This is Shanxiu Village.

Every single one of these sacrificial rites is indispensable; otherwise, the Faceless Man's soul will scatter and perish, and the skinning process will be considered a failure.

No sooner had Shorty finished speaking than Blue-Hair, Yellow-Hair, and Brown-Hair all pounced on him together, delivering a fierce and chaotic barrage of punches and kicks. Knowing he was outmatched, Shorty curled up tightly on the ground, using both arms to firmly protect his head—a maneuver born of experience.

However, after taking just two or three steps, two figures in plain-clothed black suddenly emerged right in front of them. Both wore black night-crawling suits, face masks, and black baseball caps, making them look unlike anyone belonging to this base.

The head of the Li family had dominated Cathay for decades, repeatedly claiming the throne of the wealthiest man among the Chinese diaspora. He relied entirely on his reputation and personal integrity. He rarely gave his word lightly, but once spoken, he would never go back on it. Within the Li family, Zhang Zhongxun held a status equal to that of the family head, so how could Li Dongying ever dare to offend him?

He glanced around, lowered his voice, and said to me, "To be frank with you, I have heard Elder Peng say more than once how wonderful it would be if corpses could speak and possess thoughts. Now that you have actually managed to conjure up a speaking corpse, it is nothing short of a massive shock to Elder Peng."

"The Palace Master's intention... is that the Heavenly Master Tao is also emerging from seclusion!" A wave of commotion swept through the great hall.

To me, underworld money was completely unspendable, and it was far too stiff to even use as toilet paper when treated as scrap paper, so I felt even less psychological pressure.

With a resounding crash, the palm Yi Ruoran had pressed against Long Yan's back was blasted away. With a humming vibration, that immense aura of slaughter filled her with a deep sense of dread. Following Long Yan's body, the divine dragon surged and roared, giving her a feeling of suffocation and even total subjugation.

Later on, however, Yun Shang never returned from an excursion, and a rumor gradually spread throughout the Celestial Realm that Yun Shang had gone to explore beyond the universe and had likely fallen victim to unknown dangers.

Only upon arriving here did Han Wang realize that the million residents of Tokyo City wished they could all cram into this place; there were simply far too many people. Adhering to the principles of a bodyguard, he dared not bring the emperor to such a location under any circumstances.

Shui Ling'er broke away from Liu Qi's lips, yet still buried herself in Liu Qi's embrace, her back turned to Ruan Yingyu. Tears streamed down continuously like a cascading waterfall.

Faced with this sudden change, Meng Xiongfei could not help but be truly startled. He hurriedly tilted his head back to dodge. Yet the fierce wind whipped up by the silver spear as it flashed past was so sharp it stung his face like actual blades of wind.

When a hundred-odd old veterans resembling ghosts, swinging flails, appeared in Yanjing Square, tens of thousands of Yanjing citizens were filled with rage.

Having slain him, Ye Tian charged straight ahead to slaughter the remaining demon powerhouses.

Seeing the Eagle Clan's demon king about to strike, Mu Xiaotian let out a loud shout, "Wait!" For some reason, this single shout actually made the demon king pause, staring blankly at him with a bewildered expression, completely at a loss for meaning.

Han Shizhong rolled his eyes and asked, "Second brother, once these two thousand warhorses are in our hands, should we keep Dashijie? This fellow is clearly a formidable warlord of his generation; keeping him around will always be a hazard." Trading strategic materials privately with the Liao Dynasty constituted treason, and Han Shizhong wanted to leave no loose ends for Han Wang.

The monkey king looked at Meng Xiongfei, watching the overwhelming rocks and dirt hurtle toward him, triumph already visible in its eyes. To its disappointment, however, it saw no panic in Meng Xiongfei's eyes; instead, it saw the exact same triumph.

Everything transpired in half the blink of an eye. Within that fleeting fraction of a second, the flesh puppet materialized beside Zhan Lingjia, directly striking his physical body and spirit, piercing through his entire world, destroying all his core systems, and then calmly departing.

Once they passed the twenty-meter mark, Gatling slowed down slightly, pacing side by side with Crawford and Xie Chunfeng.

If only I possessed some kind of ability. At this moment, instead of just running away constantly, An Ruo also thought that if she could help Lu Ling, it would be a wonderful thing.

The system gave no response, directly transforming into a black beetle that flew onto Xiu Chen's forehead. A beam of light instantly projected from the beetle's back, forming a light screen. Upon the screen appeared scenes of the Asura clan slaughtering innocent mortals, and then the picture shifted to show the Fourth Young Master snatching a child of the Pipa clan.

Su Yueyue froze instantly, her mind going completely blank, leaving behind only Mo Xuan's sincere words echoing in her brain.

Mu Wan said, "Rencheng, aren't we going to be together forever? Once we enter the Weak Water, no one will ever be able to tear us apart."

Before long, the paupers finished packing their belongings and flooded the entire street, their faces beaming with joy as they chatted and whispered to each other. Old Ghost Head and Rat cradled a few children, leading the procession in a grand march toward the Colosseum in the Central District. The group slowly passed through the checkpoint and entered the Central District.

Hearing this, Xiao Yuyin was visibly stunned. She raised her head to look at him, her dark jade-like eyes filled with utter astonishment.

This scroll, or rather talisman, had taken him over two years of gathering materials before it was successfully refined.

Even though the final bullet had already dropped to the ground, a muffled groan came from the assassin hiding in the shadows, clearly indicating a hit.

This also turned the two open-air stadiums into the only loss-making ventures for the "Yangyang Group."

Sasuke's vision became exceptionally sharp, and the surrounding scene slowed down drastically. Within mere seconds, Sasuke had devised a countermeasure.

After all, the Uchiha clan had been one of the founders of Konoha, so getting themselves ranked among the elders was a very simple matter.

Their Spirit Clan had directly become a part of the Light Space. This ball of flame knew quite a lot; this Four Symbols Sealing Land had appeared abruptly a million years ago, directly covering the supply channel.

Shielded from the consciousnesses of numerous immortals and deities, Wang Mu was still unaware that a major event had transpired within the Three Realms. He advanced toward the outer realms alongside the Heavens-Connecting Vine.

When Jiang Zhihao said this, he was merely mentioning it in passing, having no real intention of defeating the Judge using his own brute strength.

Beating it continuously like this for three full days and nights directly refined the eight beast-headed bronze pillars into a glowing crimson copper. Simultaneously, the divine essences of the eight great divine beasts were thoroughly forged into the bronze pillars.
