What is your purpose in doing this?
He had no intention of pushing him into a corner; by leaving him a way out and sending him to another city, the matter would be put to rest. Pushing too hard and leaving someone with no way out would only drive them to reckless desperation.
He hadn't expected that after a few months apart, this fellow had grown much more sophisticated in his dealings. It was probably because during their first meeting, he had used borrowed authority to intimidate him, making the man much more guarded against him.
It wouldn't be until the Tang and Song dynasties that the name of the Yellow River would be officially finalized, but Cang Yaozu cared nothing for such details and began calling it the Yellow River right away.
As for Liu Taicheng, he desperately wanted to wash up first. Having scrambled through caves and climbed mountains, he was thoroughly covered in dust and grime and found it quite unbearable.
The Qi soldiers were driven by a surge of fighting spirit; for the sake of survival and that sliver of hope, they charged forward wave after wave.
The Crown Prince, letting out a satisfied burp, rubbed his belly, while back in the hall, the tea sitting before him remained completely untouched.
"Alright, then I'll look forward to it," Lin Yuting agreed readily without asking what Xue Ruanruan's gift was. She didn't care what it was; what mattered most was the heartfelt sentiment of her good friend.
During PE class—come to think of it, originally a senior high school class in such a tense second semester shouldn't have had PE at all, but the school leaders worried that the students were studying too hard and their bodies wouldn't hold up, so they gritted their teeth and added a weekly PE class.
However, power players in Yizhou such as Zhao Wei and Wang Shang did not wish to see Yizhou welcome another decisive and ruthless master wielding great power after Liu Yan, so they fiercely opposed Liu Mao's succession, favoring the honest Liu Zhang instead.
Jiang Yan was slightly startled. Feeling the trembling excitement of the person in his embrace, he likewise reached out to hold her in return.
Standing in the center of the grand hall, Wei Yongyi looked upon this scene with tears in his eyes, his fists clenched tightly. He watched yet another batch of northern youths lose their lives due to the instigation of treacherous officials. That boiling hot blood seemed to testify that they had no intention of offense and pledged their lives as soldiers of the northern realm, paying for this transgression with their very lives.
Seeing that Lu Shanmin merely glared fiercely at him, Nalan Zijian said solemnly, "Brother-in-law, you lack no courage, but pulling chestnuts from the fire is, to a certain extent, an act of sheer foolishness."
After explaining what had happened outside, Su Mu also nodded. Indeed, the members of the God-Sealing Alliance were no simple figures; if Ah Xian hadn't underestimated his enemy, the situation might not have turned out like this.
As a mid-level Soul King expert, he could distinctly sense the spiritual threat the grand array posed to him. He could not help but take two steps back, his spiritual consciousness stirring as a massive surge of soul energy gushed forth from his sea of consciousness, wrapping around him. He stood there, lost in a trance.
For a moment, only two gloomy-looking old men remained by the youth's side. Needless to say, these two must have been companions of the youth.
"President Hu, what has happened?" Zhang Dongsheng asked, utterly bewildered. Ever since the Ming Tea House opened, he had been managing this teahouse on behalf of Hu Weiyong, and he had never seen Hu Weiyong mobilize such a massive force before.
Wanyao's punch had been brewing for a long time, so its force was naturally immensely ferocious. Even if the legacy spirit had recovered from its previous injuries, its overall strength was ultimately inferior to Wanyao's. Now, struck by Wanyao's punch, sustaining heavy injuries was only natural.
"Wait a minute! Mount Hua is different from Mount Emei! That is truly the number one sect in the northern realm, and their martial arts are all extraordinary. Why not bring them along?" the old ancestor asked doubtfully. "Precisely because of that... I don't want them to go," Chu Zifeng replied with reservations.
Su Yu was driven completely mad with rage, his words becoming incoherent as he lunged forward abruptly, his eyes bloodshot and radiating a terrifying aura.
After leaping down from the Heaven-Observing Terrace and navigating a few bounds to leave the Qianjue Palace, Ling Jiu discovered a problem—she seemed to have taken the wrong path.
Yining pondered for a long time and decided it was probably best not to invite that pair of rival sisters over. The guest list was nearly finalized.
"It's fine. I'm wearing thick clothes, trousers, thick shoes and socks, and a heavy cloak. Strolling through the garden on a foggy day is actually quite fun," huanhua said with feigned nonchalance to mask her inner guilt.
Hearing those words, she had just walked over and now walked away, clearly startled by the scene she had just witnessed.
For a moment, Bai Ruoxi struggled in his arms, at that moment seemingly wanting to push the other person away, but the man's overbearing strength completely prevented her from pushing him away by even half an inch.
Nanny Li personally led them to wash up and change. On the way, Murong Xiao nodded toward Nanny Li, signaling that they must take action tonight. Nanny Li gritted her teeth and nodded.
Now that her master was going, and she herself was the next guardian spirit marten of the Snow Lake entrance, it was truly difficult to make a decision at this moment.
Suddenly, a fragrance of peach blossoms wafted over, and amidst their daze, the crowd seemed to catch sight of a jade-green figure drifting toward them, catching the peach blossom branch wielded by the Miaoyin Fairy.
Not to mention that these pheasants could fly and were hard to hunt! Not to mention that deep within those mountains were big felines and wild wolves! How dared he venture into a place like that?
Seeing that Ye Ming had rarely shown anger, He Mo immediately composed herself, realizing that she had indeed been a bit too impulsive. Lowering her head, she offered an apology to Ye Ming.
Instead, he cast a sound-isolation spell before turning to question the Gao Ming and Gao Jue brothers standing behind him.
