“Shen Hanyu?” Su Ye had barely spoken when Ju Qinghou’s roar filled the entire room. “Do you really think you can save her?” As he spoke, he reached for the lighter.
The days passed one by one, and before long, the ninth day arrived. All the shareholders of the Mo Group had come, with the exception of Mo Chenlu. Her absence would have no effect whatsoever on the board of directors; after all, her decisions had never once differed from Mo Chenhai’s.
Yang Han furrowed his brow. If that was truly the case, then it was extremely dangerous. But there was nothing he could do. At present, he could not get close to his opponent, which meant he had no way to use the Soul-Eating Divine Sword to launch the most direct attack.
Shu Lü was genuinely astonished. She could never have imagined that a man like Emperor Xingyao would do something so romantic. Moreover, her instincts told her that although the secluded Treasure Origin Hall was kept spotlessly clean, hardly anyone actually entered it.
As for Plant Summoning, although it was also tremendously powerful, it had its limitations. Freedom of movement was a major problem. It was useful for surprise attacks, but in a proper battle, Plant Summoning might not be able to stand against a Battle Sovereign.
Madam Song immediately put on the robes of an imperial noblewoman and entered the palace with Song Huakun to pay her respects to the emperor. They reported that Wen Yu was pregnant and implored him, out of consideration for a parent’s love and a married couple’s affection, to allow Wen Yu to remain with the Song family rather than forcing husband and wife to separate and parent and child to be parted.
Xu Yichen suddenly lunged forward, driving the police officer and his shield into the wall. He brought his sword down in a cleaving strike, then spun and swept it sideways. After sheathing the blade, he thrust straight ahead; as the thrust ended, he followed through with a brutal blow against the swordsman who had just been kicked aside.
Xu Yichen moved at once. A Hammer of Wrath landed precisely along Xie Feng’s path, stunning him on the spot. At the same time, Xu Yichen cast Devotion.
That day, countless people witnessed the Netherworld Demon Venerable’s overwhelming demonic might. Though he had returned with one arm severed, his power had not diminished in the slightest—instead, it had grown even more terrifying.
“Destroy it for me!” The Tusita Divine Flame might have appeared fierce, but after suppressing the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Demons for so many years, had it not also been sealed by that divine fire? Now it was exceedingly weak. After Gan Ping repeatedly outmaneuvered it, it finally let out a mournful cry and was devoured whole by the fire dragon.
On another note, Liu Shiba wanted to see, at the critical moment when life and death were at stake, just how many people would stubbornly stand on his side.
According to the rules of the competition, the first round was an open selection. One hundred contestants would fight in a free-for-all, with only one advancing to the elimination rounds. They would continue competing round by round until the final match.

Li Haibo’s expression was grave. It was not that there was no way to stop the poisonous mist, but those methods were meant for resisting armies of sea demons and high-level monsters.
Ordinary villagers from the mountains would have been terrified out of their wits at the sight of a fully armed military force. How could they possibly be like these people?
After he left, Tang Hao began refining pills. He brought out a golden cauldron, added the ingredients, fused them together, and then tempered the mixture. The process flowed seamlessly. After five full days of tempering, the first batch of pills was complete.
“More importantly, this armor is a standardized design and can be mass-produced. In a single year, five or six suits can be forged.” The envoy shouted excitedly once more.
Even a princess had to face the choice that came with being an Awakened: whether to side with the Mafia or the Security Bureau. Of course, there was another option—to seek the protection of Radiance Academy and become a hunter as an Awakened, or take up a teaching position there.
The two people on the bridge did not come down to inspect anything. A clatter suddenly sounded above, followed by what seemed to be the sliding door of a vehicle opening. It was probably a van. Then came the sound of shoe soles scraping against the ground. Whoever was up there had probably been unconscious for quite some time.
In the end, after Lü Hanqiang accepted his lesson in fear and trembling, admitted his mistakes, and promised to obey his mother from then on, the old woman finally concluded, “My son is destined to accomplish great things in the future. He must always govern himself according to the principles of a gentleman.” By then, Chen Liang was drenched in sweat, his legs trembling uncontrollably.
Indeed, this was a massive project. Money was being squandered everywhere, especially in places no one could see. All along, Chou Erdan had believed that he was exceptionally skilled at brainwashing others and that his efforts had been remarkably successful.
Mo Ziye had just poured himself a cup of boiling water when he saw Lu Jianhao and Guo Li walk in. He merely nodded and said nothing.
Yaya was studying so diligently that Wang Jieren and Wang Jiechu now had even more reason to study. If even a clever girl like Yaya worked so hard, then idiots like them had all the more reason to learn. Even if it used a little extra electricity, it was hardly worth worrying about.
That was what people said, but among stars of the same caliber and following similar career paths, refusing to meet after becoming famous was an ironclad rule of the industry. Ning Ke might not be as popular as Qiao Fei at present, but forget asking her to play a supporting role for Qiao Fei—even if she were invited to make a guest appearance in one of Qiao Fei’s works, she probably would not agree, much less open a studio with her.
“What happened?” Hill could tell from their expressions that something had gone wrong, but she could not understand what they were saying and therefore had no idea what had happened.

When Shui Weiping heard Situ Chen say that the Trace-less Buddha Petal truly existed, she could no longer remain calm. She rose to her feet, dropped to her knees with a thud, and addressed Situ Chen.
“That is not what I meant. It’s just… if it isn’t real, then we should not waste time and should think of another way.” Although Asura was explaining himself, it was obvious that this was still what he meant.
“All right.” A faint flicker appeared in Liu Ju’s eyes, like starlight briefly glimmering and fading. He covered the corners of his mouth, concealing a smile that was barely there.
Su Ning stood at the entrance of Martial Spirit Academy, staring at the gilded characters on the signboard. For a moment, she seemed lost in a daze.
“Then could you stop treating me like a princess? You do not have to be so formal. Could you regard me as a friend?” Bai Mingshan waited nervously for his answer.
To be honest, it was only now that I felt my story was something of a light comedy. After all, it contained no plots of lovers turning against each other, such as A Jin and Cang Huan becoming enemies, or Kong Mei and my elder brother turning against one another.
Now, with the advancement of the times, the two largest organizations had merged into one. Their scale had not been reduced; instead, they had continued to grow. It was only in recent years that they had begun turning their attention overseas, gradually fading from the public eye.
Afterward, she left with her face flushed, suppressing the heat in her heart. It seemed that tonight was destined to be another sleepless night.
When Xu Zhenhua said this, a trace of heartache appeared on his face—or rather, it would have been more accurate to call it a lecherous leer.
Because they were in an enclosed space, the lion’s roar was especially loud, and the echo lingered for an exceptionally long time.
