He had intended to show off in front of Vizecy and the others, but he had never expected them not to recognize him and even intend to take him back to the Holy See for trial.

“What do you want to say?” Zhang Lu turned his head and stared coldly at Yang Song. The icy look made Yang Song unconsciously retreat two steps.

Thus, Cui Chunlin could never have imagined that this was nothing more than a lie Zheng Qingyan had fabricated specifically for him.

These several famous stars had no need whatsoever to curry favor with Li Xuan. They had absolutely nothing to do with him, and their actions were largely driven by the instinctive fear provoked by Orlando Bloom’s earlier attempt to harm them.

By then, the maids had stopped calling for help. From far away, the sound of people slowly drawing near could finally be heard.

Upon the city wall, the cultivators who had been holding their breath all this time finally relaxed, their faces lighting up with excitement. Zhong Wuyan, who had been overseeing the wall, also let out a sigh of relief.

The golden-backed giant wolf came pouncing through the air on all four paws. With a sweep of its claws, it struck down like Mount Tai crashing from above. The fierce wind battered their faces, making it difficult to breathe.

As a result, the chief referee, Andre Marina, had been given little opportunity to deliberately display his authority. It had become even harder for him to use the occasion to wash away the grave mistake he had made in the first half, and he began to grow visibly anxious.

Feeling the gravity pressing upon him nearly double, the sudden change left him struggling for breath.

He Yilong wondered why Blind Man’s party had met with resistance beneath Suining City. What secrets were hidden there? What kind of monsters haunted the place?

The river rose and fell with the wind, and the occasional splashing sound only made Shen Tuantuan shrink farther behind Ning Nanxing.

Pu Tao felt a little extra weight settle on her body. When she raised her eyes again, an old-fashioned wooden bracelet lay quietly around her fair wrist.

Of course, Shen Changzhi had said none of this. If even Shen Tuantuan knew nothing about it, Shen Zhong naturally knew even less.

Wang Dahan was startled inwardly. This was his opponent’s true strength; he had indeed won by exploiting a loophole just now.

He could not practice martial arts. What better excuse could there be to take the opportunity to withdraw? He would no longer have to step onto the platform and suffer humiliation over the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Surely he ought to retreat now.

With a thunderous boom, the atmosphere that had been stifled for so long exploded in an instant. The spectators stared at Yang Wei and Li Tong in astonishment, whispering among themselves. These two fellows were far too bold.

After entering the city gates, Ming Xuan asked Hua Qi where she intended to go. If she had nowhere else to stay, she could accompany him to an inn and settle down there.

For a moment, she suddenly had no idea how she ought to face the situation. Perhaps she truly should take the time to understand it properly.

Imperial Physician Chen stood silently to one side. After Martial Virtue Emperor had learned the details, he dismissed everyone else, leaving only his close attendant Fu An in the hall.

Seeing how exhausted his mother looked, her lower eyelids constantly drooping, Jing He asked, “Judging from her pulse, all the residual poison in Mother’s body has been cleared. She is merely somewhat weak.”

At first, everyone had been rather frightened. Only when Long Ling and Sima Zhongda swaggered through the bodies of the monsters, passing through them like light and mist, did the others finally relax.

Li Lin could be said to be the person he had always hated most. In the past, he would already have charged forward to challenge Li Lin to a duel. Yet after everything he had endured, his temperament had become far steadier, utterly unlike what it had been before.

Ten meters away, West Tyrant and South City Tiger stood beneath the eaves, one on each side. The two sides remained silent for several breaths. Then, suddenly, a flash of sword light split the sky, cutting the curtain of rain into a single line.

In other words, if the matter was not dealt with in time, the vanguard might face the disastrous prospect of being attacked from both sides by the Corpse Clan.

At the front of the battlefield, the Glazed Immortal could no longer continue blaming Golden Scale. If matters truly were as Golden Scale had claimed, then the whole affair was indeed far too strange. It seemed these mortals could not be treated as ordinary people.

Chen Yu understood only half of it, and a trace of doubt still lingered in his eyes. It was not that he could not understand the words; rather, he simply dared not completely believe anything this fellow in front of him said.

The hilt once again transmitted the solid sensation of a successful strike. Chen Yu wanted to press forward and expand his advantage, but his opponent had already sensed his intention and retreated at full speed.

After all, the consequences that would result from the situation before them would be terrifying beyond measure, utterly beyond imagination.

The carriage gradually fell silent. Only the roar of the engine and the wind outside could be heard, along with the occasional curses of the driver, Zheng Xianghe.

Without drawing attention to himself, Zhao Yue used a finger to write the character for “mouth” on his mother’s leg. After a brief pause, he drew a vertical stroke through the middle.

“I never imagined this world had already developed to such an extent.” After saying this, Xiao Yi looked somewhat puzzled.

Song Ruilong asked Shi Dongyun to tell Wang Datong, in Wang Datong’s presence, where Wang Datong had been the previous night.

The only way for the Jin Kingdom to survive was to destroy the Liao Empire. Exceptionally brave and skilled in battle, it had dealt the proud warriors of Liao one crushing defeat after another, gravely threatening the fate and security of the Liao Empire. It was the Liao Empire’s mortal enemy.

Even though he now held unquestioned authority among the giant-beast race, with prestige far surpassing that of the leaders of previous generations, he could not simply disregard the opinions of the more conservative great clans.

Yet after arriving on Thousand-Leaf Island and witnessing the vigorous vitality blooming throughout every corner of the place, his original convictions gradually began to waver.

As for Shamu, even though that old fox Hillary had already made up his mind that, so long as Leng Feng could be ransomed, he would tolerate any price, that did not mean his side would give up so easily.

In that fierce battle, which had been as intense as a great final war between two nations, he might already have become one of the more than forty thousand who died amid the chaos. To be reduced to ashes and have his name carved upon the monument to the national heroes who resisted Liao in Zhaozhou would have been a small matter indeed.

The Great Desolation Holy Land and our Dragon-Tiger Holy Land were enemies before. Now they intend to destroy our Dragon-Tiger Holy Land. Are we truly going to become slaves of a conquered nation?

The aura of the one leading the group was extraordinarily powerful. Dark Night sensed that it was roughly comparable to his own peak Martial Venerable realm. He immediately realized that this fellow was a seventh-tier peak primordial beast. The three beside it had a similar aura, though somewhat weaker; they should be high-level seventh-tier beasts.

Golden Boy had indeed fallen into the trap, but he had ultimately managed to escape. Even when West Kengyin personally acted and gave chase, Golden Boy had still managed to get away.
