Every few months, the Four Seas Society gave them the antidote. Each time the agents received it, they were overjoyed, knowing that their lives were safe once more.
But Li Xueyi was simply too enthusiastic. He insisted on escorting Liu Yu to Wild Goose Village and would not let him out of the car until they had reached his doorstep, leaving Liu Yu utterly helpless.
That was why Black Phantom altered his appearance before agreeing to show himself. He changed his original features into those of a bearded middle-aged man, which also suited the image of an eminent master he wished to project.
He had never dreamed that, despite sealing the cultivation of every member of Profound Rank Group Nine, he would still—
After all, Su Chen was truly no pushover. In all these years, not many people had ever managed to make Nidhogg suffer a setback, and Su Chen was one of them.
Anna had a frank and cheerful personality. She had greatly enjoyed watching Zhao Yong’s match, and that was why she had extended the invitation.
Regardless of whether Chang Mao ever came to understand, he would never allow the Chang Residence to become an obstacle to the court’s collection of commercial taxes. Nor would he stand by and watch Chang Mao make the wrong decision and drag the entire household into the abyss.
On the field, Zhao Yong decided that if his opponent attacked in the same manner during the next round, he would take the initiative and call a halt to the match.
If this continued, people from the other nations would fight desperately to repel wave after wave of attacks from the otherworldly enemies, only for those cowards to reap the rewards and seize the initiative in the real world. How could anyone tolerate that?
With a single wave of the Banana Palm Fan, a fierce wind suddenly rose from the ground. Fahai stood directly before it and had no time to dodge—but in truth, he had never intended to evade it.
With a thunderous crack, the sword’s radiance swept into the distant mountains, cleaving a ridge nearly a hundred yards high in two.
“No, no, no. If that is what you think, then you are being rather naïve.” The intelligence officer gave a mysterious smile.

Even a shameless scoundrel like Han Feng would never have dared entertain such a despicable idea. Who would have thought that the talented scholar Wu Mengru could be so amusingly depraved?
Hearing Lin Dong’s song, which sounded like an unyielding cry, Chen Lan suddenly felt a powerful resonance in her heart.
“What has he come here for at a time like this?” Yin Yingshi was already displeased when she heard that Leng Fengxuan had arrived.
“By the way, there is one more thing I need to discuss with you, Sister.” Dugu Zhishui abruptly put away his playful expression and became solemn.
When he saw that his song had entered the top twenty and was currently ranked sixteenth, a faint smile appeared at the corners of Lin Dong’s lips.
When had Dugu Zhishui ever enjoyed such treatment? For a moment, he felt extremely uncomfortable. After he had sternly refused, Wang Hanhe stopped attending to his washing and dressing over the past few days. She still insisted on cleaning Dugu Zhishui’s room every day, however. Since he had nothing shameful to hide, Dugu Zhishui simply let her do as she pleased.
“It is so late. Why are you not sleeping, and what are you doing here?” Dugu Zhishui sheathed his long sword, turned around, and sat down beside the stone table.
“Do you know what my fourth Divine Fortune Gem is called?” The sweet fragrance of cherry blossoms lingered in the air. A gentle breath brushed against his ear as Astreya leaned close to the Dead Infant’s ear and whispered.
“What?” Michelle was stunned, while Yujia also opened her eyes in surprise. That was her ability—the power of ice. She had not intended to use any force, but perhaps her subconscious will to survive had activated her defenses automatically, like the uncontrollable Rain of Weeping.
Murong Zhi took the teacup. She did not even have time to smile before gulping it down and blurting out, “Say that again.” After receiving confirmation, her entire face stiffened.
This ancient bronze bell had hung there for who knew how many years. After enduring wind and rain, the passage of the sun and moon, and the vicissitudes of time, it finally rang.
Jia Fugui, round as a ball, leapt from the back of the Scarlet Flame Tiger and landed nimbly before Huasheng.

His voice had changed. It was no longer as bright as before, nor as clear. Instead, it had become terribly hoarse.
At the thought, Lan Youming suddenly felt an uncontrollable longing for that power belonging to his father. He secretly glanced at Shirley beside him. He knew that she was not truly as happy as she appeared.
Under these circumstances, asking her questions now would clearly be inhumane. After all, she had only just lost a friend and was on the verge of collapse.
“Tang Xiao, is there any need to waste so many words on someone like that? Just kill him!” Nalan Qianqian sat beside the table, leisurely sipping hot tea.
But how could Eunuch Xu possibly be a match for the Imperial Guards? Before long, he was seized. No matter how much he wept, shouted, or protested his innocence, no one paid him any attention.
He opened his mouth and spewed out an endless torrent of seawater, extinguishing Zhurong’s Samadhi True Fire and forcing Zhurong to flee in disarray with his clansmen.
“Twelve thousand tons.” Xiong Jing remembered the figure clearly. It was precisely because their vessels lacked sufficient tonnage that they had requested naval support from the states of Zhao and Qi, allowing those two states to profit enormously—Qi in particular.
If you still do not understand how terrifying this form of punishment is, go and take a look at the patients in a psychiatric hospital. No matter how violently those patients may act during an episode, after undergoing electroshock treatment, they all become dull-eyed and wooden, no longer daring to resist. That alone shows how powerful its control over the brain is.
Although his caravan would have to shed some blood along the way, all in all, the journey remained smooth and unobstructed.
