After thinking it over again and again, Wang Xuanlong finally decided to stop dwelling on it. He composed himself, then continued sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed to cultivate his true qi.

The Four Great Sinners slipped out the door, carrying some tubular object of unknown purpose in their hands, and stealthily made their way down the corridor to the right.

After hearing the Dragon Soul’s words, Wang Xuanlong scratched the back of his head and gave an embarrassed chuckle. “I won’t do it again, I won’t. Huh? This place is…” It was only then that he realized the surroundings looked strangely familiar, and he began looking around.

“My lord.” Qi Yu had heard him call and emerged from behind the curtain, gazing at him with shy apprehension.

“Although I dodged your attack, you still had a chance to evade that sword stroke of mine—or even counterattack. But you grew careless and overlooked the edge of the Xuanyuan Sword.” Wang Xuanlong stared at him and explained calmly.

“Lu Tong, you know I would never do such a thing!” Shi Yi looked at the unfamiliar Lu Tong before her. How had she become like this?

I could not use my spear. Yan Liang had fought me before and knew my techniques and attack patterns; using it would make it far too easy to expose my identity. Though I was confident in my own abilities, Pang De and the others over there might truly be unable to escape. Therefore, I planned to use archery to help them out of danger.

A ghost soldier silently dragged Dong Zhanyun away, separating him from the other spirits. “Big brother, may I ask where we are going?” Dong Zhanyun whispered.

“The Ten-Thousand-Ghost Sovereigns’ Asura Grounds in the Underworld.” The ghost soldier said no more, merely tossing out that one sentence.

“Friends, comrades.” Shuang Yanhao, who had been busy maintaining order at the assembly, finally spoke. “I shall now explain my position.” As chairman of the Restoration Alliance and supreme commander of the Whitewing Star’s three armies, the moment Shuang Yanhao opened his mouth, everyone fell utterly silent, all eyes turning toward him.

Everything atop Mount Song seemed just as it had yesterday; not the slightest thing had changed. The only difference was that the snow and ice had begun to melt, drops falling one after another. Yet the freezing wind continued to howl, fierce and merciless, without the slightest trace of pity or compassion.

“I can’t do it!” Old Wang answered decisively. “It’s only death! How could I abandon my comrades…” He suddenly broke off and stared blankly at Lu Bing.

“What does Brother Yu think…” Jiang Qi did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned the question back to Zhou Yu.

After evading him for a long while, Jace suddenly planted one foot against the wall and launched himself into the air. His body twisted as both legs hooked downward. The defensive amplification of his incantation seal erupted, force surging through him, and he brought down a devastating blow that struck the giant squarely on the head.

Just as those attacks were about to land on Lali and pierce through his body, the crisp sound of a parry rang beside his ears.

Ji Ziming was no ordinary man. How could he fail to understand the consequences? The weakening of the Ling family would also mean a decline in his own competitiveness for the throne. Preserving the Ling family was tantamount to preserving himself.

“Hey, I’m asking you—can you put me down already?” Liu Shuang’s mood improved considerably, and he cursed irritably.

Xi Yue appeared from who knew where and followed closely behind Liu Shuang. He knew without even looking that the girl was trailing him. Walking side by side with Qian Botong, he could only smile helplessly.

I turned around, faced the crowd, and charged toward them. Seeing me rush at him without warning, Bai Hei merely gave a faint, mocking smile. He shifted his feet into a Z-shaped step and cut straight toward me.

Even Ye Yun’s not-so-long hair had been blown into a hopeless mess. But he had no time to worry about his hair now. Just facing Kabadi’s triangular pyramid was already terrifying enough; Ye Yun knew that a real battle would most likely be an arduous struggle.

When Jiang Qi heard that the rebel army had launched an attack, he immediately smiled as he listened to the songs and dances. He knew that the long-awaited moment had finally arrived. After entrusting Dong Zhuo with the defense of the city, he returned to his residence. His earlier strategy of appearing weak to the enemy and luring them out had succeeded. Now, he merely awaited Zhao Yun’s decisive strike after cutting off the enemy’s supplies.

Still, thinking was one thing; there were matters that had to be dealt with. Surely they could not simply allow themselves to be captured by Morgana.

“Misaka, here. I’m giving you this.” He took a box from his pocket and handed it to Misaka Mikoto. Yue then went over to Shirai Kuroko’s side. Shirai Kuroko merely glanced at Yue, without the slightest trace of anger or any other emotion.

If a god-tier expert really came looking for trouble, he could use the pressure they brought to help himself break through his bottleneck.

After Ryze arrived at the summoning grounds and began channeling his magic, a white light started flashing.

Without hesitation, she pushed open the door and entered the hospital room. Every step she took carried a gust of wind, faintly revealing an indescribable air of authority.

The truth was that Lu Bu had fought against all the feudal lords at Hulao Pass, offending most of them. Moreover, Lu Bu was arrogant and unyielding, unwilling to submit to anyone. That was why all the feudal lords had joined forces to smear his reputation.

Fortunately, while leaving that patch of grass, Lin Yuan had gathered quite a lot of wild scallions. He therefore stir-fried another plate of them, and when eaten with snake meat, the flavor turned out to be surprisingly delicious.

Besides, Schmidt was a thoroughly unapologetic racist. Lin Yuan had never held any goodwill toward people like that.

Most people merely wanted to take a shortcut and establish a relationship with a Nobel Prize-winning physicist like him, hoping to bask in his fame.

Since they intended to use Earl George’s estate for an exclusive interview, they naturally had to inform the earl.

Sai Xishi could hardly believe her own eyes. Once again, she found Xu Wei impossible to understand.

I gave Liu Mingcheng a long, penetrating look. I knew that he had finally stopped playing evasive games with me. The real business was about to begin. It seemed my reaction just now had indeed produced the desired effect; Liu Mingcheng had lost the patience to keep dragging things out with me.

“No. I’m taking you to the hospital for an examination. If something happens to you, your sister will never be at peace for the rest of her life.” Qiao Yunxi gradually came to her senses as well. She took his hand and started toward the door.

Sun Zhigang personally went to receive Xu Wei at the airport. Once they got into the car, Sun Zhigang immediately took Xu Wei to the Hong Kong Dafa Agriculture Company’s office.

The three adjoining rooms downstairs had originally been a large curtain shop. Half of it had been partitioned off with glass and converted into a professional curtain-design studio, furnished with two computers.

The central square, meanwhile, was where the students gathered. It was little different from an outside marketplace, with every sort of food and ornament available. Shops stood in rows all around—restaurants, apothecaries, and all manner of other establishments. Naturally, they were all thatched huts as well.
