As it turned out, Han Lei and her entourage still dragged their feet until nearly midday before finally setting off back to the capital.

Before dawn, well before the farmers reached the wasteland, Han Lei had Zhao Zun lead all his personal guards and wounded soldiers to construct a sturdy large enclosure using bamboo and round logs on the wasteland.

Then, she purchased one hundred sows and fifty boars from the system, along with three hundred and fifty medium-sized piglets and adult pigs, placing them all inside the fence, bringing the total to five hundred pigs.

Old Chen usually drove within the city limits, and it was only on the previous occasion when a family needed a ride and a rather handsome young man offered a very generous fare that he had made a trip out of town.

At last, the incantation ended, and the man picked up an exquisite crystal goblet, pouring the liquid inside over the candle.

Ten baron-level fireballs bombarded Ed in a blanket pattern. If this wave of fireballs hit Ed, his squire-level magic robe would certainly not be able to withstand it.

However, Yang Jingling was different. Others might not know, but as the Second Elder of the Danyang Sect, how could he possibly not know?

Could this even happen... Li Longji marveled that an elder brother was truly an elder brother, and hastily followed along with his brothers to the very center of the circle, where he indeed saw a troupe of acrobats, yet it was genuinely a martial arts performance... or perhaps a real duel.

To continue the standoff was undoubtedly the most disadvantageous situation. To attack? In the face of the Death God's Soul Guidance Device's defense, they were completely helpless, not to mention suffering heavy losses; whether they could charge through afterwards remained an unknown. Once the losses were too heavy, what would they have left to contend with the Sun and Moon Empire in the future?

Brother Zhang wanted to say something else, but at that moment, Stone turned around and walked straight out of the mountain gate, arrived at the Xuantian Plaza, and headed directly towards the Myriad Bamboo Peak.

Seated in the VIP seat of honor at box number seventy-two was precisely the President Zhang arranged by Mo Youqi. President Zhang was named Zhang Mingqing, and he was the head of Mingqing Pharmaceutical Company.

Knowing that Chen Hao was an ordinary person and not a profound master, in his eyes, Chen Hao had no right to speak at all.

After all, a master was still a master. With just a few understated words, he could easily drive a wedge into the seemingly intimate yet fragile relationship between him and the Crown Prince, making them clearly realize that they meant little to one another. But it did not matter; he had never intended to have any genuine affection for his lord anyway—he was merely a stepping stone for his own ascent.

Khadgar had arrived before Outland was shattered; having lived through that catastrophe, he understood the situation here better than anyone else.

He gripped the oar in his hand and lashed it fiercely at his opponent, while the Soul-Detaining Bell launched its attack at the same exact moment.

Furthermore, the Nurarihyon was still utterly astonished. To put it simply, what the Nurarihyon practiced was the Void Strike; the very first strike emerging from the void was simply invincible. Moreover, the violet-gleaming sharp blade it wielded was called the Armor-Breaker Divine Saber, a truly terrifying weapon.

The Heaven-Overturning Oar failed to strike the brother and sister; it seemed to have hit something hard, and a massive rebound force traveled back along the oar. His chest shook violently, and he could not help but stumble back several steps, a metallic taste rising in his throat, though he managed to swallow it down by force.

Xiang Yunlu was somewhat surprised. He had thought Ah Jiao was a scheming little darling, but since it wasn't her, it had to be Chufu.

He thought these two NPCs would feel ashamed and reflective after hearing his words, but he had underestimated the deeply ingrained programming of these AI.

Thalson wanted to break free from the cage created by the fire elements; he had tried using a disjunction spell to snap the bonds, but he failed. The flames closed in step by step, cutting off all his avenues of retreat.

They sent Bai Meiling home, but Hu Yao stubbornly clung to the car and refused to step down, terrified that once she crossed the threshold, she would become her grandmother's slave, having to wait for Liu Wanqing to rescue her.

An extremely sharp dagger emerged from beneath the quilt, stabbing toward him with blinding speed. At the same time, Jiang Lei wore a sinister grin, a ghastly and terrifying aura emanating from his body.

Ye Qingqiao led Liu Wuxie to the very end of the queue. It appeared the Ghost Doctor's speed in seeing patients was average; the waiting line moved at a glacial pace, taking half a quarter of an hour just to take a single step forward.
