A massive battle in the South China Sea left both sides devastated and caused catastrophic destruction. Countless islands were razed, and the tsunamis triggered by the conflict resulted in immense casualties for coastal nations and their people. The entire Blue Sea Star faced the threat of total annihilation.
Huang Cen could not confirm this, or perhaps, deep down, he was hoping for such an outcome so he could take advantage of the chaos. Yet, such thoughts seemed beneath him.
"Did you get a clear look at the two men in black?" Niu Li asked. To dare intercept the forces of the Martial Emperor’s Palace was an act of war against the Martial Emperor himself.
Passersby, however, wore only cold, indifferent expressions, as if they were blind to the lively scene, or perhaps they had simply seen such spectacles too often for them to be of any interest.
"Gege, don't walk near the mountain path! It’s dangerous!" Zhao Tingxuan felt a surge of worry as he watched Jiang Nuan bouncing along the edge of the trail, and he reached out to pull her to his side.
"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!" Jiang Nuan hurriedly tried to brush the candied hawthorn off the person she had bumped into, but the sticky, viscous syrup clung to the fabric, refusing to come off.
Linghu Yuzhong, standing in the great hall alongside Hai Ling, felt his fists clench until his knuckles turned white, but he dared not act out in front of his grandmaster. Just then, seeing a visiting disciple outside the hall gesturing frantically, he hurriedly stepped out.
"I have good news! He has officially asked me to be his girlfriend!" She jumped for joy, her previous bitter, pouting expression revealed to be a playful ruse meant to surprise everyone.
Yet, anyone could see this was merely a stopgap measure. Once their magical energy was exhausted, there would be only one outcome: to be devoured by the Soul-Burial Flower.
Qian Li looked even more bewildered; she stumbled back two steps, her entire body beginning to shiver from the sudden cold.

Every school emphasizes character and conduct. Those who act recklessly, believing they can do as they please, will surely face the consequences.
Servants passed by downstairs, curious and whispering, but before they could finish their sentences, a sharp, icy gaze—devoid of any warmth—swept over them.
What he said back then must have been "I love you," right? Even though he fainted at the end, the syllables were definitely "I love you," weren't they?
Seeing that she still had the spirit to tease him and that her eyes were much brighter, Fang Haoli felt slightly relieved. He gave the taxi driver the address for Li Mengyao’s home and, with great caution, took a photo of the taxi and a clear close-up of the license plate before letting her go.
He was truly furious. When he connected this to the plot points he had witnessed earlier and his current situation of being temporarily trapped in this plane, the anger surged, impossible to suppress.
He paused, thinking something was wrong. If it were a power outage, why were the lights on in the master bedroom, yet dark downstairs?
If he had known that losing her would be so painful, he would have loved her with all his might from the very first moment they met. Perhaps their story would have had a different ending, and perhaps sitting together watching television would have been just a part of daily life, rather than an unattainable luxury.
Not to mention that it was the incarnation of ten thousand ghosts; if not destroyed completely in one strike, it would likely revive. It was exactly this kind of tenacious entity that made cultivators wary of provoking them.
Furthermore, the most critical factor was that Peng A, the commander of the lower pass guarding the main route to Yangmieqie City, had secretly defected to Duan Siping. As long as the Tonghai army marched west, there would be almost no obstacles in their path, making the capture of Yangmieqie City effortless.
Shocked by the strange transformation of the ground, no one dared to continue their attack, staring blankly at the black hurricane swirling below.

"Hugh Glarre, from today on, you will work here." The apprentice responsible for guiding and introducing him was Ivo, the same one who had accompanied Lancelot to deliver flowers.
After receiving a glare from Cheng Kong, they took the forged identification and continued toward the spaceport. As for the specific data on Abaddon Planet, neither of them cared; they had no intention of settling there, only thinking it was closer to the Star of Rebirth that Cheng Kong had mentioned.
Ku was not having it. "You, Tang Jiao, want to control three burgeoning planets while I only manage one under construction? How is that possible? Tang Jiao, your appetite is too large."
The only thing I worry about is whether you will agree with this idea of mine. Of course, it’s easy to see that you will certainly oppose it.
Baili Nuyun kicked the true flag aside and said, "Don't speak!" He let out a hiss himself, likely having been hit quite hard by the flag.
"Don't worry, Harry, I know what to do." The young magic apprentice looked nervous. A ninth-level Blood Python was not easy to deal with, let alone two.
After returning to the hotel, I didn't mention the secrets the old man told me to Sister Qing; I only said the old man needed help with something. Sister Qing didn't ask further and went back to her own tasks.
"Yu Yanxiao, do you sleep especially soundly every time you finish bullying me?" Su Huan asked with a serious tone. After years of being exploited by Yu Yanxiao, this was the only conclusion she could reasonably draw.
