He had always wanted to test it—to see what level Xie Xing had reached after the Spark Refining Tower, and whether he could endure a fierce battle with him for three hundred rounds—but there was no sign. After countless failures, Yi Chen finally prepared a breakfast that looked decent enough to satisfy himself before bringing it out. One by one, young soldiers and anti-narcotics officers fell silently under gunfire and explosions. Selecting his sister Pang Lin, he infused all the secrets of the inheritance into her soul—what exactly were his intentions? Xia Jingyun chuckled as he walked toward the hall, suddenly understanding why Jiang Yuhu so enjoyed “teasing” Young Master Bai. Chu Ji wrapped the softest part of his body around her back; the two pressed closely together inside the car, inseparable. In truth, he was making preparations. Every sword mark on the ground carried a sword aura. When these marks formed a sword formation, Xie Xing stopped at its center. Through the Ice Tribe’s divine altar, as the deity’s consciousness descended, part of its divine power also came down, seizing the opportunity to enter Pang Jian’s true body, only to be extracted when Pang Jian refined his immortal primordial spirit. These strands of sword aura trembled. Under Xie Xing’s spiritual power and fate technique, they formed a sword formation, temporarily suppressing the spread of the Flame Pillar. Two forces clashed, locked in mutual struggle. If Bai He truly intended to kill it, its only recourse seemed to be fleeing swiftly within the deceptive mist. He gritted his teeth, wondering who hadn’t noticed how angrily he was speaking at that moment—he himself felt this emotion came inexplicably. In this world, there were not only cultivators and ancient martial artists but also individuals with supernatural powers, liches, vengeful spirits, and many others. Since Meng Po knew the emperor’s identity and even sent a King of Hell to the mortal realm to capture me, why not just state the purpose outright? Because everyone usually indulged Gao Haoran, even if he did something outrageous, they would cover or smooth things over for him, gradually giving Gao Qiwei the illusion that his son had improved.

“Very well, I’ll wait by the door. If anything feels off, call me immediately,” Eric advised, stepping out of the bathroom and closing the door behind him. Bao Tianlei stood dumbfounded, his mind flooded with countless expletives rushing through like wild torrents, the trampled grass blooming into flowers... After a long moment, he finally retrieved his dropped jaw, thinking, “So it can be done this way!?” Peng Jun spoke to Gu Shangyan, who was happily running about. Gu Shangyan ignored him and dashed toward the largest shopping mall owned by the Empress Dowager, glancing back at Peng Jun as he ran. Peng Jun sighed helplessly and followed him inside. Akli suddenly performed three gestures resembling European, Caribbean, and African greeting customs, causing Ye Tianfeng to think: if he weren’t so well-traveled, he might have been startled. On the table, three elemental spirit pearls had vanished; the Five Elements Wheel had noticeably grown larger, its wood, earth, and water blades sharper and imbued with vitality. Xue Lin did not refute the statement—it was true, leaving no room for him to harbor alternate thoughts or denial. Seeing Ning Feifei cease, Yun Xuan’s face remained expressionless, but relief flooded his heart. Yet these forces, like the sharp swords just now, became void upon reaching Tang Ye’s position, failing to strike him as if he were transparent. At that moment, Dantai Wan’er came to the hall and, seeing Yun Xuan had not broken through, frowned slightly. Then a voice faded, and a massive influx of knowledge suddenly filled Lin Yu’s mind—medical mysteries, cultivation techniques, and ancestral travel experiences poured in all at once. Yet Mu Hanshuang, trapped within, was blinded by hatred and killing intent, focused solely on taking lives, oblivious to the fact that her survival until now was due to others’ mercy. “You go ashore to open the way. Report immediately if anything seems wrong!” Before Long Ci could speak, Number Seven took the initiative to issue the command. The audience below silently bowed their heads, pondering Wang Cong’s implication and further convinced that the Dream Team was indeed throwing matches. “Don’t be upset. I promise that once you complete this mission, you can leave here and achieve great things either on Earth Village or with Long Ci,” Long Ci, always perceptive, thought Hui Zi was a decent person after these days of interaction.

“Look closely, the person sitting inside that white Land Rover isn’t Du Yunlong!” I said slowly. “However, before heading south, I must first eliminate some hidden dangers,” Murong De said, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes before he vanished. Speaking of which, he had been stationed in Jiuquan for some time, yet no prominent family had proactively come to visit him. Without the backing of a powerful deity, lacking immense strength, and without at least several million mortals as bargaining chips, Greta felt her path was shrouded in darkness, with no dawn in sight. The following hundreds of pages detailed various business dealings, legal relationships, and financial data among companies. The original plan was to build another city here, but due to a shortage of manpower and a sparse population under his rule, maintaining Beta City alone was challenging, so the project was temporarily shelved. Moving inward about fifty meters, they entered the inner hall of the supreme sect. Lin Feng concluded the executive meeting concerning Fengxing Company’s future destiny with an inspiring speech. By three or four in the afternoon, Mu Bai felt too lazy to go to the company and chose to return home. Unexpectedly, Ni Yinyin and the two others did not seem to be at home. However, despite Karin’s soul being indomitable, it lost consciousness as it was frozen into an ice sculpture. Finally, the long-anticipated meeting arrived. Hai Ruolan clenched the handkerchief tightly, her face pale. Upon entering the garden, she saw Feng Wuhen standing beneath an osmanthus tree, hands behind his back, looking somewhat lost, seemingly unaware of her arrival. Her heart ached, and the handkerchief silently fell to the ground. Purchasing property was a serious matter that required a man’s involvement. Wang Ce and Gu Anran were likely discussing this very matter, and informing Gu Wan was a testament to her high standing in the family.
