The old couple did not say a single word, yet somehow they gave Xia Qingya an extraordinary sense of security. Was this what it meant to remain devoted to one another through all the trials of life?
Just as Catherine had said, the EU was one of the few great powers to be treated as an equal by New Huaxia. The moment its special aircraft landed, it received an enthusiastic “welcome” from New Huaxia.
After returning to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the Emperor began coughing up blood without pause, and his complexion grew dreadful. Imperial Physician Gu hurried over to treat him, but even he wore a deeply troubled expression.
Biyao tossed the bundle filled with spiritual medicines onto the stone table in the courtyard, then casually picked up the jade cup of water that had already been prepared and drained it in one go.
After pouring water for the two of them, Mo Feifei sensibly took a seat on the single sofa rather than becoming an unwanted third wheel.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a living dragon,” Hariat said, his first words filled with amazement.
The Mist Immortal Gorge was surprisingly beautiful, almost like a celestial valley. It was nothing like the ugly place she had imagined.
“Your Majesty, this humble subject believes that Your Majesty could issue an imperial edict offering the Bright Cult amnesty and bringing it under imperial authority!” said Prince Ruyang.
“I don’t think Old Zhao is wrong. As long as we achieve the ultimate goal, any path will do. We can set honor aside for the time being,” one of the students said.
“The general said you wanted to meet me alone.” Xu Yichen did not continue mourning and instead asked the question simply and directly.
It was not only her. Daoist Baili and Xuanming were also stunned, scarcely daring to believe their own eyes.
“Then it’s settled. In one month, I’ll grind you beneath my feet, shatter your dignity, and turn Wolong Ridge into the place of your humiliation.” Luo Tian licked his lips and sneered.
Lin Feng’s pupils contracted sharply. He realized that he had still underestimated Duan Feng—both the cultivation technique he practiced and his talent for cultivation.
But Wu Jian gradually began to appear, and the moment those vines reached him, they seemed to lose all power to advance. It was as though they had struck empty space, meeting no resistance at all.

No matter how powerful Luo Tian’s background was, she would kill him for those words alone. With Icewind Valley’s strength, she believed it could withstand even the greatest calamity.
“It may contain more than treasures. It might even hold the inheritance of a Martial Saint! That is the largest Martial Saint tomb in the entire Martial Saint Wasteland, and that Martial Saint was undoubtedly the strongest of them all. No one knows what lies within his tomb!” Huang Taolue said wistfully.
Such an astonishingly gifted genius stirred deep jealousy in their hearts, and they could hardly wait to eliminate Huang Xuanling.
By the end, Jiang Yi’s killing intent was fully exposed. Mu Yunxi’s injury had driven him into a genuine rage against Zhang Heng.
In less than ten minutes, the imperial army had already lost nearly a fifth of its forces. The others came rushing in panic, no longer arrogant and overbearing as they had been at the beginning, when they had thought nothing of the Li Family Army.
The one hundred thousand Duan Family Iron Cavalry under Colin’s command were nominally excluded from the military strength of the Thornflower Duchy, but in truth they were still soldiers under Adam.
The group he had brought did not look like decent people either. Every one of them carried a torch, shoving the crowd around without restraint. The people seemed afraid of them and did not dare voice a single complaint even after being pushed about.
In the distance, Bajie quietly watched everything unfold. He let out a surprised little grunt, but after receiving a glare from Shaseng, he hurriedly raised his hand and covered his mouth with his filthy sleeve.
In less than four short years, Bai Le had gone from a boy who had yet to cultivate even a trace of spiritual energy to a powerful cultivator in the late Star Palace realm. His journey could only be described as a miracle.
At the very moment Dongnan Li pushed open the main gate, an arrow wrapped in dense spiritual energy shot out from within and flew straight toward the Second Elder’s face.
Zi Ling immediately understood. With a flash of her body, she flew into the courtyard, then pulled Feng Xingye along and led the clansmen in temporarily retreating into the clan council hall.
Lang Qi stared in astonishment at those marvelous glowing objects. These extraordinarily enormous creatures, radiating multicolored light, were swimming majestically through the water.
“Really? That’s wonderful!” Upon hearing this, Yukiko smiled happily. “In that case, I’ll trouble you.” The change was so great that even Asaba could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.
Tang Zhun had deliberately withheld the name of the world in which that fellow lived. His purpose was to let the man’s imagination run wild and preserve a little more reverence for the world.

The leader of the Sun God Cult was no weakling. He was at least in the postnatal Void-Stepping realm, and the pair of leopard-tail, tiger-headed maces in his hands were extraordinary. With sweeping slashes and crushing blows, he sent four or five fire crows surging forth from each mace, their shrill cries filling the air as they stirred up a blazing sea of fire in an instant.
“Fierce Tiger Attack!” The instant Ah Fu sat upright, he pounced directly at Jackie Chan.
In many Western countries, Lin Pengfei even had the extremely impressive title of the Justice God.
Qin Shuai slowly rose and walked over to Zhang Bining. He placed his hand on her smooth, tender cheek, instantly causing her entire body to stiffen. The several Zhang Family guards tensed as well, but under the pressure of Qin Shuai’s overwhelming aura, they did not dare move an inch.
The waterfall that had once existed only in the descriptions of ancient poems—plunging three thousand feet straight down—now stood before their eyes. The sight was truly magnificent.
Luo Yan’s body grew increasingly insubstantial, yet his aura continued to strengthen. This left Pei Aola with a faint sense of unease.
Although Xu Xuerong had known Lin Pengfei for only a single day, his image already filled her heart completely.
The others did not really have much in common with Ranyue either. She always wore the gaze of an elder, especially when it came to Yun Linger, making Yun Linger feel as though she had been seen through completely.
This monkey was one of the animals most closely resembling humans, and it was very intelligent. Keeping it at home as a servant would not be a bad idea.
“Why be so formal between us? Come on, let’s go to my place for a drink first.” Chu Yuansheng pulled Qin Shuai directly back to his residence.
This time, however, Qin Shuai’s opponent was a man from the Demon Emperor realm of the northern frontier of the Demon Qi Continent. He appeared to be in his thirties and carried a strange curved saber. Yet when the man saw Qin Shuai, a conflicted expression emerged on his face.
The reason for his conflict was simple: he had previously been traveling with Liu Shuntao and the others.
