Chapter 64: Retreating Step by Step

Nie Xueyi perplexedly paused the sword in her hand and asked, "Who are you? Why are you helping me?"

The old man smiled and replied, "I am a resident of this place, and I have long heard of your heroic deeds. You stand up for justice, which is truly admirable. Please follow me; I know of a hidden place where you can take temporary shelter."

After a brief moment of hesitation, Nie Xueyi nodded, "Very well, I trust you."

Guided by the old man, Nie Xueyi arrived at a secluded courtyard. The old man pointed to a small cottage, "You can rest here for now, and set off after dawn."

Shortly afterwards, Su Haoming and Chu Han arrived at the courtyard one after another, and the three of them, under the old man's arrangement...

Within the Lord Prime Minister's Manor, Huang Xie was thinking of his student Xiong Jing. In some unknown corner of the city wall of Yingdu, someone was speaking of Li Yuan. A person who ought to have been dead bowed deeply into the pitch-black darkness, offering tribute with both hands.

The three of them could hardly believe what they had heard, feeling as though they were experiencing auditory hallucinations. A motorcycle production base—not an assembly plant, nor a manufacturing plant, but an entire production base.

"Well, let bygones be bygones. Didn't you beat me up back then anyway?" Wang Youcai immediately pulled a bitter face, looking quite like someone who had drawn the short straw.

"As for this matter, this humble servant will treat it as though it never happened. Should there be a next time, this humble servant will show no mercy!" The kneeling officials, still recovering from their lingering panic, stood about in a daze.

"The Great Ao has fallen asleep." Still within the borders of Qin, there were many Qin people all around. Tu Yi answered while looking around at the BaiDi cavalry and the Qin soldiers responsible for the escort. Being a physician, he had treated many soldiers along the way and won the respect of everyone.

Gradually, everyone began to chant the ancient folk song. The solemn singing, laden with boundless sorrow, echoed between heaven and earth like rolling yellow sands stirring up dust.

Although they had chatted extensively that night and exchanged gifts, they were still like friends who had only just met. They were far from sharing a bridal chamber, and their mutual understanding was so shallow that one might even say he knew Black Chan better than her.

In standard tactics, a center's range of movement is confined to the two paint zones. When on the offensive, they fight for position under the opponent's basket; when on the defensive, they return to their own basket to box out. As the tallest players, they run the longest distances, and the physical toll of jostling, boxing out, and competing for rebounds is severe.

Liang Dong desperately wanted to roll his eyes. Who the hell was asking you about that? Didn't he know what delicious food they had there? Didn't he know they changed the name of the place? Did he need anyone to remind him?

Furthermore, the number of mobile phone users was three times that of computer users. This was because government officials were barred from installing smart operating systems on office computers until a unified order was issued, yet they were entirely free to install them on their personal mobile phones without restriction.

"Don't be afraid, the spirit wolves have already run away." He comforted him softly, knowing he must have been terrified just moments ago.

Following the integration of the first phoenix tear, more and more phoenix tears were drawn toward the target. In the end, within a radius of three meters, all the phoenix tears scattered on the ground were pulled directly toward the stump of Ye Fei's severed arm.

"Mr. Weddell, may I come in?" Hai Ge did not dare to turn the dark red handle directly, asking politely. Strangely enough, Weddell made no further sound. After waiting for a long time with no response, he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and open the sealed door.

Huo Tingxiao uttered these words in a leisurely manner. Every single sentence felt like an atomic bomb exploding in everyone's ears, leaving the classroom silent for a long time as the crowd remained immersed in the overwhelming aura of the man who had just spoken.

Wan Qiu looked up at the burly man, then reached out and grabbed his hand. With a solid lower-body stance and a swift twist of his waist, he executed a clean shoulder throw, slamming the man's bulky frame directly onto the ground.

"Thump, thump—" With his ear pressed against the door, the knock Li Cai heard was almost loud enough to shatter his eardrum.

As she spoke, Xue Ning's gaze drifted toward Mo Chen's waist, where his purse hung.

After all, the Immortal Realm and the mortal cultivation world were too far apart for precise targeting. Narrowing the range down to a radius of half a million miles was already the absolute limit of what they could achieve.

Jing Jiaxian wanted to roll to the side to avoid him, but she lacked the strength. Wrapped in the warm, soft quilt, the effects of the alcohol began to creep up on her.

The Fifth Prince refused to take another step forward, for there was no longer anyone waiting for him on the other side. Feeling that the person following closely behind him had suddenly halted, the public official turned back abruptly, looking at the other with a mixture of exasperation and disappointment, his mouth filled with a long stream of earnest admonitions. Not daring to utter harsh reproaches, he could only wear an expression of heartbreaking grief.

Early the next morning, Kou Xi knocked on Wang Yazhi's door. The door was opened by Jin Ling, who looked disheveled and was letting out a yawn.

Jiang Shan did not hesitate to reply, instantly turning Pan Datou's nervous agitation—sparked by his own preceding words—into excitement.

Jiang Shan cast aside his worries regarding the stronghold's factions and teams. Having solved one problem, he now turned his attention to the next.

Upon witnessing this scene, the surrounding soldiers holding firearms immediately grew vigilant, training their gun muzzles instantly on Pietro, who was possessed by Moyang's true consciousness.

Seeing A Chu react this way, Qian Ling became even more certain that there was bound to be a secret hidden here that she was unaware of.

"Is Madam not feeling well?" Daphne had noticed the sluggishness and stiffness in Yue Qianqian's movements just as she was helping her take off the wedding dress, but she simply hadn't known how to voice her concern.

If that special shadow clone went undiscovered and managed to enter the main tournament, it could serve as a medium to reach the core of the Virtual Universe Company.

He had thought it would be a display of utmost benevolence if they merely handed over a few members of the Jia family, but he never expected them to deliver such a generous gift as well.

"An outcast is nothing more than an outcast, utterly incapable of assessing an opponent's strength. Did you think that having a shopkeeper vouch for you would prevent me from killing you without leaving a trace?" Tong Anbang placed his cup on the table, a playful expression playing across his face as if to say, *When playing a game of cat and mouse with me, you will never win.*

Before long, a pair of soft hands pressed onto Jiang Shan's shoulders and began to massage them gently.

"I am bound to fight her; whoever wins gets to marry you! If I win, I'll take you as my husband!" Chunyu Shangshang declared with a sorrowful expression.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chen wanted to say something more, but seeing the look in Liuli's eyes, he kept quiet and handed the spiritual stones from Immortal Fahua's storage pouch over to her.

Seeing this, the disciples of the Mount Hua Sect immediately stepped forward to protect their sect leader. The remaining disciples drew their swords and charged forward; in a short while, corpses littered the open ground. Those who survived, witnessing her formidable power, did not dare to act rashly.

The golden rocs in the sky roared in unison, sending visible sonic waves rippling in all directions, yet a few immensely powerful sound waves continuously locked onto Liu Chen.

"Not necessarily. Divine skills probably do not truly exist on this continent. In my opinion, calling them quasi-divine skills would be far more appropriate," said an arrogant youth with a preachy tone.

By the time Long Tengfei washed away the black impurities from his body and entered the living room, it was already filled with distinguished guests.

"I know you didn't mean to, so you don't need to feel guilty." With that, she glanced up at the sky. "It's getting late, everyone back to your homes!" The group looked up at the sky simultaneously and nodded in agreement.
