Volume 1, Chapter 63: The Old Lady Frequently Invites Her to Meet
Silver Official nudged Shen Official and glanced sternly at Qiongzi. Frightened of Shen Official, Qiongzi shrank her neck and turned to look at the rouge, discussing with someone what kind of clothes to wear for the Dragon Boat Festival.
She was no longer in her right mind and was in a manic state, so his response would have a profound impact on her.
However, risks still existed. For instance, the High Heavens behind the human faction—heaven knows when they might dispatch powerful angels to the mortal realm. If one were unlucky, one might walk right into the firing line.
Bai Wuling felt a trace of emotional resonance, because this power standard had an eighty percent chance of being summarized by the future Alliance. Back then, he had desperately sought transcendence to no avail. It was precisely through this power system that he realized the formidable strength of other regions, learning that transcendent entities above the Champion rank were actually quite numerous.
"This is an exceptional place that forms a realm of its own. Fellow Daoist, let us enter quickly," True Person Zhengyang and Master Baojing said as they led their subordinates inside. After they entered, the stone gate did not close and remained half-open.
Chen Feng looked at the master and his two disciples with a hint of pity. How could they possibly imagine that once they fell into the vortex of the secret realm, escaping would be no easy matter.
"Miss, please take a look at this!" The artisan personally fetched a box of facial powder and presented it to Zhao Xihou, requesting her to pass it to Ruixue.
Not daring to trust Tielan, Chen Feng instead picked up a stone and threw it over, ready to retreat immediately should the puppet make any move. The stone landed beside the puppet, but the puppet remained motionless. Still uneasy, Chen Feng finally took out a blood-sacrifice puppet and had it slowly advance.
According to Yun Muxue's deduction, last night was the day Zhong Liyuan was to harvest blood, so he should have remained in the capital.
Early the next morning, as dawn was just breaking, Li Qiang, who was accustomed to rising early, kicked the wooden slats of the upper bunk. Seeing that Wang Feng was gone, he let out a startled cry whose roar awakened every soldier in the dormitory, and the team members hurriedly dressed and set out to search for Wang Feng.
The atmosphere within the Wind Arrows was exceptionally gloomy; even someone as powerful as Han Zi could not help gasping in cold air upon entering.
Her first kiss—hearing these words made Chen Xinghai's face burn with a stinging pain. She had kept it reserved for him, while he had already given his away long ago, and a crushing sense of guilt filled his heart with bitterness.
Unexpectedly, she had rather good luck. Just as she arrived at the entrance of Prince Yan's Manor, she saw Qi Xiao and Liang Ji walking out from within.
Sun Wukong imitated Xue Ling's posture, crossing his arms, stepping on Tulage's shoulders, and leaning against Tulage's neck, his eyes fixed intently on Heige while occasionally glancing at Xue Ling. Heige was slightly touched and nodded gently.
After a long while, Liren finally reconciled with Li Yuan, and their bond grew even stronger. Liren stretched and went downstairs to join Li Yuan at the steel plant, where every worker was hard at work clearing the residue from the furnaces and tidying up the steel ingots Liren had produced that day.
At the very same moment, the countless malevolent spirits that he had stored within his dragon ring and sealed with dragon qi suddenly burst forth from his ring in extreme terror. In an instant, beneath billowing black fog, countless malevolent spirits filled the surroundings.
"This subordinate wouldn't dare." The two guards had just started to rise, but upon hearing Liren's question, they no longer dared to stand up.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, clinging thickly to Long Zhong's hair. He suddenly felt his mood become exceptionally clear and serene today; the white world before his eyes truly felt liberating and comforting.
His mind was a chaotic mess, his head throbbing with a dull ache, yet deep down he plotted quietly like Zhuge Liang hiding behind a door.
Zhang Hao turned back and saw Monica drawing a magic-manifested longbow, with a pale green arrow nocked against the bowstring.
"Indeed. The time you have spent as a noble seems even shorter than mine," Lancelot sighed.
Seeing Old Li's destitute scholar-like appearance, Lei Jingtian found it both laughable and exasperating. Back in the day, that pair of legendary thieves had stolen countless treasures—perhaps spending thousands on a single meal—yet he never imagined they would be reduced to such a state just to raise a child.
Kong Xuan, the first peacock between heaven and earth, was also the most beautiful peacock in the world. He was not very familiar with the Investiture of the Gods, but it seemed the being was immensely powerful, having once swallowed a certain sage before being taken away by the sage and becoming the Peacock Dhyani King.
With this thought, she turned back to look at the ghost gate from earlier, her expression suddenly changing drastically. There was no ghost gate left at all; only a tall wall remained, and the wall sconce on one side had been destroyed.
When Zhou Shijiu had been gone from the manor for several days without any news, how could Old Madam Zhou not be suspicious? The more people tried to block her outside, the more determined she was to come in and take a look.
Without pausing in the slightest, the sword Qi pierced straight through Tianjizi's body and struck a towering mountain in the distant mountain range.
This time, the sacred light accurately pierced into the vampire's heart. The handsome youth then turned to dust, leaving only an ice-cold dagger exuding a chilling aura dropped upon the ground.
With this thought, Lingyi lowered her eyes. "Attend to me as I rest!" Tomorrow she had to go and welcome Master Yin Yuxiu.
Li You gave the two a deep look, as if warning them that any betrayal would result in a relentless pursuit to the ends of the earth.
An old saying goes that when one person attains the Way, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Moreover, these were Li You's best friends from university; now that he had the ability, he naturally had to lend a helping hand.
Yet the Nascent Soul figure had just opened its mouth and swallowed seven-tenths of the explosive force, turning a heaven-shaking explosion into a mere show, leaving them unable to employ other means now.
Chu Ze and his two companions had maintained their peak condition, and leaving this place now would not be difficult, but there was no need to deliberately avoid the adversary, thereby keeping their strength relatively balanced.
The left, right, and front sides were draped with white cloth hanging from above, forming a concave shape within the grand hall. Li Tai was extremely curious about what lay hidden behind the white cloth.
Faced with the strange rabbit's attack, Nangong Jin remained calm and composed. With a flick of her magical sword, a flash of golden light like electricity precisely struck the strange rabbit's eyeball. As the sword Qi erupted violently, the strange rabbit's eyeball burst open, and the sharp sword Qi pierced into its brain, instantly silencing it.
Hearing Ximen Jian's words, Luo Cheng could no longer contain himself. His expression turned grim to the extreme as he pointed at him and shouted.
"The various tribes of the Dangxiang have sent their princesses, wishing to forge a marriage alliance with our Great Tang. In your opinion, who among the imperial princes should be chosen for this marriage alliance?" Li Shimin asked.
Seeing Li Tai's thwarted expression, a look of involuntary triumph appeared on Li Shimin's face.
