Han Yun felt as though he had passed through countless spaces. Then, as a solid sensation came over him, his body finally touched down.

The enemy’s second line of defense was halfway up the mountain and consisted of three trenches. Tanks were extremely ineffective when attacking uphill, so Lu Xuehua had no choice but to slow down and advance gradually, using covering fire while the engineers filled in the trenches.

Han Shui’er’s long eyelashes rested against her lids, hiding the clear, rippling light in her eyes.

“You’re shameless!” Han Shui’er growled softly, warily shifting toward the car door in the hope of keeping some distance between herself and Jing Moxuan.

At the same time, Gu Yu moved through the city gates, releasing blessings and punishments before departing without a sound. Because the form of the skill was immediately reversed, and at the east gate, just as Gu Yu had imagined, how could there possibly be any mistakes where Moyan was present?

Before going to report to Wang Peng, he had originally asked Shao Lingyun to come with him. But Shao Lingyun had repeatedly made excuses and refused, always saying that it was not the right time. He had been furious at the time.

The most frustrating part was that, before using this skill, the Dark City Lord would unleash every other skill first. Those who could endure it would witness despair; those who could not would experience death.

Unfortunately, enemies were still enemies, and there was no room for sympathy. When the frenzied flames cast aside the sleeping giant tree, and when the flames launched a desperate counterattack against them, they too would show no mercy.

In fact, the Japanese had not expected the Chinese army opposite them to attack with such ferocity, wave after wave, throwing themselves into battle one after another. Had they not relied on their pre-calculated artillery coordinates and used rapid-fire field guns to halt the Chinese advance, the Japanese positions would have been torn apart long ago.

“Hm?” Jiuhuang suddenly opened her sleeve and stared at her empty wrist. A panic she had never shown before flashed across her face—a panic that had not appeared in many years.

“Zhongtong, what happened at the forward camp gate just now? How did a spy manage to pass through here?” AZ still wanted to understand the details.

Zhou Jianping finally had some free time. Every few days, he would go running to Chang Yuling’s house. The day after he finished tidying his own home, he went to her house again.

Hui Feng Wu He thought it over for a long while, but in the end he still bought a guide from Chen He. As for whether he had given it to Jing Hua Shui Yue, Chen He did not bother investigating.

On Canlan’s side, Chen He brought along several… novices, who were defeated by Ling Feng without the slightest suspense.

“AZ, why insist on defending this place? The future belongs to our Salvation Society! Isn’t rescuing you the very reason we came here?” The black-robed man at the head of the group was quite different from the others. Though his robe was called black, it leaned more toward deep red, making him look exactly like a cardinal.

“Didn’t she get a house? She’s moving in and asked me to help with the move.” Lin Yiqian spoke as she walked toward the bed.

In truth, aside from controlling his diet for the sake of his appearance onstage, the fact that Lin Tianwan and the others had come today may also have played a part. He simply had no appetite.

“Hey!” No matter how Lu Bu shouted, A’erfu and A’luping did not answer him, as though they had vanished from existence.

Even the leaders and senior officials of neighboring cities such as Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang were no different.

“Stop crying and making such a scene. What exactly happened?” When Ling Xiaotian and Zhao Jingyi entered the room, they too were startled by what they saw inside—especially when they caught sight of Shen Birou and Ling Yufei, both disheveled and red-cheeked.

Yiyun Shi strode forward without pause, wishing he could fly straight to Xiahou Huan’s side. After this bout of anxiety, he knew how much he missed him, how badly he wanted to see him, and how desperately he wanted to hold him tight in his arms, squeezing harder and harder until his scent and warmth gradually seeped into him.

That boundless loneliness ought to torment her thoroughly. If only she had known, why had she done it in the first place?

Next, we’ll discuss the details of going inside. This time, we won’t split up. We’ll stay together so we can look after one another. Don’t bring lanterns; take more torches and candles instead.

Losing face so thoroughly in front of Xiao Lingxiao left Li Jingxuan flushed with embarrassment, almost unable to bear it. What was more, he had just tried to comfort her and show his goodwill, yet Xiao Lingxiao had shown no inclination to grow closer to him. That made Li Jingxuan feel even more dejected—and even somewhat irritated.

“All right.” Xiahou Huan answered through clenched teeth. Although he had been the one to make them stay together, could he not regret it now?

It was over. She also followed Shen Shisan’s example and channeled the spiritual energy within her body into the blade. Unfortunately, Li Xue’s cultivation was limited, and she could only make the knife emit a faint glow.

Before Xiao Lingxiao could finish speaking, Xiao Fengming suddenly stepped forward, drew her into his arms, and held her tightly.

The Taoist host was greatly alarmed. He hurried two steps forward and looked down. Who else could it be but Xuan Qing? “What happened to him…?” Seeing Xuan Qing’s face covered in blood, the host could not bear it and looked up to ask.

Luo Cheng’s family owned a residence in the capital. He had someone deliver a message to Ming Fei, asking him to come to the Luo residence for a meeting. After all, it was better to personally return Meijiao to her brother.

Liang Yuchenxi frowned and asked, “How did you get involved with my mother again? I never realized you were such a sly girl. Your talent for currying favor with the powerful is truly unmatched.” His words were plainly sarcastic and teasing.

Under Lin Ke’s instructions, Ketian had no choice but to swallow her pride and curry favor with Huidong. Huidong had been fond of Ketian for a long time, so her taking the initiative to help him this time filled him with delighted surprise.

“Go to Saien Harbor first, then to the headquarters of the Dulin Church. Finally, if you wish, you can return to Pita City,” Zachary replied.

Since Heng Yanlin had acted this way, did that mean he had been lying all along—and that the purpose of his lies was to conceal the truth?

It was a rather underhanded spell. It belonged to the category of forced restraints, and even if the target’s level was higher than the caster’s, they would still inevitably suffer one spell of bodily paralysis.

“I took down two,” Charles replied, sounding somewhat helpless about tonight’s failed hunt.

Han Jinyu sat beside him, propping up half her face with one hand. She watched him eat without blinking, as though she could never get enough of the sight.
