Chapter 50

Indeed, aside from feudal lords, those who alternate between benevolence and cruelty like a two-faced person are likely only ambitious overlords with their sights set on the entire realm.

The disappearance of the underworld deities, the ghost-filled grotto connecting to hell, the Ghost Cave tribe crawling from the depths of the earth, along with the Kunlun divine wood and corpse-scented konjac capable of preserving flesh from decay indefinitely.

Fang Jin wanted the perception stone primarily because he was provoked by the One-Eyed King and his faction, prompting him to prepare an extra layer of insurance for his family. Whenever they encountered trouble, they could secretly crush the perception stone, and Fang Jin could immediately rush back to reinforce them. By that time, the enemy might still be gloating over their successful suppression of the news.

At this moment, Daoist Kong knew in his heart that Lin Yan was already well-equipped to integrate the Dao of Emotion into his attacks. If he did not take him seriously, he might actually lose.

Meanwhile, Jiang Tian and the others, who had escaped injury, were faring no better; the blood within their bodies was surging frantically, searching for an outlet. Seeing this, Ouyang Xueming raised his right hand and flicked out several streams of vital energy, instantly piercing the skin of Jiang Tian and his companions.

To reiterate, both sides wanted to suppress the Jinzhou Base while simultaneously reaching out to influence the professional forces of Zhejiang Province. Since they had to cooperate yet remained in mutual competition, mastering the proper balance was of utmost importance.

Zhang You was the first to snap back to senses. He reached out to grab Li Yan by the shoulders, opened his arms wide, and pulled her into his embrace without the slightest hesitation.

Kou Zhun gave Chen Ao a deep look, clearly not expecting this treacherous official to support him at a time like this. Kou Zhun did not dwell on it for long, as the assembled officials had already launched their offensive against him. With the emperor embarking on a personal expedition, many ministers would inevitably have to follow suit. None of these men were willing to go to the front lines and risk their lives.

The phantom of an ancient bronze mirror quietly emerged behind Fang Jin, radiating a pure and crystalline cyan glow.

He dashed outward abruptly, only to hear a sudden bang. An iron portcullis dropped instantly from the lintel, sealing the doorway. Following that, a rapid succession of bangs echoed as rows of iron bars came crashing down across every window. Chen Ao was a step too slow and slammed heavily into the barrier, grimacing in pain.

If Dong Su were to die, Zhao Xuanyuan probably wouldn't even need to fly into a rage herself before the people of the Divine Crane Sect bound her group and hauled them off to claim credit.

A physician holds a benevolent heart. In his previous life, the words he could bear least were those detailing a patient's suffering. Reborn into this world, he had originally intended to break this stubborn flaw. Yet, even as he hardened his heart, he discovered that this bad habit had already woven itself inextricably into his soul, impossible to strip away.

The Red-Eyed Prophet turned and walked back to the kitchen to fetch three plates, served each with a portion of food, and placed them on the table.

Upon hearing his father's words, a warm current welled up in Liu Fanchen's heart. The deep concern expressed in those few brief words by this makeshift father of his moved him profoundly.

Relying on his status as vice president, Zhang Yuqi violated regulations and barged straight through the second set of doors without even changing into surgical scrubs and trousers.

How could this battle possibly be fought? When he cast his gaze elsewhere, he discovered that the other two tribal chieftains were faring no better.

They all understood that the simultaneous emergence of three paragons within a single era would cause Confucianism's influence to soar dramatically.

Shuichi Sakamoto waved his hand, and Chiyoko, disguised as an ordinary member, stepped forward to hand him his weapon—an extraordinarily long nodachi.

Guided by Tan Lang's arrangments, Ye Tianyu and Chen Kexin arrived at their destination, the Wanghai Tower. At the same time, he immediately called Chen Mi to tell her to come join them for dinner.

Only this time, the rabbit had grown countless times larger, resembling a calf, yet its movements remained extremely agile, darting about like the wind.

He Luzhi made a shushing gesture at Sheng Chuhe, and the two of them crawled into the basement one after the other.

Guo Xiuli sat on the sofa in the living room, her eyes darting around as if searching for something.

Sheng Chuhe pressed her lips together and said nothing, though deep down she bitterly regretted why she had ever brought him along.

She could perceive that the vital Qi erupting from Yun Xiao was not cultivated through conventional martial arts training. It was her first time encountering someone who could manifest vital Qi purely through innate talent.

He couldn't be bothered with the Jia family's house anymore; if demolition was coming, it would be best if the whole thing was razed to the ground.

"You're looking for Beggars' Sect disciples, but why are there only members of the Clean Clothes Faction here, with not a single disciple of the Filthy Clothes Faction in sight?" Tang Zhong still asked with some confusion.

Since the timber issue was resolved, Shen Yang agreed on a time with Bai Yueshu, setting the price at a twenty percent markup above their wholesale cost.

The scraping sound of the inkstone merged with the sound of rain, tranquil yet seemingly imbued with some other meaning within that tranquility, leaving him somewhat dazed.

As for whether Chu Ke would renege on the deal after taking the goods, the Yang family had no alternative. After all, they were already prisoners and could only make one final gamble.

Ma Weidu felt a slight internal surprise, but said nothing as he walked over to the pile of furniture and began picking through it.

There was no help for it; in an ancient world like this, there were no recreational activities—especially at night, which Li Yang found exceptionally boring.

In his opinion, all domestic blockbuster films shared the exact same virtue: first gathering a crowd of stars, then pooling a mountain of investments, regardless of what was actually being filmed.

All of these required contribution points to redeem usage time, and they were essentially reserved for official members.

In truth, being a paparazzo was extremely difficult. You had to constantly maintain your faith, firmly believing that what you were doing was beneficial to the public.

Recalling the events that had transpired earlier, along with his continuous observation of Ah Xing, Li Yang conjured a vial of bright red blood in his palm.

"What is the matter with you, girl? Can't you show some understanding for your father?" Bai Shixiao naturally fell right back into character.

Most of these materials were used in the construction of the sect's headquarters. With the incorporation of such materials, the subsequent arrays could greatly enhance the barrier against spiritual sense detection.

Therefore, in recent years, Big Brother Cheng had not allowed Jaycee Fong to participate much in film and television, preferring him to take over his own business instead.
