Xu Huaiyu and Zhu Zhen ordered their soldiers to clean up the battlefield and process the prisoners. They seized a significant amount of high-quality weaponry, including swords, spears, and bows, and even stripped the better armor off the enemy soldiers.

The two elders were quite shocked, feeling that Zhai Mo's cultivation had improved compared to before. Even Qingxiu had been severely wounded, though the elders were unaware that this was due to Qingxiu’s own carelessness, having been struck by the Giant Spirit Bow. Had they known, they would inevitably have viewed the Giant Spirit with different eyes. Qingxiu, meanwhile, kept his eyes closed, focusing on his breathing and striving to achieve peace of mind.

Bang! At the critical moment, a loud noise erupted. A man in black appeared, his arms wreathed in blood-colored dragon energy. He grabbed the long spear with one hand and, with a fierce squeeze, snapped it in two.

Qingxiu closed his eyes again, his consciousness diving deep into his core. Under his control, a piece of the core detached itself, instantly shattering into countless irregular solid particles.

Zhang Jun’s phone rang again; it was Yang Jiahui, asking about stock market trends and the quotes of individual stocks.

"I really can't do anything with you," he said, caught between laughter and tears, feigning ferocity as he reached out to pinch my cheek.

Sima Lang bowed respectfully to Cao Pi: "Your Majesty, Mi Heng is arrogant. It would be inauspicious to kill him, yet it is hateful to let him go. Why not send him to Changshan?"

Yang Jiahui also completed her trade. With everyone having finished their transactions, the atmosphere grew lively once more.

The defending troops were on the verge of psychological and moral collapse. Most soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered. The autumn sun shone warmly upon the earth, but the hearts of the Xuzhou defenders were colder than ice.

Three seconds later, he strode forward, his gaze piercingly cold. I instinctively felt fear, but I had nowhere left to retreat.

Deep down, he had already lost the courage to stand against Zhang Taibai; he was merely deceiving himself, unwilling to admit it.

"Damn it!" Qin Feng scrambled up, swung his fist, and lunged wildly at Xu Mushen.

"Qiu Ming, you say this can grow? How big can it get?" The Nine-Colored Deer stared at the Turtle Mountain Dragon Palace on the ground, full of curiosity.

He closed his eyes and stretched his limbs, enjoying a moment of carefree relaxation. Half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly sensed someone approaching.

"Disgusting! Never again will I do something so self-defeating and spiteful." An indescribably strange taste spread through Patch’s mouth, causing his entire face to scrunch up.

Tang Yan felt dizzy at the mention of the Millennium Ancient Vine. He had never heard of it, let alone seen one; what were they to do? Tianci sensed Tang Yan's hesitation and smiled, "In the Underworld, these Millennium Ancient Vines are everywhere; they look just like ordinary vines." He then described the appearance of the vine to Tang Yan.

Yin Ruoge cursed through gritted teeth, knowing that if he stayed any longer, his soul might dissipate. With a flick of his long sleeves, he grabbed the tear-stained Huan Fusheng and Fan Hongyan, riding the wind into the distance and leaving a red arc of light in the sky.

I was too sensitive, always fixating on his reactions and emotions, and the more I watched, the more it hurt. I couldn't refuse him, so I went to the store at the hospital entrance to buy a pack of cigarettes before hurrying back.

Tang Yan had done this on purpose. In truth, everyone knew the score; the two were practically a married couple already, otherwise, Ma Jie wouldn't have brought her boyfriend to introduce to everyone. Tang Yan’s push just happened to cement their relationship.

The strength of a celestial beast is no less than that of a cultivator in the Spirit Concentration Realm. Judging by the antlers of the Nine-Colored Deer, this was a three-hundred-year-old celestial deer, likely possessing strength at the late stage of the Celestial Realm, equivalent to a late-stage Spirit Concentration cultivator.

Fang Jie, being as clever as he was, saw everything and felt a surge of joy. But at the thought of the "rice-planting" matter, his heart felt burdened once again, as if pressed by a thousand-pound boulder.

The larger the void space became, the more it could store. Zhang Yu was quite satisfied with this result.

"Then, did my mother and the others bring anything for me?" Having been away from home for so long, it would be a lie to say Li Tianyang didn't miss his family. He couldn't help but ask Yu Mo, knowing that among those present, if his parents or grandmother wanted to send a message or a letter, they would only entrust it to Yu Mo, his prospective daughter-in-law.

The slightly scorched teleportation array could no longer be used, and it was clear that the formation's layout had been tampered with.

Wasn't Ah Lan's refusal to marry the Third Young Master Wan exactly what she had hoped for? So why couldn't she feel happy?

"Gray Bean Root?" Qiu Shan was even more confused, his face full of bewilderment: "What do you want with that? You can't eat it, you can't use it, and even if you wanted to burn it as firewood, it would need to dry for days."

Meng Zhou and Lihun were different; both had offended her previously. Now that the Lingshan Curse Ancestor and the others needed her help, giving her two Daoist Curse Masters as bodyguards was not excessive at all.

The biggest reason Lin Zhuo adopted this approach was that, subconsciously, he was already afraid of He Yu and the others.

Jian Heng and Jian Lin also looked at Gu Zhen. They knew what Ru Die was asking Gu Zhen to help with, but they wondered if Gu Zhen alone was capable of it.

Under my relentless pressure, she fled underground, but even in the endless night, she did not waver in her resolve.

As some speculated about the man's identity, Sister Hong spoke up and revealed his background in a single sentence.
