The once-silent ruins seemed to respond to Lianyi’s sobbing. A gust of wind howled through, eerie and chilling.

Yan Lingyu had decided on a whim just moments ago that he would pay Niu Bo a visit—yes, he would go see him right now.

Qingshan felt a pang of frustration. He had not expected his very first counter-terrorism rescue mission to end in failure.

Qing Silang was his own flesh and blood, and Miss Qing was his first child. As an elder brother, Qing Erlang was naturally overjoyed; even though the child was not born of his wife, he was genuinely happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart.

However, did one really think the Right Chancellor was oblivious to everything? It was simply that his heart was devoted to Dongliang, and he could not bear to watch the Emperor of Dongliang continue to make one mistake after another for the sake of his own selfish interests.

"Then we shall meet again another time. Lieutenant Colonel Li Xiaoyao, please see Mr. Wellington Koo out for me." Jin Tian gestured politely, respectfully ushering the Diplomatic Minister of the Nationalist Government away.

When the late Emperor learned of it, he was struck with fury, and it was precisely because of this that the laws were amended to be so severe.

Zhu Quan was completely unaware that his close friend, Duke of Cao Li Jinglong, had categorized him alongside the likes of the notorious Gao Yanei. Hearing footsteps, he turned his head with a flicker of curiosity.

Looking at the ashen face of Black Fiend before him, Qingshan felt baffled. Had he misunderstood something?

Hearing this, Zhu Biao looked up toward the two groups of troops in the distance. Seeing no further glint of weapons, he felt relieved and turned to walk back to Zhu Yuanzhang’s side.

"You went to the rehabilitation center today." Duan Wei ignored Su Ruobing’s defense entirely, continuing to speak quietly to himself.

Jiang Chuchu and Lin Xuan turned their heads simultaneously to see a black Mercedes parked by the roadside. The window rolled down, and a young face peered out.

Ultimately, Chen Yu’s plan was quite simple. First, Chu Mengyao would use the influence of her family to make contact with Chen Xue. Then, they would create an opportunity for Chen Yu to approach her, at which point he would explain everything clearly.

As expected, a gruesome car accident involving three large trucks had occurred at the next bend.

Yun Ning seemed long accustomed to such stares. Her expression remained unruffled; she casually smoothed her hair, looked ahead, and ceased engaging with anyone.

"Come to think of it, I should thank you." Lin Feiyu said calmly, watching as Duan Jun lunged at him once more with his spear.

"Master, what are Qi Essence Masters and Artifact Refiners?" Chen Ke had no concept of these unfamiliar terms, and neither did the other six disciples.

With a word of thanks, Ye Fan did not know what else to say. Ever since he had been pulled into the bronze coffin, he had kept in mind every instance of Song You’s help. If not for that, did one really think a mere empty promise could secure the Essence of All-Mother Qi from his hands?

The man was sharp; his sword had already been quietly drawn from its scabbard. The Heaven Wolf Guards and Flying Eagle Guards were personal elite units under the Emperor of Great Sui, and they were truly lawless. Even if they killed someone in the capital, they could easily smooth the matter over; they were the symbol of the Emperor’s supreme authority and his secret weapon.

He had set his sights on the Giant Spirit God and had even sworn an oath of brotherhood with him. The Giant Spirit God’s strength was greater than his own, which won his deep respect.

As they pondered, they eventually stopped thinking about it, for this was not something they needed to consider at the moment.

The river route was manageable. With local fishermen who made their living on these waters, it posed no problem for Xiao Tie and his two companions. In fact, the scenery along the way was a feast for their eyes.

However, since the High Command had made its decision, they had no choice but to prepare to defend Kiev to the death. Even if the city were to fall in the end, they had to drag it out for a time to exhaust more of the German forces.

Although Master A-Cai thought this to himself, he said nothing aloud. He watched the scorpions in silence. As to whether he could truly obtain the so-called pearl and be freed from this place, we shall leave that aside for now and turn our attention elsewhere.

While he was speaking with the Colonel, Mussolini’s motorcade was already on its way back to the Palazzo Venezia. It would not be long before the bomber squadron that had just taken off would appear directly above the beloved leader.

The Profound Light Pellet was deflected by his punch, crashing into a nearby pillar. With an explosion, the thick pillar came crashing down.

"What? You destroyed my construction system? Impossible! How could you destroy the system? Haotian, I don’t believe it, I absolutely don't believe it!" Wu Gang roared.

Although Sword Hero had never seen what the mutated Black Mountain Demon looked like now, the performance of this mutated demon, which he had captured by chance five hundred years ago, truly astonished him.

"You have a lot of nerve. Let me test you first to see how much weight you actually carry, or if you’re just putting on a show." Cong Feng sneered. He tore at the air with both hands, and space began to shatter rapidly, the destruction extending toward the old man, with terrifying fluctuations rippling in every direction.

Consequently, nearly a hundred swordsmen and pet-less knights immediately positioned themselves on the right flank of the Sword Alliance team, standing ready for battle.

It was not only Zhao Yan and his group who were surprised; Omako’s eyes widened, as this was completely beyond his expectations. Having always acted alone, he had never expected to be bound by such competition rules this time.

Walking out of the door, Simon shook his head and laughed, secretly feeling fortunate that he hadn't died when he fell into the sea, and that he had encountered Kami and the others.
