After receiving Uncle Pan Si’s orders, Pan Yuan personally escorted Qin Chen to Huai Prefecture, so Qin Chen no longer traveled with Du Deyue.

“Useless? What happened?” Simon found it strange. The roots of the Immortal’s Hand in the crystal ball were growing perfectly well; in a few more days, they would be ready to separate into individual pots.

Cheng Jingchuan looked at Meng Qimo in astonishment. He had not moved because he was certain he had hidden the object extremely well. Even if Mister Qiu had guessed that the opium poppies were in the cellar, he would have no way of finding them in a short time.

Simon felt utterly hopeless. Was he really this useless? He had been cultivating for half a year, yet the only thing he could do with magic was light a cigarette. Meanwhile, a frog had mastered formal magic after only two months—and even mutated. Was there no justice in the world?

With that, he collapsed onto the floor with a thud. Over on the other side, Xia Yi released his grip, and the frying pan fell to the ground as well. As if he had exhausted every last ounce of strength, he toppled backward and fainted once more.

Park Changji suddenly emerged in the distance and gave everyone a gesture indicating that it was safe. Only then did they follow him forward with peace of mind.

“No, no, absolutely not! I’m still a virgin—I’m completely innocent!” Wan Miao hurriedly waved his hands in explanation, his face already bright red. Wu Yingying, who stood nearby, also flushed as she looked at Wan Miao, then burst into laughter.

The lamp post Xia Yi was swinging traced an increasingly broad arc. His feet advanced, and at one moment, the post in his hands swept across with a thunderous counterattack toward the Templar Knight opposite him.

At that very moment, outside the Eight Trigrams Peachwood Tree Formation, Xiao Tianying, Zhong Shan, Jin Xuantian, Li Yanran, Qian Yu, and the others encountered Long Teng, who was drawing the formation’s diagram on the ground to determine the best point of entry.

It was not until her elders sent her out to clear her mind and accompany Ning Xiangyi to Floating View City to offer birthday congratulations that she encountered the universally despised wastrel of the martial world. Through a twist of fate, she became involved with him, and her stagnant martial realm finally opened a new path to heaven.

James’s dunking style was indeed very similar to Josh Smith’s. Their selling points were much the same, but James could jump higher, farther, and with greater extension—even with more sheer force.

The color truly suited her perfectly. Song Jinli searched all around for a hair salon and finally found one that was just right.

Meng Tianxing felt a deep disgust toward those nobles who chattered endlessly among themselves. For the first time, she felt that her second cousin was actually a decent person.

“If I remember correctly, isn’t this Su Yu Wang Manhong’s brother-in-law?” Xiao Yun asked in a low voice.

For the sake of this lousy exclusive interview, she had already sacrificed her first kiss. How else was she supposed to face the challenge? Was she really expected to give herself to him before it could be considered finished?

After that fist struck Lin Feng’s palm, it could advance no farther. His palm seemed to possess a kind of stickiness, causing the force behind the punch to vanish instantly without a trace.

“Thank you, Young Master Bai!” Xia Zhen placed the Dark Jade at her waist, pressing it tightly against the pink Birthstone of Spirit.

Xia Zhen could not understand. Since he belonged to the Wolf Clan, why was he helping her? Should he not have captured her at once and taken her before the Demon King to claim credit?

It left everyone in a state of panic, damaging the marketplace’s image while also affecting the shopping environment and people’s moods. What benefit could there possibly be?

Popovich held Pat Riley in the highest respect and esteem. Yet when facing Phil Jackson, he was unwilling to concede defeat. Before the game, he had even said that nothing could be more inspiring than facing the Lakers.

Ghost Butterfly held her hands helplessly, not knowing what to say. The conflict had been resolved, her name was known, and she could go home early to watch the sunset with Xiuluo Ming.

Lou Yi revealed a pleased smile. Aside from training his troops, he had another purpose in doing this: he wanted these prisoners to gain a thorough understanding of the fighting strength of the cultivators from the Questioning Immortal Tower.

The five men took turns using their internal energy to attack Cheng Yaojin, contending with the vast power within his body. It was as though they were hammering and tempering his muscles and bones, making Cheng Yaojin’s body increasingly solid and his meridians increasingly resilient.

Li Qiang nodded and was just about to turn and follow the rabbit inside when a voice came from the other side.

“Captain!”

He turned at the sound and saw Zorro, White Pig, and Coffee Cat standing around the corner, apparently watching him from there for some time.

With that, he glared fiercely at Qiu Yuexia, evidently taking his anger out on her as the true instigator. The octopus monster had clearly come for her, but the disturbance had been so great that it had thrown everyone into a panic. If word spread, it might damage Wang Shitai’s reputation.

Before long, the villagers of Empty Tree Village traded wounds for lives, using desperate tactics to kill dozens of soldiers.

They were cut down one after another, collapsing onto the ground. Those fortunate enough to survive let out piercing screams of agony. Yet the Turks behind them seemed not to notice the terrible fate of their comrades and continued charging forward fearlessly, one wave after another.

Daoist Lu had said before that the demon was not especially powerful. Still, if it existed, they would certainly have to fight it. Judging from what had happened earlier, the demon seemed skilled in spells involving explosions. If it caused an explosion halfway through the battle and drew something else over, their situation would become even more difficult.

It seemed this matter had indeed been caused by human intervention. The fact that Li Yi had not been sealed away was perfectly normal, because Li Yi had no means of contacting anyone outside.

A moment ago, they had been so frightened that even their breathing had become tortoise-breathing, terrified that making the slightest sound while inhaling would get them killed.

Although he had not listened particularly attentively, fortunately, thanks to his intelligence, he had not made any mistakes regarding these matters.

Ji Yang explained to her, “Didn’t I tell you before? My father transferred all his assets into my name.”

Even after Lin Rui sent Su Linwan away, he still felt uneasy, so he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Zuo Meng reached the roadside and struck up a conversation with a kindly-looking old man, but the moment the old man glanced at him, he suddenly quickened his pace and hurried away.

All one could say was that human inspiration sometimes came from reality. Of course, whenever there were similarities in real life, inspirations were bound to collide.

Facing Ji Han, who was straddling Ji Yang, he did not hesitate for even a moment before bringing his fist down viciously on Ji Han’s head.

Zuo Meng briefly searched the surface of the desk and discovered a map. It was a map of Strange City, with the Strange Affairs Administration located precisely at its center.

Zhang Qinghe silently calculated the location given to him by Li Tuizhi and decided to retrieve the Hidden Crown Prince’s inheritance of talisman formations first.

But now that the incident had already occurred, Bo Yunxi would inevitably investigate his identity. Thus, he was practically negotiating with Lu Baibai with all his cards on the table.

Yet now he was lying here like a dog. How dare these lowly commoners, these flat-headed peasants, climb all over him?

The assassin Zhang Peng was famous not only for his extraordinary strength, but also for the strange bird brimming with spiritual energy that accompanied him.
