps approached, stopping right outside the gates of their Yanxi Palace, followed immediately by a round of knocks.

If this iron certificate of immunity was forcefully demanded by Noble Consort Qin from the Founding Emperor in defiance of the whole world, she must have known long in advance that she was going to commit an act that required this certificate for protection. Yet, she had left this very certificate behind with Nurse Su.

Zhu Feng glanced at her, choosing not to press her on why her thoughts were in such disarray, knowing well that panic stems from deep care.

Though briefly disturbed, she was simply too exhausted and sleepy. Nanyan murmured a couple of times, burying her face deeper into Zhu Feng's embrace. One of her arms even instinctively rose to wrap around his neck as she fell into an even deeper slumber.
