Lu Xiaoxiao grabbed me hurriedly, pulling me behind a large mound of earth to hide. The two of us crouched there, not daring to breathe. Fortunately, that row of red lanterns was not coming toward us; instead, they lined up neatly along the edge of the ravine.
“Tonight’s task is to breach the Yellow River embankment—everyone, work quickly!” someone shouted orders.
Those who had been sleeping before were now roused. Previously, Captain Yamamoto had repeatedly unleashed flames, raising the surrounding temperature with each burst, causing even their body heat to rise. Toshiro Hitsugaya’s head was covered with a fine sheen of sweat from the heat.
The Land of Water, the Hidden Water Village—although less illustrious than the Five Great Nations and their villages, it was without question the strongest in the world’s second tier. The Hidden Water Village once had the power to participate in the legendary First Five Kage Summit to divide the tailed beasts, earning it the unofficial title of the Sixth Great Ninja Village.
The giant platform sat rock-solid at the center of the plaza; the golden swordlight faded, and a white figure gracefully descended onto it.
Could it be an assassination attempt on the Mizukage? Or perhaps a coup? Yuuhi Hoshigaki would never dare such treason; the Third Mizukage’s prestige was still formidable.

Li Weiting motioned for her to step down, knowing that Lin Sese would not be comfortable being treated like a supervisor standing guard.
When the divine artifact appeared, an immense pressure fell upon Zheng Donglin like a mountain. He struggled to lift his head, desperately resisting the tidal wave of sorrow and desolation that surged over him.
As if hearing the disturbance inside the Kanata Heavenly House, footsteps slowly approached and stopped at the door.
The Great Perfection of Taishakuten—no matter how strong the primordial masters, none could break through the Sovereign Realm. It was often the crushing weight of repeated failure that shattered their confidence.
At this thought, Yun Shu’s eyes darkened. Whether intentional or not, she owed Wei Minglan a great debt after this mission—one that had to be repaid.
Otherwise, a dignified sovereign-level warrior would never resort to ambushing a Taishakuten.
Suddenly, a loud “boom!” echoed as a large hole appeared in the ground. A massive red panda burst forth, roaring mightily.
Hearing this, Ye Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Gu Hua must be unaware of his own situation to say such things.
It was worth noting that even the Su family’s best record only reached this point; any attempt to advance further ended in failure.
Lin Yu and Lei Yang walked out together, heading to the designated meeting point at the foot of the mountain. Finding no one else there yet, they settled in to wait patiently.

“For example, honor and status, gold and silver, or even work,” Coral explained to Avi with a smile.
After three consecutive questions, Liu Xinzhang was left speechless, retreating step by step, cold sweat streaming from his brow, his face pale as death.
Li Changkong looked at the food and wine before him, then glanced at the flamboyantly mature Shen Sanwan. He kept muttering inwardly that Shen Sanwan must have been tracking them all along—otherwise, how else would he know their whereabouts?
After leaving, Ye Feng immediately searched for Mingxin’s trail. Before long, he spotted Mingxin being forcefully thrown far away by Nangong Qian at the last moment.
Charm Bee, ever meticulous, thought to herself that the Langya Wolf was courting death. Although she liked him, she could not risk her own safety. She thus took Gu Die’s hand and retreated behind Jiang Zicheng, torn between conflicting emotions.
Su Sheng fixed his gaze on the top three, itching to snatch what belonged to them.
Tang Long shrugged with a smile and said, “You help us out of goodwill, yet the people of Fish Head Village still make money off you. What do they take us for? Do you think we’re fools? Didn’t you say you’d organize classmates to help test our route?”
Therefore, it must have been when Ji Yan suddenly announced that decision and the meeting room erupted in conflict that someone recorded the incident. Just thinking about this made them trust Ji Yan’s judgment.
