Chapter 37: By a Stroke of Luck

This situation prompted the members of the Heavenly Heart Sect to rush over immediately. Given that the reputation of several great holy clans was already at stake, they were at a loss as to how to proceed.

Huangfu Che observed Luo Sisi’s weary appearance and did not overthink it, assuming she was simply moved by the story. He comforted her with a glance, knowing she likely lacked the energy to deal with the matter at this moment, and decisively requested that Wang Pingxin be sent to the Huangfu family’s local branch office.

Lan Zhi consoled her and gradually steered the conversation elsewhere. After the two chatted for quite some time, Lan Zhi took her leave and returned to Chengxin Courtyard.

Xiao Xiaoyue was watering flowers. Since losing her cultivation, she had become much more peaceful, spending her days tending to the plants or occasionally cooking a meal.

"Boom!" With a thunderous sound, an ice wall surged from the frozen surface beneath his feet. A ten-meter-thick wall of ice erupted, blocking Qing Zhi's path. Because the cold was so extraordinary, the ice wall was harder than ordinary steel.

"You alone cannot stop me." Qi Tianjiao smiled faintly, parried Jin Shan's left hand, and struck twice in rapid succession, forcing the Vajra clan members behind Hu Mei to retreat. With a slide of his feet, he swept Hu Mei into his arms, pulling her free from Jin Shan's control.

Cheng Ke sat up straight, looking at the stack of account books with a look that was not quite a smile. The accounts were clear; Prince Cheng was clearly determined to balance the ledgers in Luo City, and it remained to be seen how he would manage it.

After all, Tu Ba was his boss. Though Tu Hong complained inwardly, he dared not act out and could only provide a detailed analysis.

What was most unexpected, however, was that while the men Liu Chenggang had brought were beaten, those secretly protecting him suddenly struck, injuring Zhou Nian and Hong Shan before taking them away.

On the way back, she kept reflecting. She felt that what she had said that night had hurt Ding Qian, yet Ding Qian had not blamed her, instead showing her even greater care. This stirred a deep sense of self-reproach and endless guilt within her.

Dewott retracted its scalchops. Recalling the revenge-based sword technique it had just executed, a glimmer of realization finally dawned in its mind.

They began to use the convenience of the sect to accept tasks discarded by the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court to earn resources.

Seeing the shock on everyone's faces, Victor felt, for the first time, a sense of helplessness that his original self had not studied harder.

On the dueling stage, Lu Fang sensed the true strength of his opponent and immediately felt the situation becoming tricky.

Hearing this, Carlos could not help but cough lightly and tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to stop asking.

Judging by his expression, he was full of resentment, looking left and right as if he were lost.

Regarding the third batch, although Rose City did not send any peak mid-level martial artists, the other cities sent quite a few people to escort them.

A hundred elite cavalrymen, both men and horses clad in silver armor, their silver helmets adorned with white feathers on both sides. As their iron hooves struck the ground, a chilling, murderous aura radiated outward, which was truly terrifying.

For some reason, when Li Chao heard that Rong Ling’s lunch box contained egg dumplings, he was extremely surprised—one could even say shocked.

The next day, Li Li took Chen Du to the city where Nankai University was located. The first thing they did upon arriving was to greet the local "Anything Goes" office and ask them to help look after Chen Du.

At that time, that man would never be foolish enough to let the thriving "Most Beautiful" crumble. Zhou Manrou could also use such means to regain some of her power and force the man to concede.

These people were temporarily stationed on the front lines. The two families were not fools; they knew that if they couldn't hold back this wave of zombies, the settlement behind them would eventually collapse. Thus, even though the battle was fierce, they said nothing to the troops, for they, too, feared death.

Feng Qingsu turned her head and beamed, shaking her head without a word as she handed clean clothes to Yun Cheng and patted his wet hair.

Among these generals, some were old veterans, but most had risen through the ranks based on military merit during the nine months of conquest, belonging to a new generation of commanders.

I could not move, so I reached into Third Master Dao’s pocket and took out a very ordinary iron ring, which was inlaid with a black bead that looked exactly like an eyeball.

"Let's not talk about that for now. That must be the top of the tower, right?" Noelle pointed to the staircase in the center of the courtyard leading to the upper level. Unlike the auxiliary stairs placed to the side, this one was positioned right in the center, and its uniqueness was apparent at a glance.

"Lei Bicheng, I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!" Long Yin, hearing Lei Bicheng’s remark about "those who know the times are the truly wise," felt it was an eyesore and began to scold him again.

Li Ming, the instructor of the Third Regiment, was a political cadre transferred temporarily. The apocalypse had arrived before he could be promoted by his superiors to regimental political commissar. However, because he remained with the Third Regiment as an instructor, his rank was a bit lower. Now, with the official appointment finally arriving and even a promotion included, it was truly a joyous occasion.

Matters of the state could be slightly exaggerated, but they could not be falsified. Any shred of deception would carry an extremely heavy burden of responsibility.

"Hmph, to be late as an instructor—I really don't see why he had to come along," Youcis said with great dissatisfaction.

"I won't do such an embarrassing move!" Nica insisted. It made me wonder how such a cute gesture could be considered embarrassing in her eyes. Had ten years of living in the shadows caused our worldviews to clash?

The man and the giant python remained in a stalemate, the battle coming down to who would collapse first. Time slipped away bit by bit in this heart-stopping encounter. Surrounded by so many people and already wounded, the giant python eventually ran out of stamina, and the speed at which it attacked gradually slowed down.
