However, as a result, the Celestial Dao Sect faced its first truly rapid decline in countless years.

The longer one stayed here, the more attention they attracted; thus, the moment Guo Xihao rose, he immediately told Miao Xin to leave at once.

“This is the flesh of a venomous snake! Feeding toads with this produces toad venom with excellent medicinal properties! The Tian Su Powder you applied to your wound is made from this toad venom! In the neighboring cave, snakes are raised specifically to feed this creature!” Du Zhong explained.

Although Yin Yuan was a warrior, he showed no airs; he was humble and courteous before Qin Xiao and the others, never boasting about his strength.

Before leaving the camp, Chen Kepeng deliberately sought out Zhong Nan to inform him that someone wished to see him. After confirming the identity, Zhong Nan instructed Chen Kepeng to tell the visitor that he could come directly to the Zhong residence anytime in the near future.

At the sixteenth sixty-year cycle, Qin Yibai ceased all alchemical creations. He chose to meditate quietly once again, only gently opening his eyes after the twentieth cycle had passed.

“Which camp are you from and what is your name?” Shi Changting broke the silence and asked Zhong Nan.

Seeing Zhang Ruyun genuinely angry and advancing toward her, Yu Yin, worried about the many hidden dangers caused by the earlier explosion, noticed the malicious expression on Zhang Ruyun’s face, clearly signaling a life-or-death confrontation. Though she maintained a calm exterior, her heart was filled with anxiety.

The Federal Government of China never played the victim; any progress against pirates was only briefly reported in the news, accompanied by a few brutal images and some heartrending words.

Lin Gaosuo was able to persuade the World-Exterminating God to intervene, which naturally meant he had made an agreement with the deity.

“Do you think I’m the villain? What about you? When you and your sister set the formation in Tianyou City, do you know how many lives you took?” Loki’s tone darkened.

But upon hearing the second sentence, the elderly man slightly narrowed his eyes—not in anger, but in shock, even he felt a chill.

It was precisely because of such a man that her mother left this world bitter and resentful.

Victor persisted relentlessly, attacking Loki with straightforward moves. In truth, Loki, considering Mia’s welfare, did not wish to harm Victor, but Victor’s strange tactics constantly disrupted Loki and Hei Yao’s operation of the special-type airship, and the powerful dragon breath could not be used consecutively.

The teardrop seemed finally unable to maintain its form, spontaneously entering Yu Mu’s body and transforming into a vast water spirit. It then, like a cultivator, used a similar method to completely open his water spirit meridians until it reached the same realm as the host.

Old Master Nie was deeply absorbed in the news of his grandson’s severe injury and unconsciousness when he suddenly heard Nie Tian’s voice and was momentarily stunned, not daring to look up.

After everyone left, Duncan clenched his fists, his face turning ashen, cursing Hao Jianguo repeatedly in his mind.

Two days later, the Xianbei were ready; they used oxen and horses to drag tree trunks beneath the Great Wall’s breach, intending to ram the gap with these trunks.

In the central tower’s first-floor hall, Huolian stomped angrily, while Pingze Ling remained expressionless, as if none of this concerned her. Soon after, Duncan and his group exited the elevator; he glared at them before fixing his gaze on Pingze Ling.

Outside, night had fallen. Taking advantage of the darkness, Yu Mu circled to the window of Jiang Hua’s room, from which a normal voice was heard inside.

Time ticked by bit by bit. In the darkness, Qiao Song grew increasingly desperate, unable to sense the passing of night and day or hear anyone speak. She almost believed she had been bagged and thrown into a desolate wilderness to die.

Now, this gate no longer radiated the brilliant light it once did; it was as silent and tranquil as a mournful stillness.

The two faced off for several seconds, just about to draw swords and make moves when the siren abruptly called a halt.

“Enough, enough!” Quan Su waved his hand fiercely, fleeing the restaurant as if escaping. His original intent was to spend money for some mental comfort but had not expected the restaurant owner to be so straightforward. This guy was too honest—damn! Not even able to tell a white lie, it infuriated him. He cursed the owner silently for lacking social grace.

After the meal, everyone left. The Queen Mother offered a few words of encouragement before returning to the Wang family restaurant. Business was not great, even with a fifty percent discount on the first day. Though smiling, her eyes still carried a trace of melancholy.

“Young master, the villa is all prepared.” The old butler bowed slightly, skillfully receiving the luggage from Li Chen’s hands and passing it to a nearby attendant.

Qiu Ye did not know the relationship between Bai Yu and Feng Caitian and mistakenly thought he, Liu Yihan, and Bing Lin were all friends of Feng Caitian. However, she was not entirely wrong: the three indeed came from the Feng Tian continent, and they shared a common goal—Feng Caitian.

As for Zhao Zixian, although confident in his culinary skills, he never imagined Wang Xue could not resist the temptation of delicious food. Otherwise, he would never have gone to the trouble of grilling exquisitely tasty fish for her.

“Do you have nothing else to say to me besides mentioning Xing’er?” Hong Zhou interrupted her.

Zi Yan curiously turned around. Zi Zi was already dressed; her face was slender with a pointed chin, still carrying a sly look, but transformed into a human, she appeared much more handsome, with thick eyebrows and large eyes. Though slender, she looked determined.

By the time Bai Ziming and Yao Beibei arrived at the spell practice field, most others had already gathered. The instructor was no longer the white-bearded senior who taught history but a man in his twenties sitting in the practice field’s resting room.

But Zi Yan did not know that Tuanzi had smeared a blue liquid on Yu Yuan’s eggshell, which masked the aura. Moreover, Tuanzi had swallowed a pill that concealed his own aura.

Du Meishan had originally been reluctant to let go, but seeing An Weichen’s cold gaze, she dared not act rashly and unwillingly released her grip.

Huangfu Youren and Ruo Ranran retreated, while the others had been driven away by Huangfu Yi’er. Lv Luo had to leave reluctantly to look after Tuanzi and Zi Zi, and Fat Sheep was dragged away by Lv Luo as well.

Just as Zhong Shan was about to check on his father, the hospital room door opened again. Thinking someone was causing trouble, he turned to see a middle-aged man in a white coat enter anxiously, followed by several others in white coats—the very doctors performing Zhong Liguo’s surgery.
