Volume 1, Chapter 62: Taking Charge of the Imperial Household, the Empress Falls Ill

In an instant, the atmosphere in the arena fell into a pin-drop silence!

Therefore, whenever the various Daoist sects attended banquets and brought their disciples along, they invariably chose their most outstanding ones to avoid the greater disgrace of losing face for their sect.

With a single step, the Deity of Subduing Demons also vanished from the Heavenly Dragon Plaza, returning to the Hall of Subduing Demons to make the necessary arrangements.

The young man who had been bumped into by Ye Liangchen did not reply either. Seeing Ye Liangchen enter the dormitory, he turned on his heel and sprinted down the hallway.

Through these resumes, the three of them had already gained a preliminary understanding of the applicants and formed their own preferred candidates in mind, awaiting only their performances on stage that evening.

Upon hearing that Mingxuan was to act as this shadow, Li Lanfeng panicked instantly. Although she knew that if Ninghai took action, he would never allow Mingxuan to suffer even the slightest harm, this ritual had never been performed by anyone before, and even with Ninghai going all out, success could not be guaranteed.

Consequently, even prominent figures and grand masters might visit him dozens of times only to be turned away on the grounds of having "no affinity." Conversely, some ordinary mortals, deemed to have an "affinity" with him, would be "chosen" upon their very first visit, having their difficult problems resolved for them.

This was a divine city. Though not exceptionally large—measuring only a hundred miles in radius—every single expert within it possessed at least the cultivation realm of a God King. Among them, several powerful auras were currently directed toward the direction of Heming Mountain.

"As expected of a child of great fortune personally groomed by the Supreme Sect Master, this move has actually shaken the Daoist sect. Join me in exerting our combined power to suppress this realm of heavens, or else we will be in trouble if we disturb the sect's grand array," said the Doctrine-Exposing Elder.

Deep within the dense forest, Xuan Yi stripped off his upper garments. Flashes of fire flickered as sharp black scales, resembling barbs, erupted from his upper body, and a pair of long horns broke through his bones.

He hoped those coastal turret batteries would prove useful. Lin Ai recalled that during the coastal artillery defense battles, the coastal batteries had been completely useless, not even raising their gun barrels once.

In such a brief span of time, she had to fabricate lies while simultaneously patching them up. To make it appear like a "recollection" rather than "quibbling," she could not afford any prolonged pauses. At first glance, this explanation seemed logically sound. Yet, upon deeper reflection, it was far from flawless.

Such a formidable figure had actually been crushed in both arms by Ling Hao, which gave one a sense of how immensely the young man before them had increased his strength countless times over within such a short period.

"Han Dong, listen to me first," Star King Yalü clenched his fists. He had originally intended to wait until the reincarnation was complete so that the two of them could marry as genuine, orthodox humans of flesh and blood in perfect union.

Li Shu was startled. The sensation was akin to being led to the guillotine, only for the executioner to drop his blade and walk away at the very moment of decapitation, granting a reprieve.

As the Flower Maid extended her hands from beneath the marten-fur cloak, causing it to flip open at an angle, Ye Zhong's gaze naturally drifted to the opening, revealing that beneath it she wore a peach-pink, chest-high ruqun, her ample bosom only slightly inferior to that of Imperial Concubine Yang.

Ahead, the shadow play began. The silhouettes of the characters were cast upon the dim, yellowish screen, flickering indistinctly in the dancing light.

Without daring to conceal anything further, Song Jian poured out everything about Wang Yan and the others to his father all at once.

President Deng continuously pressed Zou Yuahang: How did you come to know Elder Mu? Why didn't you mention it sooner?
