Twenty-six whales

Four fissures radiated from the spearhead as the ground beneath shattered like broken glass. An invisible force then swept up the earthen fragments, hurling them toward Guan Yu.

It was now confirmed that the nepotism within Xinruifeng was absolute, as everyone knew its predecessor was the old Yihe organization.

A moment later, he cast an unwilling glance at Murong Che, who looked as though he had achieved his goal, and had no choice but to bid Su Ying farewell and depart.

The sonic boom reverberated for kilometers, shattering and dispersing the surrounding chill. Deep furrows cracked across the frozen ground. As You Chi brought his beastly claws crashing down, a thunderous roar erupted, leaving the earth riddled with fissures and collapsing into deep craters.

A month had passed, and although he had adapted to the rhythm of a workload so immense that not even a second of sleep could finish it, the burden remained.

If this task could be accomplished, would Yuzhang Commandery ever worry about money again? Lu Su and Liu Ye would surely be desperate to have him mint currency.

"Bang!" A violent flash of fire erupted. The Swift Ghost, which had barely managed to squeeze through, was instantly blown to pieces, its blood and viscera splattering in every direction.

On his camera, there was a spot that was neither too clear nor too blurry.

Perhaps only Sun Yan himself could maintain such a massive, perception-based technique. It drained his internal energy every single moment; had he not been able to absorb energy autonomously, he could not have persisted for long, and his Domain of Ice would have become nothing more than a hollow name.

So many days had passed, and yet Aisi had not taken the initiative to seek him out. What was to be done?

Having spent days and nights caring for Mo Ningxuan while constantly channeling spiritual energy into her body, Feng Yu’s own complexion was no better than that of his patient.

Seeing Ruo'er carry the soup away, Ning Wu turned to glance at Consort Yu. The consort returned a smile; though it seemed somewhat strained, the fleeting expression did not escape Ning Wu's notice.

The jade pendant hanging at his waist was dazzling in the dim room. It was a crimson ring, red as blood, faintly wreathed in a green mist that looked eerily supernatural.

"I think... Peerless Wolf Smoke is actually quite handsome," the Snow Elf remarked, shocking everyone present. Peerless Wolf Smoke was indeed good-looking, and it would have been normal for anyone else to say so, but for it to come from the Snow Elf was truly strange.

"Brother Feng, Brother Su, hello!" Ling'er was not particularly fond of Feng Shen and A-Su. Having fought alongside them on Mount Emei and interacted with them frequently, she remained very polite toward them.

"By what right do you stop me from leaving?" For the first time, Ning Baobei shouted at Nangong Jin, losing control.

"Then let us begin." The Snow Elf’s mature, commanding voice was familiar to many; it was her signature.

"What is it? After you gave it to me yesterday, I kept it against my chest. In the night, I felt a faint suction, which then stopped. Although it was weak, I believe it was absorbing the energy within me." Feng Yu recalled the events of the previous day, a thoughtful look crossing her face.

"Girl, where is your surprise?" Duan Chengyu did not see anything unexpected. His lips curled into a playful smile as he looked at Su Nuannuan.

"It is like this... This morning, I went to the spirit fields to inspect the growth of the spirit grains and medicinal herbs as usual, but to my surprise, a large area had been utterly destroyed... I dare not conceal this, and I beg the Valley Master for punishment." Gasping for air to steady his breathing, the disciple continued.

Qin Bing dodged flying boulders and flaming oil while swinging his weapon to fend off the birds and beasts diving from above. Blood rained over the city walls; feathers and arrows filled the sky. Some of the catapults were knocked askew or torn apart by the creatures’ impact, ceasing their barrage against the Xiongnu below. The situation had spiraled out of control.

"Hey! I didn't know building a road would cost one or two million," Qi Mingjun said, setting down his chopsticks and lowering his head.

So it was when I lost consciousness in this city last time! The barbarian had a sudden realization. This creature must have been one of the mind flayers that had surrounded him then.

An invisible yet terrifying force pierced his brain, "viewing" all his memories.

The young master did not answer. He looked around, and just as he was about to speak, his body trembled, and he collapsed onto one knee.

As the words faded, petals suddenly converged into a graceful, curvaceous silhouette. With a flash of soft light, a stunning beauty draped in red floral feathers descended proudly before the team with a smile.

"Instead, he follows that ghost, running everywhere! Whenever he sees food, he pounces and eats non-stop! Anderson is worried to death over this!" Anderson replied, torn between laughter and tears.

Furthermore, since one of the culprits behind the destruction of the Tianhuan Sect hailed from the Hundred Beasts Sect, this affair could be treated entirely as "compensation."

Qi Niang felt the remark was strange but did not dwell on it. Xie Ling had just said she had never eaten it before, yet now she claimed she had; did she have it or not?

The ferryman spoke, his wrinkled face betraying neither joy nor sorrow. Having reached a ripe age and working a trade that ferried people to and fro, he had seen all kinds of people and experienced all kinds of things.

"Ruojun, come with me for a trip," Guan Peng said with a fawning smile, offering a cigarette, but the other party ignored him entirely.

Mother Song was busy fussing over her son, eager to put the best food on the table into his bowl.

Yi Siling sensed a hint of displeasure, a warning, and a subtle, guarded wariness in his tone. She did not understand why these emotions would arise during her very first meeting with Xie Zhiqi.

The Binhai Conservatory of Music was among the top-tier institutions, and the only reason the original owner had chosen this school was that it was far enough from home that her family could not easily reach out to interfere.

After the final mission ended, her most trusted teammate fired a fatal shot into her back.

"It's fine, girl. Take your time thinking; I'll take you for a drive first," Yin Ruojun said with an enigmatic smile.

During its first week of release, poor word-of-mouth from critics led to abysmal box office numbers. It only became a classic in film history later, purely on the strength of its own quality and reputation.

"Butler Chen, you've come all this way, and we have no tea to offer. Once our clan's oil mill is built, I will send you the very first jar. Please don't look down on it when the time comes," Qian Guihua said with a hearty laugh.

Lin Xia happened to encounter the two trump cards from the other two countries. They had assumed he was the "weak horse" in a horse-racing strategy, but Lin Xia dismantled them on the spot, preventing them from ever utilizing their capabilities as generals.

He saw black-clad figures appearing in the void all around him, like dark clouds rolling across the horizon, pressing in with overwhelming force.
