Volume 1, Chapter 44: Who Waits in Line for Fun?

Guided by the system, Li Yunmu sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. He felt a reverse-flowing surge of energy sweep through his entire body, and beads of sweat gradually formed on his forehead.

The monsters that Xia He placed within the illusion were foes that ordinary soldiers could handle, but a single tactical error would result in the annihilation of an entire squad.

A flash of surprise crossed Lu Ling's eyes as she looked at An Ruo. An Ruo was dressed in a long white skirt with a purple ribbon tied around her waist, her dark hair neatly put up. Her face was clean and beautiful, not reliant on heavy makeup, and she exuded an aura of pure innocence. Lu Ling's gaze lingered on An Ruo for several seconds.

"Ah... No way, how could I possibly be that capable?" Startled, An Ruo quickly waved her hands, indicating that the probability of such a thing happening was pathetically low.

Ye Wei kicked backward with her foot. Although her hands were currently useless, her feet were still operational. As it turned out, her feet were not merely meant for walking.

Her foot pressed squarely against Father Ye's wrist, and with a burst of strength, she forcibly pulled his hand down from mid-air.

Ye Zifan wore a look of utter contempt, clearly not believing that Liu Tingting could come up with any good ideas for him!

The warrior took out his military rations, heated them on the spot, and began to eat right where he stood. After finishing, a magical construct cast a spell to generate a flask of clean water for him. He actually had water on him, but he couldn't bear to drink it; that water was brewed from spirit rice and could restore his battle aura at a critical moment.

The City Lord immediately petitioned the half-elven royal family for reinforcements. The message was transmitted out and could not be intercepted by the barrier, but the human mages accurately obtained the intelligence.

Institutions like the Nine Academies, which occupied vast territories, as well as the royal family, were capable of mobilizing massive armies without triggering a demographic collapse.

She was completely unaware that a giant red figure was lurking in the shadows behind her. Two large, round eyes stared at them with curiosity. Once all of them had descended, the red shadow slowly crept closer.

Beneath the biting chill, even Su Mu, who was at the Dust-Exceeding Realm, could not help but shudder all over. The Nether Frigid Pool was only a hundred meters in radius, but after taking just five steps, Su Mu's eyelashes, eyebrows, and entire body were already encrusted with ice crystals.

Shen Xu's brow was tightly furrowed. He could feel that half of his elixir platform had frozen into a world of ice and snow, while the other half of the platform had abruptly sprouted numerous nameless flames. The spiritual power on his elixir platform was completely unable to supply output, leaving him utterly overwhelmed and unable to even protect himself.

Wang Yuehan's face was like a ripe, red apple, tender and seemingly ready to drip with water. She bit her lip, gazed blankly at Zhang Yunze with eyes full of lingering affection, and gently nodded.

Luo Wusheng widened her eyes. "What? Disappeared on its own?" Suddenly, thinking of something, she looked down at the painting where she had just placed the paper cutout; the paper cutout was indeed gone.

A middle-aged cultivator knelt half-way on the ground with a respectful expression, holding a jade slip aloft in his palms. At that moment, the jade slip was taken by an elderly man. After a quick scan, the ferocious-looking elder crushed the jade slip. The pressure suddenly emanating from his body immediately filled the kneeling middle-aged cultivator with terror, leaving him trembling like a cicada in winter.

Today, Zhang Yunze's shooting touch was remarkably good. Right from the start, he went twenty for twenty, not missing a single shot! Xu Guangning could only stare in wide-eyed disbelief. Pity our young Master Xu, who was reduced to a ball boy, picking up basketballs under the hoop for Zhang Yunze.

Mei Zhaoling also snapped back to reality, seeing that seven or eight broodmother guards beside the queen were already rapidly converging on the two of them. At the same time, more soldier ants, drawn by the queen's shrill cries, were rushing in from ant tunnels in all directions.

"Well said, go on." Cheng Yanzhong listened intently to her every word and observed her every expression.

The three fellows on the opposite side also twitched the corners of their mouths, and the smile on Yuan Tianxing's face deepened even further.

"Excellent!" Hearing these words, He Liangpeng was overjoyed in his heart. Judging by this fellow's words, he too wished to enter the Purple Emperor Divine Realm. As long as he phrased things carefully, he could recruit a formidable ally.

Did he really think that by stubbornly plotting behind closed doors, the enemy would foolishly walk right into a trap and act one hundred percent in accordance with his own wishes? That would be too naive and laughable. Such a low-level mistake was something Shen Luoguan would certainly never make, and even Chen Sheng would never commit it.

Lu Tao watched Pei Donglai cross the parade ground. Neither his pace nor his expression changed in the slightest, remaining entirely normal just like any other day. Though suspicious in his heart, it was not convenient for him to ask.

Witnessing the gradually chaotic situation, various generals within the Chongqing gathering place began leading their subordinate troops forward to maintain order. This was the most critical moment; absolutely no chaos could be allowed to break out within Chongqing.

Having confirmed the Han army's intentions, Wei Ming Chage mobilized troops from all directions, with the Xia army establishing camps centered around cities and the Jin army lining up their stockades along the river. Privately, Zonghan was greatly displeased, believing that Wei Ming Chage's arrangement was clearly intended to use him as cannon fodder. Yet, as a displaced foreign general, he had no choice but to obey orders.

Facing the piercing blade of ice thrust by the Emperor, the holy eye in the center of Lucifer's forehead suddenly constricted. Having the memories of Trumus, he naturally recognized this move, and he also knew the consequences of being struck by this blade of ice.

"Don't worry. Since you've become the garrison commander of Stone Castle for the Great Tang, you naturally have the Anxi Army backing you up. If anyone dares to attack your clan, I'll turn right back and wipe them out!" Zhou Xiaofeng smiled and offered words of comfort.
