Volume 1, Chapter 29: The Tables Have Turned

Jiang Jinshu maintained a calm expression, though a flicker of imperceptible cunning flashed through her eyes. She shook her head gently, her tone tinged with a touch of feigned innocence and helplessness.

Only by deciphering this information can one obtain the feedback of the Heavenly Secrets; the deeper one’s study of divination, the more information one can unlock.

In an instant, the black, colossal body of the unknown creature exploded without any warning. The mist-like substance that composed its form scattered into the surroundings, its microscopic particles vanishing into the wind.

In the brief moment of exchange, the trees hundreds of miles ahead were incinerated in an instant. Within a radius of hundreds of yards, everything was reduced to scorched earth; not a single standing plant remained, and the field of vision suddenly opened up.

"I always thought this was the King’s way of emphasizing the need to abolish the old customs that forbade commoners from wearing silk, and stressing that everyone is equal," An Jie said, spreading his hands.

"A loyal subject does not serve two masters! Xu Yuanzhi will never surrender, especially not to a hypocrite!" Xu Shu sneered directly.

Li Tian utilized his Divine Movement technique to pursue Wang Ling, while at the same time, Chen Long transformed into a streak of purple light, charging toward him.

The foolish fear the wise, and the wise fear those who disregard the rules. That is why Liu Pan and Liu Biao died so unjustly, and why Cai Mao suffered the same fate—all for naught, essentially paving the way for others. Now, the Cai family is implicated as well, forced to reside in this Nanyang.

To hold the five cities of Quanwei firmly is a great achievement for the State of Zhao. Though Yuyang is desirable, now is not the time to swallow it whole.

Furthermore, Ophis, residing within Liuxing’s body, was struggling with all her might to prevent him from consuming such things. Even the most powerful dragons would not dare to eat them; how could Liuxing possibly dare?

Luotian smiled slightly at Zhou Lang and the others. Qi Feng waved his hand, his lips moving as if he were saying something, though it was unclear what.

What did she want? She cared that he and Annie remained engaged; perhaps it was that very bond between them that concerned her.

Naturally, Xiao Jingxuan and Chu Luoxi were happy to be at ease. The greater the responsibility, the greater the pressure. If the first scene of the shoot didn't go well, they would certainly feel a sense of guilt.

"Brother, will you sleep with me tonight?" I knew that asking this might put him in a difficult position, but I was truly terrified.

"A clever maneuver!" Only then did South China Tiger realize Chang Lin’s ambition; the harsh climate here had, in fact, become his training ground.

"Tianhua has never imported a single drop of oil; they only purchase grain from all over the world. We cannot afford a war of attrition with him; we must find the reason behind this!" Reagan, much like Webster, speculated, wondering what had struck a nerve with Chang Lin.

Chang Lin was stunned. It was not the missiles that shocked him, but the way streaks of white light were fired, achieving an accuracy rate of over ninety percent at high speeds and even countering incoming missiles.

After Old Man Li finished speaking, Zhong Shan couldn't help but frown. Now that he mentioned it, he recalled that it seemed to be the same in ancient China on Earth; salt, iron, and tea—these high-value economic or strategic materials—were strictly controlled by the state.

"Measured and well-reasoned; you have matured. You are capable of shouldering the heavy burdens of Tianhua." South China Tiger cared little for Chang Lin’s grievances, offering him nothing but high praise.

"Be a good baby!" Blowing him a kiss, Mi You turned back to the living room, opened the television, and sat on the sofa. Just then, the door opened again, and her eldest son walked in, wearing that white baseball cap.

At the same time, the Ghost Gate ushered in its most powerful generation in history, completely suppressing the entire world of cultivators, and even the world at large.
