Volume One, Chapter 23: Identity Revealed

Yet, it was precisely because of this that he understood the person before him, seemingly indifferent as they appeared, would not be lingering here if they truly did not care about the affairs in the North. Wei Jing was simply blinded by his own anxiety and failed to see this.

Finally, the morning court session adjourned. Zhu Xing dared not press for answers in front of everyone, so he had no choice but to return to his estate first.

Although Chen Xuan could hold his own against an expert of the Profound Yin Realm thanks to the Nine Profound Spear Technique and the many laws he had comprehended, the gap between him and a seventh-star Profound Yin cultivator was simply too vast. Ling'er understood this, which was why she did not leave.

Mu Sanqian laughed heartily, as if he hadn't heard the first half of the sentence at all, catching only the part where Old Man Ning suggested he might achieve greatness and freedom in the future.

As for the other dispatch, it was Xie Ancheng, who, upon receiving the news, had acted with urgency to prioritize military deployment, sending out three thousand troops. After all, once Pingsha Pass fell, the situation could not be resolved simply by retreating thirty miles.

The sharp edge of the green steel sword slammed into the stone wall, but after piercing the surface, it could not advance a fraction further! Even with Mu Sanqian’s full-force strike, the blade sank only a few inches. The green steel slid down the hard rock face, emitting a sharp, grating screech accompanied by a spray of sparks.

It was truly miraculous—the priceless Black Tortoise Gem had fallen into his hands so easily.

Seeing Xu Jiangnan close his eyes, Fang Yun felt a surge of confusion. He wiped the smile from his face, wondering what the man was plotting. Just as he was pondering, Xu Jiangnan opened his eyes, his aura surged, and his peach-wood sword, as if gorged on fresh blood, lunged toward Fang Yun with unstoppable force.

Although Su Xuan was merely a construct of energy, she was, after all, a Heaven-Swallowing White Python. If she were with him, wouldn't hunting be much easier?

However, true Star Lord-level experts could draw astral power directly from the stars; the disparity between them and others was incomparable. Furthermore, Lin Yun and the others had to refine the Star Essence Pills into true essence, unable to tap into the raw power of the stars themselves.

Duke of England Zhang Fu rode his horse, watching the vast armies moving along the Yangtze River, his heart swelling with excitement. He thought to himself: before this year ends, the rebellion in Huguang will be quelled.

Just then, a call came through from the headquarters of the Third Brigade. Upon answering, Jenson was overjoyed and shouted, "All positions have been taken!" Fang Jianxiong, who was still intently peering through his binoculars, stiffened, a tide of triumphant joy washing over him.

The problem was that this opponent was somewhat monstrous. The Spad had a horsepower of 150, while the Eagle-III model peaked at 745. The two aircraft were simply not on the same level, so the tragedy was fated from the start.

Even after some haggling, it should be possible to... Ishii was prepared to bargain, only to hear Gu Weijun speak with blunt directness.

Many audience members, before entering the theater, at least glance at the title of the film to feel some attraction or curiosity before deciding to buy a ticket. If even the title of the movie is incomprehensible, a box office failure becomes inevitable.

With five Sovereigns gathered, they were overseen by Hu Yufeng, one of the three great pillars of the Hu clan. The others, Hu Jingyi and Hu Mingcong, were only a step behind him in strength.

The gunfire on the battlefield had not ceased, and the fighting continued; yet, for a moment, because so many eyes were cast in his direction, Zhang Ning felt the heavens and earth go silent, as if time itself had frozen.

Before them stood several buildings, and behind those buildings lay an open field, with a forest at the very end. Once they crossed this open space and entered the forest, they would be relatively safe.

During the jump ball, as always, Zhang Kong easily tapped the ball away first, his five fingers tensing to propel the basketball toward his team's half of the court.

For the cadres and staff of Xihezi Township, the most discussed topic in private these past few days was that Township Head Zhao Liansheng had gone away for medical treatment, and the person temporarily presiding over government affairs was no longer Zhang Minqiang, but Qiu Jiacheng.

A thick, pungent stench of blood and rotting human flesh permeated the air. Ling Tian and Liu Jingli twisted their faces in disgust almost simultaneously, nearly retching.

Many who had already heard of Xu Sanhua's exploits at the Cao residence in Ziyi Lane the day before were now left speechless.

The leader of the dwarf demons had become a rigid "charred corpse," yet its mangled remains still exuded the terrifying aura of a peak Grade-B exotic beast.

She wore a look of triumph; her acting for this scene deserved a nine out of ten. She slowly lifted her head, only to see the carriage roar past her.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng narrowed his eyes further, took a deep breath, and once again raised his gaze with a grave expression.

However, having already broken through to the fifth level of combat power, Qin Feng would no longer be the one forced to flee with his tail between his legs as he had in his previous life.

Chi Xue glanced at the downcast Zuo Yue, then at Chu Jingchi. The man was radiating visible killing intent, so she had no choice but to concede for the moment.

"You haven't rested well these past few days, and Leorio must be worried sick. You should go find him and let him know you're safe," Lu Man said calmly.

Without delay, Tian Jiayou and Tian Yuqiu each took a ledger and a money bag, and began to report the accounts for the month.

The car stopped in front of the garrison office, where rows of sharp, yellow-and-black metal barricades stood like rows of gleaming spears.

Hidden within the walls, Bai Jiushu kept her eyes fixed on Bai Jiayi's computer, her mind filled with her own schemes.

Once the Western Regions fell, the demon race would launch a full-scale invasion. At that point, the Demon Realm would inevitably be torn apart.

Yan Yutian looked behind Ye Duanhun, where Li Mu, clad in black robes, gripped the other end of the spirit spear. His face still bore traces of anger, yet his eyes were filled with coldness, showing no pity for the scene before him.

Sun Yingchen finally realized what it meant to be afraid. She hadn't realized he loved her so deeply; she could not bring herself to force them apart. It wasn't that she hadn't considered using force, but she knew that if she did, she would lose him forever.
