Volume 1, Chapter 55: Willing to Move Back to Yulong Court

Wang Jiaqiao glared, her eyes wide: "You pity her? Then who is going to pity me? Let me tell you, Zhang Zhaodi, you won't get a single cent of that money from my hands. No matter what, Liang Xiao is an outsider. Even if you spend that much money, it might not save her. Zhaodi, don't be foolish."

The latter climbed laborantly up the wall, then with a thud, sat down upon the parapet. While holding her backside, she winced and grimaced, suppressing her cries of pain while panting heavily.

The six enemy planes were successively hit by artillery fire, bursting into balls of fire in the sky. The enemy infantry on the ground were dumbfounded—could our Type 92 infantry gun positions be used this way?

He calculated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the green mist would reach Prime City in about twenty minutes.

A diamond-shaped light barrier suddenly materialized before Wang Baining, separating life and death between Rui Yun's sharp claw and Wang Baining's forehead by a mere three centimeters.

"He... truly put thought into this." Xiang Xuehai picked up the red evolutionary crystal, a warm current involuntarily surging through her heart.

Locke did not know why Old Tawad carried so many alchemical potions with him, but he kept sprinkling them over the surrounding flesh tumors. Locke then departed from the place, walking toward the location of Demetria and the others.

Compared to Lan Mei, Lu Jianyu at the side was evidently far more shocked. Just like Lan Mei, Chu Yu had once again shattered his perceptions; although he knew Chu Yu was truly powerful, he never imagined Chu Yu could be powerful to such an extent.

Looking at Telly, who appeared weak yet resolute in her gaze, Locke tightly grasped her hand. Telly did not pull away; she smiled at Locke, the pale skin on her face even showing a hint of a blush.

He also understood that when dealing with alchemists who prioritized technology, if one continuously bided their time and concealed one's abilities, it would instead provoke trouble. Only by displaying one's edge could one command respect.

Of course, Liang Yuan adopted a laissez-faire attitude toward Chu Xiu as well; as long as he did not commit any wrongdoings, she had no objections.

"Not good!" But at that exact moment, Chu Ye suddenly felt his body lose its center of gravity. It turned out that due to his excessive force just a moment ago, he had lost control, instantly sliding down toward the mountain.

Furthermore, plagued by chilling yin energy, everything he saw was terrifying, causing Lai Jingwei to suddenly become somewhat deranged and begin foaming at the mouth.

Ever since Zhang Yichao left Shazhou for Chang'an, the Return-to-Righteousness Army had suffered through several internal conflicts, its strength greatly depleted. The eleven prefectures that had originally been recovered successively fell back into the hands of the Tibetan Empire and the Uyghurs, leaving until now only a few meager prefectures such as Shazhou and Guazhou.

The grudges between Han Yunjin and Yun Yao could, upon tracing their roots, be boiled down to the lingering issues from the entanglements of Yuan Ji, Hanpo, and Yun Wuji.

Yet thinking of Mu Cheng's identity and his status within the Mu family, Zhi Yue scratched her head, feeling that this matter was rather embarrassing.

Although her own cultivation was not weak either, since there was a man she could rely on, she would not steal his thunder; otherwise, Xiao Junyan would also feel pressure.

However, her joy did not last long. When the next match began, upon seeing a certain teammate's name, her face darkened.

"It's fine! Anyone who can make it this far is a smart person and won't cause trouble. Besides, even if someone wanted to use this matter to manipulate me, it would be impossible."

"True, my father is still stationed in Zhuma City, and right now the Heavenly Dao Sect is also at a stage where it needs development, currently lacking manpower. Just happen to have two more experts return to hold down the fort," Zhou Dao said with a smile.

Just kidding, if they let the person before them leave, who knew how many more years they would have to wait for the Buddha to return to the Three Realms?

To the right, Karim, clad entirely in black armor, stood tall and imposing. His mighty and formidable aura left all the military officers in the grand hall in awe.

Facing the candlelight, the longevity lock emitted a brilliant silver glow. It did not look particularly extravagant, yet carried a reassuring weight, and Mu Yiyi knew it was a talisman of good fortune.

No wonder; Dream Group was the largest enterprise in their city or even the entire province, watched by countless eyes. If handled improperly, his career as an official would come to an end.

"Gu Yunyun, why did you lie to me?" He gripped his walking stick tightly, not having released it from the moment he entered the door.

"Young Master Hua, it seems we were too gentle in the past, making people think we are soft persimmons," Young Master Yu said gloomily, a fierce glint flashing across his eyes.

As hot-tempered and fiery as True Immortal Xuefen, having three disciples successively crippled, his lifeblood exhausted, and his lifespan nearing its end.

The imperial physician shook his head while comforting Mu Yiyi, pointing to the white cloth tightly wrapped around Mu Yiyi's hands and speaking in grave tones.

Whether in terms of strategy or loyalty, Bai Yan was the undisputed choice. The important thing was that Chen Yu remembered owing Bai Yan a meal, and this presented a prime opportunity to settle the debt all at once.

Although his words were quite hurtful, Liu Ruyue still sensed a shred of hope; as long as he was willing to let her follow, she still had a chance.

What was their need, what was it that they truly desired? Was it praise from their parents? Was it a sense of internal achievement?

The former public relations manager had already been taken away by Xi Xiangdong. Pei Xiao had not yet heard the name of the newly appointed manager, but the fact that Universal had decided to back her last time had won Xi Xiangdong's approval, with him remarking that there was an expert guiding her from behind. Hearing him bring it up again now, Pei Xiao could not help but feel curious.

"Are you talking about British pounds?" Chen Yuan asked, looking utterly astonished and practically startled out of his wits, thinking to himself that this fellow was so wildly extravagant he even outdid her.

After leaving the private room, the waiter walked straight toward the back and arrived at Wang Cheng's office. At this moment, Wang Cheng and the madam were sitting in front of the monitors, observing everything. The scene that had just unfolded had been captured clearly. "Reporting to the leader, the opponent is a martial artist with formidable strength, at least at the C-rank or above," the waiter respectfully said to the madam.

Shen Ke had lost count of how many such CT scans she had viewed; the only difference was that this time, the shadow in her brain seemed to have enlarged.

"Captain Booth, the Chinese police have arrived at the entrance, and a standoff has been formed. Over!" The walkie-talkie transmitted the report from the mercenary in charge of the first-floor blockade.

I really couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to speak up! I felt that this guy was indeed sometimes far too persistent and stubborn.

Ordinary heavenly treasures, if not refined into pills to remove impurities and harmonize their efficacy, would cause immense damage to a cultivator's body. Swallowing them raw might not only fail to boost one's cultivation realm, but instances of outright regression in cultivation were by no means unheard of.

"Why are you here again? It's too dangerous here," Granny Shen recognized her voice and reproved her with deep emotion.

The three male mentors all involuntarily looked toward Yan Yun Songzi, not expecting the very first contestant to be her hardcore fan.
