Chapter 104: Seeds of Discord

Ye Mo was not wrong. I was indeed waiting for Gao Shan to provoke the Stone Snake into speaking. If handled correctly, it might even cause a rift between Gao Shan and the Black Snake.

As I hesitated over how to respond, Ye Mo spoke again: "I know you can’t transmit your voice. If you can, snore once; if not, snore twice."

Feigning a single snore, Ye Mo then transmitted: "I sense something nearby. They intend to kill. Should I strike back immediately if they come in, or pretend ignorance?"

I gave no response, signaling him to act unaware.

Before Ye Mo could reply, rumors orchestrated by those with intent spread throughout the capital: Tang Xiao would personally attend the Crown Prince’s coming-of-age ceremony. Clearly, if she displayed her abilities before her master, he would be utterly astonished.

Yet Tang Long harbored no such intentions. Several times along the way, he seemed about to speak but ultimately held back. While it was one thing to target disciples of the Jiejiao sect, the notion that "grasping at straws is a fallacy" was a topic often debated among their senior brothers. Hearing it from the Immortal Ding Guang only reinforced their agreement.

Five minutes later, a midfielder from Ma Jing passed the ball to the flank. Llorente deftly dodged defenders on the wing before sending the ball into the penalty area.

He knew that even if he informed Li Yao about the assassination attempt today, Li Yao would not investigate thoroughly.

With the Marquis of Anping’s mansion, Su Minghao, and the matriarch deceased, the Xiao family and Su Yichen and Su Yimao were en route to exile. Just after turning a corner, Su Yimao caught a fleeting glimpse of Su Yifeng’s figure and immediately shouted out.

All eyes were on Princess Wan’er battling the young master of the Xiao family, where the former was clearly at a disadvantage.

On this flank, Rosy had already drawn the left-back over, leaving the advancing Wilson unmarked.

Though the carriage had not yet reached home, my father was already planning renovations to the household’s electrical network.

Sun Caiying’s words were restrained and measured, almost as if to say: Hey! Su Li, don’t be so blatant! Staring straight at everyone’s thighs—what exactly do you intend?

The troops stationed in Wangzhou were not barbarian warriors. Judging by their armor and attire, they appeared to be rebel forces from Shu Kingdom, possibly under the command of Yong Kai from Yizhou.

A volley of dozens of cannonballs rained down upon the Imperial Alliance and Japanese camps ahead, igniting a fierce barrage.

David and Li Song were clever enough not to stay as mere bystanders. Upon entering the entertainment venue, they each sought their own targets.

What a joke—if everyone discovered just how powerful I truly was, explaining my real strength would become a massive headache.

At this hour, no one should be lying in wait, since JYP Company had already announced that Tuwas would soon return. The benefits of staking out the dormitory before his comeback were minimal.

After all, he wished to gain the support of the Cui family, essentially seeking their favor. Even if that failed, he could not afford to push Cui Jingzhou over to Li Shimin’s side. Hence, he acted with exceptional caution.

Finishing his words, he was too embarrassed to linger. Selecting the thickest and longest of five or six fiery demon vines, he wrapped it around his waist and swiftly vanished into the wilderness.

Shadow Assistant widened his eyes, stunned to see how his own bullet had ended up in the young man’s hand.

She had endured these five years by steadfastly believing that her Brother Han loved her deeply and unwaveringly.

For those at the innate realm, proximity inevitably triggered senses—even if one did not perceive an aura, a sixth sense of danger would arise.

She did not know if she would ever leave this continent in her lifetime, but she was trying.

The mother and child exchanged simple questions and answers. As dusk fell, they slowly made their way home.

Such is the world of martial arts: the strong dominate. With strength comes the power to control the fates of others.

“Ha, compared to the deceitful persona you put on outside, this deal only brings you gains. You can secretly be pleased,” Lina sneered.

The person in charge of Tok Ruo Snowfield was Rother. Shortly after sending a message to them in Kield, several familiar figures appeared within their sight.

“Impossible…” Zhao Zimo murmured, picking up the fourth volume of upper-level manuals to continue reading, while Jue Ming looked on thoughtfully.

“Hmph, if she takes the position of clan head, there won’t be a next time. We will surely become thorns in her side,” Duan Tianli’s eyes darkened with a hint of menace.

I was taken to a sealed room. Its walls, floor, and ceiling were all made of steel plates—thick enough, no doubt, for a high-security prison.

Five meters away, the grassland wolf shaman Tarhanberk was maintaining a high-level spell. Suddenly sensing grave danger, he opened his eyes just in time to see a massive iron ball flying toward him.

On the way, I pondered carefully. If joining a wealthy patron would provide medical support for Uncle Min, I was willing to enlist.

At the entrance of the main hall, a warning formation was set up to deter those without urgent business from entering.

Fusion with the “Rebellious Fallen Angel” required discarding another “Fallen Angel” monster, compounding the loss.

After the Eternal Trap was broken by Xia Qing, as long as “Divine Birth” was not triggered, the just-summoned “Holy Night Radiant Dragon” could not appear.

If the Wei family could have managed public relations over the previous video footage, this audio recording would deal them a devastating blow.

Xie Yun shot him a glance that clearly told him to shut up. Though somewhat resentful, seeing her lingering anger, he opened his mouth several times only to close it again—better to say nothing.
