His heart felt as though a piece had been hollowed out. There was no joy in this massive victory, nor any thrill of finally seeing the clouds part to reveal the bright moon or rising above the common crowd. Instead, his mind kept wandering back to the difficult days of fleeing as refugees with his younger sister and Miaomiao.
After three full charges, the death toll on the opposing side had exceeded two thousand, with countless more wounded. Under normal circumstances, a battle under such conditions would no longer need to be fought. Yet, the siege engines continuously being constructed within the enemy's encampment told Flora that they seemed to be waiting precisely for that moment of assault.
"Then Eldest Sister, why do you still want to pull her into Wang Zihao's circle? Aren't you afraid she'll usurp our status?" Yang Mei asked with a puzzled expression.
Xu Du looked at the mirror with some doubt. The edges of the mirror seemed wreathed in clouds and mist, which he could tell were composed of wind elements in the air, but when he looked into it, he could only see his own reflection.
Most painful of all were those factions among the three major forces that were not quite the absolute top powers, yet still held a certain status and were anchored by ancestors in the Great Luo Origin Realm. They were suffering immensely. Without the protection of Pure Yang magical treasures and the Pure Yang magic of Mighty Realm experts, they found it truly difficult to withstand.
"Don't move for now, wait until we rendezvous!" Sensing something was wrong, Yan Fei immediately called a halt to Xia Tong.
"Pfft, no, sorry. Hahaha, I—I really didn't mean it!" Hu Yao clutched his stomach, doubled over with laughter. The overly familiar buddy wanted to laugh too, but looking at Qi Gujia's expression of utter despair toward love, he felt that laughing would be terribly immoral. His face turned as red and bulbous as an old hen about to lay an egg.
"So, this is the request sent by Gao Fa?" Royce, the President of the State of You, said to his chief of staff with a peculiar expression.
Next came the improvements in fuel, various procedural regulations, and detailed scheduling that made production standardized and systematic. There were also the methods of inspection and testing—in short, ensuring that glazed ware production no longer relied purely on luck.
A gigantic thunder-lit maw materialized, and a sudden suction force emerged. The First Evil Emperor found himself uncontrollably flying toward the interior of that giant mouth.
Sun Lin turned his head to look at you, and seeing your solemn expression, he immediately nodded and hurriedly had Cao Shan and the others lead the way.
The various powerful figures who had retreated a hundred paces away looked at the Green Lotus Evil Venerable, who stood gripping a giant axe with an astonishing aura, and secretly marveled in their hearts.
Without another word, the three of them vanished in a blur of motion into the secluded cultivation chamber to consume their medicinal potions.

Mu Yulai possessed an extremely high level of mastery in territory arts. Having reached his current realm of cultivation, he could not only harness the momentum of grasses, trees, mountains, and rivers, but could even draw upon the momentum of the stars to transform it into his own strength.
"Those officials who mutinied have all been arrested, and the subverted troops have been locked up as well. Today, a considerable amount of gold and silver treasures was found in Zhong Bolin's home, and most of the other officials also possess substantial family fortunes. I even noticed that some of them are wealthier than our Prince's Estate!" Leng Yi reported.
Searching to the very end, though the stone door remained unseen, Ye Yi'an's mind gradually calmed from its tremendous shock. From that stillness, a single thought grew exceptionally clear and persistent.
"Doctor Niu need not worry; life and death are predestined, and Yi understands this well." Han Mingyi knew that Niu Jing had expended a great deal of effort for the sake of his illness, even going so far as to travel to such a remote place and stay for so many years.
If Dongfang Qian's parents were really allowed to come to Dongying, it might very well disrupt the plans of Yumiko Hosokawa.
The dozen or so sea beasts at the very front stood over a zhang tall, possessing formidable physical bodies and oppressive auras. Their strength was comparable to that of human experts undergoing thunder tribulations. As they charged, they swept forward like a violent gale, accompanied by a low, rumbling thunderous sound and an astonishing momentum.
Ye Quanying immediately released his grip, and the oil drum was pushed a little higher. However, he knew very well that with Niri Misha's strength, it was utterly impossible for her to push the oil drum upward.
She breathed heavily, looking somewhat unwell. Her waist curved slightly, her hands tightly clutched the clothes over her chest, and then she reached out to gently pat her heart.
That night, dark clouds obscured the moon. Under a moonless sky, illuminated by the flickering, dim light of a campfire, and gazing at the partially roasted game, my appetite was thoroughly whetted.
Had He Jinque not known that this person was cold on the outside and warm on the inside, hearing such a tone would have made her want to claw at the wall and demand whether this person disliked her, and why her tone was so perfunctory.
Acquiring the land deeds was not very troublesome; it only required a certificate from someone influential in the village, along with the buyer's household registration and money. Therefore, it did not take long for Mumian to obtain the land deeds, along with a reward of five taels of silver from the magistrate's office. Originally, Li Qingming wanted to split the money half-and-half with Mumian, but Mumian adamantly refused.
She hadn't expected Zhao Ting to be the one who came. Now that things had come to this, even Shen Yujing did not know how to handle it.
"The matter between you and Ruoya was leaked by the Lu family of Kyoto!" Bai Zhanxing said slowly.

Perhaps sensing Meng Tian's casual attitude, Wei Liao felt somewhat awkward. Why had this little speech of his failed to awe Meng Tian?
However, before long, you told me that you still had unfinished wishes here in the Three Realms, and that you wanted to fulfill those wishes before coming to find me. Like a fool, I actually agreed. After sending you away from the barren lands, you never appeared again.
Mo Fuling's face flushed with a rosy hue, and her voice suddenly turned stern as she scolded, "Demon, I'm warning you to let me go right now, or you'll regret it!" Mo Fuling had always possessed a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and she had once again resorted to saying the opposite of what she felt.
The frozen grappling hook dissolved into shards of ice under a flick of Siyou's finger, vanishing mid-air. Sensing that the situation was turning against him, Lu Xingyue's expression hardened. Without the slightest hesitation, he thrust his hand into his robe, but before he could touch that "ultimate weapon" hidden inside, his movements suddenly froze.
The intentions of the feudal lord of the Land of Wind were obvious to all. His peaceful life required a Kage to shield him from the wind and rain, lest those enemies direct their hostility straight at him.
Bai Mian still didn't think much of this Thunder Gate, but since the boy had a certain amount of capability, he could simply toss him over to Orochimaru when the time came.
Ji Nianyu widened her eyes, her mind completely blank. She had no idea how she had gotten out of the car or entered the house, and she hadn't even heard her mother speaking to her.
Only, whether it was Ye Qingxin's imagination or not, she seemed to feel that the aura emanating from him was somewhat cold and hard.
Once Kaguya stopped moving, her clone instinctively began putting the clothes back on... It seemed that although the clone lacked subjective thought, certain instincts remained, and after training, it should be able to carry out tasks after the two of them left.
Hinata nodded. She had never spoken to Bai Mian about the affairs of the Hyuga clan, but that did not mean she remained timid and afraid to resist.
Even though there were three excellent snipers inside, along with one superior investigator, two second-class investigators, and even several armed helicopters in tow.
