Chapter 48
Of course, they would also "accidentally" encounter some treasures coming into the world. However, these treasures naturally lacked any spiritual essence. The eight magical treasures that so many of them were fighting over earlier were not spiritual at all; they were simply tampered with by Li Zhi beforehand, leading people to mistakenly believe they possessed spiritual power.
This single spear strike, swallowing the heavens and earth with majestic momentum, completely overwhelmed the force of Wang Yuan's Sky-Shattering Thunder.
Under the hazy moonlight, an ancient courtyard loomed ahead, featuring a remarkably plain gate with a stele erected at the entrance.
However, after taking them frequently, the effects were no longer as pronounced. By the time Qin Jing consumed his seventh gram of magical shark fin, he felt nothing at all on his body, not even a single trace of impurity being expelled. Refusing to give up, he took another gram, but this time he didn't even break a sweat; he merely felt a warm sensation inside his body accompanied by a slight increase in spiritual power.
Zhou Shufen and Li Guohua's group of four were already locked in a fierce and inextricable battle—how could they possibly listen to any persuasion?
"Whether you are willing or not, once this war breaks out, you will automatically be classified into the Ye family faction," Ye Qingling shrugged.
Since the idea of letting the young samurai lead them to their base camp in order to wildly harvest the spoils of war had fallen through, keeping this young samurai alive served no further purpose.
If Immortal Chen were still conscious, he would surely tell Long Ji that while he did fear death, this level of attack was simply looking down on him far too much.
"Then can I ask my master for a re... reward?" Jian Yuling blinked, looking rather nervous. To speak in such a manner to someone she called master, Jian Yuling was certainly very bold.
Yet, this method was indeed feasible. If it succeeded, given Erlang Shen's deep affection for his sister, it would mean an irreconcilable blood feud with Buddhism.
Filled with guilt, Su Weiyun actually didn't dare tell the Tang woman that it was the Tang family who kept sending letters forbidding her from returning, under the guise of letting her live a good life with him.
Though the naked eye could not see that many starships, the friend-or-foe identification system indicated the coordinates of every single allied vessel. The sight of over eight hundred warships launching a simultaneous assault set Qin Hu's blood boiling. Without the slightest hesitation, he issued an order for the Changge to also enter faster-than-light speed, joining the ranks of the expedition against the enemy.
"Oh!" Baozi exclaimed with emotion, marveling that he could still witness something like tears. When was the last time he had seen them? Two hundred years ago? Baozi patted his head, trying hard to recall.
The hearts of Qin Hu and the others leaped into their throats instantly, but unexpectedly Yun Yue suddenly ceased fire, retracting all gun turrets back underground. The heavy sluice gates closed and locked layer by layer, firmly protecting the turrets and various facilities deep beneath the ground.
This mountain stronghold was perched on the sheer precipice at the entrance of the canyon, making it one of the rare villages in Cathay built entirely upon a cliffside.
Han Feng and Wang Yingyu sat inside the Unimog RV, eating a meal while chatting about the development of the Apocalypse organization.
"Young Master Yun..." Han Fen began awkwardly, always feeling that Yun Zhongqing's gaze toward him was somewhat strange.
"Do I look convincing?!" Que'er's mouth pressed tightly against Lin Jianqiu's ear, looking immensely proud.
"I am destined to fight against him, and against all of them. What, do you have your own thoughts?" Gegela looked at the old man.
"Today, Chun'er came to me to claim credit, saying you dropped an item in the palace courtyard, and it was thanks to her picking it up for you, otherwise it surely would have been lost. She kept clamoring for me to reward her with something; this girl is truly mischievous, hehe!" Yin Xue gave a soft, casual laugh and spoke.
"Er... Actually, it's..." Xia Yuhe recounted what Qin Yilong had told him, but Huang Wanying showed no sign of surprise whatsoever. Instead, she asked, "You only know this now?" Hearing that question, Xia Yuhe was shocked—could it be that he was the last person to know?
"If that's the case, it seems someone even more troublesome than the Fang family has arrived. When will I ever be able to control the entire Falling Moon City?" At that moment, the City Lord paced back and forth, muttering to himself.
Qiao Zhi lay prone on the bed, drifting off to sleep as his thoughts wandered. His body was already frail, compounded by the physical exertion and pain during treatment, making his current exhaustion all the more pronounced.
If this assassin hadn't genuinely been formidable with quite decent skills, the jujutsu practitioner might not have been able to resist personally stepping up to eliminate him. Because of the assassin's guarantees, he had caused his mercenary group and the people of Tianyun to suffer a disastrous counterattack, resulting in massive losses for the mercenary group. How was he supposed to handle this?
A malicious monster like Granny Rong, who sought to usurp the bodies of her own kin, was merely a scourge upon the mortal world if left alive.
"Brother Zhao, hold on to these first. Feilong, let's go meet that gang leader and see what kind of person he is, daring to stand up for the common folk and offend other factions," Wang Qiyang said to Feilong, having already stepped out of the courtyard with his front foot.
By afternoon, Shan Xiong directly purchased ready-made tools according to Wang Qiyang's instructions and expressed his gratitude to the sentry captain. After delivering the tools to the new residence, he returned to the large courtyard. Wang Qiyang and Shan Xiong then began installing the radiators. After busy work spanning the entire afternoon, they finally completed all the tasks.
At this moment, the barrier within a radius of dozens of kilometers around the teleportation array had shattered. A glance made it feel akin to a massive breach in a dam, while the spiritual energy surging from the Central Domain poured torrentially into the Northern Domain like a violent flood.
Bai Jie looked at the construction blueprint in speechlessness, patted his head in distress, and reopened the temporarily closed faction channel. At once, a wave of boisterous commotion washed over from the channel. The entire public frequency of the faction channel was filled with nothing but cheers and shouts.
The moment that talisman was pasted slightly above the center of my eyebrows, a sensation of icy coolness instantly surged from the top of my head and poured straight into my eyes.
The children of the workers and guards needed schooling; this was a benefit she granted everyone after becoming the Lord of Chu'an. Though called a benefit, it was actually a mandatory regulation.
Especially under the present circumstances, I had actually brought the complete skeleton of my past life here to break that "Two-Lifetimes Curse."
Watching those dozen-odd dogs collapse weakly to the ground, twitching continuously a few times before falling utterly still, I felt a deep sense of shock.
At least until the entire nation possessed the capability to strike back and made sufficient preparations, they intended to gradually make this fact public.
The Thunderbird House she had previously belonged to was Ilvermorny's most popular house—a free-spirited academy enthusiastic about welcoming adventurers.
If he continued to refine pills with an iron cauldron, he would certainly waste all these herbs in vain. Even if the Foundation Establishment Pills could be successfully formed, their quality would be abysmal.
A qualified assistant should listen to the boss and extrapolate sufficiently from the boss's words.
His ancestors had first gone to Singapore to pan for gold, then drifted further after meeting his mother, and ultimately rose to prominence in Shanghai through commerce.
