She had cut her hair, and there was no longer any way to conceal her face. Even if he managed to keep them away for now, would they not still see her later?
Wei Huang wore a radiant smile, but once he obtained the divine artifact, they would probably turn against each other. Fortunately, he had prepared for that possibility long ago and was not afraid of the old man playing tricks.
Even if it was true, using the suffering that had tormented her day and night as something to trample upon and mock was hardly the conduct of a gentleman.
The shock of all that white hair already lent the youthful-looking Hua Jun far more credibility than an ordinary person. Now, with such swift and decisive movements, without wasting a word on idle chatter, she further convinced the constables that this Doctor Hua was precisely the person the palace needed.
Yet this time, the Eastern Protectorate Army of the Dayu Kingdom had taken precautions far earlier than expected. Apart from losing a single city, it had suffered no major losses.
The first light of dawn, when night and morning changed places, was the best time to control evil power. Mo Ran and Xuanyuan had both told you that this power had merged with your body from the moment you were born. Since then, it had belonged to you. You had to learn to control it and use it, rather than allow it to control and command you.
Ye Xueying flew to Red Mound first, placed seals on all the captured wind foxes, and then subdued them with the Celestial Voice Technique. She subsequently incorporated every wind fox into her forces, forming an army of nearly one hundred thousand.
By the time he reached the gate, the area outside was already a dark, seething mass, surrounding the Su residence like a rising tide.
After seizing the Sakura Society’s stronghold in the heart of the Arctic, Li Ping’an had made an absolute fortune. At that moment, there was probably no one on the entire planet with deeper foundations than Li Ping’an.
“You should count yourselves lucky!” Before leaving, the fat middle-aged man still could not resist throwing out a final threat. It stirred nothing in Gao Ba and his companion, however, earning only an eye-roll and a cold laugh.
By then, Xia Yufei was so full of remorse that she was nearly crying. In the end, the whole matter was their fault. If the two of them had known how to cook, they would not have waited until the very last moment to cobble together instant noodles.

Xia Zheng’s expression was unpleasant. After pursuing his prey so painstakingly for half a day, he had been beaten to it by Ye Fentian. A surge of inexplicable fury rose within him.
“Of course. Once your brother steps in, what problem could possibly remain unsolved?” Lin Feng was not modest in the slightest, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.
“Uh… oh. I see.” Su Qifei was so caught off guard by Nan Kerui’s words that she nearly failed to react. A moment later, however, she understood what he meant and could not help blushing furiously.
They had robbed graves, stolen corpses to refine ghost puppets, used sorcery to help wealthy clients take lives, and prolonged people’s earthly lifespans. They had committed nearly every evil imaginable. Yet the organization was so mysterious that, although the authorities had sent people to eradicate it several times, it had always risen again from the ashes.
Apart from prolonging the time of death and despair, had this fate—this destiny—ever truly changed?
His bewildered gaze received no explanation from Xu Fan. Instead, he saw the fellow smiling amiably as he offered him a greeting.
Although these Core Formation cultivators wore grim expressions, they showed no killing intent. They probably had no intention of making an example of them. Besides, after the final melee, perhaps only a third of the disciples would emerge alive. If they were punished as well, it would be simpler to recruit an entirely new generation.
His voice lacked the strength to carry. Even the people standing beneath the city wall could not hear him, much less the armies spread across the mountains and plains. And even if, taking the most charitable view, he somehow managed to make everyone hear him, so what? The destruction of the Thunder Martial Kingdom was already an established fact. Asking people to change sides in the middle of battle would be nothing short of a joke.
“Perhaps it’s only a little fondness, not love,” Zhang Tianshun replied with a bitter smile.
Before the battle had even begun, he had made his bold claim first. It was a matter of losing the contest but not one’s nerve—crushing the enemy in spirit before crossing swords.
Zhang Tianshun stared at the Dragon Tomb’s gate, a full twenty meters high and fifteen meters wide, and swallowed hard.

At that moment, Ling Hanyu’s face was also filled with astonishment. Part of it came from Liu Qian’s almost heaven-defying feat just now; the rest came from the incomparable shock inspired by the Moon Wheel in her hand.
Driston and the surrounding thousand miles had been enclosed together and formed into a vast province. No one, however, would raise the slightest objection to Cletia becoming its governor.
More than five hundred elite spectral soldiers and ghost generals guarded this place at all times, and five serving gods of the underworld kept watch over it as well.
He opened his status panel without delay. He needed to use gene points to ease the pain in his body. The energy released by gene points entering his body had become almost negligible and was utterly incapable of healing his injuries. At present, every wound he bore required gene points to mend.
After all, before Shu Xiaoqi withdrew from the entertainment industry, she had ranked quite highly among the queens of the Chinese-language music scene.
For one thing, he was certain he had just witnessed that unbelievable scene. For another, he had been immersed in his teacher’s teachings since childhood and therefore knew a great many secrets.
“To be honest, I merely went out for a while. A monster like this is nothing remarkable.” Kikyo behaved like a true wife, serving Seimei tea and attending to his every need.
Earlier, Kaliwazhan had watched from the roadside as the soldiers sat atop the tanks, each of them looking mighty and imposing. But after climbing onto one himself, he discovered that the envy he had felt while watching them had vanished completely. The jolting of the tank shook him so violently that he could barely endure it.
