Gao Bo’s body swayed several times before he finally collapsed, lying sprawled on the ground like a large character, utterly powerless.
This was because Li Shimin had issued an order of silence. Apart from a select few, no outsiders had any way of knowing.
The elevator had stopped on the first floor. Chen Ji glanced to the right; he clearly wanted to go to Dong Kelan’s ward at the end of the corridor and take a look.
Like Yu Chujian, Ye Linxi loved spicy food—she was the sort who could not bear a meal without it and would eat it as hot as it could possibly be.
Ye Linxi smiled. She truly had no idea what she ought to do, but Lu Cheng was always there ahead of her. At the very least, Lu Cheng would never give up on her, so she would never give up on him either.
Yet when Yang Luo saw how wretched Yang Dekun looked, he could not feel happy at all. Instead, a trace of guilt rose in his heart.
The powerful men who had brought bodyguards withdrew swiftly under their protection, while everyone else scattered and ran about in a chaotic frenzy.
Chen Shounian knew perfectly well that they were deliberately making things difficult for Chen Xinghua, but he did not dare say a word. He merely looked at Chen Xinghua helplessly.
The moment the wild grass on the ground sprang up, it began dancing wildly, while a vast swarm of flying needles had already reached the Fat Man’s eyes. At that critical instant, a ball of light swept forward in an arc and shot toward Yabu. As soon as Yabu noticed it, a flash of brilliance burst before his eyes, and he could see nothing at all.
As a series of explosions rang out, several of the pursuing magical beasts were knocked to the ground by Mu Yu’s sudden burst of light-orbs. The other beasts were checked by the light-orbs and immediately halted their pursuit, looking up to investigate.
“Stop wasting time. Let’s head down to the second level. We’ll try to reach level one hundred and eighty today!” Bing Cha sniffed, a trace of hope in her eyes.
“Bullshit! There are plenty of Chinese men with courage. Fine, let me see whether this lot has any backbone.” Ma Qian’an signaled Wei Guangshen to translate.

“Besides that, one branch of the Nine Demons Sect, one of the three evil cults, practices a spiritual martial art that can reach a state beyond shadow and form after sunset. Of course, in broad daylight like this, they could not be responsible.” Miss Su continued speaking.
Gao Fei had everything put in order, then left the military camp with Zhao Yun and Jia Xu. The three rode together, exiting the city through the Upper West Gate. They circled around the outskirts of the capital, then entered again through the same gate, wandering through the various marketplaces and streets to experience the charm of Luoyang, the ancient capital of Han.
“If he had no certainty, surely Commander Ma would not have spoken so decisively, would he?” Chen Rui stared at Ma Qian’an’s solemn face for a long while before finally making up his mind and nodding.
“All right, we should leave!” Before Lucy could excitedly take Rod into her hands, he continued speaking.
“Ah—I didn’t mean it that way.” Zhan Feihong let out a long sigh. Why was communicating with her always so difficult?
Whenever he thought of Lu Shuqing—once such a gifted and refined man—Zhao Ruo knew could never imagine that he would become like this.
A bullet had pierced straight through his head. The corpse collapsed limply, and Mo Jinyang felt like a condemned prisoner who had just been pardoned; the pressure weighing on him vanished in an instant.
The Nine-Tailed Scarlet Heaven Fox was now even more eager to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, sooner or later, it would be transformed into nourishment for his body.
“Brother Feng, look. The sacrifice of the five viscera and six bowels is almost complete. Is your mind working any better now? Have you remembered anything?” Seeing that he had finally stopped, Jin Jiang asked with a chuckle.
Shusheng wanted Qiuhong to cook them something to eat, so Qiuhong had no choice but to do so. In truth, she had already eaten. She had even thought to herself, I simply won’t call you. Let’s see how long you can hold out.
I heard there was one on Dragon Family Mountain as well. In recent years, however, people had gone up the mountain and felled trees in great numbers. It seemed that the tree had lost the vital energy of the earth; now it was merely a withered pine, waiting to be eroded by the grime of wind, frost, and passing years.
“Do as you see fit. Just don’t let all this money go to waste. Even if you throw it into the water, you’d better at least let me hear it make a splash.” Ye Bai spoke casually.

“Class is over! At last, class is over!” When A Fa saw the boy sitting in the back row, he suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.
The government fleet had been sailing for less than three days. During their rest that night, more than a dozen ships were set ablaze by the Night Walkers. Seeing the vessels blazing fiercely before him, Grand Marshal Li was consumed by fury. The flames could not even be extinguished with water; whenever water was poured over them, they grew stronger, and they had already set many nearby ships alight.
Seeing this, Yang Zihao and Jiang Fusheng silently withdrew their respective spiritual artifacts. The reason those people had not taken their artifacts was perhaps that, if they were dead, most of the artifacts could not be used.
Old Meng and Mr. Luo finally met. Their conversation was recounted, along with the news that interrupted it.
“Yes, Senior. Those two are my friends. One of them is Luo Yishan, who now serves in the cathedral of the royal city. As for the other, his name is Zhang Zhan. It would be better not to mention him.” Whenever Zhang Zhan came up, the Grand Elder’s disgust was unmistakable.
Gu Yue naturally knew that this was the Blood-Spirit Mark. The thing could indeed unleash a certain power in times of danger, but he also knew that it possessed another function: tracking. Once someone had been branded with the Blood-Spirit Mark, finding them would be as easy as turning over one’s hand, even if they fled to the ends of the earth.
She performed an ancient and sacred dance, graceful and unhurried—or rather, it was less a dance than an imitation of the movements and postures of the heavenly gods. Every gesture, every lift of her hand, every smile and sidelong glance was breathtakingly beautiful.
Gu Yue did not dare sense the Undead Curse. Yet he had already been afflicted by it, and therefore he could certainly perceive the curse’s consciousness within his own sea of awareness.
Dan Ning had vanished—vanished forever. Why, then, did he wish to seek out her original form, Ninkasi?
By joining the ranks of the gods, he would be able to live forever and become an existence equal to the various deities. He would no longer need to live by watching their expressions. He could continue protecting the person he loved and the human world he cherished, while preserving justice and order between heaven and earth.
