Neither Otsutsuki Haori nor Otsutsuki Hamura could help but be stunned by the scene before them; even their thoughts came to a halt. Lu Zhengyao made another call to his police friend, relaying the recent situation. His friend promised to come by the next evening to take a look. Xiao Shan and Xie Tian nodded, then followed the Japanese soldiers into the living room. There, they saw Kageo Akizuki clad in a kimono, lazily drinking tea inside the room. Noticing Xiao Shan and Xie Tian entering, he furrowed his brows and looked toward Xiao Shan.

Guo Dongzi in the car caught sight of him and gave a cold smile. He waved his hand, and the bodyguards in the car immediately got out. Others in the following vehicles saw them disembark and likewise stepped out.

Setting aside the others, the chaotic demonic body alone equated to the strength of a Golden Immortal. So it was hardly surprising that Ye Chu had carved out a half-dimensional space even before ascending to immortality.

Ge Yueying threw the torch she held down the cliff, and instantly, a sea of flames rose. It was only then that Zhang Shao and Ye Qiang saw the true nature of the place. This was not a mere cliff—it was truly a mountain of blades and a sea of fire.

She had already changed into a swimsuit, now wearing a cool, short outfit. Her fair arms and long legs were so captivating that Cao Yue couldn't help but steal a few extra glances.

Moreover, he had learned that Ma Chao was now hiding in the Qishan camp, not daring to come out and accept Cao Xiu's challenge.

The Divine Birds ignored the uproar on the ground. Their formation shifted from a “human” shape to a straight line and continued flying eastward.

Many believed the United States was wonderful, but was that truly the case? How could those who left their homeland know how much the expatriates overseas longed to return? Only across the ocean was their real home, the only place where they could find warmth.

The army's march did not cease. Vietnam had never imagined that the Chinese army would truly break in, and as a result, more than half its territory was quickly lost. Only then did Vietnam finally react, but it was too late. The flames of war were already at Hanoi’s outskirts, and it would take just one day to break through.

It had been a long time since he felt the desire to make others submit to him. That Shoko could finally regain her spirit was a comfort to Sister Qing, although this had come about by accident.

Despite his advanced age, Rong Shaoqing was still experiencing a love that others had already gone through in high school.

Xu Lin’s father sat dejectedly at the edge of the bed. He knew what to do but did not even have the courage to say a word or look at Xu Lin and her mother.

He clearly heard what Long Sichen said upon appearing—Long Sichen asked if she had lost her life.

Inside the thousand-poison grave pit, foul energy surged, making it perilous for the living. The ground was swampy, making every step arduous.

Ning Qian's heart skipped a beat. Since Xu Lin’s return, they hadn’t had many moments alone. Why was Shen Chengren in such a good mood today? Or rather, why was he so free?

As a famed courtesan who had bewitched even emperors, Li Shishi’s charm needed no elaboration. Now, she gazed tenderly at Hu Ye, her affectionate eyes almost melting his heart.

The moment she finished speaking, several guards suddenly charged out. The young man had no time to react before he fell unwillingly beneath the sword of Lin Zhan’s guard.

As long as he could get into the hut, he believed that with the contingency plans he had set inside, even if he couldn’t capture Cui Shiniang and the other three all at once, he would at least have some means of self-protection. Perhaps he and Wang Jiashi could escape alive, disappearing like a dragon into the sea or a tiger back into the deep mountains.

Suddenly, a blood-red demonic head sprang from the sickle. The demon’s face was terrifying, with blue skin and fangs, fiercely biting toward Tian Yan’s long sword.

“I say, would you believe that this time, a student who usually didn’t perform well, even once a poor student, suddenly broke into the top three of the grade? Do you all believe it?” Liu Ling said mysteriously.

Looking at what used to be a glorious place, now ravaged by years of continuous disasters and the constant threat of war, alongside the rise of the South Sea Pearls and competition from neighboring countries, this village had almost lost all trace of its former glory.

Unfortunately, Empress Dowager Lingsi learned wisdom from her past mistakes. After experiencing the usurpation by the traitor Dong, she became increasingly secretive. The spies buried within the palace could no longer provide accurate intelligence to the two of them.

This fruit was created by the divine master founder “Floating Prosperity,” who forged the Jilen Divine Master using blood Bodhi and Rousheng shells! The mature tree could tether oxen; its leaves could protect a household; the trunk could prevent disasters; the blooming flowers could generate eternal fire and easily grow underground, in caves, or grottos.

Ling Feng stepped lightly, taking the opportunity to dodge aside. He nodded earnestly and spoke solemnly.

In the main hall, neither the furnishings nor the decorations displeased Chuyue. She even felt that aside from the courtyard, the other rooms required no major renovations. With a good cleaning and some new additions, the place was ready for habitation.

Just now, Cang Qian sensed a strong yet familiar spiritual current. He looked around but found nothing unusual, as the crowd was too large to notice anything.

After Qin Feng finished speaking, Lin Tian’s gaze swept over the fewer than one hundred people dining nearby. Lin Tian shook his head. Money was not an issue; he could muster any amount. But five hundred people—where was he supposed to find five hundred people?

Xu Shu’s life was fraught with misfortune and a rough path. Though he never achieved earth-shattering feats, his loyalty, honesty, filial piety, and recommendation of talented individuals would be remembered for generations.

Simply put, the continental legal system leans toward an inquisitorial approach, where judges play an active role in litigation. The Anglo-American system favors an adversarial approach, with prosecution and defense facing off, and judges acting as passive, neutral arbiters. Thus, the jury plays a significant role.

Still pure in heart, Zhao Yu couldn’t understand why her usually gentle and caring brother, Tianjie, would hurt Qiao Yan and Qiao Ying so deeply.

Because the people Ye Yang selected mostly possessed sovereign-level cultivation, with fewer than one-tenth being clan leaders.
