Chapter 48

Ten seconds after Kataz appeared, another kneeling, humanoid giant dragon materialized on the stone platform, and the four clan elders offered him their deep concern and condolences.

To say the least, the reincarnation magic circle capable of traversing worlds was by no means a simple artifact.

This bitter resentment had blinded his reason. Over the years, it had never once crossed his mind that there might have been a deeper motive, that perhaps she... had merely been trying to help her.

Speaking of the Dian horse, it had a long and storied history. Also known as the short-legged horse, it was a native breed of Yunnan renowned historically for its steady footing and endurance. It was precisely because of the Dian horse that the glorious Ancient Tea-Horse Road was forged in history, allowing the mountain goods of Yunnan to find their way out of the southwestern mountains.

"Has your ability awakened?" Vice President Li Ran asked, his eyes remaining tightly closed as if he were blind, yet he held absolute command of everything happening in the outside world.

However, master Feng's paintings were priceless treasures. Most art enthusiasts who bought them did so for their own collections rather than for resale. Why would they part with a piece just because someone offered a higher price?

There was no other reason: whenever a mission took place, Liu Guohui had to inspect their fighter jets both before takeoff and after landing without exception. That was Liu Guohui's job.

This psychological phenomenon was rather peculiar. For instance, in modern society, one might envy Jack Ma or mock his appearance, but when you actually stood face-to-face with him—especially when he walked right up to you and spoke with warm familiarity—a sense of natural affinity would inevitably well up in your heart.

With her pink hair fluttering, piercing dragon pupils, and sharp dragon fangs, Wendy instantly awakened her dragon power and entered battle mode.

After Wei Hong and Yao Youqing returned to the manor, it was the first time Yao Youqing took the initiative to come to the front courtyard on her own, carrying a long wooden box in her arms.

At the same time, once Qiao Dongyang failed to meet the inheritance criteria, he would completely lose any chance of dividing the family estate.

What terrified Ling Yi the most was that this mechanical puppet had appeared completely without a sound, materializing out of thin air, and its strike had been ruthless, steady, and precise, instantly tearing the heart right out of some unfortunate soul.

"Don't hesitate. Only money can buy the highest tier of equality and the right to converse with the world. As long as the outcome is good, the method used is irrelevant," Shao Zhiheng stated.

However, he had caught wind of an impending revelation: a massive, nameless ancient tomb was about to unearth itself. To the administrative councils of various continents, this nameless ancient tomb was a matter of negligible consequence.

Mu Nianchen felt she had been far too lenient; next time, she would definitely order all the food first before discussing serious business.

The Foundation-Building Pill was a commonly used elixir for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, serving a similar function to the Blood Ginseng Pill for postnatal body cultivators—both were used to enhance one's strength.

The disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Gang instantly grew tense, dropping their chores to pick up their weapons and huddle together.

This was someone Lin Tianci had crossed paths with back when he visited the Earth-Element Sect. Although they weren't particularly close, they had at least met before.

Whether it was her imagination or not, she always felt that ever since the referee was swapped, the match rules had been deliberately targeting the Alliance.

Fang Jingyi lowered her head in thought. "Was it you who sent the young master of the Li family back?" Although she had guessed upon seeing Ding You that the events at the Fang household were inextricably linked to him, she hadn't pursued the matter further at the time.

"Not only is there food, there's also someone you can eat! Too bad you can't eat him..." Lin Yunsheng said through clenched teeth.

Xu Ting smiled at Jimo Qinglian, revealing a neat row of white teeth with a deep dimple on his right cheek, presenting the image of an exceptionally cheerful young man.

Xiao Yu's mind raced. As Luo Yinghao launched another attack against him, he manipulated the true essence barrier enveloping his body to expand severalfold.

She had never been separated from her son for this long... What was Big A doing right now? Was he crying? Had he been fed?

With someone voicing this sentiment, the clamor from the crowd grew even more intense, especially among the members of the Gambino family, who simply could not accept losing two matches in a row.

Of course, the provision of these supplies was selective and limited; only tribes maintaining the closest ties with the garrison and boasting the finest cooperation records and credibility could enjoy such treatment.

The mental fluctuations devoured by the divine power of the Nine Netherworlds were struck as if by lightning and instantly shrank back. Nielake pursued them relentlessly; with Mutaliao present, tracking them down was effortless.

In truth, their luck had been decent, as they happened to barge straight into my room. Unfortunately, the children and I were already out, otherwise, even if their assassination attempt hadn't succeeded, it would certainly have left me injured. Upon finding the room empty, they slipped into the corridor to find another room to target.

Xiong Dawei's card. Pei Ting initially intended to refuse, but the other party insisted persistently, following up with those parting words, leaving Pei Hantang with no choice but to accept it.

Right now, they were simply no match for Dr. Gero. Situ Qin hurriedly reached out for her phone to call Han Mingsheng for help.

Even the aura of the Matriarch of No Life—which had previously instilled a terrifying, apocalyptic sense of mortal danger—was completely incomparable to this overwhelming pressure.

However, as Black and White Impermanence had stated, because the tribulation had been deliberately suppressed for a prolonged period, when it was forcibly unleashed by Tang Ming, its sheer destructive might was far beyond what the Emperor of Japan could possibly handle.

Consequently, she found it difficult to direct her resentment toward Jia Baoyu any longer, so she turned her head away and said nothing more.

Then, ten helicopters circled in the sky, their oppressive momentum bearing down like an overwhelming physical force. A fully organized elite battalion surged forward like a voracious beast hunting its prey.

Nevertheless, since this incident posed a potential threat to the lives of millions of citizens in Jinling City, Tang Ming still felt it necessary to investigate.

Driven by sheer instinct, the third-rank Immortal Emperor abruptly abandoned his attempt to kill Tang Ming and instead whipped his head around, fleeing headlong into the distance.

She was just about to explain that this restaurant was run by a Chinese proprietor and the noodles were crafted by a Chinese culinary master when she saw Mu Chendong walking out of the kitchen holding a bowl of noodles.

Lily instantly chuckled, actually daring to flirt with the Golden-Haired Beast King; she really must have been tired of living. She pressed her nose against Kida's body, the well-defined muscles leaving Lily utterly intoxicated, along with the masculine scent radiating from them.

Wei Cheng and Hu Yang had already scrambled back to their feet and charged toward the newly arrived Taoist priest. The priest smiled faintly, suddenly producing two paper talismans in his hand. With two swift swooshes, the talismans struck the foreheads of Wei Cheng and Hu Yang with pinpoint accuracy. The two men froze instantly in their tracks, then collapsed straight down like felled logs.
