Kara smiled and gave Clarisse, who had just jumped down from the metal plate nearby, a knowing glance. Naturally, Ruimei had no idea about the situation at Commander He’s residence, but seeing everyone passing by his doorstep and whispering among themselves, she felt a bit puzzled. Just as Fujin was about to respond, the white Zhen cradled in her arms slowly woke up and pressed its paw firmly against Fujin’s arm, seemingly signaling her to keep quiet. Zhang Bi knew this creature was clever, and since he had inadvertently revealed Fujin’s identity to it, he doubted he could keep it a secret any longer. Zhao Qiqi and Lv Mao were both repelled by a surge of spiritual energy, collapsing to the ground and nearly bruising their backsides. Such a commotion naturally did not escape the ears of the men in black, who immediately turned back to investigate, only to see two shadows swiftly disappearing into the dark night outside. In his eyes was a bitterness that Shen Li could not comprehend, yet he was certain that one glance had sent an inexplicable tremor through him. The dark elves, having received aid from a mysterious force, nullified Heimdall’s abilities, but Odin still ordered them to keep a vigilant watch over Asgard’s first line of defense. Seeing that Jiayi was somewhat displeased, Lianyi mistakenly thought her doubts had upset Jiayi, so she bit the edge of her veil and remained silent, lowering her head while covertly observing Jiayi from the corner of her eye. Having inexplicably prepared himself and adjusted his state to peak condition, before dawn, although colorful birds patrolled the sky, he had already transformed into a shadow and approached the cliff below the colorful bird tribe’s settlement. “Mhm,” Li Jiji looked at Liu Xiaoshi’s warm and generous demeanor, marveling that she had indeed come to the right place. Zhuge Xiongfei had not expected to encounter Sun Lingming here, and when Sun Lingming learned from Zhuge Xiongfei that Yang Caiyue was still alive, he was overjoyed. They ordered more food and drink and began to drink heartily together. Then, Ye Chen loosened one side of the spatial cage, and three Soul-Devouring Bewildering Worms immediately crawled out and darted beneath the altar as if seeking some form of protection.

Gilgamesh’s signature move was his crowning technique, under which countless celestial lords had perished. This sword strike was meant to sever all that was divine. After more than a decade of development, whenever people mentioned “PetalPetal,” the first thing that came to mind was certainly “PetalPetal Movies,” which had become an influential film review website in the country. “Ayan, let him in,” Zhang Shan said firmly after taking a deep breath to calm his excitement, his gaze meeting Zhang Yan’s equally stirred eyes. Helplessly, Yang Qi returned to the living room, wearing only a pair of pants, quietly waiting for Tang Ying’er to finish washing up. At that moment, He Li, who had dismissed the guards outside the villa, came in carrying an envelope. “Zhengrong, why are you crying?” Hua Tiancheng asked, pulling a tissue from his pocket to wipe away her tears. Laughter rang out among the group, and Yun Ruoshi was quite pleased, her eyes fixed on Yang Qi, lost in thought. Wrapped in a blanket in the pitch black, Helian Yuan clearly felt those crystal-clear eyes watching him with sorrowful resentment. Defeating these two one after another already proved that Su Ze had finally secured his place among the younger generation in the Eastern Wilderness through his own strength. There was no choice; it was the middle of the day, just past ten, and the lunch spots hadn’t opened yet, while morning stalls had already closed—where else was there good food? By now, it was the second semester of sophomore year, yet she was still only ranked fifth-tier, feeling the wide gap between herself and the four top stars of junior year, which made her anxious. After a moment, the whirlpool dissipated, spiritual energy vanished, and a celestial gate firmly settled above the Dao Platform. Nearby, a few powerful beings secretly sent divine intentions to observe the situation, hoping to find some advantage. There was a grotesque giant insect, about seven or eight meters long, its body dripping with yellow slime, utterly repulsive.

Strangely enough, when the army was about to set out, Wei Ziyang felt not only the normal nervousness but also a calmness and warmth, as if he were not a rookie stepping onto the battlefield for the first time but a seasoned general, which was hard to fathom. Magical treasures, seals, and spells all relied on cultivation; without good cultivation, they were worthless. This time, Fang Yun not only pushed his void manipulation to the absolute limit, merging himself into the void, but also sensed the power of the spiritual dark matter there, connecting with the omnipresent dark spiritual matter. On the wooden stake, he formed a thin protective layer and then charged forward fiercely. Seeing Xing Chu’s calm tone, Xue Qing felt an inexplicable pang; she couldn’t yet understand what kind of emotion this was, but she followed her heart, doing whatever came to mind. Along the way, they encountered many peak eighth-rank monsters, but Xing Chu killed each one with ease. Li Mo watched Xing Chu slay these eighth-rank beasts as simply as eating or drinking, her eyes betraying a hint of something unusual. Sighing and shaking his head, it was no wonder—Mr. Gu often found excuses to let the young master be alone with Gu Nuoxi, the only son of the Gu family, claiming it was to foster their relationship. However, Gu Nuoxi simply disliked the young master and took every opportunity to bully him cruelly. “What’s going on?” Sima Zhengyi asked. Zhang Fei’s laughter was infectious, bringing a smile to his face as well. Care was roused from a daze by a mournful wail—it was a familiar voice. Looking at the unconscious Gu Bao on the ground, he thought for a moment, picked up a stone, activated the sword talisman program, and produced a sword light about an inch long on his fingertip. He then began carving on the stone. Before long, a fully formed portrait emerged. He stepped forward and lightly kicked Gu Bao’s head. Xia Feiya clearly saw the anger burning in Wei Rui’s eyes and felt a pang of regret. Even though she did not want Nan Xi near Wei Rui, she could not resort to such extreme measures.
