Chu Feng almost laughed from the sheer irony. In Murong Wuque's case, almost everyone in the academy had supported him, insisting it was impossible for him to have been the culprit, or have anything to do with the theft at all. They had that much faith in their impeccable First Brother. His sacrifices all those years hadn't been for nothing after all. Most knew he was being set up and kept cheering for him. Although they had been too scared to make any excessive moves or attempt to start a riot back then, they still spoke out loudly, insisting that he didn't deserve such disgrace after everything he'd done for the Medicine Sage Valley and the Celestial Realm in general. But today, everyone was unanimous in their disgust for Yuwen Ruohan. Not a single person dared to speak out for him, not even a whisper of sympathy escaping their lips for fear of being lynched by the furious crowd. Even his followers and fellow demon cultivators didn't dare make a peep. Some were even loudl

Yuwen Hao sighed heavily and shook his head. “It breaks my heart that Ruohan gave heed to evil companions and advice which led him to this point. Generations of the Yuwen clan have stood for what was right and upright, never oppressing others.” At this point, those who knew Yuwen Hao’s real nature couldn't help the sneers that appeared on their faces. Never oppressing others, huh? Oppression must have gotten a different meaning since the others checked. “The Valley's rules for dealing with people who betray its teachings are very clear. I won't show mercy or make exceptions because I know the offender.” His pitch dropped at this point, as if he was struggling to keep his voice steady or fighting to keep himself from breaking down. Slowly, he exhaled. “Therefore, I will be choosing the harshest punishment for Yuwen Ruohan!” His voice boomed across the open space, forceful and full of conviction. The person in the cage was breathing heavily, each breath shallow and labo

For nearly a minute, Alvin forgot how to breathe. A sharp pang shot straight through his heart. His hands trembled slightly, and a cold shiver brushed across his skin. He slowly glanced up at Murong Wuque's face. Murong Wuque arched an eyebrow, watching him and patiently waiting. Alvin's chest tightened. Then his own voice echoed inside his mind. [“Hope this meal isn't poisoned? Not like last supper or anything similar?”] He had said those words to Murong Wuque weeks ago, after returning from the mission where he went to rescue the kids. His words back then had come out casually. But deep inside, he knew they had been borne from suspicion. A suspicion that had begun to hibernate after seeing the silhouette of the silver-haired thief who had tampered with his safe. His suspicion that the all-powerful Immortal Lord sitting atop the evil organization and ordering chaos across the three realms was none other than the man bending him over every night and digging into him like it

Alvin's heart tightened painfully as he stared at Murong Wuque, who continued eating as though nothing had happened.However, Murong Wuque's expression had grown darker than before.Something was clearly going through his mind as well.Alvin couldn't believe his ears.A man who had once licked, tasted, and explored every inch of his skin without the slightest hesitation suddenly thought food was contaminated simply because Alvin had eaten a piece of meat with the same chopsticks.Yes, everyone knew Murong Wuque had severe cleanliness OCD.But with Alvin, it had never seemed to exist.He hated physical contact, yet he could stay glued to Alvin's side all night.He would recoil whenever someone touched his bare skin, yet he had once licked, sucked and kissed every inch of Alvin’s body. Ate him like a starving man.But now, he thought Alvin was dirty.Now, he was shoving him into the same icy box where he kept everyone else.Alvin suddenly began to laugh. The sound was hollow, devoid of

Crying didn't help much. At the end of the day, it is what it is.You can't have both at the same time. One had to go for the other to survive.Soon, Ryker was calling. The scouts discovered another base.Alvin's fists tightened so hard they left crescent marks on his palm. How is there another base?They investigated carefully. Yet each time, they keep seeing places they missed.He slowly exhaled.“Compare our military supplies with what the other side has. What do you think?”“Sir, labs detected by our special satellites suggest they've developed a biological weapon. If they truly use it, our current technology might not be enough to hold them back.”Alvin licked his lips and nodded. “Have you moved your family to the secure site? Knowing how much you've worked with me, it's only a matter of time before you're discovered. People that could be used to pressure you…”“I already did that. Moved them to one of the villas in the permanent site. Several key members have done the same afte
