After the roar, a flaming tiger lunged out from Su Yi's direction and charged straight at Fan Xiang. It tore apart the countless stone vines blocking its path, intent on ripping Fan Xiang to pieces.

Having spoken, King Shangmu immediately launched into battle. His enormous body trembled violently in midair, sending dry leaves and splinters of deadwood cascading down.

Qinji finally felt relieved. No wonder Zete had once treated Hyria with such hostility. It seemed that everything happening at this time had caused the Zete of later years to harbor misunderstandings about Hyria. But by the time those misunderstandings were cleared up... everything was already too late.

The wait stretched on for quite some time. Under normal circumstances, Yu Zhijie would have returned in time for lunch, but at noon Zhang Zhicheng arrived instead with news: the regular court session at the Purple Star Hall had yet to end. The emperor and the senior ministers of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers were apparently deliberating some major matter.

The place reached through Distant Passage, where intruders had entered, was actually a secret and heavily guarded site. To be honest, it was a secret residence privately built by Tisa, one of the four holy monks of the Prison-Void Sect in the Western Regions. Without his special order, no one was permitted to enter or leave.

Add higher ranks? Why? In the nearly thousand years since the Adventurers' Guild was founded, the adventurer ranking system had scarcely changed. Why was it suddenly necessary to add higher levels now?

Jiang Anyi's heart had been torn into a sieve by Anniang's words. The pain was so extreme that he seemed to have forgotten even how to grieve. He clenched both hands with all his strength, and the wine cup shattered under the pressure, crumbling into dust.

Tang Daoyuan pointed toward the sky. Through the dark shadow, the stone pillar that seemed to support the heavens was clearly no ordinary pillar. Though it was made entirely of stone, it radiated an immortal aura, and strange arcane arts shimmered above it.

“What are we supposed to do? Staying means death, and fleeing means death. No matter what we do, we die.” One of the caravan bosses spoke in despair.

Seeing Cheng Ying's condition deteriorate by the minute, Leng Yixiu had no choice but to take out his phone and call the president of St. Virtue Hospital. The big boss had issued the order personally, so the hospital president naturally did not dare delay for even half a moment and immediately sent someone over.

Yang Cheng gave a light cough. “Mother, the prince has been injured...” Le Youyou presented Yang Cheng with tea in both hands, then casually glanced through the window at the carriage behind them. She could see only the fine horses and had no way of knowing what condition Ye Yan was in inside the carriage.

Billing position was always the thing celebrities cared about most when judging how famous they were and how great their status was. First billing meant the lead actor, second billing meant the second lead, and so on.

Ye Anhao cast him a suspicious sidelong glance, then forcefully slapped his hand away. Since the man had voluntarily handed her his phone and told her to call the police, it meant that he was not afraid of her doing so and was confident he could settle the matter. If that was the case, why should she waste her effort?

Mentioning Wang Huijuan, Kang Hua could not help thinking of Zheng Xichen again. Five years had already passed, yet there was still no word from her. Was she not planning to come back?

All these years, she had resented Huo Yunzheng, hated him, and blamed him for leaving without a word.

Only then did Sun Baiyan repeat the advice Quan Guo had given him, his face filled with embarrassment.

Ouyang Xintong had not even had time to react before he saw Shen Juntuo standing sideways in front of him. Shen Juntuo was carrying Lin Xiaoxiao in his arms, and the sight left Ouyang Xintong utterly puzzled. Still, opening the door came first. He asked no questions, simply took out the room card and unlocked it. Shen Juntuo pushed the door open and carried Lin Xiaoxiao inside, placing her on the bed.

“Xiaoyin, are you going to school? It happens to be on my way. Shall I give you a ride?” Shen Xiu approached from behind, car keys in hand.

He had assumed that the fellow was still entangled with Chen Lu, but one glance left him astonished: the username of this chat account was completely unfamiliar. He thought for a long while, yet could not summon the slightest recollection.

“I know Big Brother Xiang isn't that kind of person!” Tang Weiwei raised her head. Her beautiful eyes, as lovely as a painting, gazed earnestly at Xiang Yang as she spoke with conviction.

Inside the black-canopied boat, a table stood at the front with two chairs placed side by side. Yuanyuan and Zhengzheng sat upright upon them, listening very seriously as Yuyan gave her lesson.

Ye Tan's words left Kong Yingda stunned. In the past, people had indeed cared about such things. But if you belonged to a powerful family, you would talk about principles whenever it benefited you; when things did not go your way, however, you simply abandoned them. Such people did not care about principles at all.

As he spoke, the tall monk swung the staff in his hands, much like the sweeping strike known as “Sweep Across a Thousand Armies,” attacking Yuyan's legs. Wang Zhuo leaped into the air at the same time and sent a flying kick toward her back.

Dai Zhou had originally kept him company and eaten a little as well. But when he saw that Li Daozong had said he would not eat, Dai Zhou felt too embarrassed to continue and could only watch Ye Tan eat.

Odin glanced toward the doorway. Richard's concealment had been flawless, but Valhalla was her domain. She could sense every soul within it.

Sure enough, the rustling sounds kept drawing closer. Before long, two beams of gloomy light, each as large as a lantern, appeared in the distance. They were green, yet carried a trace of chill. Only after examining them carefully could one make out that they were the eyes of two beasts.

“Fina.” Menia stared at Fina's sorrowful eyes in silence for a long time. Richard caught a fleeting hesitation in Menia's swollen eyes, but in the end, a merciless tear slid down her cheek.

It was only a single word, yet the voice was like a secluded spring in an empty valley, striking Han You in the heart. Astonishment flashed briefly through his eyes, and the words that had reached his lips came to an unusually sudden halt.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to brighten, the Void Spirit Vessel came to a steady stop at the border of Zhao. Ji Mo's vision was dark, and only after a long while did he regain his composure and look toward the ground, his ten fingers gripping the railing tightly.

Chen Xiao had sabotaged the Yun family's plans time and again, even reaching the point where he could threaten them. Naturally, they could not possibly let him off so easily.
