Volume 1, Chapter 42: Preparing for Trial

It was precisely because of this profound misunderstanding that Zhao Ji took the wrong course of action, which further aggravated the conflict and drove the situation headlong toward an irreretrievable abyss.

Hearing this, I also recalled that back at the shady inn, Wang Hu seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally speaking on my behalf.

Alternatively, if he had accumulated sufficient dharmic fire, he could also refine this treasure to broaden his horizons and build up his foundation.

In an instant, those magical instruments cut through the void like a gale, slashing toward the eldest senior brother of the Great Void Sword Sect with an astonishing and terrifying momentum.

Jiang Chuan had already checked Jing Yunzhi's balance, so he stood on no ceremony and ordered the four most expensive dishes.

These ferocious life forms constituted an aerial defense line, and should the need arise, ten or a hundred times their number could take flight at any moment.

This time, the door was opened by a middle-aged man who looked to be around thirty years of age.

The young man before her had delicate eyebrows and eyes filled entirely with her. The ruthlessness he usually displayed on the battlefield was completely gone, and no one would ever have imagined that the two people who were formerly at each other's throats would end up becoming each other's most relied-upon person.

Growing stronger is an instinct engraved in the bloodline of all life, and for the abyss demons, it is the sole pursuit.

However, instead of retreating, she advanced rapidly, charging straight toward the black-robed youth in an attempt to disrupt the momentum he had yet to fully condense.

Xiang Ziyao abruptly raised her head to look at Shaoyu, her eyes filled with astonishment. But the next moment, the look of astonishment vanished, replaced by a deep sense of sorrow.

In the afternoon, the dean, a man of myriad responsibilities, finally seemed to remember Cheng Lingzhi, whom he had cast aside into the hepatobiliary surgery department, and once again summoned her for an audience.

One must admit, the rumors spread by the Li family were indeed capable of stirring people's hearts. Even those who had no intention of going were now rushing over out of sheer curiosity.

A security guard curiously removed his mask to take a glance, instantly turned pale with shock, and rushed off to the side to vomit violently.

Having said that, Xiao Kaiyang stood there with his hands clasped behind his back like an elder, looking at him with a genial smile while an inexplicable look flickered in his eyes.

Later on, Xiao Wei came to check on her again. Seeing that Cheng Lingzhi still had not regained consciousness after such a long time, they were all somewhat worried and left with furrowed brows under Situ Haoyu's cold glare.

After saying this, the thin man called out to his companion, preparing to lift the person, but he couldn't help letting out a sigh the moment he caught sight of Zhu Yingying.

Qiao Luoqie nodded timidly, and Lianyu gave a delicate smile, gently kissing Qiao Luoqie on the lips.

Lianyu trembled behind him and said, "I still dare not admit it, do I?" After saying this, she let out a desolate, bitter laugh. "You just keep making me sound more and more despicable." Qiao Luoqie turned around, stared into Lianyu's eyes, and said, "You truly break my heart." Remembering the deep affection of the past, tears welled up and fell from his eyes.

"Clan Leader Gu, it is not impossible for me to take less, but I have a condition. I wonder if you can agree to it?" Chen Yi had anticipated this situation long ago, so his expression remained completely calm.

Xue Ling's Ice Sword had already suffered severe damage during the previous battle when it collided with the Black-Bone Dragon, and blocking the self-detonation attack this time left the already precarious blade covered in cracks.

When the Chaos Heaven-Refining Cauldron returned to his hand, Su Ni found that the antique-bronze cauldron body was faintly suffused with a purple glow.

Hearing this, Qiao Luoyu felt a tight constriction in his chest. Last night, hearing Xizhi call out "Big Brother Lu" in that manner, he knew in his heart that the relationship between the two was definitely not simple. Her words now only served to confirm the vague suspicion he had harbored.

Furthermore, the red and orange dual-colored chaotic energy within Hong Tian's body merged into the flames, directly squeezing out all the impurities from the medicinal herbs and bringing them to the utmost state of purity.

Moreover, this kind of crippling was no ordinary crippling; losing limbs would already be the best possible outcome.

It is said that the entire imperial city of the Central Dynasty is a grand array, and when operated at full power, even an Immortal Venerable would be unable to breach it.

Yet attempting to calculate the trajectory of the next few centuries now yielded only chaos, with clarity returning only after three hundred years.

Qi Lingyun and Red Boy had both fallen asleep. With a soft hiss, a green snake slithered in through a crack in the wall, made its way to Zhuang Wanggu's side, leaped up beside him, and transformed back into the shape of a demonic python. This was a secret technique passed down from the dinosaur clan, making it extremely difficult to detect when transformed into an ordinary creature.

Lingzhuzi remained as he was before, draped in the Universe Red Armillary Sash and wearing the Universe Ring around his neck, looking plump, white, and completely harmless. Yet his cunning, pitch-black eyes seemed to remind everyone that he was nothing more than a mischievous troublemaker.

However, to my astonishment, the moment I threw it out, it flew into the magical black hole at high speed. After consuming it, the magical black hole instantly expanded several times over, and before I could dodge in time, I was pulled right into the magical black hole.

"It seems I was just overthinking things." Having cast off the fear in his heart, Yuan Hong felt for the first time that the saints were not so terrifying after all; after all, there were still forces keeping them in check. As long as he complied with the Heavenly Dao, they would not dare to eradicate him casually.

The top leaders of Heishanshan reached a consensus: to take preventive measures and begin various preparations for the upcoming merger of Wushanshan and Heishanshan into the only special economic zone in Northeast China.

First, because he did not know the reason behind the conflict among those few; second, because his identity was rather sensitive, being a guest minister of the Clan of Elucidation, a status arguably even higher than that of the Twelve Immortals.

Soro did not even blink his eyelids, and Xisha gradually felt he could go on no longer. The person before him understood him far too well, and spouting such nonsense was utterly meaningless; he could almost anticipate the man's final, cold remark about the "laws of the demon race."

"Your fortuitous encounter has not yet arrived, and to force it now will only harm her. As long as you cultivate with a tranquil heart, there will naturally be a day of reunion in the future." How could his thoughts possibly be hidden from Yuan Hong?

The moment Zhong Nan caught sight of Liao Qing'er, Liao Qing'er also spotted him. Both of them froze for a second, their gazes lingering on each other before looking away at the exact same time—a scene captured by Qiuxiang in the distance.
