Chapter 36

Mo Zun turned his head away. The impact of Rong Qian’s gaze stirred within him a sudden, dark thought: such beauty should not exist in this world; she ought to fall into the same endless abyss of darkness as he.

"Haha, Brother Xue, rest assured. This establishment is second to none in Nanzhan County. If we do not have what you seek, there is no point in looking anywhere else!" Shi Jiangyou spoke with absolute confidence.

Gongs and drums thundered, firecrackers crackled, red banners fluttered, and crowds surged as the city celebrated Huo Yixin’s record of placing first in twelve consecutive major examinations, officially bestowing upon him the title of "Saint of Examinations."

On the first day of the third lunar month that same year, Xiao Liang breached the Daoma Pass, entered the capital, ascended the Golden Throne, paid homage at the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and declared himself Emperor from the south.

He turned his head slightly to glance at the long-range sniper still concealed behind grey strips of cloth in the rear, breaking into a cold sweat. The opponent’s arrow was truly insidious, fired at Suha in such a manner that he was clearly being used as a shield.

With a loud boom, frost materialized from nowhere to entrap the shadow's feet, slowly creeping upward. Unable to break free, the shadow let out a hollow, desperate moan.

Massagers Da Mei and Lin Jün stepped in, working on the fatigued players' muscles. Huo Yuchan followed suit.

A steady drizzle fell through the night. As the sky turned a pale, fish-belly white at dawn, Mo Zun, clad in a hotel bathrobe, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, his dark, brooding eyes fixed on the Nanjiang River veiled in morning mist.

Yingying, in a state of daze, wondered to herself why the servants at the Zhou household were carrying torches to welcome her back instead of lanterns.

At this very moment, they were within the Floating City of the Four Seas, the territory of the "Alliance of the Four Seas," the number one guild in the Spirit Realm. No matter how unfathomable Zhu Sha’s power might be, if this matter could not be resolved peacefully today, escape would be impossible.

"I have already said, there is no betrayal to speak of. I am merely an undercover agent!" Bai Yufan said with a smile.

Noticing Li Zhishi staring at her, Luo Can glared back without hesitation, though after a few breaths, she began to sense something was amiss.

"You can try, but I guarantee the one who falls will be you." Su Shengchen spoke in Korean, drawing gasps of surprise from the manufacturers.

Indeed, obtaining a system is much like winning the lottery. For most, a massive windfall is a catastrophe; the sudden wealth muddles their minds, and once it is squandered, they are left with nothing but empty walls.

"Look!" Tatanier pointed forward in surprise. In the most hidden spot beneath the cliff, there was a stone door, which meant that behind it must lie a secret refuge.

"I haven't complained that you've made my city restless, yet you're complaining about me?" Jia Zhengjin felt aggrieved.

"This lowly servant dares not speak further; the King's decision is undoubtedly the best choice," the eunuch behind him replied with a bow.

We went to great lengths to slay the S-rank Energy Crystal Beast, and you intend to simply snatch our hard-earned spoils with a few flippant words?

As it turned out, Chen Zui’s hopes were too high. For two straight days, there was no movement from Vanna or Aunt Yin Yang. They went to work and returned home as usual; the surface of the water remained undisturbed.

"Never mention money to a brother who lives and dies with you, and never speak of gratitude. Once you leave, stay away from the gun." Hearing the rustling footsteps outside the door, Field quickly lay down.

The Nofelle family adopted this standard. In the eyes of both parties, the Haotian Tower above Tang Yani’s head marked her as a standard Nascent Soul stage expert of the Eastern cultivation world.

On the large bed, only a lifeless Bai Xue faced a flickering lamp.

That morning, when Huang Hua first saw Bai Xue emerge from the thin morning mist, he recognized her instantly.

Of course, she had no evidence now, so anything she said was useless. Moreover, she knew that today, she was truly finished; everything was over.

Wang Tianxu swept his divine sense over the area and found that the two corpses were devoid of life; they were clearly cultivators who had been dead for quite some time. Though he knew they were corpses, the world held too many strange occurrences, so he felt compelled to confirm it to ensure his own safety.

The Yue family was a formidable force. After the Yue household servants arrived to reinforce them, not a single one of those daring bandits escaped. They were now bundled together and tossed on the ground, begging for mercy. As for Yue Le, because it remained unclear whether his actions had provoked the enemy, he was ordered to kneel in the main hall to repent the moment he returned home.

Sun Hong clearly had not given up; he continued to press the issue, evidently desperate to curry favor.

Wang Tianxu paid no mind to their expressions; he descended, scouted the surroundings for a moment, and then nodded to the people in the air.

To her, it was simple. In the Void Realm, where time did not flow and space had no orientation, the wind blades were imprisoned the moment they approached Luan Zhi, along with the spiritual energy controlling them. When they were flung back out, their power remained identical to what it had been before entering.

The term "Jinong" is a Mongolian transliteration of the title for the Prince of Jin. Since both Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Gaozong of Tang held the title of Prince of Jin before ascending to the throne, the term was adopted into the Mongolian language as a title for noble leaders, equivalent to a Crown Prince or Vice-Khan.

It would be impossible for the four major powers not to covet such a massive piece of fat with such high profit margins.

Lady Mu was expressionless at first, but as she listened, she could no longer hold back. Xiao Xiao’s words left her weeping, filled with sorrow.

Following this, Tang Xuerou felt a stream of pure True Essence flowing from Zhang Xiaofeng’s hand into her body, a gentle force that began to expand and reinforce the meridians throughout her entire body.

By simply circulating her own mental cultivation method, she could draw the nutrients her body required directly from the heavens and earth.

On the second floor of the Magic Spire, the Blue Truth organization had established a similar incubation chamber. If that failed, they could always purchase a full set of technology from the black market; there was no fear of failing to hatch them.

After all, Pigsy was a high-ranking official who had spent years navigating the bureaucracy of the Celestial Court, so he had quite a bit of experience with "endurance." He decided to remain calm and swallow his pride, intending to kill that damned monkey with a single strike of his rake when a golden opportunity arose.

Zhang You was startled; he had not expected that Li Shuo and Li Wan were not biological sisters, but he did not interrupt, choosing instead to listen intently.
