High in the air, a massive hand formed in an instant and slammed down toward the valley. The power unleashed in that moment was at least that of an eighth-tier Divine Ability Realm master.
Mu Chenglin set aside his smile and nodded solemnly. "There is indeed a matter. An old friend of mine, the very person who helped me escape and survive in Fuzhou, has run into a very troublesome situation."
In any case, there is no way to manage it all. The invasion of the Primordial Demons is not something the current strength of the Qin Territory can hope to resist.
However, he remained by Meng Wuxie’s side, seemingly waiting for the logistics department to arrive.
After the last incident, Sui Fei’er and Ji Han no longer had much to say to each other. Seeing Ji Han daydreaming during class, she looked at him with a sense of helplessness and tugged at the corner of his sleeve.
Luan Zhongxu’s reputation in Yunsha City was neither good nor bad; one could even say he was the most lax city lord in the city's modern history.
In that instant, every sword within the Sword Valley seemed to resonate, emitting a bizarre sound.
Feeling the intense gale and seeing the awe and terror on the faces of those behind him, Wang Zha gave a bitter smile. Playing the hero was not his intention, but he had no choice but to put on a show.
More than anything, she felt joy; she hadn’t seen Bian Bi’an for days, and she truly missed him.
Han Lin glanced behind him. He had already bid farewell to Liu Xian and his nephew Liu Chuan. As for Elder Ouyang Changsong, he felt he had fulfilled his obligations by giving the Vermilion Bird blood and the Nether Spring to Liu Chuan. With the matter of the Xu siblings resolved, he had no further ties.
Arriving at the entrance of the dance hall, the ticket price was five yuan. Long Hao remembered it only cost two in the county, but here in the provincial capital, it was five—there was truly no helping it.
Of the four princes of the Great Kang Dynasty, three had fallen today, leaving only one. If this were to become known, it would cause widespread terror, and the world, which had only known peace for a short while, would likely descend into chaos once more.
Logically, a cultivator with such low cultivation as Lin Jing should have been dealt with in a single strike, but it could not withstand the special effectiveness of the Pure Yang Flames against demons. Even a slight graze left it rolling on the ground in agony, leaping and thrashing about.
One letter for Malfoy, one for Filch—the former emphasized "gratitude" for the attempted assassination, while the latter invited him to help treat Mrs. Norris.
Although his injuries had recovered slightly, they were still far from healed; this time, the damage was not as minor as he had imagined.

Duofu murmured in a trembling, excited voice, his words trapped in his throat, barely audible even to himself.
Cui Ruliang agreed. He channeled his supernatural ability and looked ahead, staring for so long that his eyes grew painfully dry before he finally closed them.
When Sister Feng heard this, she was even more furious. "Sister?" Did those two vixens deserve such a title?
Following behind Xu Miaojin were a dozen servants; the one speaking was their leader, a burly man with a thick beard known by the nickname Big Ox.
In this play, the Wutian Buddha portrayed multiple roles: Li Lie of Yingchou Village, Lingji of the Buddhist sect, and even Guanyin.
Glancing around and finding no one else, Lin Jie did not stop to think and flashed inside.
"Then, then I will go buy some. Once my mother stir-fries them, I will share them with my classmates." The chubby student Dunzi wiped his eyes with his arm, finally stopping his tears.
Lu Qingyi gathered her courage and stepped closer. As the old man finished touching the first character and moved to the next, she saw the character "Willow," and slowly, she made out the two characters that followed.
At this moment, Chi Hua finally let out a long breath. Muling City would become the third city under the sphere of influence of the Doomsday Phoenix City.
"Old grandfather, wait! He is lying to you. The tiger liver doesn't cost anything; we can give it to you for free." Zi Feng, who was sitting beside Zi Huang, hurriedly walked to the old man's side.
"What should I do? I made him so angry just now; he must be furious." Zi Feng wanted to chase after him to apologize.
The message was from Yang Zi, and when she saw it, it was already marked as opened—which meant Luo Chenxi had also read it.
Because Yu Qing often kept an eye on Wei Cuier, He Nianqin, who guarded Yu Qing’s safety, was very familiar with her.
Zhang Linglong had secured a place in the inner palace solely through her irreplaceable abilities and this unique status.
Wang Meili’s enraged gaze turned toward the doorway, but the moment she saw Shen Nie appear, she instantly shrank back.

However, the disciples' gazes were now gradually shifting toward the high-ranking disciples on the stone pillars.
Duan Lin was very satisfied with what her maid said, her face brimming with pride, disdain for all of this, and pity for Tang Xiaoxiao.
Shen Qingyue’s eyes widened abruptly. He looked silently at Shen Qingyan beside him, using his eyes to frantically express his confusion.
She had expected to spend a long time asking Shen Nie for permission to go out, but since he was sound asleep, he would not stop her.
As the words fell, three birch trees blotted out the sky, enveloping everyone. Beneath them, the three heroes of the Birch flashed forward, attacking Gu Ke and his companion directly, not even bothering to use their famous combined formation.
The disciples of Purple Bamboo Peak were shocked to see the three of them teaming up against a single ninth-tier Spirit Gathering disciple. Even though Gu Ke was strong, was it really necessary for the three heroes of the Birch to strike together?
"Oh, perfect! Help me move these!" Nan Jingshu pointed at the boxes on the floor and began directing Yun Su and the other person.
Hearing this voice, a strange look flashed across Gu Ke’s face. How did this guy know he lived here?
This year, just like every other, every time midnight passed, the same question circled in his mind: Does Penglai Immortal Island truly exist? How much longer must he endure this life, neither human nor ghost? He couldn't help but wonder if others like him would be able to survive the night.
But most importantly... did this affair have something to do with Sun Wukong? Did Ao Bing really hear something, or was it just a dream he had after fainting?
The cry brought one of the maids sent by Marquis Fu from outside, who came in to ask what had happened.
Taking advantage of the moment, Kade cast a Breath-Holding Spell and an identical Water-Repelling Barrier on himself. He dove headfirst into the barrier, intending to exit through the opening and enter the sea.
