Seeing Dong Yue’s appearance, especially her enviably long legs, Qin Dong was seized by lust and wanted to assault her right in front of Dong Yuxiang.
Jiang Bo knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Dong Yue struggled in utter despair. In her eyes, the Qin family was an utterly overwhelming presence.
Qin Dong was just about to have his way.
Screech!
The sound of a car braking rang out, followed by another black...
Shangguan Yun had also been seized. Knowing that he was in grave danger and that he was carrying a major secret, he continued to play dumb.
Dragging his battered body forward, Deng Yu counted the survivors. His expression darkened. Of the more than one thousand troops they had brought, casualties had been catastrophic, leaving barely over two hundred. Few refugees remained in the city as well. Ye Ya breathed lightly and sheathed her curved blade.
Ordinarily, a person who had endured eight tribulations of thunder would live for roughly five thousand years. If they failed to survive the ninth tribulation by the age of five thousand, they would die naturally—their allotted span having come to an end.
“Zhang Yunze, what do you think of this dish?” Bai Huiqian asked, placing another serving into Zhang Yunze’s bowl with a gesture that seemed determined not to be outdone.

This filled Su Mu with curiosity. He had no idea what the creature used to breathe. Stranger still, the beast’s horns grew from both sides of its head like a fan, giving it a rather imposing appearance.
The originally quiet scene erupted at the sound of a voice, and every gaze fixed upon the hand raising a bidding paddle at the front.
The people of the Capital Sect had always despised the Koreans mainly because they believed them to be lackeys of the Americans.
Guai Yibu’s expression grew increasingly grim. Watching him, Ye Qingjue cast a worried glance at Luo Wusheng, who lay there quietly.
Long Jianfei merely smiled. What he had to consider now was how to carry out the operation more effectively. He pointed at the map.
Mei Hanxia looked over and saw, a dozen or so paces away in the forest, a dense mass of white mist slowly shifting along. It was impossible to make out what lay within.
Though she felt deeply uncomfortable, at least this proved that his kindness to her the previous night had served only that purpose. He had not been plotting some scheme together with Mo Zihan.
Luo Qingyue was filled with suspicion. They still had a great many questions left unanswered—how could she possibly have understood everything?
Murong Che rose and walked outside. When he reached the entrance to the Imperial Clan Court, he looked down, cold light flashing from his eyes.
The entire process lasted less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense. Ministers and commoners alike watched as the grand investiture ceremony came to such a hasty end.

“Your Majesty, I would like to ask you a question.” Helian Heya propped her head up with one hand and reclined languidly against the soft cushion. The carriage’s jolting had indeed left her somewhat weary, but amid the green hills and clear waters, her spirit had relaxed. Thus, at this moment of greatest ease, some of her thoughts gradually became clearer.
She wondered to herself: This city isn’t large. Could he have gone out and encountered Chen Muyang, or perhaps Chen Muyang’s father, Chen Huaxing?
“What?” Li Chen tilted his head slightly, only to find Huang Jie staring wide-eyed at the scene ahead, one hand covering her mouth as she stood speechless.
Although he felt extremely embarrassed, for Mo Zihan’s safety, Yi Wuchen forced himself to ask.
Although she did not know the name of the First Holy Lord, she was determined to make every effort tonight and not let this opportunity slip away.
Almost in the blink of an eye, dozens of robbers—some at the First-Rank Martial God level and others at the Second-Rank Martial God level—were blown to pieces. They turned into dust without even realizing what had happened, leaving behind only a trace of blood mist drifting in the air.
The guards naturally understood the situation perfectly. There was nothing more to say. To protect the caravan’s safety, they had to patrol without interruption. This was of absolute importance and essential for the caravan to continue onward; otherwise, the entire caravan might vanish overnight. Their adversaries were no weaklings.
No matter how you put it, it could hardly be called the crime of extorting the people and draining them of their wealth. Besides, let me say this: I have made quite a lot of money.
