Chapter 36

A golden curtain of light suddenly appeared before him, instantly repelling the divine sense he had projected. Had Chu Wanjun not possessed absolute confidence, how could he have failed to eliminate the scout once discovered?

"Let us go in," Chu Wanjun said with a smile, stepping forward, followed by the rest of the group.

At first, Ye Feiya thought she was merely overtired from the past few days, which was why such things were happening.

Meanwhile, news of a marriage alliance between the Kaitian Realm and the Soul Realm arrived, declaring the eighth of next month an auspicious day. Ruo Canxue was to be married off from the Kaitian Realm to the Soul Realm with great fanfare.

Chu Xiaoyun was so fond of Shen Chujian; was he truly willing to quit the Hunters? Had he gone mad?

Commanders like those of the Holy Emperor Knight Order and the Douluo Knight Order possessed the strength of Titled Douluos. This alone demonstrated the immense power of the Spirit Hall.

Mo Sikong disliked the Starry Sky Pavilion, primarily because it had been a gift from Yu Yusheng to Ge Qi.

Di Jiuqiao was finally content. "Mu, this hospital belongs to A-Heng’s family." As he spoke, he picked up the thermos from the table and poured her a bowl of hot porridge.

"Lord Immortal King!" Someone, witnessing this shocking scene, let out a cry of terror.

The competition Li Sheng was currently participating in was part of a game called the "Dreamwalking Championship."

Under such circumstances, Qin Feng continued to cultivate his own power. Only by ensuring the people lived well could he harness their support to successfully ascend the throne.

Doctor Tao confirmed that Xie Jingyan was unharmed and returned to the outer courtyard. Shen Wan, yawning incessantly, returned to her room, too tired to care about the breakfast she had just eaten; she simply undressed and lay down on the bed.

Chong Yu did not expect that, despite the late hour, she would be unable to sleep, forced instead to listen to the creaking of the bedboards from the couple next door.

Wang Xin still had not left. Most of the Yang family’s assets had been relocated, a process that had shaken them to their core. Before leaving, Yang Yingying had visited White Cloud Mountain, attempting to take Wang Xin with her, but was sternly refused.

The disciple, terrified, knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, vowing repeatedly that he would never err again and pleading with the Sect Master and the elders to spare him just this once.

Given the same salary, these officials were more capable; given the same level of ability, these officials required less compensation. In that case, why should he keep the previous officials who did nothing but consume rations?

Inviting her over was merely to confirm whether she was responsible for the assassination attempt that day; the gift was just a casual excuse to dismiss Lu Yanran.

Before Qin Feng established these factories, merchants wishing to transport goods or travel between regions were forced to hire security escort agencies, as they lacked the capacity to expand their businesses across the Great Qin State on their own.

It was as if they had long anticipated that Feng Duxing would not truly place the recipe for the Ultimate Flavor Powder in the box; no one in the room showed much of a reaction.

Even without showing his face, he was mesmerizing. If he were any better-looking, he would be the death of everyone.

Gu Qin’s expression was unsightly, and Lu Wanbi, standing beside her, felt resentful. This jade Buddha hand was clearly more favored by the old master than the solid gold ingot with longevity patterns they had presented earlier.

Even after being shoved, Li Mojue remained elegant, maintaining his customary cold and noble air. His icy phoenix eyes, however, were fixed on Lu Anran not far away, a gaze that seemed as though it could swallow her whole.

This move infuriated the State of Wei. Regardless of the disparity in strength, both Wei and Lu were vassals of the State of Jin and held equal status. Yang Hu had acted without even a courtesy notice.

Upon hearing this, the crowd felt as if a new door had been opened. They had never known that alcohol could be consumed this way—mixed on the spot—it was truly magical.

"Yunchang, Yide, Zilong, you should also stay and taste Huaiheng’s craftsmanship," Liu Bei said with a beaming smile.

Following the gift of the white feather fan and Zhuge Liang’s return gift of the seven-stringed zither, Su Yi had a distinct feeling that his relationship with Zhuge Liang had inexplicably drawn much closer.

Lu Anran raised an eyebrow. She was somewhat surprised that her calligraphy and paintings could earn praise from the veteran Master Xu Yi.

Even if those influences seemed harmless to Mo Lanjin, he did not want Gu Qingcheng to suffer even the slightest injury.

At this moment, the Mermaid Chief discovered that the young master of the Demon Clan had appeared among the humans, and the scent of Chu Yu on him was exceptionally strong. Realizing this, the Mermaid Chief, who had just been quiet, immediately rushed over to cling to Han Yan’s leg.

Once I finished writing the contents, I raced toward the valley like the wind and tucked the letter into the hollow of the prominent mulberry tree.

Damn it, I actually swindled that piece of jade. Haha. Last time he gave me a pair of top-quality walnut collectibles, and this time I swindled a piece of jade. If I take this to sell, it’ll be worth quite a bit of silver.

Regarding this matter, Old Five White-Hair refused to speak to anyone. Later, as he lay dying, the old master of the Yang family went to visit. Only then did Old Five White-Hair take the old master’s hand and reveal the secret that had been buried for twenty years.

"There’s no other way. We can only pray that the knowledge Huzi taught me works," he said, walking toward the spot.

They must have endured an incredibly brutal war; otherwise, it would have been impossible for all the surrounding walls to be carved with such stone reliefs.

Yue Wuxia had always been angry with Lin Yi, but upon reflection, she realized that if she could use Lin Yi’s hand to eliminate the five great families, it would be perfect. Even if he couldn't destroy them, weakening them would be a fine outcome.

"It’s not that I won't help you, but is this the attitude one takes when asking for help?" Jiang Shasha said, arms crossed, sounding annoyed.

However, the effect was very average. As one of the world's top mid-laners, Pan naturally possessed impressive pressure-resistance, and given Syndra’s strong laning ability, it was impossible for Jump Blade to truly crush him. Pan had no trouble farming normally.

Those were elite troops sent by Jin Biao. Each was a vigorous man who had killed before and was highly capable.

The monster before them let out a massive roar when hit by the searchlight, spraying a stream of foul-smelling green pus at the watchtower.
