The most important point was this: it was a place of death, with only one exit. Any sound from beyond the valley and woods, or the appearance of anyone whose identity was unknown, would be brought under control at once and urgently reported to the palace.
“I have a mission for you. Are you willing to accept it?” Liao Xi looked at Yu Jin and spoke in a flat voice, as though she had no warmth in her at all.
She had already been in a foul mood, and Yang Bingming had spoken so irritatingly that letting him off with a single slap had been a kindness.
Of course, this posed no real threat to him. He dealt with everything in a few moves, and after forcing answers from them, they found the unconscious Duan Tianxiao inside an entirely unremarkable coffin.
Under the finest living conditions and the most intense training Liao Xi could provide, these thirty thousand Xiliang cavalrymen had become one of her greatest trump cards. Now, under the command of Wu Yun Zhao, whose martial strength was extraordinary, their power was even more astonishing.
At that moment, Gu Ling'er understood that healing Long Tianchen was her only hope of escaping the Long family and regaining her freedom.
Once upon a time, when he had lived in the slums, he had thought the same way. The powerful and wealthy were people one could not afford to provoke; all one could do was endure and yield.
Doctor Li hesitated somewhat. Yet, driven by a physician's curiosity, he still lifted his feet and slowly made his way toward the bed.
Suddenly, Ran Min clearly sensed movement among the men and horses behind him. He turned his head and saw countless troops surging in from every direction, crushing his army beneath their overwhelming force. Ran Min's expression changed, but as a man tempered by countless battles, he reacted at once.
Seeing her sorrow, Zhang Chu felt miserable as well. But he was not particularly familiar with the girl and had no idea how to comfort her.
Then came four deafening explosions in succession. The four Primordial Divine Weapons were all reduced to fragments.

Damn it. Would Lin Jiachun really come out? Could Li Yaojie and the masked man leave this place safely?
“You are truly beautiful.” Haotian gazed at her in the mirror as well, but even this compliment was delivered with a cool detachment.
The inner pillars of these grand halls were supported by multiple enormous red columns. Each pillar was carved with a coiling golden dragon so lifelike that it seemed ready to spring into motion. The sight was extraordinarily magnificent.
“Qin Guangxu, you have truly brought shame upon the Great Jin imperial clan. A loss is a loss. If you refuse to accept it, you can fight again. Why resort to a sneak attack from behind?”
Tang Haodong patted her hand. “All right, do not say anything more. Just stay here quietly. I will go back and take another look.” With a wave of his hand, Xiao Qinghu let out a low roar and drove the Magotan away like a streak of lightning.
“This is the law of heaven and earth. Ever since Pangu divided heaven and earth, the gods created all living beings of the Six Realms, and the emotions and desires of those beings gave rise to every form of existence, the various laws have never been subject to change. Evil spirits, for instance, do not appear easily, and placing a curse is even more difficult. There is always a cause and an effect.” Haotian spoke with solemnity.
Suddenly, the vortex of wind and energy burst apart. The force shot in every direction, forming dozens of sword auras.
“Mr. Su, do not misunderstand. I did not come this time to demand crystal stones from you. I only wanted to speak with our Xiangxiang.” The voice was unexpectedly Han Ping's.
Mo Wang's unyielding attitude left Great Xia speechless. Seeing that there had been no further deaths on the battlefield, they reluctantly accepted his explanation, and both sides sounded the retreat.
The lightning slowly spread, as if severing time and space, and drifted leisurely toward the twenty people.
“Lord Ying!” Cheng Feiyan thought of Ying Quan, whom she had met only moments earlier. He had said that there were probably very few men in this world capable of resisting the beauty of her youthful appearance.

When he turned his head, Killer Bee was still rapping excitedly on the stage, reveling in the enthusiasm of the villagers of Konoha.
While they were chatting, the ninja forces led by Madara encountered the enemy on a rocky plain. Nothing unexpected happened: the opposing side was the Senju clan, led by Hashirama.
The impact Ying Zheng made on them was actually not as great as Li Xuan's. After all, Li Xuan was a powerhouse of the Twelve Meridians, capable of directly confronting the Heavenly Realm.
After a long period of transit, a blue quantum-jump corridor rose from the void, and the returning Higra fleet appeared within the Higra star system.
General Angkwei was a mechanical life-form from Apocalypse. Mechanical life-forms were among the most unique existences in the galaxy. They were machines, but they were also living beings. Their development could not be separated from science, even though their very existence was itself unscientific.
“Who killed them? I do not think I encountered any powerful enemies.” Mo Wang tilted his head in confusion. He could not remember meeting any formidable opponents in last night's battle. As far as he knew, every enemy had been killed with a single stroke.
With an injury like this, even Kushina, strong as she was, could not help letting out a muffled groan. Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled from her forehead as her body tilted and she dropped directly to one knee.
Ye Tianyun nodded. He was also somewhat perplexed. They had brought him to the Xingyi School yet refused to mention its most closely guarded secrets, not even letting slip the slightest hint. Instead, they had first taken him around for a tour. It would be unfair to say they did not value him, but with Xiao Se accompanying him, neither could it be considered neglect.
When she reached the window, Huayu Ye was no longer visible on the street outside. She glanced at the box in her hand, returned to the bed, and sat down cross-legged. Slowly, she removed the wrapping paper and opened the box. Ouyang Yaxin could scarcely believe her eyes. Inside lay a dazzling necklace. Covering her mouth with both hands, she gave a silent cry of astonishment.
