Chapter 70: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell-With a Dimensional Chat Group in Hand, the Doomed Side Character Soars to Immortality(Ephemeral clouds and fleeting winds, like the tinkling of wind chimes in passing moments.)

Hua Xuanci, hearing Yun Xi’s words, knew that this little junior sister had made up her mind. Without wasting words, she took her identity jade token and helped her register for the sect mission; since she was on duty at the mission hall, she could lend a hand, something others might not easily manage.

“All right, I’ve registered the mission for you. However, this is a team assignment—others are also searching for our missing fellow disciple. You’d best find someone you trust as a partner,” Hua Xuanci kindly reminded her.

“What scheme have you come up with now?” Jiang Beiming noticed that Xu Lang was completely calm and knew he must have worked out another plan.

As the third son of the Eastern Azure Emperor, Xuan Yuan Qingyun often visited his father’s estate, making him familiar with these guards.

Fortunately, this sword light was far less fierce than the previous one; the attacker’s cultivation must be similar to his own.

“She’s taking her clothes off!” In his anxious state, Xun Yi finally blurted out the thing that had been bothering him.

Inside the tent, Han Wantao and Xu Lang each grabbed a towel to wipe their faces and clear their minds.

Yesterday in the Marvel universe, Lin Tao had thought this day was far off, but now he must relaunch the Hellfire Club.

“But LK and Bee’s forces were warned by the Cloud Ninja Village—they said this was their own affair and told us not to interfere! Otherwise, they’ll wipe us out together!” Tian Fuyang said.

At this moment, however, Xiao Yu was not in the core Tian Mountain of Yanran Mansion, but was traveling overnight toward the Anbei Protectorate to pay respects to the new Grand Protector, Jiang Lue.

“Officer Zhou, it’s been a year since all that!” Song Zhengren obviously hadn’t expected the star detective to visit his restaurant, and for the first order of business to be investigating the false testimony he’d given. This stunned the Korean uncle, now in his forties, leaving him crestfallen.

“I’m fine, Konohamaru...” Naruto tried to get up, but his left hand was dislocated and powerless, while his right was injured, leaving him prone on the ground.

Dongfang Han had left his secluded cultivation years ago. Passing through a vast, dense forest stretching for billions of miles, he happened to overhear the conversation of the three.

Before entering the palace, it was only natural to learn the emperor’s preferences and those of his attendants. She’d even cautioned Lu Jingran a few times, but Lu Jingran had skillfully evaded her advice.

At this moment, Consort Li truly had no hope left, for only a quarter hour earlier, the emperor had ordered her to return the Phoenix Seal to Empress Zhang.

“Oh...?” Captain Hawkins immediately strode to the maritime officer’s side and gazed toward the Portuguese ship on the left.

Facing a four-way assault from the bandits, Ma Quan let out an angry roar. The county bailiffs, led by the head constable, braved the rain of arrows in the night, running south of the village. Some, unfortunate, fell in the darkness; when they were dragged to the base of the wall, they were already lifeless.

Yet Jiang Ji had the governor’s orders and would not withdraw for this. Seeing Yin Po’s impassive expression, Jiang Ji frowned and thought for a moment, then spurred his horse past Yin Po toward the rear of the formation. Yin Po, seeing this, naturally ordered a block, but Jiang Ji’s men had already shielded him. The sides were on the verge of conflict when Lin Xiu rode up from afar.

There were nine elders in total. Aside from the Grand Elder, the rest were ranked by status. Elders two, four, six, and eight belonged to the Medical Hall; three, five, seven, and nine to the Alchemy Hall. The speaker was the Second Elder. Earlier, the Fifth Elder had agreed to Shen Meng’s marriage, while the Fourth Elder opposed it.

A sudden flurry of military drums and horns sounded. The Shu army’s formation was as solid as bedrock, settling instantly. Zhang He’s final charge was as if it struck stone—his hundred cavalry brothers were skewered on their mounts by the Shu pikemen. Seeing this, sweat broke out on Zhang He’s brow, and his back went cold as ice.

The deeper one’s faith, the higher one could ascend within the dream realm—becoming a lord, emperor, or even immortal. All the while, the townsfolk’s worship of the Yao Yi deity grew ever stronger, subtly and imperceptibly.

He paused before the Celestial Elixir Cauldron, lowering his gaze to the four pills lying quietly within its depths.
