Chapter 55: A Dangerous Aura

As everyone knows, the second day of the Lunar New Year is traditionally the day for a married woman to visit her maternal family.

Though she was rather reluctant to admit it, Youbao's maternal family was indeed the Mu family.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look at Mu You.

They left the final decision entirely up to her, showing her absolute respect and support.

"Grandfather, uncles, Youbao wants to go back."

Mu You's answer was entirely within their expectations.

Since the child was still so young and possessed a kind heart, she surely wouldn't harbor any grudges, having grown up—

As for the city defense of Taiyuan, this was the home base of the Li imperial clan and lay within the strategic interior. If Yunzhou were to fall and the hostile army invaded, nowhere here could be considered safe. For the time being, city defense could be set aside, leaving the guards of the Taiyuan Wang clan and Jinyang Palace to hold the line for a while; the military situation was as urgent as a blazing fire and could not wait.

Without wasting words, the five men immediately boarded the vehicle. Building on the foundation of their recent joint combat, they were instantly welcomed by everyone upon getting in. As the vehicle started moving, their conversations quickly livened up, forging them into a unified collective.

At the summit of the peak, the two divine king elders wore exceptionally grim expressions. Could it be that their Azure Dragon Peak was incapable of defeating a disciple of Carefree Peak? If word of this got out, Azure Dragon Peak would inevitably become the laughingstock of the other eight branches.

Fat Tiger crushed the newly bought plastic water bottle in his grip and tossed it casually into the trash can. Today, he arrived on the scene a bit earlier than usual. The primary reason was that, after reviewing Zhu Ping's scouting report, he discovered that the opposing center matched against him actually attended the same school; even more surprisingly, the player was a former teammate of his.

"Brother Cao, they are coming out," reported Pighead anxiously as he peered from his hiding spot by the roadside.

At this moment, the two parted ways. Wang Guanglu made a polite gesture, ceding his previous speaking spot to Afu and even offering him his megaphone. Afu, however, shook his head and declined. Seeing this, Xu Tianhong produced another megaphone from his person and handed it to Afu.

In truth, he had yet to grasp another fundamental principle: wealth brings power, enabling one to accomplish many things unattainable without money, such as bullying the weak with the backing of influence.

Following that, Cui Minshou erupted like a powder keg, confessing to a dozen participants in rapid succession. Without exception, all of them were swiftly apprehended by Wei Zheng. What puzzled Wei Zheng, however, was that not a single one of these individuals had attempted to flee in advance.

As for Zhang Ziyan, she had no way of directly revealing the formula to Elder Shi, since the formula wasn't something she had developed herself. However, she had already discussed the secondary potion, modified using Liu He's blood, with Elder Shi.

When Shen Zimo heard that Ke'er's father was none other than the Blood Eagle, a chill gripped his heart! He was not a man of the underworld, but over a decade ago, the reputation of the Blood Eagle had been thunderous, before he mysteriously vanished from the radar! He had always known that Nangong Ke'er's father was the head of the immensely wealthy Nangong Corporation, but he had never imagined a mafia background.

Yun Yao had committed far too many misdeeds, and now, stuck at a cultivation bottleneck, she was desperately eager to seize Su Yunliang's body, driven inevitably by her inner demons.

Shen Yunyou strode off to find Duan Hengchou. Upon meeting him, she suddenly realized how deeply she missed Ye Zixun.

This monk bore the dharma name Tianxing. Speaking of which, his background bore a striking resemblance to Shen Feng's. While Shen Feng had started out as a menial laborer in the back courtyard of Prajna Temple, Elder Tianxing had originally been a monastic cook in the same temple.

"Ha!" With a flash of red light in its eyes, Mawile finally made physical contact with Beautifly for the first time. Its punch shattered the wind pressure and blew Beautifly back, while taking advantage of that very opening, Frogadier successfully landed its first blow on Beautifly as well.

"I'm going, you don't need to see me off." With that, she bolted out of the room as if fleeing for her life.

Torterra pondered for a moment and decided not to set off immediately. He planned to grant himself a few days of vacation—a rare and well-deserved rest.

Those seemingly harmless mists possessed a powerful hallucinogenic effect, inducing illusions and making it far easier to sink helplessly into the quagmire.
