Chapter 60

Ignoring the alien races, Zhou Junliang instead looked at the metallic biological entities stepping out from the starlight gate.

Gradually, the King also realized the issue: with the annual tribute unpaid, the punishment of the city lords no longer held its former deterrent effect, and the mountain city was merely an experiment for the King to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys.

Of course, what they understood was merely the surface, yet undercurrents had long been surging within the imperial dynasty.

Without exception, all of them carried the shadows of the students from the classes taught by Uchiha Rin back in the ninja academy, seeming to have grown up considerably.

Mo Shouzhuo slept all the way until the巳 hour (9:00 AM to 11:00 AM) the next day. The sun was already high in the sky, and its rays pierced through the window into the room, casting mottled patches of light upon the floor.

"He wouldn't dare have the guts," Jun Chenhan said with absolute confidence. Feng Jingyue helplessly shook her head and replied, "Senior brother, why are you so confident?"

Yet, for what purpose did she deliberately conceal herself? Was it due to her nature, or did she have an ulterior motive?

"Qingyun, who is it?" Hearing the commotion outside, Jun Chenhan asked in a low, calm voice.

Moreover, Hyatt frequently and "secretly" observed Leyton, pondering in his mind how to deal with him. In his understanding, this was a "secret mission" assigned to him by the Truth Society.

One must know that the reason the Su family dared to acquire magic crystals so high-profilely across the thirty-six fortresses was largely due to Lin Yi, a super healer. He could grant their own awakened individuals superior combat effectiveness, thereby deterring those with malicious intentions.

Watching Kaelat and his group leave to walk toward the other trainees, Horley and the others sat back down.

Ye Xuanfu rolled his eyes, thinking that the fellow had knelt down before even figuring out the situation, without any fear of kneeling to the wrong person.

Although the others were not quite willing in their hearts, under these circumstances, they had no better options. They could only take things one step at a time, following the crowd first, and plotting if a good opportunity arose.

Chen An thought for a moment and decided to proceed with the original plan to take the two of them to find Feng Shaoxian, and incidentally get some money from him.

"Why wouldn't I?" Holding the Lihong Divine Sword, Zhang Li chuckled as the sword was restored to its pristine condition, its power even greater than before.

To ensure safety, Elder Black personally used a millennial peach-wood staff to draw a contract diagram on the ground, and everyone present swore an oath that they would not reveal a single word of what they learned today, or else they would be struck by lightning from the heavens.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, nodded slowly, and then began to express their respective stances.

"Brother Wan, where did you run off to? When it came to brainstorming and offering strategies, you contributed nothing, but now you pop out to stop us. What is the meaning of this?" Lian Chunqiu asked with some annoyance.

"Finally, you must live in Xiaoyao Palace for the rest of your life and never touch the outside mortal world again," Yuan Zimuo said casually.

Zhang Chu was now an anomaly among the rebel forces. While others were being chased all over Henan by Hong Chengchou, Zhang Chu was beating Hong Chengchou black and blue. While the subordinates of others suffered from hunger and cold, Zhang Chu possessed several counties of territory, leaving the government forces completely helpless.

Ruoli, who was smoothing Fuqi's fur inside the pavilion, sensed an unfamiliar aura approaching. Seeing Fuqi stir, she raised her hand and patted its head to soothe it.

The middle-aged fat man, who was still in a daze, was suddenly jolted awake by the pungent odor.

Let alone spending one's entire fortune to buy a Life-Reprieve Fruit—whether it was truly worth it required careful consideration.

Now the entire villagers were getting drenched in the heavy rain, and a flood had broken out in the village. Yet you, Butcher Zhu, locked your front door and refused to let anyone in. Even Old Good-man Quan had lost his mild temper at this moment.

The doctor said she was blessed with great fortune to have suffered no injuries after falling from such a great height; escaping a major disaster surely presaged future blessings. The doctor also instructed her to take good care of her health, noting that if she hadn't previously consumed the Heavenly Snow Lotus, the child in her womb would have been lost long ago.

Furthermore, the lower classes and soldiers would not ponder so deeply. They only thought that since they were so powerful, they could simply take the entire world, and with just a word from Tang Huang, they would undoubtedly pick up their weapons and fight wave after wave.

In fact, it wasn't just Liu Xu casting his gaze; at this moment, everyone in the audience was anxious as well. Everyone knew that China's two petroleum giants had chosen to withdraw, and the battle was now purely between Adidas and Nike.

Deeply uneasy about this situation yet entirely unable to uncover even a shred of other intelligence, they felt virtually no real sense of the crisis they were about to face.

Upon hearing her speak, Yi Xiaoyue quieted down like an exquisite porcelain doll, her eyes hollow and dazed. Hua Jia looked at her with great satisfaction, the demonic mark on her face deepening a bit more, looking exceptionally ghostly in the sunlight.

At this point, Liu Hongju lost his temper as well. Not only did the man refuse to apologize after hitting someone, but he also acted aggressively—and right on his turf.

At that moment, a middle-aged man with a bandaged arm and a pale face emerged from the back hall.

"May I ask if you all have made your decision? I need an answer from you," the envoy said, getting straight to the point.

Huang Que honestly recounted verbatim to Muyan the advice her parents had given her before she set out into the world.

Filled with surging curiosity, Ye Fan walked over. Murong Qingfeng pointed at his own ankle, and when Ye Fan focused his gaze, he saw a black strap emerging from beneath the ground, piercing straight into Murong Qingfeng's ankle and plunging back into the earth.
