Day 19

“This…” Cheng Wan’er failed to detect the jest in Li Jin’s tone and was momentarily rendered speechless.

The second target chosen by Ji Hao here was a powerful and ancient force hailing from the City of Sacred Artifacts.

“I heard that shortly after we left, the four prefectures of Yun, Yan, Ji, and Pu joined forces to march on our stronghold, intending to wipe out Liangshan in one fell swoop. After the chieftain and the others crushed their coalition, they turned their sights toward Yun Prefecture.” Li Jun’s intelligence came directly from his scouts and was naturally reliable.

As for helping out his motherland, it could only be considered a final交代 to his former status as a citizen.

Ji Liao pretended not to hear and headed straight for the meditation room where the Abbot Yixin resided. It was not his first time here; familiar with the path, he pushed open the door.

This expanding, invading mutant world and the two known worlds were already in a state of hostility or competition.

“You old wretch! Have you no shame left?” Qu Dong, known for his straightforward nature, pointed at Pan Qi and cursed.

He had once been utterly disheartened, but unexpectedly, there came a sudden turn of events. The machine factory—which no one, and he, Feng Zhiye, included, had held any hope for—suddenly produced a bicycle that dazzled everyone’s eyes.

“How did you manage to arrive in Liuzhou ahead of us?” At this moment, seeing the exhaustion and the lingering trace of anxiety in the eyes of True Monarch Dafang, True Monarch Fengshuang felt his heart tighten and asked with a solemn expression.

Li Siming wanted to say more, but a cough from Liu Guoyuan forced the words back down his throat, leaving him with no choice but to grumble and let it go.

The fellow clamoring at him was one of Zhong Chou’s most capable lieutenants; since he spoke these words, it was likely that this was Zhong Chou’s own sentiment.

This was the first time He Xing had seen Ren Zhiyuan, but as he was busy dueling on the stage, he did not pay much attention. However, the person following him in Xilu City—the then-Lord of the Spirit Realm, Ren Zhiyuan—observed He Xing’s performance from the sidelines.

“What do you mean by this? A breakup? I do not agree,” Li Yilan said coldly, rejecting the notion outright.

Suddenly, his dantian jolted. A warm, spicy sensation erupted under the assault of the cold energy, moving like a wild horse without a bridle or a snake that had hibernated for countless days, ignoring the meridians and flesh as it roamed unrestrainedly.

“What?” Before Hu Shuntang could speak, Sally hurried over and discovered that it was indeed Peng Jiayuan inside the ice. Her eyes widened, and her face twisted in distress.

“It’s nothing, watch us!” The man in black finished, signaling to his companion. The other man understood, drawing a sword that gleamed with blood-red light from its scabbard. Luo Chenxue could vaguely sense the intense malevolence radiating from the blade.

“Let’s walk back slowly.” Xu Yaran pointed to the road ahead and said to Li Yilan.

Shang Zao took the towel and draped it to the side, then washed his face and wiped it with the towel, making no effort to distinguish which side Fan Xueyi had used and which she had not.

The giant python’s coils tightened further, and he finally lost consciousness under the strain. A fierce struggle echoed faintly in his ears, and finally, accompanied by a painful roar, a heavy object crashed to the ground.

Although she wished to lead the merchants of Quanzhou to exclusive success, in the grand scheme of things, if the situation in Quanzhou ultimately turned out well, it would be beneficial for the entire merchant class.

The Hongmen Hongtang Navy, which had long since ceased operations, began recruiting again in the third month of the fifth year of the Chongzhen Emperor. This time, Li Tianyang hoped to expand the Hongmen Navy to twenty thousand men and the Penghu Navy to ten thousand.

Baniang offered the group some final encouragement before bidding Cang’er farewell and leading Yunxian home.

He did not want to be recognized while clearing the wild boss; that would only cause panic and chaos. In truth, the most important reason was that Ling Yun wanted to play the fool to catch the tiger.

“My aunt is not here; she went to the front to speak with the Fourth Aunt. If you have no further business, Cousin, I will go chop down those two crabapple trees and return.” Cang’er replied.

“But you must not let their corpses decay, otherwise there will be no effect in the end,” Chun Chun added.

Having learned that the Hongmen had successfully defeated the Flying Dragon Gang, and seeing the hidden cards revealed by the Hongmen in this battle, the Edo Shogunate of Japan was forced to hold a shred of reverence for this high-ranking official of the Great Ming Dynasty.

As the summons echoed, the sound of heavy armor and footsteps descended from the void, and the figure of an undead clad in silver-white armor gradually became clear.

“Haha, alright, don’t blame yourself. We know those people; it was very wise of you not to go up and take it,” Zhao Chenyi said with a smile.

“Pay respects to the Ancestor!” This included the Great Elder and all the disciples of the Hidden Clan. Now, except for Ziyun and the ancestor of the Ying Clan, everyone else in the square was kneeling on the ground.

With a sonic boom, the air itself seemed to shatter, the violent blast causing everyone to shield their eyes. The gold coins in Ke’s hand were instantly liquefied by high-temperature electricity, turning into a streak of golden light that shot outward.

Indeed, this time it would also require a vast amount of medicinal pills; he would not be able to advance for some time yet.

Hiddink, however, changed his formation. For this match, Eindhoven used a 4-4-2, deploying Beasley and Hesselink as twin strikers, ready to batter the city walls.

As spiritual energy continued to pour in, the golden light flickered more intensely and began to undergo a change in shape.

Likewise, everyone was sitting on meditation cushions, and all were cultivators who had reached at least the tenth level of Qi Refining.

Then her QQ suddenly chimed. Her avatar checked it, and the nickname of the person who added her was “Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Salted Fish,” with the verification message: Lin Xuan.

In the time that followed, the Chinese government dispatched one of its three remaining modernized divisions to this glass-covered land to search for any surviving remains of the “Taotie.”

“Friend Lin, do you need a television to watch the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala?” Suddenly, a voice rang out. Xia Lan was startled, while Lin Xuan, having been prepared, only wore a look of utter speechlessness.

The Heavenly Queen smiled slightly. Du Ziwen, standing below, immediately heard her telepathic transmission; she was instructing him to bring out Lilitia’s divinity.

Just as Hugh Gila was preparing to execute the vampire, a voice came from the doorway. A feeling of dread surged into Luo Ta’s heart.

The massive palace suddenly erupted in golden light. As the light faded, the six gates of the palace opened simultaneously, and the end of the bamboo staff was inserted into one of the gates.
