The Black-Corner Region did not have many experts. Anyone capable of transforming battle qi into wings should have been a Battle King, or perhaps belonged to an even higher realm.

Huayi’s assistant-contract system was divided into long-term and short-term agreements. The contracts generally signed between the company and its artists were long-term. Assistants who signed such contracts were no longer under the company’s jurisdiction; the company would neither assign them tasks nor pay them a salary.

If he had not remembered how severely Lingjiao’s younger sister had just been whipped by him, he probably would have gone another round.

At the same time, just as trouble arose on Chu Xuan’s side, the walkie-talkie in Zheng Zha’s hand emitted a harsh, crackling shriek, causing everyone’s expression to change.

That evening, Deng Lido opened a portal and sent his monkey-faced eagle on a trip to Tennessee. A light drizzle was falling there that night, and the immaculate monkey-faced eagle’s feathers were already soaked the moment it flew out of the portal.

Although she had long intended to pass her position on to someone else, Sacred Queen Kesha could not help feeling sorrowful and experiencing emotions too complicated to describe when she saw the fruits of tens of thousands of years of effort surpassed with ease.

Quite a number of cultivators had gathered there, including powerful figures from both the demon and human races, such as the Bull Demon King, Princess Iron Fan, the Roc Demon King, and the Flood Dragon Demon King.

Only the crime of colluding with the Japanese could move the Military-Defense Circuit under the Surveillance Commissioner’s Office to act personally. Only under such circumstances could they seize the chief official of an entire county at will.

In short, Ye Chu was Wan Yihui’s most beloved treasure. Whoever made Ye Chu sad would immediately fall out with that person.

After the Flame Sparrow Sacred Cauldron advanced into a divine weapon, it not only enhanced the power of the alchemy profession but also gained offensive capabilities. Once the cauldron was summoned, even a ninth-stage Divine Venerable could be killed instantly.

Meanwhile, Emperor Wu continued drifting toward the gray radiance, and it seemed he was about to be swallowed by it.

“I once heard that large quantities of Ice Profound Crystals had been seen in the Cold-Ice Lake within the Azure-Mist Mountains. However, the area is infested with numerous high-level demonic beasts, making them extremely difficult to obtain,” Duan Wushuang said after pondering for a moment.

As he spoke, an inexplicable aura spread from Yiermi. It was a thought filled with utter malice, chilling the soul. An ordinary person would probably not last even two seconds before this presence and would be frightened to death on the spot.

Mormodo hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. Although the two sides had originally agreed not to fight to the death, who could say what might happen once the battle truly began?

As for the other ordinary people who knew nothing of the Ancient Gods, it was one thing for them not to take the Ancient Gods seriously.

Phantom Troupe No. 3, Machi, is a Transmuter who can give aura the properties of thread, stretching it without limit for use in attacks or to treat severing injuries.

Wu Yun had never used an immersion pod and did not know what the so-called Lord of Starwind represented, but she had once received Li Ran’s help and could understand why these tenants were so agitated.

Gradually, some people began to speculate that this was a riddle the Lord of Starwind had posed to all players. Anyone who solved the mystery in the video would receive a reward from the Lord of Starwind.

What could be confirmed was that, from this day onward, Grandmaster Ye, who had only just made a resounding name for himself in the Seventh Layered Realm and was at the height of his fame, was likely to suffer a period of neglect and would never again enjoy his former glory.

“Who’s setting me up?” Ruan Tingyi frowned as well. Enticing minors was no ordinary scandal. Who could be so vicious as to use such a disgusting method against her?

However, setting Bai Yu aside, the reason he was willing to talk with the dormitory supervisor was that Qin Wafan believed Bai Yu and Bai Mei had already become so close that they had nothing left to hide from each other.

Lin Yichen gently swirled the ice-blue liquor in his glass, glanced at the others, and spoke calmly.

The emperor smacked his lips as he finished the meat porridge, then cleaned every strand of shredded meat from the plate before gazing longingly at the eldest princess’s bowl.

Ye Chen turned around and asked Ye Yao. After spending two years in the Feather Transformation Sect, Ye Yao should have made her choice long ago.

But instead of stealing the chicken, he had ended up losing the rice. All the effort he had invested had ultimately benefited Qin Yu, and Qin Yu had taken all the advantages.

Even if they died in rebellion, Yan Du and the others would still be able to capture a whole host of people as powerful as them, or even more intelligent. Though such people might possess less talent than they did, disobedient “dogs,” no matter how capable, could never compare with obedient ones.

The Bone Spirit had learned long ago that Tang Sanzang would pass through White Tiger Ridge. She had therefore sent the Black Fox Spirit to station people on every peak of the ridge. The moment Tang Sanzang appeared, the demons keeping watch would immediately report to the Bone Spirit.

Nangong Mo was placed under house arrest for a second time. Having learned from the previous incident, the emperor replaced everyone around Nangong Mo, doubled the number of guards, and made certain that Nangong Mo could not escape as easily as before.

Nothing like what happened with my second uncle and second aunt ever happened again. My days passed peacefully, yet I did not know that someone in the village was secretly dying every day.

The phantom was an illusory figure condensed from the Supreme Demon Emperor’s entire reserve of demonic power. If the Supreme Demon Emperor himself happened to be nearby, that would be one thing. But if his true body was really at Mount Hongmeng, thousands of miles away, then his power was far too terrifying.

Clearly, he had become so frightening with the aid of a weapon, and the one he had brought with him was certainly an imitation.

Seeing this, Song Yiyi did not try to avoid them. She turned with Xiahou Ce and went to sit beneath the weeping willows beside the lake, admiring the scenery.

Yang Zaixing looked up at the mountains on both sides. The trees were dense, and if archers were concealed within them, rushing recklessly into the valley would result in heavy losses. This time, he resumed his caution.

When Zhao Fuxin left the private room, he saw Zhang Caijun and his party. Zhang Caijun was openly contemptuous of Zhao Fuxin, and the servants behind him were the same. Only Gao Jian and Tong Jin gave Zhao Fuxin a slight nod in greeting.

Tian Jiao’s hand slammed heavily onto the windowsill. The bloodstains on the bandages wrapped around his right hand deepened, becoming so vividly red that even Gu Lian found the sight shocking and painful.

She had noticed the changes in Song Yiyi as well and had always been puzzled by them. After hearing Song Yao’s words, she wondered even more whether Song Yiyi had truly been possessed by some evil spirit. Otherwise, how could she have undergone such a drastic transformation?

“Gu Meng, you shameless vixen—you became a fox spirit yourself, and now you dare slander me here? I will definitely sue you for defamation!” Hao Meijun panicked and immediately launched a preemptive accusation.

But just as he was preparing to devise a way to act, his master suddenly revealed that he had fallen into someone else’s arms. How could he possibly endure that?
