But none of these things meant much to Liu Tian. Besides, they seemed to have misunderstood something: they had overestimated his strength while failing to understand just how weak they themselves were.

By Eastern Tang’s standards, the defenses here were not exactly weak. However, with no wars for so many years, the soldiers had little experience of true, blood-soaked combat.

Jiang Chen coldly put the antidote back into his robes. He then stood aside and delivered a few sarcastic remarks, infuriating Shen Yan so badly that she spat out a mouthful of black blood.

With footsteps swift as the wind, Shen Wansan hurried away, afraid that if he stayed another moment, he would lose his temper.

“Of course I have no objection! Besides, your mother is the head of our household now. To me, whatever Eri says is an imperial decree.”

“Tomorrow? I doubt you’ll even be able to come up with ten thousand yuan by tomorrow.” Wu Qiulan’s face was full of scorn, and she did not even spare Luo Feng a glance.

Ever since obtaining the aura of Geng Metal, Lin Yan had successfully condensed a blade embryo, but his use of it remained rather shallow.

They found a restaurant near the hotel and ordered several dishes. Zhao Zhibao even made Qiu Lianhua eat less; most of the food was consumed by Zhao Zhibao himself.

Yan Fengwei was extremely displeased with Jiang Chen. However, Jiang Chen seemed to be an old acquaintance of the renowned collector Hong Guijie, and Yan Fengwei could not determine what sort of relationship the two shared.

The same could not be said for the messengers and scouts. They did not know what Yu Jin was thinking, nor did they care what Gao Shun intended. Their duty in guarding the valley was simply to inform Yu Jin, stationed in the camp below the mountain, the moment they spotted the enemy.

Hong Tian could not help muttering to himself. At the same time, the space around him began to shift. As time and space transformed, stars, yin and yang, the five elements, and all phenomena appeared within it. In the end, everything became a world of its own, and with a wave of his hand, profound principles revealed themselves.

As it turned out, Li Jianglong’s words had truly struck the heart of the matter. Chen Yi greatly enjoyed the atmosphere at school. Taking leave every few days really was not ideal—and who knew how long this trip to Changbai Mountain would last?

Not long ago, Chen Yi had formally begun passing through the ninth heavenly tribulation. Although he had prepared for it long ago and knew how dangerous it would be, only when the lightning tribulation truly descended did he realize that he had still thought things far too simply.

Bai Shengju and the others stared at Chen Yi without blinking. Their understanding of his strength had been based entirely on their own guesses, and they had never received confirmation. Now, they had been presented with an excellent opportunity.

Of course, all this depended on He Zheng not having clearly explained his present circumstances to them. He was not begging those people to come. Yet, because of their past relationship, he could not completely forget them either. Instead, he was giving them a chance to make their own choice.

It was not difficult to see that although Liang Yunmiao was doing everything in his power to urge it on, the true source of its combat strength was the Profound Heaven Seal itself.

The tiled wall of the restroom shifted. A grating series of clicks rang out, and the wall slowly split apart down the middle, forming a small door.

Yan Bei did not know how far it was from Long Pass to Jincheng by the route of an army. He had never been to Liangzhou. But after commanding troops in the field for many years, he understood Ma Chao’s strategic objective: to punch straight through every defensive position of Han Sui’s army and seize Jincheng. To lose at the final step was no disgrace.

“Brother, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.” Shen Weilai approached affectionately and slipped her arm through Shen Lingyu’s.

Halfway through her sentence, Catherine suddenly realized that her words could be interpreted ambiguously. She immediately corrected herself. She did not even know what had come over her. Could it really be because she so rarely spoke with men in such a relaxed manner that she was unusually “lively” today?

You Naijiang had an even stronger urge to slap himself. He was now utterly consumed by regret. Why had he brought that fellow up for no reason?

“I don’t know. Someone like Sheng Shi is probably difficult to sum up.” Lu Meiyan spoke uncertainly.

“Thank you for your trouble, General!” Guo Jing put on a helpless expression and allowed two martial artists to support him as they left.

The reason the royal family of the Barbarian Race had not been wiped out was that its enormous population, along with its unique systems of supervision and competition, had prevented such an outcome.

Once all concrete traces had been lost, capturing someone like Adelaide would be impossible unless he revealed himself. Otherwise, just as Hai had said back then, it was inevitable that he would appear somewhere—anywhere.

The deputy captain felt that he had indeed turned the steering wheel halfway. As for whether he had managed to evade the limousine that had locked onto them ahead, even he was not certain.

Qian Mi was one of the devotees! However, for many reasons, Qian Mi could not say much. Moreover, he could not receive them publicly in the name of Gu Yi’s subordinate; he could only do so under the title of Deputy Hall Master of the Righteous Qi Hall.

The quantity of gemstones Yang Yong produced was enormous—both in number and in overall volume. Most of them were colored diamonds, all exceptionally rare, with flawless hues and fortunes in value.

Her restless heart gradually settled. As long as she drew near Ye Chen, she felt an overwhelming sense of security.

At that moment, a vortex shimmering with chaotic light formed before Shindai Rio, who was possessed by the Abyss. The Snake-Headed Hellhound and the Rock Trooper transformed into two streaks of light and were drawn inside.

After all, Ou Jiao had run away from home. When she saw Ou Jun and the others, she immediately felt guilty, lowering her head and not daring to answer.

“Second Senior Brother Li, I have someone back home... No, it is more than that. I have a fiancé back home.” Xia Chuyi decided to speak frankly with Li Mingzhi.

There was Fang Yang, the son of Second Master Fang of the Fang family; Wei Jun, the grandson of Wei Bancheng; and even Lü Qin, the nephew of Lü Fangjing, rumored to be the richest man in Nanhua.

Suixin’s judgment had been somewhat off. There were no fewer people buying fish today—in fact, there were even more. Suixin believed it might be because everyone wanted to celebrate the successful completion of the double harvest and thank the hired laborers. The farming families who had hired help therefore wanted to treat everyone to one final good meal, which was why more people had come to buy fish.

Clearly, by this point, Cheng Yudie understood the difference in strength between them. If she did not unleash her martial soul, she estimated that she would suffer a humiliating defeat.
