Volume 1, Chapter 24: Chu Yuning had deceived her for ten whole years!

A moment later, two nonagenarians with the ethereal grace of Taoist immortals descended from the air and arrived before the corpse at the Mozi Mansion.

Lin Qingyu had achieved fame very early on, but ever since his hope of breaking through to the Martial King realm was severed, he had lived in seclusion, and many newly ascended Martial Venerables were unaware of his existence.

"I think I might need to understand the Power of the World," Chen Fang said to Hei Yi Su Zhen.

Ying Zhen had suddenly unleashed his technique, condensing it into such a subtle form, precisely to strike with a single blow, injure Di Shengtian, and thereby escape with his life.

The martial artists present were astonished; none of them had expected that Zhang Lin was actually an expert in internal force.

To outsiders, so many massive black halberds intertwined together seemed sufficient to skewer anyone caught within them into a hedgehog.

Lin Feng’s fighting style was the most ferocious. Using the Soul-Devouring Eye in conjunction with forbidden formations proved even more powerful than imagined, unexpectedly capable of freezing a corpse-slave for a full breath of time.

Families like theirs would never have a need for her help, so she could only say she would thank them if there were an opportunity in the future.

However, Yun Lan and Liu Fei were only slightly surprised. The Zichen Continent featured all sorts of architecture, and so-called palaces were not places of cultivation; as long as they served the purpose of practice, their outward appearance could be entirely ignored.

If an Emperor of the Martial Emperor peak like the Yi Emperor was already so remarkable, and one added a Heavenly Luo Martial Emperor at the Martial Emperor realm, their discourse on the Dao would surely be an earth-shattering grand occasion—a monumental stroke of fortune. How could Yang Qi not be surprised that such an opportunity had appeared right before his eyes?

Elisande and Tyrande had transformed into construction foremen, bustling between the great work sites of Suramar and Darnassus, directing large construction teams and building golems to carry out street renovations and forceful demolitions.

Cao Fei had once trained as a monk at Shado-Pan Monastery, but he later dropped out, further solidifying the belief in national restoration within his heart.

"Thank you for the reminder," You Jin said, his nature honest and thick-skinned. Having lost, he accepted the defeat and walked straight out of the courtyard.

"My Lord, there is no need for anxiety," Guo Jia smiled. "I have patrolled the enemy's city defenses for several days and already have a plan to break the city." Cao Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly asked for the details. When Guo Jia leaned in and whispered the plan, Cao Cao was ecstatic and immediately ordered the army to act accordingly.

At this moment, the disadvantages of the complex factions within the city became apparent; it was impossible for them to work together in harmony to resist the enemy.

I didn't care about much else and slashed with my blade. Although the bone-gnawing blood corpse’s poisonous palms couldn't hurt me, its strength was immense. Before I could even get close, I was slapped away and sent flying into a thick tree trunk nearby.

As the words fell, Bai Feitian arrived before Zhao Wuji and thrust his sword, seeking to claim his life.

Kang Peng remained silent, then bowed and said, "Please follow me, everyone." He strode out of the hall. Though confused, the group followed him to the altar in the courtyard.

Mei'er spoke in a low voice. The room fell silent for a moment, followed by a man's muffled laughter, carrying a sinister chill.

He was deliberately expressing his emotions and acting contrarily to her because he did not want her to do as she intended.

If Xuzhou could not be held and were truly taken by Cao Cao, people like them—Tao Qian’s confidants—would likely face a grim fate. They were not renowned scholars of the world that any warlord would treat with courtesy upon meeting.

Xiao Ling was bold and skilled, paying no heed to the warnings of others as she led Yufeng and Liyang to find an entrance and walked inside.

Lu Bai calmed himself in the restroom for a long time, and only after the heat in his body had slowly subsided did he emerge, feeling exhausted.

Ye Xi had indeed beckoned for people, but rather than torturing the assassin, she had him released, pulled up a chair for him, and even poured him a glass of water.

Just like the Vast Will, now that the Devouring Extinction was born, destroying everything and taking Chi Jingfang away—or perhaps it would take him away one day—but what could he do about it?

"That quilt, it only cost one hundred!" Lu Bai worried that Chuchu might have an allergic reaction to such bedding.

After the meal, Chuchu and the others prepared to leave. Xia Ran and Bai Keke hugged Chuchu and were reluctant to let go for a long time.

Xu Manni, who still held some status, sang a song on stage, drawing cheers from some of the crowd before coming down to interact with everyone.

Hai Ling was straightforward and simple. Hearing that her father and the clan leader had not treated Lu Yao with special favor, she couldn't help but worry that Lu Yao might leave out of unhappiness.

Just as everyone was talking, the entire planet suddenly trembled, and a powerful beam of light instantly enveloped every corner. In truth, even the protective layers of time and space could not conceal such a powerful radiance.

"Xiao Yi, you are a Juren. Many people know about our engagement. If you stop Xu Zhiyan at a time like this, do you still care about your reputation?" Xu Wenyu wasn't angry, but she straightened her face and addressed the issue through Xiao Yi’s actions.

She happily brushed the fur on Yin Lan’s back and, upon confirming there were no visible wounds, revealed a bright smile.

It must be that this stinking beggar in front of them used some street trick to deceive a fool like Ma Xingbo.

Watching Janna’s customary social smile, David Berg also nodded with a smile.

Continuing where Janna left off, Lilith Mag, who was clearly in a much better mood than when the class began, continued to explain the so-called "Power of the Mind," based on the premise of psychological suggestion.

A few days ago, he had seized an opportunity to catch Xu Mo and made a scene in his office, but Xu Mo had ignored him.

The Eighteen Bronze Men had originally intended to use the Diamond Demon-Subduing Formation to firmly suppress Bai Chen, but at this moment, they were forced back repeatedly by the powerful force released by the Profound Light Shield, their formation in total disarray.

The staff had encountered difficult and troublesome guests before, but this man in front of them seemed somewhat different.

That’s great; she and Jiang Lijun had another child. It seems heaven is still fair to them after all.

Looking toward the center, I saw the chieftain. He had been beaten by us until he was unrecognizable; the feathers on his head had been knocked off, and his right cheek was swollen like a pig’s trotter.

Guo Xixi thought for a moment, took off the necklace from her neck, threaded both rings onto it, and hung it around her neck.

"Ninth Brother!" I supported Old Nine’s arm, unable to control my emotions, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Those who believe in Buddhism feel that prayer beads are extremely precious if they have been offered before the Buddha for ten years, heard monks chanting scriptures daily... and bathed in the Buddha’s light while sitting at the feet of the Buddha.

"Sister Zhou—no, Auntie Zhou! It is so wonderful to see you!" I was so excited that I was incoherent. It had been about five or six years since we last met; Zhou Mei must be forty-five or forty-six now.

Now that the old, golden-branched and jade-leaved lady was critically ill, surely the person she most wanted to see should be Nie Wuying?
