As Chen Peipei spoke, she made a snapping gesture with her hand. The threat behind it was unmistakable.

At first, Chu Chen thought it was a phoenix. But after examining it carefully, he understood that it was not a true phoenix, merely a descendant that still possessed a trace of phoenix blood. Its distant ancestor had been a phoenix.

She could understand that feeling. Building a conglomerate from nothing and watching it grow little by little was much like raising a child.

The newcomer had short brown hair, with two orange locks falling over his forehead. His hair fluttered somewhat freely in the air. His features were fairly regular, and the corners of his mouth carried a faint, vaguely roguish smile. His eyes darted about, giving him a slick and glib appearance.

Jiang Wu watched Xiao Chen’s expression change slightly and revealed a smile, seeming quite pleased with his entire plan.

These five points were Zhuang Xun’s summary of the advantages he currently possessed. As for why he had chosen to strike amid such torrential rain, it was because of his Mercury World. Merging with the Mercury World and making use of its hidden advantages was one of Zhuang Xun’s keys to victory.

Only then did Huangfu Beier remember that countless eyes were watching them. She hurriedly tried to break free from Lin Tian’ao’s embrace.

A burly black man with coarse features came down from the ship, followed by two white men.

Lu Ying’er and the man stepped forward. When the man saw Qing Ge, he flew into a rage. He could never forget how Qing Ge had humiliated him on the day of their wedding.

“I merely wish to make a deal with you. I will do my utmost to satisfy whatever you want, but I need you to serve as my agent in the mortal world. Everything I wish to accomplish there will be carried out by you on my behalf. What do you say?” the Demon Lord asked.

Ma Gang was steady by nature. Seeing Xu Ruobing standing there in a daze, he immediately offered a compromise. The important thing was that they truly could not delay any longer. Every minute they wasted increased the danger that the base on the other side would be destroyed.

Tongtong was overjoyed when she heard Su Han say that. She clapped her hands and repeatedly cheered in approval.

Apart from setting aside research funds for several locations, Zhaodi invested all the remaining money into construction projects in those places.

Charlie did not take the bait and continued to maintain an extremely wary attitude… although she herself knew that it was not of much use.

Just as Heaven-ranked weapons were essentially exclusive to Out-of-Body True Immortals, there were simply too many powerful experts in the world and too few weapons. Even Shui Dongliu did not possess a second spirit weapon, much less those experts of the Return-to-Truth Realm.

Generally speaking, this “stratagem” could not be considered particularly profound, but given the actual circumstances, it addressed the problem directly and produced fairly good results.

At that moment, Zhang Xiao saw the talking dead man’s head suddenly enveloped in a beam of golden light, after which it disintegrated into nothingness.

“Bah! Be serious. The Prison Directorate is the fairest authority of all. Don’t listen to his nonsense,” Yan Lingyu interrupted him irritably.

Link and Xiao Rang exchanged a glance and nodded at the same time. Then Du Xing, the newly appointed chief steward, led a group of people to stand guard outside the Temporal Refugee Camp. They had to make absolutely certain how many Tier-Two soldiers would appear in a day, a week, and a month.

Under such circumstances, a terrifying enormous pit came into being in the brief span of just two or three seconds.

At that moment, when Tang Yan looked at Lin Mo again, she still thought he was a complete pervert, but at least he was a talented one.

“Good heavens!” Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni exclaimed as he glanced at Aizen Sosuke, who still refused to give up.

As for Uchiha Tian’s departure, Tsunade remained deeply concerned, which led the Third Hokage to suppress her assignment.

The officers stood on the deck, waving their arms frantically and shouting commands at the top of their lungs. They were anxious and flustered.

Once Yahiko reached the level of a jonin, perhaps he would be able to raise the power of the Mighty Whirlwind fully to the level of a B-rank taijutsu technique.

A kunai appeared in Yahiko’s hand in an instant. His movement flowed as smoothly as drifting clouds and running water, completed in a single breath, and he hurled it toward Shimura Ishiki.

The pillar indicated by that sword bore a human-shaped depression sunk three inches into the stone. It was the only place in the entire hall that had not been sealed in ice.

Under a single blow from the staff, the Giant Spirit God staggered backward three or four steps in succession and nearly lost his balance and sat down on the ground.

The three of them slowly approached Uchiha Tian and raised their hands to seize his head, preparing to gouge out his eyes directly.

Xu Jin continuously toyed with several silver needles in his hand. Gu Zhebei and Dayong kept their distance from Xu Jin, deliberately or otherwise. Even if they could not be certain that this man was the pervert they were looking for, they still had to remain on guard.

“Yes, Father!” Fang Miaocai propped up her injured second sister, Fang Miaorong, and left without looking back. She understood perfectly well that remaining here would only cause trouble.

The Bloodmoon Calamity Wolf was a king among ancient demon beasts, and its majesty would never permit any other demon creature to encroach upon it.

In the eyes of cultivators, the universe was known as the Cultivation Realm, while the planets below were called the Mortal World. Yet the true Cultivation Realm lay on the Cultivation Planet. It was said to be located at the very edge of the universe, and the planet was incomparably vast. No one knew exactly how large or how expansive it truly was.

The human race had clawed its way up from a primitive and arduous beginning, enduring countless hardships and dangers. From becoming the blood-food of the myriad races to rising defiantly against Heaven, humanity, led by the Nine Human Emperors, had forged an age of incomparable glory.

When Elder Qinghua heard those four words, his entire body trembled. He abruptly turned toward the Iceheart Tea Tree beside Ling Xiao. Sensing that vast divine fluctuation, his eyes immediately filled with blazing fervor.

Although the tribes of the Southern Desert possessed routes for crossing the great wilderness, their descriptions of the distribution of the Northern Desert tribes were vague and incomplete.

While Wenren Shuo cultivated, he could not help wondering what benefits he would ultimately receive from the Chu family. High-grade pills? Countless spirit herbs? Rare cultivation techniques? Magical treasures?

In their view, the Qin army would surely arrive with the same imposing momentum as before. Once they discovered that victory was difficult and that their retreat was threatened, they would have no choice but to slink back in disgrace.

Jin Fuchen volunteered to Fan Guyi, then went to consult with the leaders of the other peaks. After a long discussion, those peak leaders finally agreed with great reluctance. Thus, the disciples of the Southern Nameless Sect also departed from the Southern Nameless Sect.
