Chapter 40

Upon hearing Su You's words, Wang Tian was filled with curiosity, wondering what method Su You would use to get them across.

As the ripple of true qi spread outward, the towering wall in front of the Luotian Gate suddenly collapsed, scattering rubble all over the ground and causing violent tremors across the entire area.

Immediately, the two of them argued fiercely without reaching a consensus, while Yu Luotian remained silent throughout, constantly shaking his head with a bitter smile.

The expressions of Lu Xiang and the Matsushima city soldiers shifted instantly, and they stared at Akai Kota in stunned disbelief, wondering what on earth he was trying to do and why he was setting his own body on fire.

At this moment, the most dazzling figures were naturally Piao Wucai, standing upon the high platform, and the eight head chefs from the eight culinary halls.

"Damn it! It looks like once I get back, I need to figure out a way to make a compass as soon as possible!" Huang Yan muttered angrily.

Hearing this, the crowd could not help but nearly fall over in exasperation. Alas, who could blame him? How could this "super foodie" possibly possess the mindset of a judge at a moment like this?

Upon hearing Su You say this, Bureau Chief Wang hurriedly spoke again. Afterward, he cast a somewhat irritated glance at the opposing deputy director and Wu Yue.

The Underworld King spat out a mouthful of blood and suffered severe injuries; he had never expected the Black Tortoise to possess such formidable strength, making even someone of his stature unworthy of becoming its opponent.

"Your Holiness the new Pope, come to take command of the Soul-Reaping Guards," the High Priest pulled Qi Wulei forward and introduced him to the two Soul-Reaping Envoys.

Given the heavy responsibilities resting on Ling Feng's shoulders, there was no need for him to display excessive personal pride, especially since Madam Okamura was preparing to help him detoxify. He could easily agree without hesitation.

That evening, she purposely pondered over everything once more, checked all her preparations, and by the time she finished tidying up, it was already past eight o'clock. With nothing to do, she watched television for a while on the sofa, eating fruit while waiting for Yin Yuting to return.

Every year, the Emperor would go on a grand hunt in Lijing County. Nominally called a hunt, its actual purpose was to secretly observe whether the three feudal lords outside Lijing County harbored rebellious intentions, while simultaneously maintaining the court's relationship with them.

"Forget it, she still has her uses for now, no need to rush," Chen Yufeng took a deep breath, pulled out a white vial, and poured the white powder inside onto the Emperor of Zithers' corpse. Instantly, the corpse dissolved into white powder at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Afterward, Ye Qingcheng waved her hand to dismiss Fen Mei, then quietly reclined on the sofa to savor a glass of Hennessy, a trace of sorrow lingering in her eyes.

Yet, even in the heat of fierce combat, I always kept a fraction of my awareness locked onto him. He had not the slightest chance of escaping from my grasp.

Yingzi followed closely behind, feeling far more nervous than he did. Seeing no trace of Ling Feng, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"It's not like that, it's just that this guy True Destiny..." Xi Bai explained True Destiny's situation to Blood-stained Apple, and only then did the latter understand what was going on.

This meant that the transformed Diamond Indestructible Ring could automatically absorb energy, "sucking dry" certain magical treasures to replenish its own energy while simultaneously neutralizing those treasures.

"Certainly. However, their identities in Hong Kong are definitely not public, nor do they engage in overly frequent activities. Who knows, they might just seek you out one day," Han Huaiyi said.

"Is the Ancestor of Laughter trying to enter the bridal chamber?" Xing Tian's eerie voice drifted over, blocking their path and making Mu Ying wish she could tear his mouth apart.

However, anyone with powerful perception could sense an intensely terrifying energy emanating from within the old man.

Otherwise, Qiaominghe and Leng Aotian would never have been so deeply grateful to him as to risk everything to rescue him in Country D.

The golden light radiating from the Heavenly Emperor's decree protected the three thousand prodigies as they passed through the great vortex and entered a boundless, pitch-black space devoid of any sound.

Han Huaiyi quickly stepped aside. The Monkey King's guard chattered happily, leaping excitedly back and forth among the branches.

She never encountered any of the people she should have met in that world; her entire decade and a half of youth had been trapped beside Pei Sinan, who had scarcely ever left Nanshu for even a step.

"No good, no good, they're all catching bugs," Dummy watched for a long time and realized that everyone in Zhefang was rummaging around for something, instantly losing her curiosity.

In fact, not only was Liu Pojun beaten to the point of vomiting blood, but even Lone Wolf could not suppress a mouthful of blood after landing on the ground.

If the current situation could be maintained, Zhu Houhuang preferred to keep it that way. Of course, if it could no longer be sustained, he would not stubbornly cling to it either.

"Have you come to an agreement yet...?" At that moment, Liang Weidong appeared at the doorway, carrying a tin pot and a bottle of Daohuaxiang liquor.

Muttering to himself in the room for quite a while with his mouth open, Li Maogong plopped down onto the edge of his bed, took a deep sniff of the air, and finally lay down with a sense of satisfaction.

Wu Siyou casually tossed a plate of fruit to Lixue. Greenery was a rare sight in the Underworld, and fresh fruit even more so—people often fought fiercely over a single Bodhi fruit.

Across the boundless cosmos, the deities of the Void Realm quietly observed everything unfolding within the Yan Residence in Yangzhou during the Qianlong reign of the Great Qing Dynasty in a parallel Earth.

As Qin Feng stepped out of the Hengyu office building, he excitedly pulled Yufan into a tight embrace. This success was entirely due to Yufan's participation.

That ship had originally retreated, but upon discovering that Old Man Liu had been trapped, its occupants turned pale with shock.

Military trucks pulled up, disgorging troops of officers and soldiers. Sporting steel helmets and green military uniforms, more than fifty men leaped from the vehicles. With expressionless faces yet an air of readiness, they blocked the exit of the village road.

"What are you doing?" Hu Qiqi hurriedly pulled me up, afraid of attracting the attention of the demonic insects. She communicated with me using spiritual voice transmission.

The blood in Qian Datou's chest surged up and down like a water pump, and his eye sockets felt as though a handful of salt had been thrown into them, brimming with tears that stung intensely. With a loud slap, he slammed his fist down onto the desk.

In truth, she knew that this day would arrive sooner or later, and she would never love anyone else in this lifetime.

Su Chen did not dwell on it further and returned to his room, where he immediately resumed his cultivation.

The next second, no longer able to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, he forcefully pulled her into his embrace, spun around, and pinned her against the wall.

"My Lord, please forgive your subordinate's short-sightedness. I truly did not understand before why Your Lordship would treat My Lady with such devotion." Xu Zhongting withdrew all his banter, his expression turning respectful.

Though he was already her ex-boyfriend, when she was with Gu Yantian, did she and Gu Yantian... also do all the things that lovers do?
