“I can definitely pass the preliminary audition and make it through the second round!” Qin Ming clenched his fists and declared inwardly.

At that, Wang Sha spoke up. Gu Yan did not refuse and readily agreed. She knew Wang Sha and understood that her sincerity was genuine, so she accepted at once.

Gu Yan seemed to hear the wild cries behind her. She turned her head, realized what had happened, and hurried back.

I flashed a feral grin and waved my hand once more. The wall of ice shielding the cargo ship vanished, and the pirates on the deck of the pirate vessel appeared in our line of sight again. Every one of them wore a bewildered expression, staring at us in utter disbelief.

“How many races are there in this world, anyway? The human race, the demon race, the spirit race, and the divine race…” Fusheng stared at the white lotus and muttered to himself. “Then does that make him human or divine?”

Shen Zhiyan was dressed coolly today, in a long strappy dress that left her beautiful collarbones exposed. Anything lower was beyond Li Zhi’s appreciation.

At the first opportunity, Li Zhi floored the accelerator. The tires spun against the pavement, sending up a cloud of white smoke, and the car shot forward like a rocket.

Tang Shisan stepped on a trail of blood, fresh blood gushing from his wrist as he groaned and fell from the battle.

Meizhuang lay beneath West Lake. Of course, “beneath” did not mean the true bottom of the lake, but rather the lower bank along its downstream end.

The icy true qi sensed that something was wrong and began fleeing through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, while the Star-Absorbing inner force pursued it relentlessly.

A fist of unimaginable force thundered forward, and a green frost spear suddenly appeared in the man’s hand. Borrowing the momentum and speed of his charge, Luo Changfeng leaped into the air and thrust decisively.

How did he know that the box was wrapped in sheet iron? Du Yuesheng glanced at the thick felt covering the box and understood after a moment’s thought. From the front, its shape naturally revealed nothing. But if it were lying beneath a carriage, anyone could see it clearly.

Because of her father’s gambling debts, Lü Bingbing had nearly been unable to complete her education. Fortunately, she encountered a kindhearted teacher who discovered her talent and ability in learning. The teacher encouraged her continuously and supported her with concrete action, helping her go to the United States to study.

Dou Qibin watched as the car drifted slightly toward him. He had assumed the driver would turn and pass by his side. But events unfolded in a way he had never anticipated. When the car reached a point not far away, the driver suddenly floored the accelerator. Roaring and trembling, it charged straight at him.

The army of the Magical Continent withdrew, while the forces of the Earth Federation limited their operations to the Misty Forest and the Spiritstone Mountains. The entire Immortal Spirit Continent welcomed a long-awaited peace, and Zhang Tian finally enjoyed a period of leisure. Although he was an honorary guest elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect, he did not return there and instead remained at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Jiang Huairen was certain that Zhou Dingwu had come to assassinate him on Zhou Zuoyi’s orders. Now that Zhou Dingwu had failed, Jiang Huairen could easily imagine the look on Zhou Zuoyi’s face.

“Has anything unusual happened today?” Bei Ming Hanxuan swept his eyes indifferently over the line of guards and spoke with authority.

“They’re not dead,” Wang Weidong replied. When he saw Wang Jie smile, enlightenment suddenly dawned on him. Wang Jie had been testing him. Had he already guessed?

The discussion continued without end. Liu Changlong’s eyes widened. What was going on? Why did the words differ so completely from what he had seen? Besides, Wang Yang was clearly lying right there. Liu Changlong turned to Jiang Huairen, who merely smiled without saying a word.

Felie, who was usually so uninhibited, rarely showed such a shy expression. Nevertheless, she bravely accepted the divine staff and raised it high into the air.

Lin Yi frowned slightly. If what Number One had said was true, then Feng Tiande had apparently found somewhere to hide.

Yun Shuang, meanwhile, furrowed her brows slightly and pondered the meaning behind Qin Xiao’s words. Even if Qin Xiao had a grievance against the Wei family, surely he did not need to call Wei Konghe an old fox so openly?

“Then, Uncle, does the martial world truly have no peak?” Shen Fan still could not help asking.

Lin Tian quietly continued his studies. As for the Demon Clan Patriarch, he was utterly stunned. He watched the flames swirling around Lin Tian and wondered, “What exactly is he doing?” The Demon Clan Patriarch had no cultivation whatsoever at that moment. He did not dare approach, yet he feared there might be danger nearby, so he could only stand there and watch.

Although Qin Mu knew that the Prince of West City had said all this merely to provoke him, even knowing that the prince intended to anger him, Qin Mu was determined to break out of the Thousand-Bird Barrier!

The Blood Locusts, as dense as countless crimson threads filling the sky, shot toward Shen Fan and surrounded him in an instant.

As one of the few elite forces under the Red Knight, who possessed only a faint measure of divine power, the Scarlet Cavalry’s battle tactics were distinctly divine in character. They did not lower their lances and level them traditionally before urging their warhorses into a high-speed charge. Instead, they employed a method that was even more unorthodox.

After all, although Azure Dragon City’s middle circle contained several hundred factions, only a handful dared to tear all ties with the Crimson Moon. The Heaven-Questioning Alliance was clearly not among them. In fact, this was the first time they had even heard the name.

The moment he disappeared from Tang Feng’s sight, Tang Feng hurriedly led the other two into an empty private room and locked the door from within.

It turned out that, just moments earlier, an illusion had appeared before Sixin’s eyes. The owner of that illusion was none other than Xuanyuan Qimo, who had left the capital two days before to rush to the frontier.

Fu Yujing looked with great satisfaction at the determination settling across Bai Zirui’s face. Only then did he brush the eggshells from his hand.

When Consort Shu saw the emperor approaching in the distance, she deliberately delayed climbing ashore. She wanted the emperor to witness the frailty she had displayed moments after reaching land, so that he would believe her words and punish Consort Hua and Lady Ji.

Five days before the selection, Changtai personally issued an imperial decree appointing the Empress to preside over the proceedings. In addition to having Consort Shu and Consort De assist her, he specifically ordered Lady Liu to help with the evaluations. For a time, the women of the six palaces were consumed by envy and jealousy.

He was truly afraid that Helan Yao would go to the Illusory Moon just like that. If Helan Yao dared to go there, he would abandon both Northern Xia and Qianzhi and pursue her.

Still, Meng Dong could hardly be blamed. Over the years, he had witnessed far too much of the world’s darkness. There had never been any shortage of people afraid of death. The saying that men die for wealth while birds die for food was not without truth.

“The emperor has found no news of those assassins. I wonder whether he has learned anything about the person who saved our lives?” Helan Yao stopped sobbing and addressed Long Haoran.
