"That won't happen. We've known each other for a year, and I still understand your character," Qi Fei said with a smile.

Once aided by them, the individuals on the honor roll would acquire unimaginably powerful strength and destiny, ultimately gaining the recognition of the Divine Stone and fusing with the seed of the Divine Stone. From that moment on, their life and death would fall completely under the control of the other party.

After feasting on the flesh and blood of the Golden Spirit Flood Dragon, the dragon soul of the Heavenly Dragon City-Breaking Halberd finally awakened. Countless divine patterns emerged, and then, like a living creature, they spread and transformed, becoming increasingly profound. The giant halberd surged with bloody aura and finally recovered to the eighth-grade tier, matching the tier it possessed before the blood essence was swallowed by the Heavenly Eye.

The night was already deep, and there were no feasts in the world that never ended. Having eaten and drunk their fill, A Huang and the others bid farewell to the external guests one by one, and then retired to the stone chambers arranged by Uncle Lu to meditate and rest for the night. The next morning at dawn, they took leave of Uncle Lu and the others, transferring back to Yuling Star via the alternate-space portal.

He knew that it was Bai Zhi who had saved him just now. The warmth emanating from her soul constantly scorched his last remnants of sanity, while her words—"To be able to meet you in this lifetime means I have not lived in vain"—repeatedly extinguished the flames of his sorrow. He swore that he had never experienced such entanglement in all his life.

After arriving at Storm City, he massively expanded the forces and recruited troops. A little over a decade later, he had built a legion of 100,000, ranking first in strength across the entire empire, capable of shaking even Emperor Luojia with a single stomp.

Lin Yu watched clearly from the side, forming a secret incantation with his hand, waiting only for Huang Qi to make a move so as to preserve Zhuo Xin's life.

"You two still have that old habit; can't you exercise some restraint? You have not an ounce of the demeanor befitting peak masters. In this regard, you should learn more from Junior Brother Mi." Having said this, he turned his gaze to the Dao-robed young man who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed nearby.

"This thing looks so much like a totem of our Miao ethnic group!" Mu Leng observed carefully and said softly. Mu Fei and Wu Linger looked at it as well, wearing expressions of doubt.

After a period of readjustment and a brief exchange with the three of them, Lu Wu merely claimed that he had encountered a frantic Xiantian late-stage ferocious wolf king beast, and after a fierce battle, had managed to kill it by a very narrow margin, sustaining some injuries himself in the process.

"This disciple will definitely not live up to Master's expectations and will make the Zhang family's Qimen Dunjia renowned far and wide!" Lin Haochen said solemnly.

Later, Tuoba Xue returned to Tianzhu Mountain with Senior Brother He Liang and Second Senior Brother Situ Yun, continuing to study martial arts and practice under the guidance of Master Zuo Ci. One day, five years later, Tuoba Xue suddenly disappeared from Tianzhu Mountain. He Liang searched everywhere but could not find her.

As an ancestor of monsters, he still held deep apprehension; how terrifying must the person behind the scenes be! If a figure of that magnitude was manipulating all of this from the shadows, the situation would become extremely severe. Reflecting on this carefully, a heavy weight settled in his heart.

Yuan Hongcai looked at Zhao Min, then at Xiao Yan, his bloated face trembling as he retreated with Zhao Li.

He had long felt that the aura on this jade stone was very familiar, but he had not expected that familiar aura to come from the World Gate of the Secondary Fire Origin Realm.

But when all is said and done, you have only been cultivating for a single day; what right do you have to be arrogant with a mere Blood Refining Eighth Layer cultivation?

Two figures, one white and one yellow, were seen flying through the air. One had a head of white hair while the other was bald, and both were similarly elderly in age. Yet, the two elders' eyes flickered with restrained brilliance and they appeared full of vitality.

Lady Wang had just returned from the Zhen estate and, without disturbing Yan Jingru to wait on her, hurried straight to Tong Fangqing's courtyard.

Shen Suixin took in Rong Meng's anger without batting an eye; the angrier Rong Meng became, the brighter Shen Suixin smiled.

If Ning Baoqi were still to disregard everything and marry a commoner marquis, it might lead people to hold her in high regard for being affectionate and loyal. Now that she gave up and willingly went to a temple, she could not wash away her unfeeling and unprincipled nature.

The ocean waves were huge, pushing them forward, and they had no idea which direction they were swimming in. The rockets behind were in hot pursuit. Finally, when surfacing to catch a breath, Zi'an's arm was hit. Her arm lost all its strength, making her unable to paddle, and she began to sink.

Qin Yancong blushed; inexperienced and unaware of the importance of full-blooded brothers, he had almost been killed by Qin Yanheng.

Yet regardless of how others mocked, three days later, the Ye family happily married off Ye Xin'er.

Su Yanran still could not set her mind at ease, using her finger to wipe away the blood still lingering at the corner of my mouth, only the blood had already dried and could not be wiped off this way.

Thus three or four days passed. Although Murong Jie could not yet walk on the ground, he was already able to speak and slightly turn his body.

At this time, Huo Ruyan had already rushed into the entrance of the sixth floor of the Tianshu Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, flying in pursuit of Lin Xiao, who had been knocked downward by the red pagoda.

Therefore, although the value of the shop at Luofeng Slope had undoubtedly plummeted straight down at this moment, it did not mean it would instantly cease to generate income.

Ivanka bit her lip, gave Guo Xiong a deep look, and turned to leave, leaving Guo Xiong—that iron-straight man—standing bewildered in place: What does that mean?

The screen was originally pitch black, with only the faint glint of starlight flashing across the sea surface. Before long, above, streaks of red light dragging fiery tails suddenly appeared.

"Rest assured, history has a self-correcting function; another group of people will replace their roles," Liu Yuan said with considerable confidence.

Mournful wails echoed, and the shadows of the trees swayed tirelessly, like an ink-brushed biography moving across the window paper, yet leaving not the slightest trace behind.

At that moment, I froze, because I was far too familiar with the voice, yet it was not my voice, but Yu Shiyao's voice. Was I in a dream, transformed into Yu Shiyao?

The usable stone grease in Xiangwu City, as Qu Zhang had said, was actually running critically low. There was no prepared stone grease on the south side of the city, but this was a military secret; not even a single defending soldier knew of it, let alone the Qin army.

Because the path he was currently walking made understanding the fundamental laws of all things of little significance—or at least, of very little current significance.

The room fell into a terrifying silence for a moment, and everyone looked nervously at Zhang Youtong, terrified that she might utter something completely unacceptable.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone followed the sound and looked at the ground. Niu Laoda and Zhu Laoer immediately realized that this was the treasure Lao Si Yang had risked his life to snatch from Wu Hao, having died under the dragon's fire before he had a chance to send it out. Blood surging to their heads and ignoring their bodily exhaustion, the two brothers lunged toward the divine flute.

When Wu Ming heard Shi Long say that the night-pearl was not a genuine night-pearl, but a fifth-grade monster core, he immediately strode over to the rogue cultivator's stall, picked up the night-pearl, and bought it outright without even haggling, leaving the stall-owning rogue cultivator overjoyed.

Especially for someone like Qi Xingduo, whose monthly mortgage, car loans, insurance, and living expenses amounted to a truly substantial sum. With prices constantly rising while wages remained stagnant, he naturally had to budget carefully for the future.
