Volume 1, Chapter 53: Li Chengqian Rebeled?

Your Majesty is truly wise!
Li Chengqian bowed in salute, though a cold sneer lurked deep within his heart.

Haha, Commander Gu, I shall gladly accept your Qianli. Saint Chiyan walked with utmost delight toward the pillar of light containing the wager, and then reached out to grab Qianli. However, the pillar of light did not dissipate, blocking Saint Chiyan outside.

By this time, the banquet had already begun. Servants promptly added three more tables of wine and food, inviting everyone to be seated. For a moment, goblets crossed and cups were exchanged, instantly turning the atmosphere jubilant and festive.

The cyan scimitar collided with the burning eagle claws, and a powerful aura erupted, sweeping across the battle stage.

Ye Tianxing seemed oblivious to the artifact-spirit senior's warning, staring blankly at the red light descending from the firmament as an inexplicable sorrow arose in his heart.

Volleys of arrows fell like raindrops near the stronghold's gate, continuous and without a moment's pause. Amidst the dense clattering sounds, the stronghold gate and the watchtowers upon it were bristling with arrows. Soldiers, moving in squads of four, advanced toward the gate under the cover of the arrow rain.

Shivering too coldly to sleep, the youth picked up a pebble from the ground and began to scrawl and sketch on the wall of the cell.

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he dispatched his upright confidant, Shen Pei, back to Jizhou to thoroughly investigate Xu You and the grain transport supervisor.

That day, the sky was once again filled with fluttering white snow. Yet Song Zhiming of the Martial Bureau suddenly received an invitation from Qin Jingde, the commandant of the Sanghai garrison, inviting him across the camp for a conversation.

You've finally woken up! Ling Tianyun said with pleasant surprise as he saw Ye Yinfeng open his eyes, a daze lingering within them. The heart that had been hanging in suspense finally settled; although he knew Ye Yinfeng's dantian was completely shattered and his cultivation entirely ruined, at least his life had been saved.

Li Jiayuan, standing nearby, chimed in: Jingye, could it be that you found someone else as well? Your righteous act of gallantry today, I shall engrave upon my heart.

Thus, the elderly Immortal Venerable remained within the Kunlun boundaries yet knew the current state of the Western Region's demon race—truly a remarkable capability.

The posture was terribly awkward, but seeing that he showed no impatience, Yun Ran's gaze softened considerably.

Clank, clank. A light tap sounded against the iron door of the rear carriage. Lin Fan and the others crouched in a row around the armored vehicle. At that moment, everyone's heart was in their throat. Aside from the patch of shadow barely granting them concealment, everywhere else—front, back, left, and right—was illuminated as bright as day, glaringly brilliant and dazzling to the eyes.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Commander Zhang arrived. He held immense prestige among the garrison troops in Chengdu Prefecture; with him stepping forward, the morale of the army was barely stabilized.

The phantom of the Xuantian Seal exploded, but it managed to block several of the lightning bolts, while the third tier of the Thunder Technique was activated in the nick of time, channeling the remaining dozen bolts into the earth.

Huang Xuanling let out a loud roar, and accompanied by ten avatar clones, charged straight toward those demons and demonic cultivators.

You all step outside for a moment; I have some matters to discuss here, Xia Huanhuan said as she removed the silk ribbon from her eyes and walked a short distance away. Having grown accustomed to the darkness, once she took it off, her path actually became clearer and clearer.

Ah, it was truly too difficult; he had even thought of giving up back then. Who would have thought that while that stinky Daoist priest appeared pure of mind and steadfast in his Daoist heart, in this particular aspect, he was simply extraordinary. He merely sparked a tiny flame, and the stinky Daoist priest fanned it into a roaring fire all on his own, burning brighter and brighter.

Meanwhile, Ye Han stood stooped at the very bottom of the giant crater like an aged man. He had finally absorbed all the earth element within the crater down to the last trace, and what remained now was the final suppression.

Only then did Xia Huanhuan notice that all four jade pendants were present not far away. Catching sight of them, she instantly made her move, hurling a dagger that flew straight forward. Xiying dodged to the side, only to watch Xia Huanhuan go and retrieve them.
