Volume One, Chapter 51: The Shameless Family—Snatching the Child's Supplements!

Noticing the group entering the villa, everyone except Yang Jue changed their expressions, exchanging furtive glances with one another. Lin Yi put away his bow and arrows and lunged at Lin Wei. He truly loathed the old man, who had schemed against him time and again—Lin Yi had nearly died at his hands on the battlefield.

"I can't say for sure. It could be a few years, or it might take more than a decade," Gu Canglan replied, uncertain when the spatial point would appear, but he knew the day the realm wall would be breached was drawing near.

Decades ago, there had been some sizable orthodox sects in the south, but disasters struck repeatedly, leaving many dead or wounded. Now, the entire sect numbered barely sixty, most of whom were still young disciples requiring the guidance of elders to travel the martial world.

"The power imprint of Ancestor Bo Xuan hasn't faded, which means he isn't dead yet!" Millions of Demon Clan people prayed fervently.

However, Qin Feng and Cheng Yaojin were cunning by nature. Seeing an opportunity, they cooperated silently, like foxes, setting a trap for the Turks.

Among her siblings, Xiong Ying's light-footed skills were the strongest. Before long, she reached the outskirts of Xiong Yi's camp. Only after exchanging the secret code could she enter.

Last time, it had taken an entire day to refine ten Bone-Forging Pills, costing a whole day of cultivation with nothing to show for it.

Sun Yao had not prepared as much as Tang Ming imagined. He had merely set traps and formations at the entrance to the mountain hollow.

He wore a towering crown, a jade belt at his waist, a saffron robe embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and cloud-topped shoes decorated with worry-free patterns. In every way, he was indistinguishable from the King of Black Chicken Country—so much so that even spirits would be confused.

The assassin was no slouch either. His knees bent, and in the split second when his feet were about to leave the ground but hadn't, he summoned his strength, nailing his soles to the earth. Then, he stretched out a hand to brace himself below.

Now, with daylight lingering longer than in winter, there was no need to light lamps early. The sun had already set, its afterglow igniting half the sky. The gentle, golden light was tinged with a passionate warmth.

Still unable to grasp the relationship between Gong Tao and the Gong family, he let slip matters he hadn't intended to speak of, leaving others incensed.

She felt no inclination to join in the burgeoning enthusiasm for foreign lifestyles that was taking root in universities now.

Er Wa seemed entirely oblivious to Zhao Shenping's gloom, peering about excitedly as they traveled, until they arrived at a devastated village littered with bones.

The slaughter from the previous night flashed in her mind—the ruthless masked men still haunted her thoughts. She feared their return, unwilling to die before her vengeance was fulfilled.

Without thinking, she raised her hand and slapped Jia Jiayu, who was too slow to dodge and took the blow squarely.

Were there any who simply lay obediently on the ground, covering their heads with their hands, fully shielding themselves?

He had once moved with astonishing speed, far beyond his usual abilities, perhaps triggered by some unknown cause. That was how he had darted between Cao Yusen and others, carrying Ren Feng, leaving only a graceful shadow behind.

People were so excited they didn't know what to shout, but cheers and applause never ceased. For the first time, peaceful Bei Ya was alive with noise.

Kong Yu tried again to tap into her medium abilities, sensing the inner world through the fissure. Sure enough, she detected a familiar aura from within.

To orchestrate such a massive scheme, how vast must the resources be? The thought struck Fan Zhao, and for an instant she felt an invisible pressure envelop her tightly.

It had to be said, compared to herself, Zhao Yao and Liu Fang were far more eloquent, recounting the events with gripping intensity, making everyone feel the hours had flown by. They had barely gotten to the part where the Self-Defense Force appeared, and already they'd reached their destination.

In the next moment, their cultivation began to recover visibly, not immediately to their former peak, but enough to defend themselves.

As everyone across Huaxia was busy, none realized that a new conspiracy was brewing far across the ocean.

21. Zhang Chaoyi gave birth to twin boys; the younger was adopted by Xu Cheng. Xu Cheng married Madam Feng. Fan Zhao accompanied Mei'er to Nanhai, Guangdong to meet her relatives. In May of the seventeenth year of Qianlong's reign, Liu Yong was appointed Jiangyin County's education officer in Jiangsu, given secret orders by the emperor to send Fan Zhao alone to Xianju Mountain in search of Yongzheng's head.

Ye Wusheng glanced at him and walked on in silence, but Ye Bulang covered his mouth, stifling his laughter until his stomach hurt. When had his father ever been so humiliated? Even a chicken feather was nothing—he couldn't help but find it amusing.

The soul of the master archer—a skill every battle elf expert cultivated—but none could match Tu Shen Youyou, who could see across entire star systems.

"I'll return tomorrow!" Wang Ming said, holding Shi Yuhuan in his arms, reluctant to leave after the event.

When Li Zhi saw the scar-faced man in black by the teleport gate, he frowned. After hesitating briefly, he resolutely walked toward the gate.

Those self-styled artists began to pursue all manner of attention-grabbing stunts, with some initial success.

As Zhang Fei climbed halfway up, three arrows streaked toward his head. Zhang Fei reacted quickly, sweeping his serpent spear forward, knocking all three aside.

After the aides scrambled to help him to his feet, two minutes quietly slipped by, and even then, the fifth fleet of the chaotic Kingdom of Raymond had yet to enter battle.

The "planetary consciousness" is formed by the three basic external layers of a planet: the hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere.

That said, Kang Chu Yu—such a demon—wasn't about to concern himself with others. Fearing interference, his moves became even more vicious.
