Although Ning Qing had gone to bed late, she rose early the next day, quietly preparing herself in the adjacent room before returning to wake Xue Lengyu. Unaware of Zhan Fengsong’s internal struggle and suppressed anxiety, Xue Lengyu was overwhelmed with confusion, pondering how events had taken such a turn and what might come next. She wondered just how far his patience with her would extend.

The sharp clash of weapons rang out, delighting everyone’s ears at that critical moment. Another figure swiftly intervened, drawing his sword and blocking a deadly strike just in time. “Captain Dongxian, this simply won’t do...” came a languid voice.

Chen An furrowed his brow, about to ask a question, when the old master Chen suddenly took several deep breaths and let his hand fall from the edge of the bed.

“What is it?” Having endured so much, Riban Gu’s mind was in turmoil, and his tone was naturally less than pleasant.

“What? Do I have to report to Young Master Liu when I arrive in Shanghai?” Faced with Liu Chao’s inquiry, Liu Xiaoxing adopted an arrogant demeanor, responding with a faint and cutting sarcasm.

Bang! The bathroom door was slammed shut forcefully, startling everyone in the ward. No one knew what he intended to do; all they could do was wait.

“Ah, isn’t this our Li Yuan Society leader, the venerable Sheng Yan Lin Yufeng?” Suddenly, a sarcastic voice sounded as a young man stood and approached the two.

However, this resolution did not imply killing the other party. Had he not heard Zhao Yueyue mention that the Ma and Zhao families were old acquaintances, Liu Xiaoxing might have considered it. But now, the matter required careful handling.

Madam Zhong swiftly approached Shui’er, then, as usual, gently placed her hand upon her and smiled softly at her.

Boom... At that moment, a tremendous sound came from afar, as if the entire Chaoyi building shook slightly.

That day, the main peak of the Izumo Sect, Ziyang Peak, was crowded with people and fluttering banners, bustling with activity. Five martial arts platforms had been erected around massive statues in Yunmiao Square. In the very center stood a towering viewing stand, rising majestically. The tense yet lively atmosphere was unmistakable.

“You bastard, you even threw sea urchins!” Zhang Fan, no longer able to stay calm, cursed loudly at the sea.

Cang Ming crashed into the emerald bamboo ahead, severing dozens of stalks. Fortunately, Zhao Ming leapt down just in time; otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

“At that time, I was right here, watching that person cautiously observe the entire light screen,” a voice echoed again, but from a different direction.

Amid the joy was an all-encompassing pain. Under the heavy pressure of the harsh wind, he could not settle to heal. In truth, he knew his injuries were severe and would not heal quickly.

Under Gaomu’s direction, five people split into four groups to explore the four directions of the temple. The distance from here to the entrance was over a hundred kilometers. At this range, Ailu easily controlled the solar-level creatures. All solar-level dangerous species had to be eliminated before proceeding with the next phase of the plan.

At this moment, Chen Feng and Hanmei Aosue, along with others, also rose and approached Wang Shichong and his group.

As Gu Lingtian’s words fell, the chimes of the Four Absolute City rang out, resonating through the clouds and sky. The once-in-fifty-years Grand Martial Gathering had finally begun.

Elsewhere, a dozen construction machines began work. Considering the project was to be completed in just over a decade, they had to hurry or risk not finishing on time.

This strategy might have been brilliant in a typical ancient siege, but clearly, this second brother had yet to grasp whom he was dealing with.

The voice echoing beneath the starry sky was both sacred and noble. Its powerful aura brought a soothing calm to the hearts of Luori Town’s residents.

Within the Caroline family, besides Caroline herself, nine other members had qualified to practice the Dawn Guidance Technique.

“Enough, stop bullying him.” It was still Hei Ye who saw the bigger picture. Of course, that was the heartfelt wish at first; but when Hei Ye spoke a second time, Yuanwang nearly wanted to kill these two scoundrels.

“Perhaps some accident has occurred in the mortal realm. Deer King, go back to Changsheng Heaven and see who dares to be so bold as to invade our Changsheng Heaven,” the Wolf King said to the Deer King.

Now that Liu Lang intended to deal with the kitchen knife by sealing it, she was more than happy—this was, in a way, avenging herself.

Pinching the planet between her fingers, Xiangruo’s fingers actually touched the planet itself. She did not know where exactly, but she guessed that side was currently experiencing cataclysmic upheaval.

Clutching the firewood stick tightly, silently chanting words of protection, this group of barbarians had no concept of morality but were alarmingly skilled in ambush tactics.

Compared to Germany’s grand designs for world war, the newly founded SPW was nothing, even though it was based not in Germany but faraway Mexico.

“The Luo family is willing to withdraw from Jiangbei completely; my rebellious son is at your lordship’s disposal. I beg for your forgiveness,” Luo Feng said, drenched in cold sweat.

Now that Peggy had been bitten by a dog, goosebumps covered her entire body. Losing control, she screamed and shouted, almost ready to strip off her pants and flee at all costs.

Her master, Shenyu, was actually quite unskilled in swordsmanship and close combat. Thus, Wang Zuo had only learned some so-called “moves” from Shenyu; everything else he had to figure out on his own.
