Two burly men entered the great hall escorted by guards.

At the sight of them, Xiao Aoyu and Huo Wangzhi were both visibly invigorated.

They had heard the names moments ago but had not yet reacted. Could these men actually be bandits from Mount Cuilai?

The bearing of Huo Wangzhi and Xiao Aoyu unconsciously straightened, and they assumed the unmistakable air of victors.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!” Li Qishan glanced at Lin Che before kneeling before Lin Yu on the imperial throne.

Cheng Fu also knelt on the floor.

Lin Yu nodded, then had Cao Shiqi introduce the two men to everyone.

When the crowd learned their identities, they were first astonished, then amused, convinced that Lin Che’s lies would surely be exposed this time.

Xiao Aoyu thought so too. After watching for a while, he was exposed—

In truth, before a day had passed, Huairen’er had taken the initiative to apologize to Huo Ziming. He had even painfully produced ten thousand yuan as compensation for Huo Ziming’s phone.

In the end, Lucifer finally grew tired of playing, and by then Preya had only a single heart left intact.

Fengdu Ghost City was the place where they temporarily lived in the mortal realm. It could also be regarded as an extension of the underworld into the world of the living. Once the Gates of Hell were truly established and a site for the ghost city selected, Ye Qiu would have to station several Ghost Emperors there to govern the souls about to enter the underworld and prevent any disorder.

Of course, Sun Wukong was slightly stronger than the Bull Demon King. In his fury, Sun Wukong had even beaten the Bull Demon King to pieces. Although there was a distinction in strength, no cultivation techniques seemed to be mentioned here.

Having finished speaking, he charged toward the three people opposite him. His leap from the city wall the previous day had already left him seriously injured, and he had just taken a fatal blow meant for Bai Xue. Now that he was rushing into battle, his chances of survival were slim. He had gone forth to fight with the resolve to die.

Unable to make sense of it, Xiao Chu simply stopped thinking about it. He stuffed the chocolate into his mouth and deliberately chewed with exaggerated relish, irritating Xu Ning until his teeth ached.

“As long as it can kill, it is a good martial technique!” Tai Heyi roared and charged forward, fiercely striking with one palm.

As far as the competition itself was concerned, Lin Xi had fallen into the losers’ bracket. If he was defeated by another contestant, he would truly be eliminated from the palace finals—and would leave without even a ranking.

With a wave of his hand, another red Gate of Hell appeared above Raphael’s head. Within it, dozens of black-gray figures emerged indistinctly, along with several red shadows. They were clearly creatures from Hell, and there were twice as many as before.

A week passed. Even the portly Zhu Qian had lost an entire circle of weight, and his skin had darkened considerably from the sun. The other scholars were in much the same condition.

Leaving aside the profound concern and joy held in the hearts of the two elders after witnessing Su Ze seize first place, make history, and win this opportunity for the Eastern Profound Realm—

The engine of the battle fortress gave two violent, wheezing coughs. A thick cloud of black smoke burst from the rear of the vehicle, then transformed with a loud Waaagh into a tongue of flame several meters long.

He also gave Chen Xiao a live broadcast from close range. Chen Xiao was extremely pleased, feeling that his mastery of the skill had reached an astonishing level.

Upon hearing this, Perfected Dao Xuan felt relieved, yet somewhat regretful. He quickly seized the opportunity and directly changed the way he addressed him, calling him Hall Master instead.

Those eligible to attend this trade fair were at least users of two-star trading platforms. Only the super-users of three-star trading platforms would be invited into the trading hall.

In fact, if Adrien had gone alone to steal the Horadric Malus forging hammer, success would have been virtually guaranteed. However, Adrien needed to remain in Rogue Encampment to guard against Andariel’s counterattack.

Some formations, however, were terrifying indeed. Certain ones were even powerful enough to cover an area comparable to an entire province and alter the landscape outright.

He did not know whether this world followed such customs as well, but the impression had been too deeply ingrained in him, and he had acted on instinct.

The alien’s barbed tail was precisely such a thing—a rigid exoskeletal structure formed from a mixture of vast quantities of organic and inorganic matter, hard beyond belief.

As Zhao Tianming said, this was not entirely untrue. Although he could authenticate the genuineness of many antiques, there were still objects he had never encountered before about which he could say very little. He still needed to deepen his studies and consult other experts in antique appraisal.

However, buying it for five hundred million meant that the cost was simply too high. Compared with the profit margin of Zhao Tianming’s piece of Imperial Green jade, it was still far inferior. Even so, quite a few people were green with envy.

Everyone rushed to the water’s edge and drank deeply. They even buried their faces in the water. The refreshing sensation was impossible to describe in words.

After that experiment, Laetitia fainted on the spot. Later, she told Doris not to mention it to anyone, especially Locke, lest he worry.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will prevail in every battle. Strategically, one must look down upon the enemy; tactically, one must always take the enemy seriously.

After the tongue of flame passed, cries of agony filled the air. Dozens of refugees lay in pools of blood, while the families of the dead wept with heart-rending grief. The scene was utterly惨惨.

“I’ll carry that for you!” Seeing how exhausted she looked, Zhao Tianming took the large bundle of ingredients she was carrying in both hands.

After Ming Fan left, Yu Manli instinctively reached out to touch the spot beside her, but there was no one there. Her hand lingered in midair before she withdrew it, while the endless flow of people continued past her.

Ming Fan said nothing more. He silently gazed out the window. He believed he needed no one’s understanding. He even believed that Yu Manli—he was sorry, but he did not look at her. His eyes remained as clear as ever. He was perfectly lucid now, more lucid than he had ever been.

Aunt Gourd, Grandpa Radish, and the others were all injured. Father and Mother were too busy to help, and they were suffering terribly.

Gu Yan gripped the Blood Fang tightly in his hand. His cold eyes gradually revealed a profound resolve. At that moment, he had no way back, nor would he take a single step backward. The lives of tens of billions of beings rested upon his shoulders, including those of his closest kin.

I bent down and patted the big man’s face. After confirming that he had already fainted, I stood up and looked with a broad smile at Qin Ling, who was still standing nearby in stunned confusion.
