As she spoke, she gently traced her finger along Xu Ziqian’s thin, cold lips. Xu Ziqian stiffened, beads of sweat breaking out across his brow, and he found himself involuntarily parting his lips to lightly bite her slender finger.

"Everyone, what you see now is the story of the Fourth Era," Frey said slowly. The group looked around—the blue sky, white clouds, golden sun, and the surrounding earth, flowers, and trees created a picturesque pastoral scene.

"What is it?" Li Yiru blinked her large eyes. She didn't care that Shanshan and Ying'er were keeping secrets from her; she only wanted to hear what it was.

"Well, I'm very happy! A-He, thank you..." A-Chou thanked him, though A-He seemed unwilling to accept such formalities from her.

Although Kars’s power and speed had reached the level of Zheng Zha’s "Destruction"—even the current version of it—after suffering at the hands of the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, Kars no longer dared to rely on his "ultimate lifeform" body to force his way through.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about. Move aside..." What an unreasonable person. With a hardened heart, she dragged her luggage past him.

The VIP guests always arrived late, so the wealthy socialites and their families would arrive at the banquet hall early, taking their assigned seats according to the conference arrangements.

It was only through great effort that he had managed to find out that the management of the imperial concubines had been assigned to the Sun clan, Mu Biwei, and the He clan.

"Second Sister, it would be best to speak with more caution! She is currently a concubine, and that was the Old Prince's personal decree! You wouldn't want the Old Prince to invite you for tea, would you?" Ye Liufang arched an eyebrow at Ye Liuxiang.

In the chaos, Feng Jie caught a fleeting glimpse of that stunning sword strike. The decapitated avatar of the mechanical warrior was utterly obliterated, its body ceasing all movement and failing to manifest further clones.

Often, the battle strategies Mu Feng proposed were initially drafted by his disciples themselves. However, as he continuously added conditions and adjusted the content in the later stages, the final design would become unrecognizable, yet flawless.

Saving Elder Shen could wait. Li Zheng and Xia Ke decided to listen a while longer to see what else would be said.

Primordial energy is divine and highly sensitive; ordinary weapons cannot withstand its intensity, let alone serve as vessels for its transmission.

Terrifying power descended upon him, overwhelming even his constant defensive aura, which seemed to vanish as the force ravaged his body.

It was at this moment, just as Xu Mu and the others appeared, that all the bone beasts turned their heads in unison to stare at them. Their hollow eye sockets flickered with excitement and brutality, underscored by an extreme, bone-chilling cold.

Pan Li could create a vortex on the ground, turning solid earth into something resembling a swamp to slow the advance of wild beasts.

The most vivid scene was his walk down the street immediately after leaving the Dihua Hotel.

"Don't worry, the array is already set. No matter how strong this old man is, he isn't a Seventh-Tier expert. This world lacks the foundation to allow for a Seventh-Tier presence." Xu Luan was confident, his face filled with smugness.

Rong Huan had never done anything so reckless before. Encountering it suddenly, she felt exceptionally excited, adjusted the long sword on her back, and followed closely behind.

In the outside world, when "Zhang Kun" opened his eyes, he looked surprised and delighted. He raised his hands to examine them and couldn't help but kick his feet.

For the players, the most convincing evidence was the series of items they had already looted from the underground royal palace.

The office was silent. Ding Baoguo remained quiet, and the three members of the Provincial Bureau’s Cybercrime Division held their tongues. As for the other Huilong police officers, they simply looked at one another, at a loss for words.

Hu Butao continued to use his "Charm Eyes" to reshape the spiritual consciousness of the Feng brothers, a process far more complex and dangerous than he had imagined.

"Thank you, Great Elder. Please forgive Lin Feng for his rudeness. Receiving your support is the greatest stroke of luck for me. Rest assured, I will not let you down." Chu Linfeng spoke vaguely, leaving the Golden Dragon Great Elder unsure if he could truly transform into a golden dragon.

Furthermore, the Tyrant’s cruelty was not directed solely at outsiders; he was equally harsh within his own ranks, especially toward his military. The Tyrant could not accept failure from his forces, nor could he tolerate his soldiers becoming prisoners of war or his warships becoming trophies of the enemy's might.

This action startled Elena, but the familiar aura immediately told her who was behind her. Her rigid body relaxed. Without turning around, she looked at the sunlight outside the window, and suddenly, her mood improved significantly.

Entering the hall, the banquet was already in full swing. Countless people laughed and chatted, some gathered in groups to speak freely, while others walked about with wine glasses, socializing...

The BOSS General's two subordinates were incredibly loyal, stepping forward together to resist Yang Yang's attack. Yet, Yang Yang ignored them entirely, as they would naturally be dealt with by others.

The Sea of Emptiness was different; the further one sailed toward its interior, the dimmer the starlight became, until reaching the center, where there was nothing to be seen but endless, desolate void.

When Xing Yang discovered that all the "Motigen" limbs had appeared at the auction, both he and old Carus grew vigilant, their eyes scanning the venue for any potential suspects.

"Damn it, I can't do anything right now." Yan Yi rolled his eyes in frustration, desperately wanting to stab Wang Hailong, and then stab himself.

Its gait was erratic, like a child who had just learned to walk, yet the power it exuded was terrifying. With every step it took, a deep, long-reaching crack appeared in the earth.

"Zhou Ming, did you plan all of this from the start?" After a while, Zhao Jiaqi seemed to regain her sharp edge, asking with a feigned, vicious intensity.
