Volume 1, Chapter 122: Snapping Pictures of Me?
Upon hearing the news, Zhu Jun pondered that the Yellow Turbans must be intending to rendezvous with the remnants of their forces in the Taihang Mountains, assuming they would not lay siege to the city.
Rinnosuke is not a pure human, but a half-human, half-yokai entity, and one possessing vast, profound knowledge at that. Such an individual shares a great deal of common ground with Teacher Keine. Thus, even though Keine offloads these troublesome tasks onto him every time, he accepts them gladly.
The other figure, though equally tall, was clad in pitch-black battle armor. An aura that seemed to freeze all things in the world leaked from him, and he wore a crown of the bright moon upon his head, appearing like a king wandering through the dark night, representing the very essence of darkness.
A quasi-monarch is a level even higher than the Great Perfection of the God-King realm. Once one steps into this stage, it signifies that all aspects have reached a state of completion, making them even more terrifying.
"Haha. Go ahead, brother Kenny. I'm listening." George also understood that Dalglish did not want to make the atmosphere so somber, so he followed Dalglish’s lead, laughing as he spoke.
Long Fei could not be certain whether the soil layers on the ground had changed or if the rainwater had played a role.
Putting aside whether Murong Aoxue had the strength to annihilate the Chen Family Manor, Chen Banshan did not know the true extent of his own manor's power, and he was thoroughly terrified for the moment.
Ye Feng wore a suspicious expression. "Bizarre. Even though these are only late-stage Void realm entities, they are able to evade my attacks. What exactly are these flowers?" Needless to say, the drunkard himself did not know what these flowers were, which only added to his anxiety.
Three were already dead, which meant that out of the five who had not returned, three were already gone.
He truly could not believe what he was seeing; he was absolutely certain that he had not misunderstood, and that the contract was indeed written exactly as it appeared.
Ghost-Mask Gu Yu knew of this eccentric's medical skills, so seeing the porcelain bottle, he did not hesitate. With a slight smile, he opened the cloth stopper and drank it in one gulp. "Thank you." After offering his thanks, Ghost-Mask Gu Yu left the room.
After all, he was a person who enjoyed meddling in other people's business; since he had encountered the situation, he certainly would not sit idly by, but would instead investigate the matter until it was clear.

After Luo Wusheng regained his freedom, he straightened his clothes, which had become somewhat disheveled from being tugged by Ghost-Mask Gu Yu. He then stretched his limbs, twisting his waist to the left and right, and rotating his shoulders, his mental calculations already beginning to take shape.
That unscheduled debate had caused quite a delay. By now, the sky had fully brightened, and the hunt was about to formally begin. Although Crown Prince Jian was disappointed, he still steeled himself and, along with the Chancellor of Qi, led everyone to stand beneath the wooden ritual platform to hold the pre-hunt sacrificial ceremony.
Wang Yuehan was suddenly stunned, not knowing what to say, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
The face that usually wore a faint smile now slowly turned ferocious. Lin Wei realized he had to show some real ability! Having just ascended to the position of leader of the Shield, suffering such a loss of face in front of his own members—even someone with the deepest of schemes would likely find it unbearable.
"Do you think that by removing the two of us, you can change anything?" another person standing there said.
The dormitory door was pushed open, and a student of average build entered, calling out to his roommates who were still asleep.
Ma Teng had emptied Liang Province of its troops, leaving these commanderies and counties virtually undefended. However, the path he traveled gave Zhang Jie a deeper understanding of Liang Province. Everywhere was desolate, and the cities were in complete ruin.
"Whether it is Eastern Que or Southern Qiu, our Blue Boat organization has a clear grasp of anyone with any real power. Yet, we have never heard of a master with such remarkable metal-working skills. You certainly do not belong to Eastern Que or Southern Qiu," Dian Fei'er said, probing and luring in an attempt to pry some information out of Luo Tian.
The essence of the two was the same, but the version of him in the distorted mirror had been demonized into something else; this was his understanding of parallel worlds.
Following this, Hao Huan stopped provoking Zhou Zhongcai. Before his parents returned, he hurried back to his room to sleep, avoiding any trouble; if his parents saw that he had been squandering money on Weibo again, there would certainly be no good outcome for him.
"It is still the same as before. The cultivators at the Spirit Transformation and even Integration realms dispatched by each sect are still desperately trying to repair the gaps. Battles between the immortals and demons remain frequent, but the fighting has not spread too widely and is still contained around Jinxi City," Xue Mei relayed the information she knew to Yu Wan.
Han Jiangxue cleared the thoughts from her mind before calling Hong Tao over to help her dress.

"You don't need to worry about these things. When the time is right, I will tell you," Hao Rui repeated, his face still devoid of any expression.
Han Jiangxue, with an extremely composed manner, patiently explained this statement to the Fourth Prince and the wide-eyed Han Lingyu.
Although she had items in her own space, one set was clearly not enough. Moreover, without a proper excuse to hide them, they would eventually be discovered by others. If she were really questioned about it, it would be a major problem if she could not provide a good answer.
"Exactly, your mother is right. Our Rusue Company is a large enterprise collaborating with the Jingzhu Group; we cannot afford the slightest mistake. This is our responsibility to the company," Ning Yuan also hurriedly shook his head and said.
Later, when Tian Yuxi and Chen Yixiao arrived with their forces, the Heavenly Demon Palace broke their promise, abandoning Chancellor Chen and fleeing with their people.
Hearing this, Ye Xinlan put down her spatula, handed it to Lin Lang, wiped her hands, and walked over to Lin Nan.
After Chen Nan finished speaking, Wu Yunyue was left speechless. Hearing Chen Nan criticize this proud son of heaven, she found herself unable to offer a single word of rebuttal.
The Mighty Savage Water Crocodile had always been extremely respectful toward Xue, and the Saint Beast Mermaid was also grateful to these companions who had risked their lives to save it. Therefore, they remained in the space that could collapse at any moment, waiting for Jun Wunian and the others.
At this moment, Ji Bai turned his gaze toward Chen Nan, only to see that Chen Nan remained calm, his expression without the slightest ripple.
