Volume 1, Chapter 51: You Still Want Me to Act with Him

Jian Rushi once again slipped into a state of unconsciousness, but the Nine Yin True Qi within her body began to circulate automatically, completely relieving her of any mortal danger.

Although Zhong Hongli did not understand why Madam Meng had changed her mind so abruptly, he had no desire to probe deeply into the matter and simply nodded in compliance.

At this moment, the plaza was already thronged with people. Upon seeing Liu Xuan, they no longer cast those alienating, sidelong glances at him; instead, their faces were filled with reverence. From time to time, individuals stepped forward to greet him, and Liu Xuan responded with utmost politeness, appearing remarkably calm and serene.

Initially, Zuo Qiu and the others had still intended to put up a fight, but with merely a casual glance from their opponent, Zuo Qiu and his companions felt as though they had plunged into a demonic abyss, utterly incapable of generating any will to resist. Consequently, they could only watch helplessly as that demonic cultivator strode away with an air of arrogant pride.

This system upgrade had also clarified the concept of a "benefactor," making it clear that opportunities and fortuitous encounters were not limited to "precious items"—benefactors were also considered a form of destiny.

"This deity is somewhat tired and will not personally see you esteemed sect masters off!" With that, Mo Qingyan addressed the gathering of sect masters and strode away.

Although he had initially looked down upon Chen Tianze as well, through continued contact, he had gradually been won over by Chen Tianze's capabilities, while fully understanding the significance of winning Chen Tianze over to the Song family.

Song Jinzhi was remarkably serious for once today. He had spent the entire previous night racking his brains, utterly failing to understand why Shang Yu, as the crown prince of a nation, would take the initiative to request the son of an official from a fallen state to serve as his junior tutor, especially when that person bore the heavy stigma of treason and colluding with the enemy.

Yin Zhuo spent three days finding fourteen candidates. Mo Huaiyu reviewed their dossiers and then had Yin Zhuo and the others test their martial arts proficiency.

Furthermore, this was done right in front of Xue Tongtian, and the target was even an elder of the Blood Fiend Sect—a glaring and deliberate act of provocation.

Quenching improves the hardness of steel only marginally, just by a tiny fraction, but its enhancement of toughness and durability is exceptionally pronounced.

Zihan then stepped to Lin Hao's right front, channeled her internal energy through both hands, and began tracing graceful arcs in the empty air before her! Her inner Qi outlined a series of brilliant, glowing patterns in the space ahead, rendering them vividly distinct.

"Actually, the method you've thought of is not bad at all, but judging by the outcome, it doesn't seem very promising," Spade muttered to himself.

Based on her experience, it would take Po Jun several days and nights just to select a suitable Earth-grade soul skill; even once selected, extracting it from the barrier would be a slow, grinding process of attrition.

The development of an island and the development of a continent are two entirely different concepts. Living on an island is no easy feat, and land is the most crucial resource. Every single patch of land must be guaranteed rational utilization without the slightest bit of waste. This is beyond question; otherwise, it would adversely affect the entire development of the Dinghai Navy.

"Of course! If anyone turns out to be a coward, I'll be the first one not to let them off," the towering divine-patterned martial warrior rumbled in a deep voice.

Ye Haoxuan clenched his fists tightly, believing that he should immediately impart this news to all ninth-tier cultivators who possessed divine artifacts.

Under Bing Zixuan's continuous, fierce onslaught, Hua Ziman felt that carrying on this way was untenable. With a flick of her wrist, she cast a dark shadow that shrouded herself.

These two disciples, both hailing from the First Academy of Iron-Blood Town, would face yet another massive turning point in their lives seven days later.

"Senior Giant Axe!" Cheng Buyun said with a polite bow, walking over with a beaming smile alongside his teacher.

Faced with the sarcastic remarks, cold sneers, and even verbal abuse from various factions, Concubine Shu and her son wore expressions of extreme ugliness, trembling all over with rage.

Louis and Yezi disguised themselves as a pair of college student lovers hunting for treasures, wearing trendy masks, and followed them closely at a moderate distance.

Yu Ze's entire body was instantly sent flying backward through the air, yet Lin Yi pressed his advantage relentlessly, closing in step-by-step with the silver needles in his hand.

Perhaps because it was a double-occupancy lodging, their quarters here were somewhat larger than those in the Guardian Protagonist City.

The buzzing, droning sound of a hair dryer echoed as Mo Chen closed his laptop, massaged his brow, stepped out onto the balcony, and lit a cigarette.

They had also brewed a pot of cheese and dried-meat soup, and Wukong, recalling Zhuoma's invention, tossed in a few pieces of chocolate.

"Thirteen years ago, Yang Yinan from Sujing was on the verge of getting married when she accidentally discovered that the blood type of the fetus in her womb did not match that of her boyfriend. At that time, the fetus was only seven months along. Yang Yinan broke up with her boyfriend and went traveling. She met a friend. She gave birth to a baby boy at Tianlun Temple."

It must be known that when he issued the order, although Wei Xian did not voice any complaints, the emperor still sensed a hint of reluctance from him.

"Nothing. You just focus on your IV drip, I'm hanging up now, bye." Upon hearing Shen Qinghu say that, Zhan Liu immediately cut the connection, stroking his chin as he pondered how to save his own neck.

The difference between a sky burial and a water burial lies in this: a sky burial feeds the deceased to vultures, symbolizing ascent to heaven and rebirth into the blissful Western Paradise; a water burial feeds them to fish, signifying descent into hell and entry into the cycle of reincarnation.

It was not that he distrusted his subordinate brothers, but doing this would give him a greater sense of security, while also enabling him to formulate corresponding countermeasures at the very first moment when facing unexpected situations.

After a slight pause, Yafei was instead roused to a fighting spirit! For a master of his caliber, finding a suitable opponent was truly difficult. Yet the Ye Zheng before him was undoubtedly an "ideal" opponent in Yafei's eyes.

Although Mu Tou stood in a position where the Rampaging Tree Demon could crush him with a mere stomp of its foot, Mu Tou felt not the slightest bit of fear. Slinging his energy-titanium heavy saber across his back, he scrambled upward with all his might, just like Lu Jun.

"However, I do know some people and am aware of a method that can help you fish in troubled waters and safely pass through the teleportation array. But the reward required for this method is quite high; I'm not sure if you want to hear it." After babbling on for quite a while, Baffi finally brought the conversation back to the main point.
