036

As for the others, most naturally chose to leave. By now, the mass of dark clouds on the horizon had drawn closer, faintly exuding a suffocating aura. While the majority had departed the Sword Discussion Platform, a portion still chose to linger nearby, clearly aware that more formidable figures from the Nine-Story Tower were on their way.

The Ghost-Faced Daoist, a lifelong bachelor who still claimed to be a virgin, was avoided by all demons and spirits alike; he was not up to the task.

"Sigh! What a letdown. I thought it was at least an elite monster, but it turned out to be just a gray-tier minnow!" Wang Lu shrugged, turning to head back to the manor.

Having grasped two profound mysteries and possessing the initial ability to fuse them, the power he unleashed was no less than that of an expert who had mastered three.

Kohei Kishimoto glanced at the bodyguards who had swarmed forward, but he wore a ferocious grin as he gestured for them to cease their advance.

She was the earliest tenant; before her parents went missing, Su Qing had already known her, and they shared a very good relationship.

Those from the God Realm naturally recognized this youth in white. In the Heaven-Piercing Divine Domain, who else could call Yun Yao "Grand-Mistress" but the two disciples of the Heaven-Piercing Sword Master? It was none other than "Cloud Dragon," Yun Conglong, one of the Wind-Tiger-Cloud-Dragon duo.

Jiang Ming had intended to simply walk away, but Qin Lan’s words were too harsh, forcing him to "fight across the wilds and sweep through the world," playing the hero to save the beauty and leaving an indelible image in her heart.

Several days later, more people gathered in Yaoguang City of the Fragrant Snow Sea. Fairy Yaoguang was the mistress of this city, and she had once shared some history with Ren Pingsheng. However, this time, Ren Pingsheng’s arrival in Yaoguang City was extremely low-profile, unlike his last visit when he participated in that sword-casting competition.

"What technique is this!" Nangong Qingyun exclaimed in shock. Looking closely, she saw several talismans appear before Yin Xiuzhen, shimmering with golden light and radiating an imposing, majestic aura of pure yang exorcism.

"I know Mr. Zhao Tiao is strong, but that does not make him invincible. There are those in this world who can claim invincibility—for instance, Li Chengde, the Prince of Hedong, from outside the Xuanwu Gate. His stature as an earthly sword immortal allows him to challenge the title of invincible. But Mr. Zhao is no earthly sword immortal!" An abrupt voice echoed from beyond the wall.

She stared fixedly as the car came to a stop not far in front of her. She watched intently as the door opened, and a long leg was the first to step out.

In an instant, all eyes swept over, and Lu Xibai felt as though she had returned to her first arrival at Youfeng Peak—a barrage of gazes and speculations, devoid of any goodwill, naked and piercing.

Except for the fact that Bei Ming Yinsha’s eyes held a touch more fervor when looking at Wusun Shize, everything else was perfect.

Could it be that Old Madam Su’s attitude had done a complete three-sixty turn today? As it turned out, it was because she had learned that the child in her womb was also a boy, and that her pregnancy had stabilized significantly, which was why she had become so amiable.

True Master Qingxu’s expression, previously indifferent, suddenly sharpened, and a trace of murderous intent surged forth. Even though Yin Xiuzhen knew this killing intent was not directed at him, he could not help but feel a sudden chill in his heart.

Yet, in this situation and severely injured, Zhou Xian had no choice but to bow his head and yield. He truly could not fathom why his father had left without a word, allowing Mu Ling to flaunt his power at the Casting Emperor Palace and walk away unscathed.

He had originally thought that by killing this transmigrator with the Pure Firmament, he could obtain all his various "cheat codes." It seemed he had overthought it, but on second thought, the fake Li Xiuning’s own cheat was quite powerful, though it had flaws and limits.

Outsiders did not know much about the Holy Lord of Yuzhou Mountain; his various identities were a mystery, and of the entire Yuzhou Mountain, the only person they knew was Ting Mo.

"By the way, we’ll be on a show with Mom in a few days, and it’s a live broadcast. Are you afraid, Lele?" Su Nian asked.

As Gu Ye observed, time passed quietly, and Ka, who had been lying flat on the bed with his eyes closed, opened them at this moment.

The person who leaped down was Chen Yan, who had been watching the scene all along. Upon noticing that the burly man was no longer able to resist, Chen Yan could not help but pull a flagpole from the spectator stand and jump down.

Since hawks could fly hundreds of feet into the air once mature, and the heavy crossbows equipped by the army could only reach a few dozen feet, even if someone with excellent eyesight spotted a hawk, they could hardly shoot it down and were forced to let it circle overhead.

He could tell that his wife, who came from a distinguished background, was still unwilling to mourn for a concubine-born son.

With Yan Ruyu joining the Undying City and wielding the Chaos Green Lotus, they were like a tiger that had grown wings. With a Saint and an Imperial Weapon combined, even the Sacred Grounds would not be willing to provoke them easily.

Realizing the gecko was nothing special, Kuzaki Tsuneharu shifted his attention away from it.

Otherwise, if all three candidates for succession used the family's resources, the clan would be severely crippled even after a victor was decided.

Ouyang Xiao retreated slightly, positioning himself at an angle where he could see Dai Changli, but those downstairs could not spot him.

The Heavenly Prince had actually been to this area before. Several years ago, when the Qing Emperor’s tomb opened, it was right near the Lingxu Cave Heaven. In fact, the name "Lingxu" originated from those very ruins.

Especially in every game played by Go Seigen later on, he was completely analyzed by Ying Jie, who could even provide the best countermeasures.

This indicated that the other party detested her deeply, meaning the past could not be resolved simply by calling it a misunderstanding.

Qi quickly said he dared not, then he began to flatter Kui. The surrounding hundreds of ministers also began to chime in, and the entire great hall suddenly became filled with mirth.

Although his intention in saying this was to reassure Lin Bixiao, the tone was entirely inappropriate for the moment, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with countless eye-rolls.

The thumb ring hit the floor with a crisp sound, simultaneously drawing the attention of Xu Yingtian and the henchman. When their eyes locked onto the jade ring, their breathing became ragged.

However, the grandmother’s qipao was quite different from the two before her eyes. If the grandmother’s qipao exuded the heavy, oppressive weight of a man-eating feudal society, then the two before her were synonymous with classical elegance.

Ying Jie, who was busy wrapping lamb in a pancake, looked at the panting Xiao Xiao, who was running back and forth, and muttered a remark.

When your face is insulted and you do not defend it, more and more people will dare to offend your dignity in the future, and you will have to pay a higher price to accomplish anything.

The moment Lin Bixiao was about to walk past him, Qin Qinglang reached out and grabbed her wrist.

This sudden turn of events terrified everyone present; even the dragon-headed figure forgot to speak.

Ruomeng comforted Yang Mu in a very appropriate tone, which made Yang Mu feel that she must have experienced no less than he had; otherwise, she would not have arrived at such profound life lessons. Consequently, Yang Mu naturally thought of Xuan Mu.
