Chapter 148

According to the shipping schedule, the Minsheng Company would first transport the wounded soldiers and the war orphans who had lost both parents, leaving key technical personnel like them for later. Amidst the helpless wait for their departure date, Lu Xuehua’s heart was weighed down with immense sorrow. Once they entered Sichuan, when would they ever be able to return to their homeland? Amidst the chaos of war, were her loved ones back home safe and sound?

The fifth is the Meditating Arhat, also known as the Mighty Arhat. Because he was a warrior in his past life, he possessed boundless strength and could move any heavy object.

"That's right. To be precise, you are currently at the early stage of F-grade, and you can only summon three. Each realm, both early and middle stages, only allows the unsealing of three, and only the late stage allows four. As for the latter eight levels, I am not too sure," Ret replied in a very mechanical tone, completely devoid of annoyance. Of course, he had no emotional fluctuations to begin with.

After a long silence, just as Zhao Yun was about to speak, a clamor from outside the door drifted in.

The Dragon-Vein Prince fell silent, carefully recalling his father’s analysis of Liu Huo. Before he came, Long Xingkong had once spoken.

The words of several ministers pulled Zhao Yun back to reality. He glanced at the people before him—his princes and his senior officials—all of whom were speaking on behalf of the Xu family. Zhao Yun lowered his head, lost in thought as he pondered what to do.

The sun was just rising, and the morning glow reflected upon the river. The Lei River rippled gently, shimmering with golden light, presenting a scene of absolute peace and tranquility. The officers and men of the 358th Regiment had just finished a simple breakfast. Having spent the entire night constructing fortifications, they were now seizing the rare moment of leisure to rest. Many soldiers were still washing up by the riverside, rinsing away the fatigue of the night.

"Him? Why would he want to collect my blood sample?" Qian Ruoruo never had a good impression of Huangfu Xi to begin with, and coupled with the demand for her blood sample, her mood instantly plummeted.

A massive wave of energy dispersed, igniting a searing heat. Sparks flew in all directions, landing on the zombies and continuing to burn them.

The round of wine lasted for nearly two full hours. However, seeing that midnight had already passed, Shanling Town remained entirely peaceful. The anticipated night raid on the town by barbarians riding flying beasts never took place.

"Awooh!" At that very instant, a massive bloody gash violently burst open on the blood monster’s gigantic body, and the creature let out a miserable shriek. Suppressed by the baleful aura of the evil-slaying divine weapon, the blood monster felt a terror unlike anything it had ever known.

"I said you are nothing more than an ugly reptile," Jiang Hua replied with utter nonchalance. This humanoid monster with a cockroach head had clearly reached the Emperor Realm, possessing terrifying strength, but with his weapon in hand, Jiang Hua had no intention of showing weakness.

"It's not that I want to go there, but Xu Haihui left a letter for me. I need to go and take a look; she must have left something there for me before she departed," Chen Mengsheng said, producing a key.

With a heavy swing of the weapon, every warrior surged forward like a wild horse breaking free from its reins. Battle cries, tearing sounds, and the trembling of the earth all boiled over at this very moment.

Showing a painful expression, Sandshrew was already too late to curl its body into a ball. Struck repeatedly by Infernape's Mach Punch, when it fell back to the ground, its eyes had turned into spirals, and it had lost its ability to battle.

Liu Hailong’s fist force was fierce and ferocious, and his grappling takedowns were extremely sharp. Although Lin Cheng possessed good softness and agility, allowing him to neutralize the blows landing on his body in time, he could not completely deflect them all. Liu Hailong’s punch power was simply too great, and Lin Cheng took more than a few hits to varying degrees. Everyone held their breath in suspense for him.

Cool and smooth to the touch, with a greasy, lustrous sheen on the surface, it was the pinnacle of jade. Unfortunately, it had remained in the hands of demons for many years and had been shrouded in darkness for several years, and one day it would hopefully see the light again.

The food and wine for twenty thousand men had nearly emptied the stock of every tavern within Chaisang City! A grand convoy fully loaded with all kinds of provisions drove toward the military camp. Upon hearing the news, the soldiers eagerly came forward to help unload the fine wine and delicious food! After a flurry of activity, dusk was already approaching.

Although the Elder Council secretly manipulated everything, they did not control every single match. For the ones left unmanipulated, there was always a certain degree of risk regarding who would win or lose.

"There are no airtight walls in this world. Look at it from another angle: the moment your incident occurred, someone immediately came to inquire about it. This also shows that you are popular and that people care about you, right?" Dai Xu comforted Fang Yuan.

"Ye Cheng, who instigated you to say this? If you are willing to out the person behind the scenes, I can plead with the ancestor to spare your life!" Xiao Xiao suddenly asked.

The voice within the sea of soul introduced how body techniques existed, moving from the shallow to the deep. It turned out that the mainland's understanding of cultivators was far too superficial.

That group of men barged straight in, making a beeline for Zhang Junhao. A thick-browed man of about forty years old, who led the group, walked over and suddenly threw a punch straight at Zhang Junhao.

Xiao Haiying was stunned for a moment! But before she even had time to process it, the door of the private room was knocked upon. Hearing the knock, she froze, and a look of panic unexpectedly surfaced on her face. Ni Yuan merely offered her a faint smile, then stood up and turned to open the door.

Only then did Hu Yinfeng realize that the consecutive cold, stinging sensations he had felt earlier were caused by Xue Hongyang hiding in the shadows and playing dirty tricks. The reason he had not collapsed until now was entirely thanks to the protection of the Holy Gu Spirit Armor; otherwise, he likely would have turned into a corpse long ago.

Jiang Xuan’s Tianyuan Sword trembled slightly. The Lizard-Dragon patriarch’s words had infuriated him, stirring up all the grievances he had harbored since entering the Celestial Realm.

"And you, Liu Feng. Don't act so righteous in front of me, putting on a facade of brotherly harmony. Do you think I don't know what you're plotting? You just want to take everything away from me," Liu Meng pointed at Liu Feng, gnashing his teeth.

Even while distracted by conversation, Luo Feng’s traveling speed was not hindered in the slightest. An hour later, he reached his destination.

"Xiaofeng, are you getting used to things here?" Qiu Yishui asked Mo Xiaofeng with concern. After all, Qingjiang City was a southern city, while Yanjing was in the north. Their relocation here brought changes not only to the environment but also to the climate.
