After Tang Xuanzong awoke from his dream, his illness was cured. He then ordered the Painting Sage Wu Daozi to depict the image of Zhong Kui he had seen in the dream. The result was this painting, Zhong Kui Devouring Ghosts.

“Darling, could we postpone the wedding a little? At least until we find Ye Tian—what do you say?” Wei Shaoxun asked Liu Yurou.

Here, there are only Summoners stronger than you, and Summoners stronger still. Never think too highly of yourself.

Once father and son had reached a genuine understanding, the conversation gradually turned back to official business—for even if they were reduced to foot soldiers, they would still give it their all. To oppose him was to oppose the Bai family.

“Come to my place. We’ll divide up the things,” Mu Qing said, looking around at the four of them.

She had returned to her hometown to establish a medicinal-herb cultivation base, yet now she was still working as a middleman. Back then, she had given up a high salary and guaranteed promotion at a Fortune Global 500 company. Thinking about it now, even she felt lost, no longer sure whether her decision had been right or wrong.

“All right, all right. What’s wrong with your voice?” The moment Old Master Liu heard that something was amiss, he completely forgot what he had been about to say and asked anxiously.

Lin Mengya had practically memorized the entire procedure for Long Tianyu’s enthronement. It was the most important day of her beloved’s life. Even if she could not attend in person, her heart would always be with him.

Before absolute power, everything else was futile. Even if an ant managed to lift a stone larger than itself, it still could not crush an elephant to death.

In truth, Yun Zhongtian himself was uncertain. He felt that what everyone had said was not without reason, but he knew his Azure Python Eagle very well—it would never report a false situation. Yet how was this matter to be explained? Could it be that Demon Shen really knew how to create clones?

At that moment, Hua Xiang was inside the room. She had heard most of City Lord Liu’s words through her spiritual sense, which had left her body earlier. By the time she returned to herself, she was drenched in sweat, dizzy and lightheaded. The distance had been too great, and she had only barely managed to eavesdrop with her spiritual sense from afar.

But before my true body could make a move, the two mirror-image clones had already appeared beside that fellow like phantoms.

Combined with their utterly shocking, attention-seizing entrance, their sudden appearance gave the three of us quite a fright.

In Beijing, the scorching sun of September still blazed like fire. Cicadas cried weakly from time to time in the lush woods outside the city. A gust of wind swept through, filling the sky with yellow sand, while along the road through the forest, a dust-covered Grand Cherokee—its original color long invisible—came roaring toward us.

With the arrival of the Hercules Ape, the several hundred demon beasts once again straightened their shoulders and charged into the sky. Facing the lightning tribulation, they worked together as one: when you could go no farther, your brother would shield you; when you could hold on no longer, your friends would bear the burden for you.

The guards on the city wall, controlled by the system, continued to unleash fierce firepower, while the summoned beasts serving as cannon fodder kept dying one after another.

Wang Yilong and Yuan Ma exchanged a glance. Clearly, whatever the reason, they could not entice Zhuge Yang to return to the world.

Before Ying Lili could continue her wicked fantasies, she saw someone behind her darken with displeasure. Without the slightest courtesy, he reached out, swept her into his arms, and pulled her away from Yan Zheng’s side. “We’re leaving!” The words were forced out through clenched teeth.

I had figured out the trick behind it. The Skylark’s method of attack was to create distance first, then accelerate into a dive, driving its attack speed to the absolute limit.

There was nothing to be done. When men are young, they risk their lives to make money; when they grow old, they use money to preserve their lives. That has been an unchanging iron law for thousands of years. That was why, after meeting the old master, I told him that I understood him.

“There is no problem in that regard,” Lawyer Zhao Hongji flatly rejected Qin Fang’s claim.

Second, order the entire Port Authority to report to the docks and keep a close watch on the fishing boats. During the typhoon, if even one fishing boat left port without authorization, one cadre of bureau-division level or above would be dealt with. If unauthorized departure resulted in a death, the official in charge of that line of work at the Port Authority would be removed from office.

When they returned to the reception room and Ruan Mengmeng announced what she intended to do next, President Zhan Kai and Old Madam Miao were both so startled that they nearly jumped out of their skin.

The sword-path secret art he had invoked and condensed was not part of the core inheritance of the Taiyuan Sacred Land, but neither was it an ordinary sword-path secret art.

Upon hearing his voice, the navy showed no hesitation. They hoisted their wounded comrades onto their backs, turned around, and sprinted toward the interior of the island.

“That’s enough, Li Junting.” At last, Li Junyu, whose expression had grown darker and darker from Li Junting’s incessant pestering, cut him off coldly.

The chieftain was so delighted that he burst into laughter. A great beauty had practically delivered herself to his door. If she was not out of her mind, then—then she was definitely out of her mind.

Zhan Muqing acted as though he had not heard her. Holding her body, he slowly moved forward, forcing Si Nian to retreat until her body was pressed against the broad transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.

A Rui furrowed his brows and glanced back at the brothers keeping watch beside the fire. He then looked toward the direction from which the breathing came. A dark mass lay there, and it was impossible to see what was hidden within.

Everything had already been arranged on the other side. Fang Sheng was picked up from the airport through the VIP passage the moment he arrived and taken directly to a secluded location. The two sides held secret talks, and naturally ended the evening thoroughly drunk.
