Chapter 144: Chaos Unleashed

“What did you say?” Gu Zhuo was shocked.

Cheng Yingshuang’s face grew even darker. “That Bai Jianren turned himself in.”

“How did he turn himself in?” Gu Zhuo sensed something was off.

Bai Jianren have a sudden pang of conscience?

Sure enough, Cheng Yingshuang sighed. “To be precise, he didn’t turn himself in; he went to report someone.”

“Report Chen Xinwan?” Gu Zhuo guessed.

Cheng Yingshuang nodded. “But he didn’t fully clear himself of suspicion either.”

“Young master, do you think Young Master Feng won’t come anymore?” a sycophant tentatively asked, genuinely confused about what kind of madness his young master was caught up in, troubling himself like this.

But after the previous scene, the overwhelming aura that engulfed the entire Tianwu Academy—though Fang Chen didn’t know what it was—he was very clear that his advancement to the Nirvana Realm had surely been discovered by the Ye family.

Tong Ran choked back tears, unable to speak further as a burning drop fell onto Yi Jiazhen’s neck.

Yan Ke answered the phone, a twitch forming between his brows. Through the transmission, the breath on the other end carried an unusual aura that triggered his instincts.

That day, when he went to the Yan family to pick up Yan Xin, he heard the sound of an argument from inside as he stepped outside.

“Thank you. You are…” Xu Youqing felt grateful, seeing the army officer before her. She felt she had seen him somewhere before, a familiar sensation, but couldn’t quite place it.

Luo Ning was furious at the words, itching to rush out and kill the one mocking him, but Luo Han stopped him.

“They’ve been discovered!” Fang Chen emerged from the shattered space, his face extremely grave.

After silently pondering, Zhao Jingdong still nodded and tacitly accepted the fact.

Even someone as scheming as Gao Lian, upon hearing that Wu Song had received thirty jin of gold, simply said “Thanks” and was done with it. He nearly spat blood in frustration, unable to utter the few polite words stored in his stomach, making the atmosphere extremely awkward.

The soldiers beside them immediately came to their senses, thinking Li Kui had already paid bribes and was asking the camp commander for leniency.

Meanwhile, the four burly men had already unpacked the carton, revealing a huge purple copper statue of a Roc, wings outstretched as if ready to take flight, vividly lifelike.

Thus, within seven days, a campaign to root out the canine teeth of the Ersu clan was launched throughout the imperial city.

The system stirred. With his movements, the entire consciousness space began to fluctuate, like a roaring tsunami.

Fearing that Xia Haoyu would find the apartment, after circling downtown twice, I finally chose to sit in a nearby park, watching couples laughing and passing by. A sudden sense of loss welled up within me.

Above, countless sparks of fire, some long, some short, clung together, all converging in this area. As these fires collided, some suddenly extinguished, while others burned even brighter.

While Zhu Cheng was choked silent, Tang Qi and Luo Can’s faces grew extremely unpleasant.

Fang Quan’s nickname was “Black Hook,” named after the long sword he usually wielded, which was jet black with a crescent-shaped blade like a slanted hook.

“Duoduo, this afternoon I’ll visit my hometown first to tidy up the room for you and Haoyu. The environment in Yunshui is better than here—perfect for pregnancy. What do you think?” Mother smiled as she looked at us and asked.

Gu Beichen’s mood gradually darkened at the thought, but for what reason… he didn’t and refused to think about why he felt this way.

For ordinary people, seeing a mountain tiger would instinctively make them retreat. As long as Lin Yi’s hands struck the broken wall again, he believed his plan would come to fruition.

In short, my father is very much in danger now. Girl, you shouldn’t confront my father head-on—I’m worried about you, and right now, I can’t protect you.

Furthermore, with Fang Qingxue dead, there was no one in the entire Great Wu Dynasty strong enough to turn the tide and continue the dynasty’s fortune.
