Chapter 39
Naturally, it was Gu Xinglang. The Qi Kingdom sought to exile the Ruan clan, but the royal house resisted, leading to a war that ultimately brought about their downfall.
The Earth-Shaking Bear struck the ground violently, causing jagged rock spikes to erupt instantly beneath Shen Longxuan’s feet. Faced with these two lethal attacks, he had no choice but to soar into the sky.
"The Lord treats Lady Pei with sincere and deep affection. Chun Yue hopes that you, my Lady, feel the same." She looked at her, the moonlight reflecting in their eyes, making them exceptionally bright, even ethereal.
042 watched everything in terror, then shifted his gaze with difficulty toward the old man. The old man seemed to sense his stare and offered 042 a ghastly smile.
Shangguan Shuo was a man of few words; he would never use a sentence if a word would suffice, nor a paragraph if a sentence would do. In Murong Xun’s memory, this was the longest speech he had ever given.
Previously, due to his low cultivation, he hadn't noticed, but now, following his breakthrough, Shen Longxuan finally perceived the secret: all the Dragon Pulse energy he had refined during this period had been gathered around his mind.
"This..." Xie Duo had not expected Jiang Jinshang to believe such nonsense. Just as he was about to explain, a fit of violent coughing interrupted him.
It appeared that Ji Wuyas, having been refined into a corpse puppet, possessed only the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, just as he had previously surmised.
The North Snow Saint Lord put away the scroll and took out a brocade box. When he opened it, a brilliant radiance suffused the heavens and the earth, and a refreshing fragrance wafted toward them. It was a medicinal pill, yet it stirred a sense of greed in many, as if they wished to inhale more of its scent.
Li Yuyun had been closely observing Chu Li’s movements. When she saw this sudden punch, an intense feeling of danger surged in her heart. She did not hesitate, hurriedly pulling back while simultaneously extending her palm to deflect the blow.
In such situations, the Main Brain would provide an "assignment prop" to ensure the "feasibility" of the mission.
This blow was Chu Li’s strongest, for after unleashing it, not only did his face turn pale, but a wave of exhaustion washed over him.

Li Tai, hearing Su Jiu’s words, hesitated for a moment before slowly leading the others away, leaving only the two venerables in the arena.
"Rest assured, although we are practitioners of the Dao, I am naturally aware of these things. Honorable State Preceptor, please rest easy. Today, we saw nothing and heard nothing. How about that?" Yuan Shoucheng said calmly.
Crusaders clad in steel armor were engaged in a frenzied battle against the Dark Word Army, who wore similar attire but in darker hues. The steel bridge was divided into left and right flanks, representing the battlefield of the stronghold.
It was unclear what arrangements the Governor of Gourmet Star would make, but it seemed the competition could no longer continue.
This opportunity lay with Nan Wuxiang. Just as the Celestial Master’s Mansion kept a constant watch on the Danhui Sect, the Danhui Sect also kept a vigilant eye on the Celestial Master’s Mansion. The trajectories of the several Dao-entering experts from the Celestial Master’s Mansion were all known to the Danhui Sect, leaving no room for surprise attacks. However, Nan Wuxiang was a master whom no one outside the Celestial and Earth Master’s Mansions had ever seen.
News that the kings had gathered at the Gate of Desire had long since spread throughout the ancient continent of Xinglan. The Demon Capital, the Gate of Desire, was in an uproar; countless devout pilgrims flocked to the massive city to behold the glory of the Holy Emperor and the Holy Kings.
The Master of the Screen, after leaving Xihe Peak, headed toward Mud Bottle Mountain. However, having traveled barely a thousand miles past Shuli Mountain, he sensed a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy behind him. Turning back, he saw the sky in the distance flickering between light and dark, shifting in a myriad of ways.
For all these years, Lu Boting’s appearance had not changed in the slightest; the only shift was in his increasingly composed and steady demeanor.
I clutched my abdomen and frowned; waves of dull pain shot through my nerves, and before long, sweat broke out on my forehead.
The director’s brow twitched as well. Looking down, he discovered that only Mi Si, Jiao Jiao, and Ke Ke had replied to him.
Lucius compared the seed quality from several stalls and eventually purchased the seeds they needed at a reasonable price.
Besides, with Auntie Zhang there, I could righteously refuse Meng Yin’s daily visits to my home to cook.

The two sides exchanged brief pleasantries before Tian Zhong took his leave. Now that the Five Elements Essence was complete, he could begin condensing the Five Elements Saint Body.
The more she thought this way, the more Ye Li’s initially stiff movements gradually relaxed. Her tongue tip emerged, carefully tracing the contours of his thin lips.
As he was speaking, someone happened to walk into the shop, but he paid no attention, continuing his tiresome chatter.
Even now, Jiang Qingwan felt that her ability to carve out a path in the chaotic entertainment industry was due to her own talent.
The Queen Bee was already weakened after laying her eggs. Having previously launched a ferocious soul scream and used immense soul power to seal the hive, she was now at the end of her tether. Red light flickered in her twelve compound eyes; she had no strength left to launch a second attack.
He picked up his phone, and upon opening it, saw a Weibo notification. Someone had tagged him. He had previously ordered people to keep an eye on Ling Tanxue, so whenever there was news, he would be notified.
"Trade." Zi Luo needed this pill too desperately. If he had to go get something else, given how stubborn the man was, he might not be willing to trade again. Better to avoid immediate loss and focus on breaking through first.
"Of course. Which man who has seen our Gege has not fallen for her charms? Our Gege never looked at them before, yet she insisted on marrying the Beile as a secondary wife. I truly feel it’s unworthy of her," A-Luo said.
