Happy New Year!

As for those craftsmen, none of them possessed high cultivation. An Yu used exceptionally skillful methods to seal all their meridians before allowing the cavalry to take them away. They might prove to be excellent laborers for building siege weapons. Only now did the Maha realize that seizing the formation was a crucial task, but capturing those who built it was even more important.

What has become of this world? Why are masters at the pinnacle so worthless, appearing every few days as if they were nothing? Has the world’s law changed? Is it no longer necessary to defeat a master at the peak to reach that realm yourself?

Upon hearing this, Daxi’s expression shifted slightly in the pit, a sharp gleam flickering in his eyes as he discreetly sized up the newcomer. Listening to the old farmer’s explanation, Huo Xinchen found his knowledge greatly expanded. Usually, water restrains fire, but who would have thought fire could restrain water? Truly, the world is full of wonders.

Dawn was breaking, and many disciples of the Murong family began their morning exercises on the training grounds, practicing boxing forms and swordplay. In the chaos of battle, neither side wished to make too much noise. Their mana gathered without dispersing; though they fought with all their strength, little damage was done to the environment.

Suddenly, above the desert death scorpion that sought to escape, the stars appeared in the heavens, and a mighty wave of tribulation shot down from above. As it descended, countless bolts of lightning transformed into dragons, weaving incessantly through the air.

“You speak just like that person did all those years ago,” a sharp voice said, tinged with loneliness.

Following Lucifer’s finger, Rod discovered that the uninhabited buildings were all located within the territories of the other seven winged clans, while the rest lay within Lucifer’s branch.

I did not know how to comfort Ming Si’s emotions. I could only bury my head in his chest, letting my warmth feel his cold body.

Yun Qianyu was startled by the venomous hatred in Qing Yan’s eyes, afraid to meet her gaze.

“Big sister, it can’t end like this! Think of another way,” Fang Mulin pleaded.

Besides, with the power he possessed now, unless a deity truly descended, no one could cause him mortal harm.

Mo Yi’s most trusted aide, Mo Qing, understood his thoughts and asked directly. After all, with someone like Mo Yi, if you didn’t speak plainly, but instead beat around the bush, he’d never trust you, much less entrust you with anything. Demons, after all, are innately suspicious.

“Take her to the hospital immediately!” Seeing Li Rushi faint, Li Shihan hurried to support her and called to the nearby police.

The palace was filled with a faint scent of calming incense. In Nangong Zhuohua’s blood-red eyes, subtle ripples shimmered as he carefully watched the person sleeping in his arms. After a long while, he gently raised his hand and softly stroked her tightly furrowed brow.

Ye Tian arrived at the place Li Shuai indicated, seeing the sign reading “Principal’s Office.” He was frustrated—how had he missed it earlier?

Yun Chi suddenly sensed the murderous aura erupting from him, warily placing her hand atop her ring, ready to draw her sword at any sign of trouble.

This was the Prince of Cheng’s mansion. Though she knew she was overstepping her bounds, Lin Nuannuan couldn’t help but speak up to advise.

Xu Huaiyi left the Alchemy Academy, went to the Administration Hall to collect two years’ worth of merit points for an apprentice—two hundred forty in total—and spent thirty more to exchange for a bottle of nourishing pills for mid-stage alchemy.

Reason told her the best course now was to retreat, or summon the leaders of all seven major sects and kill Jun Muqian here.

Six masters stood in terror, surrounded by seas of blood, floating corpses, mountains of bones, and pits filled with thousands of bodies, as if they stood in hell itself.

After throwing the horse down earlier, blood seeped from his wounds. Fearing to stain his outer robe, he simply removed it, exposing his injuries and frightening those around him into shivering.

Yang Hengrui also vaguely noticed that the stone appeared to have seams, suggesting it was not natural but artificially made.

The door opened again. Before the two could speak, they both stepped aside as Li Yu threw a basin of water where they had just stood, splashing their shoes.

Tang Haotian’s eyes filled with tears. He nodded emotionally, “Yes, it’s truly wonderful… I never imagined she would one day return to my side. President Gu, I owe it all to you. I really, really thank you!” With that, Tang Haotian stood and bowed deeply to Gu Nanyin.

But if the Star Net Bureau and the Imperial Star Division were involved, why not tell Su Wanqing directly, instead of using Su Yuan as a proxy?

As soon as the words were spoken, a shocking column of blood appeared on Yin Hong’s neck. His entire head was hurled upward by a tremendous force. Eyes wide with disbelief, he wondered—how could he die at the hands of an enemy general when he wore immortal garments for protection?

The waiter hurried to mediate, speaking kindly, but the man was clearly set on causing trouble, determined to disrupt the restaurant.

Although the Cloud Leopard exaggerated, Huang Shi felt there was some truth in what he said. Since Zhang Ye entered office, he had acted outrageously—beating palace officials, assaulting the son of the commandant, dismissing ninety thousand spiritual laborers, all acts that incited public anger. And Zhang Ye had done them all.
