In the Celestial Realm, there was a place of absolute peril, a frozen wasteland stretching for ten thousand miles. Chongyangzi said that Shen Jun had fallen from here. Looking down, one could see only an endless expanse of white. All anyone knew was that whoever fell would certainly be smashed to pieces.
Ye Fu smiled gently at Xue’er, then placed a hand on Qi Ming’s shoulder. The two vanished without a trace.
The filthy old man hurriedly stopped Ye Shaoxuan. “The price is negotiable. One stalk of spirit herb is already a friends-and-family rate. Besides, one stalk isn’t expensive. Don’t you have five large chests? Just give me four of them.” The filthy old man rubbed his hands together, his eyes fixed greedily on the five chests.
Holding the wolf with one claw proved extremely difficult. Iron Leopard’s body shuddered, and he let out a loud fart. The wolf fell.
At the beginning of the fifth lunar month, after the Song army’s left-wing forces had briefly reorganized at Xiuzhou, they gathered the auxiliary troops from various parts of Chongde who had come to reinforce them. Fifteen hundred thousand soldiers in all launched a counterattack against the rebels within Hangzhou Prefecture.
“Of course I’m renting it to Lord Li’s friend. I’ll lower the rent by another hundred thousand. Manager Cui, will that satisfy you?” the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
His mind was unsettled, his blood and vital energy sluggish. He stumbled, and his disguise as Shenxing Wuji shattered, sending him tumbling down the mountain. After rolling helplessly for several turns, Shenxing Wuji shook his head, covered in dust, and glared fixedly ahead. He truly felt like slapping himself.
At six in the evening, I arrived at Chen Qian’s villa on time. This time I had not driven; I had walked. I had no intention of taking all those pointless detours like I had a few days earlier.
Po Li Kuo was Yelü Dashi’s trusted general, while Yelü Aguzhe was Xiao Gan’s favorite commander. Each man sent a trusted subordinate to guard the northern bank, both to restrain one another and to prevent unrest.
What left Ye Shaoxuan utterly speechless was that the four men had bunched together and were fleeing in the same direction. With a bang, Ye Shaoxuan unleashed a circle of astral wind, blasting the four worthless fools into scraps.
At that moment, Qu Jing also walked over. “Liu Qiang, don’t act recklessly. The chief merely has some misunderstanding with Lord Yu. Once they explain everything face-to-face, it will be fine. Lord Yu has shown great kindness to all of us in the Li family. If he had not held back the government troops just now, how could any of us brothers still be alive here?”
Yuan Da continued practicing, working on evasive flight while moving at accelerated speed. On the other side, Ling Guang had actually awakened long ago, but he had no intention of stopping Yuan Da. Instead, he simply watched the spectacle unfold.
“Not bad... The fact that it can release divine power means it is very likely the remains of some divine beast. As for which divine beast, I have no way of knowing.” Anqi sounded somewhat astonished.
When Yu Ren saw that Zhao Rui had merely lowered her head and sat on the wooden stool beside the bed after he pushed her away, a trace of guilt arose in his heart.

He Meng realized that she had not seen Jiang Danyun for many days and found that she truly missed her, so she dialed her number.
However, after being stung by the poisonous bees, some people suffered from severe allergic reactions. Before they realized what was happening, they were stung so badly that they either sustained serious injuries or died. Yang Bin then watched his examination score begin to drop.
Pure white elemental power burst from the Sword of Pursuing Darkness and pierced directly into a certain point in the wall. The elemental power exploded within it, blasting the entire wall apart.
Li Xiaofan flushed faintly. It was not that he had become strange; rather, she had turned into the Matchmaker, hadn’t she?
The wind grew stronger and stronger until it was practically a typhoon. Yet aside from ruffling my clothes, it could not move me in the slightest.
At last, after finding the place near his chest where the circulation of his route had gone wrong, Xie Yeyu began his second attempt.
Although an energy-transformed body could eliminate every vital weakness, reconstructing the body consumed a tremendous amount of one’s life force. Stephen had not yet reached the realm where he could reassemble himself after being scattered, so he was somewhat weak at present.
When He Fei heard Su Han say that, he immediately grew enthusiastic. “Reporter Su, as long as you agree, that’s all that matters. We’ll find a way to handle everything else.”
On the one hand, the Formless Sword Academy had always lacked talent in generating wealth and managing finances. It also had no genius like Zhao Chenlu, who could turn stone into gold. As a result, its income had remained largely unchanged for several thousand years, with no major breakthroughs. Its expenditures, however, often came as a surprise to others.
By the time the black-robed man came to his senses, Meng Liyu had already swung her hand and slapped him hard across the other cheek. Two palm prints now stood out on his entire face, which had swollen even more.
Yang Wei said, “Actually, that isn’t quite right. Strictly speaking, the profits are split fifty-fifty in the later stages. My share is only slightly higher—just a little.”
The Extraterrestrial Divine Sword acted with remarkable efficiency. After receiving confirmation of the information from Zhao Chenlu, it immediately set out to provide assistance.
This was a young man of about twenty-five. His appearance was ordinary, yet he emanated an aura that made people instinctively want to submit.
This was not nearly as safe or simple as one might imagine. On the contrary, using the Light of Temptation to lure insectoid larvae was an extremely dangerous undertaking.

The world of beds was dazzling and colorful. The hellish demons harmed one another while cursing each other, going out during the day to bully others and releasing all kinds of beasts outside people’s doors at night to keep them from sleeping.
Rain struck the windshield before the car, while the wipers swept across the glass. The view from inside the vehicle could never match the openness of riding an electric scooter.
The wind of summer, the wind of autumn, the wind of winter, the wind of spring, the raging wind, the foul wind—this world held so many kinds of wind. Transform any one of them at will, and it became nothingness.
Just then, Xiang Zhi’s deep gaze suddenly drifted toward a certain direction, carrying even a hint of tender affection.
Why not kill all three in one string? Because once the three Asuras were dead, this ghastly game would end. Fang Xiao had not yet obtained the Youth Pill—how could he possibly let the game end? He would kill two first, reduce the danger of being hunted, and then slowly find a way to obtain the Youth Pill.
“Ah, Xuxian is helpless!” Moli surveyed everyone present, her face filled with bewilderment. With indescribable distress, she raised her head to the heavens and let out a long sigh.
Of course, he had never imagined that the cultivation methods Chen Hai had compiled could compare with the foundations accumulated by other factions.
Chen Hai’s thoughts raced. If his speed could not keep up, everything would be futile. He immediately formed a hand seal and cast a Spirit-Escape Mudra upon himself.
Pan Weiliang’s face was unnaturally pale. She had never expected that the matter would end in a complete breakdown with Shen Mo, much less in such a violent manner.
“Good! I’ll go back and ask my younger sister. The imperial court should also send aid to the Retired Emperor. Yingzong is your son and my nephew. I miss him very much,” Wu Yinqin said ingratiatingly.
