Besides, the Black Nine-Word Army had no personal grievance with Young Master Xue to begin with; everything was solely on account of Ah Li, and he could explain the matter regarding Ah Li.
Immediately after, Dongfang Wuya collided with that towering fiend, followed by a deafening roar as ice shards and sparks flew in all directions. Dongfang Wuya let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward straight out of the center of the explosion. With a swift thought, Feng Qingcheng moved nimbly forward to catch Dongfang Wuya's body.
The Vice City Lord was too stunned to speak, but seeing his usually serious and rigorous City Lord display such an expression, a wave of respect welled up in his heart, leaving him in no doubt about the City Lord's words: high-level powerhouses were indeed fighting for them up in the void.
Xuanyuan Yi walked over and saw Feng Qi roasting an unfamiliar item; perhaps it was already fully cooked, making it impossible to tell what kind of meat it was.
Just as he was about to call out, a fresh flurry of even more hurried footsteps sounded from downstairs. Everyone in the Hundred Flowers Hall exchanged glances. Another group? Whose people could this be?
"Don't even mention it," Mu Feinan shook his head, walking over to the table. Upon noticing the wine cup deeply embedded in the wood, a trace of surprise crossed his face. With a measured slap of his hand against the table, he said, "Whoever offended you, it's a pity for such a fine table." As his voice trailed off, the cup popped out with a whoosh.
"These steamed buns are quite soft and flaky; Ziyu and Shaojie, you should try some as well!" Wu Pei and Mo Shaojie were both clever people, and upon hearing this, they naturally understood his intent. Wu Pei took a bun from Yao Shan's hand and broke it in half, handing one portion to Mo Shaojie. The two of them then tore off a piece each and popped it into their mouths.
When Yang Ming arrived at Yang Hua's home, Yang Hua and his wife were busy preparing dinner. Seeing Yang Ming arrive, he hastily invited him inside to take a seat.
Wanwan clutched a soft whip in her hand—a whip that had once belonged to Ziyiyi, who had given it to Wanwan when she turned nine.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let's do it!" With that, he rushed to the money shop, exchanged two thousand five hundred taels of silver banknotes, and handed them to Wu Siyuan, instructing him to go to the Jingzhao Prefecture and pay respects to Prefect Zhu Xin! Clutching the banknotes, Wu Siyuan set off immediately for the Jingzhao Prefecture.
No wonder Tianyi claimed she could never find Tianyu; as it turned out, Tianyu had actually come to a place like the City of Yellow Springs! Had she never set foot in the City of Yellow Springs, she would never have guessed that Tianyu was hiding here.
They had been summoned by the Empress Dowager to attend the Lotus Banquet purely as a pleasant surprise, completely unaware of what auspicious event was about to unfold.
On the high viewing platform overlooking the martial arts arena, Muran lowered his head in astonishment, gazing at Yun Luofeng, who sat with her eyes lightly closed, her expression filled with doubt.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuanqing let out a low chuckle. "What do you mean?" Her voice was husky and dark as she suddenly stepped forward two paces and abruptly whipped off the cowl covering her head. As the hood fell away, a face that had been utterly and hideously destroyed was suddenly exposed before Xiao Minyuan's eyes.
Especially when President Wang invited them to leave, Chu Yunfeng felt a surge of humiliated fury.
They had clearly been informed that the Second Uncle had remained within the estate and never stepped outside before he and Gu Xu set out. Just when had he gone out?
Seeing this and fearing that Liu Yanhan might let his temper get the better of him and utter something inappropriate, he intervened, "Logically speaking, now that Brother Duan has met with such a tragedy and passed away, some things ought not to be said."
"Understood!" Two spatial fissures materialized around Derek, from which stepped two figures clad in leather armor, one right after the other.
No one noticed that amidst the chaos, Hui'er—who had originally been standing beside Xinghong—quietly shifted the incense burner resting by the windowsill, imperceptibly nudging it out the window into a pile of weeds before slipping back silently to Xinghong's side.
Feng Qiao felt a mild flutter of anxiety under Liao Chusiu's gaze. She knew about Shao Jin's affairs simply because, in her past life, Shao Jin had constantly opposed the Feng family and later almost managed to get Feng Yuanshu killed; however, this reason could never be divulged to a soul.
Ji Wuhen's expression shifted drastically. A powerhouse of this caliber already stood at the absolute apex of heaven and earth; even when facing quasi-emperor figures, a Saint King possessed the standing to speak with authority.
In the afternoon, one thousand men known for their physical stamina, sprinting prowess, and archery skills were selected. Each was equipped with a crossbow, feathered arrows, and personal weaponry such as a sword or saber, ready to set out immediately upon horseback. Pei Yuanshao swiftly ordered the fortress gates sealed, mounting the city walls to maintain a constant guard.
"Hmm." The Toad Who Eats Phoenixes mused thoughtfully, just as a troop of Xianbei cavalry came thundering forward, their warhorses charging past as a sharp saber cleaved down toward him.
Upon entering the ape demon encampment, they found fewer than a hundred men engaged in combat with over a hundred ape demons. Those wielding wooden clubs and single-handed sabers fought in the front lines in close quarters with the humans, while those hurling stones and shooting bows provided ranged support from the rear.
Everyone wanted to know whether the youthful and arrogant Master of the Yutian Sect would truly fall under the joint siege of the Divine Kings?
Afterward, Fang Yi filled Shen Binan in on the details regarding Zheng Pengfei. Upon hearing the account, Shen Binan's bright and radiant eyes instantly turned glacial.

Even so, the fact that the Golden-Winged Great Roc could maintain such grand bravado at this juncture was truly admirable.
As the eldest son of Liu Zhang, Liu Xun had no choice left save to fight to the death and defend the city. At this moment, however, he showed not a shred of fear, standing upright and stern at the vanguard.
By the time everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they discovered with astonishment that within a single fleeting instant, dozens of lives had been lost on the field.
Liu Yong once again dispatched someone to summon Kuai Yue, offering him words of encouragement, urging him to faithfully fulfill his duties, and advising him on devising strategies for the two generals.
"Yes!" The disciples chorused in unison, falling into an orderly queue before entering the stone houses one by one.
"Well, I'll head back first, Xiaolei. See you tomorrow." Tan Yu'er suddenly took her leave for reasons known only to herself, as a damp sensation blooming between her thighs demanded that she return immediately to deal with it.
"That is also a good idea," Leng Qingshi nodded. In the business world, such psychological warfare was par for the course.
Shao Peiqian's face flushed crimson instantly. She had blurted it out in a moment of panic without considering the consequences, and what she feared most right now was Shao Meiqian's reaction.
Lu Chengjun, however, suffered a severe jolt of shock. A moment's reflection told her with absolute certainty that the person Jiang Sining referred to was none other than herself! It was Jiang Cengning who had strongly recommended Jiang Chengnhe, and she had even claimed to have seen the medicinal prescription long beforehand. Could today's incident be a trap she and Jiang Chengnhe had concocted together to frame her?
