“Even with death staring him in the face, he still dares to be stubborn.” Seeing Xiao Gui close his eyes, He Feng continued dragging the soul artifact closer, inch by inch.

Iida Tenya heard this and tried to lift his head, but the overwhelming pressure bore down on him so heavily that he could not raise it at all.

“Is wearing sunglasses against the law?” Jing Sheng Su Su shook off his hand. She had just been about to find out what was going on. Were soldiers really so idle these days?

As his supernatural ability began to circulate, one term after another appeared in Long Fei’s mind.

That was because doing so required an enormous amount of supernatural power, whereas Long Fei’s level made it easy for him to accomplish.

Drunken Spring Breeze threw the wine jar from the air toward the ground. When it shattered, the Tang army soldiers clearing the battlefield below were startled and looked up, cursing him loudly. Then they caught sight of Zifei and froze for a moment before saluting. Turning around, they continued cursing Drunken Spring Breeze.

Unless they were demons! After thinking it over again and again, that was the only possibility. That day, they had descended the mountain because of the demonic invasion, intending to summon Chongtian back to discuss how to deal with it. It seemed the demons had moved first and found them.

Although it was extremely difficult to obtain, their king of paparazzi, Fingel, had still managed to acquire the relevant film footage.

“In any case, you can only be my concubine. If you intend to follow me, I will say the same thing when we reach His Majesty,” I said with a smile.

An Tiantian was completely dazed when Mo Chen suddenly embraced her. She did not dare move at all, simply allowing him to hold her.

Liu Yingxuan truly had no idea what else to say. All she could do was rub her forehead and say, “Mother, I’m tired. I’m going to rest first.” Without another word to her mother, she walked straight back to her room on the second floor.

It cannot be destroyed! After exchanging blows for only three minutes, Yama had already determined that he could not eliminate this apprentice grim reaper through his own strength alone. He had already used every trump card he possessed and had no more tricks left to play.

Lucifer fixed Beck with a sharp gaze. The smoke emanating from his body grew increasingly dense, and black vapor as thick as ink surged toward Beck with the force of an avalanche.

After waiting for a while, Guangbo climbed up to the watchtower. Once he confirmed that the person was indeed Leisheng, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers guarding the gate to open the entrance to the training grounds. Then, in a panic, Guangbo ran to the gate to welcome Leisheng.

Beck had no time to argue with A-Gan. He seized the other man by the collar and demanded loudly, “What is going on?”

When Zhao Xun saw Li Xun emerge from the palace, he froze slightly. His gaze then turned icy as he stared at Li Xun and questioned him coldly.

Jia Xin, who was near the Spirit Plant Garden, heard the tremendous commotion coming from that direction and curled his lips into a smile. He immediately ran toward the garden. Judging by the timing, Jia Er should already have made his move. Next came catching them red-handed.

“Yueque, she is my classmate. Didn’t I tell you? Something happened at home, and she’s in a bad mood,” Bai Feifan said, his heart in turmoil.

“It’s all swollen, Your Majesty!” Lina cried out. It was clearly swollen already—why was he still forcing himself to act tough?

Guo Yu pouted, looking so aggrieved that he seemed about to cry. But a single indifferent glance from his second uncle silenced him, and the pitiful child was once again carried away by his wet nurse.

Yes, Prince Duan’s inability to walk had not been congenital. He had been thrown from a horse at the age of ten, and the accident had left him disabled.

With two people supporting her, Xiao Wanci used the chamber pot. Then, with their assistance, she changed out of her thoroughly soaked clothes and put on a clean set.

Ever since Wei Limò had visited the Qingyan Hall of the Falling Cherry Palace and seen through Consort Yirong’s thoughts, he had made no further move. Aside from handling state affairs each day, he simply waited for the woman from the Jade Hibiscus Palace to lower her head and apologize to him.

A moment later, the two of them stood outside the threshold. When they heard a voice from within say, “Show them in,” Liu Tong led the way and guided Jiang Yushu into the main hall.

Zhang Rui was so furious that she nearly suffered a heart attack. She knew she was in danger, which was why she had tried to build a good relationship with Qu Xiaoxiao, hoping that Qu Xiaoxiao would lend her a hand.

The residence of the old General Wu Weizhong was also in Santun Camp. It was very close to Zhong Nan’s house, only a few minutes away on foot. That had been one of the main reasons Zhong Nan had purchased the property in the first place.

Xiao Ye let out a long breath and thought to himself how close it had been. Sure enough, his guess had been correct: the Poison Demon might merely have happened to pass through this place. If he had lost his composure and fled just now, he might instead have aroused the demon’s suspicion.

There were quite a few people in the Lotus Realm who had ascended to immortality in broad daylight. Among the five leading sects of the Lotus Realm, every one of them had records of disciples ascending in broad daylight and attaining the Way. It was something witnessed and known by all. As for the sacred artifacts of the three teachings—Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism—people had only ever heard of them; no one had actually seen one.

However, at that moment, the remaining three beastified humans finally noticed Zhou Yue’s presence as well. They each let out an enraged roar and charged toward him at greater speed.

Countless powerful experts had barely flown out of Poison Wolf Star before falling into the great formation. Heavenly fire refined them, and those with weaker cultivation were reduced directly to ashes. When the Eight Desolations and Six Directions Formation had originally been arranged by divine-level experts, its power had already been sufficient to refine even Middle Heavenly Lords. Now that it had been formed by the Yang Family’s divine generals, all of whom were Supreme Heavenly Lords, its might was even more unfathomable.

The Plain Yellow Banner belonged to the Upper Three Banners and was directly commanded by the emperor. It had no supreme commander, only assistant commanders. Empress Dowager Cian was also a member of the Plain Yellow Banner. The Plain Blue Banner belonged to the Lower Five Banners, and Empress Dowager Cixi had originally been a member of it. After becoming Imperial Noble Consort Yiyi, she was transferred into the Plain Yellow Banner. Elevating Li Guolou into the Plain Yellow Banner meant that he was being cultivated as a Manchu noble.

“He has really gone all out—almost four sacred artifacts!” Yang Mufeng’s expression grew solemn, but there was not the slightest trace of fear in his heart.

This only made the Blood-Refined Essence even more curious about the A-Liang before it. He was merely a Saint of Judgment, yet he possessed so many strange and unusual techniques. It was indeed enough to arouse anyone’s curiosity.

At present, the only thing Li Xian needed to do was to focus intensely on education and strive, over the next five to ten years, to recruit people who had achieved something through their studies and put them to use for the nation.

“Then why did that old fool, the Jade Emperor, announce to the entire cultivation world that Chang’e was his concubine?” Wang Fang was puzzled by this and asked the question.
