Chapter 54: Striving (Second Update)
This was still due to level suppression, and the Wolf King's defense was extremely high, making the effect of Flash less than ideal. Otherwise, with the explosive power of Flash combined with his doubled attack, the outcome wouldn't have been a simple one plus one.
Zhang Hao, who had left early, had no idea about any assignments. With a slight smile, he took a sip of the milk tea that Sister Qinqin had specially brewed for him.
Oh my goodness! That tent was actually supported by sandalwood poles! Crap! Is that sheer gauze? That's definitely sheer gauze! He had heard that sheer skirts made from priceless sheer gauze were worth a thousand pieces of gold, yet here she was seeing a tent crafted from it, three layers on the inside and three layers on the outside!
"That's right," Jia Zhengcai walked up to Old Mrs. Sun, looking at her as he said, "After Elder Shen underwent surgery, he was bedridden at home. His wife passed away several years ago, and given his condition, he felt too embarrassed to have maidservants wait on him."
Keeping the Yao family around for now carried more benefits than drawbacks; they could be used to keep Zheng Hongtao in check. Since the Yao family was to be kept, having an inside man was essential. Although Yao Dong was merely a servant of the Yao family, his status was not low, and he had access to a fair amount of information, making him quite suitable to act as an inside mole.
"Because I like you very much and I want to spend our lives together, I killed him. What? Are you unwilling to spend your life with me?" the thin man laughed with a smirk.
The third prince, Chen Siduans, was the son of Consort Yang. Although somewhat fickle and romantic, he was quite popular due to his prominent status and striking, aloof face.
Zhang Mingwei smiled as well, refusing to show weakness. This was confidence born from within rather than momentary spite. He suddenly flicked his wrist, and the purple soft sword lunged toward Ling Qingyun's face like a grasping, clawing dragon, its sharp aura making Ling Qingyun's face sting.
This Golden Body realm cultivator was not targeting Ling Qingyun; he merely intended to use the path to escape. However, Ling Qingyun turned his horse around and placed his palm on the sword hilt he hadn't touched in a long time.
In fact, it wasn't just cultivation manuals; the vast majority of spiritual artifacts and flying swords were also sponsored by the Xuanyuan family.
Helian Nuo smiled helplessly and strode toward her, while the sinister-looking man consciously stepped back to the side.
Gu Xixi knew this matter wouldn't be resolved easily and had no choice but to leave first. Wang Jing怡 followed her, but her cultivation was far inferior, and she lost track of them after just a moment.
The figure in black slowly withdrew his fist, gently dusted off the filth that had splattered onto him, and then scanned the surroundings in a show of intimidation before slowly returning to stand behind the giant brute.
Back in the day, the White Wolf was quite well-behaved, observing propriety and hierarchy in all things. They all knew how vast the White family was—so vast that every matter in the world, down to the most trivial detail, had to pass through the White family; even if it couldn't be verified, it was hard not to believe it.
Subconsciously licking his lips, Helian Nuo raised an eyebrow, chuckled softly, and went back to wiping the table.
Everyone present understood the stakes of gain and loss. By figuring out the ins and outs of the situation, they could turn around the current unfavorable predicament.
"Too strong..." The fierce snake's jaw nearly dropped in astonishment as he watched the two power shikigami get smashed to pieces in an instant by that ferocious blade, leaving behind not a single trace.
Thanks to the function of "Nilia's Illusion," the mask that had just been touched twice by Su Meimei's fists truly transformed into the appearance of a "pig's head," bringing a happy smile to the blushing Su Meimei's face.
After the sect leader fled, the entire Tianli Sect split apart. For a time, the Tianli Sect, once hailed as the number one evil cult in the world, gradually vanished from people's sight. Yang Xuan and the others returned to their respective mountains to cultivate, bringing the encirclement and suppression of the Tianli Sect to an end.
At that time, during the reign of Emperor Yao, massive floods suddenly erupted across numerous rivers in the primordial world, plunging the human race into deep misery. He ordered people to manage the floodwaters, but how could such waters be compared to ordinary floods! Furthermore, with Xiangliu and Bingpo repeatedly obstructing the efforts, the floodwaters remained unmanaged even until the reign of Emperor Shun.
The Rakshasa King was a terrifying existence suppressed by the Universe and Mountains Seal, which was wielded by each generation of Chief Commanders.
Besides, who knew what that painted-skin ghoul intended to do this time, so just to be safe, it was better for her to send these lonely wandering ghosts away first.
It was late autumn, and the weather was turning cold. The entire world seemed to be preparing for winter. During these days, there was no fresh news worth mentioning; even the army of the Eyre Dynasty had withdrawn back into the country, the self-proclaimed Prince Mead had ceased his campaigns, and the Empress had grown quiet. The entire world seemed utterly and harmoniously dull.
Inside the Xindema Jewelry Store, Yi Tianxing, who was just about to prepare to buy engagement rings, turned pale instantly upon receiving the phone call.
This tactic might be useful, but Ling Qingyun felt it wasn't quite right. It wasn't that he was overly righteous—in fact, in a life-or-death battle between two armies, who could afford to care about honorable tactics versus dirty tricks? As long as one could win, any means were acceptable.
To be honest, they had been a bit surprised just now, but after all, it was everyone's first time entering a dream, so they lacked experience.
Therefore, Catherine's attitude toward the Stateless Family had also shifted. If she had previously felt it was somewhat of a child's game, she now genuinely believed that the young man named Ave might truly reshape the continent's family landscape.
"Overestimating your capabilities," Tianxuanzi sneered coldly, waving his hand casually as the Silkworm Gu was sucked straight into the Crimson Lion Umbrella.
While wildly thrusting and pumping, Qin Tian's hands could not help but wander over Gongsun Qingxue's chest and delicate back.
However, the Secretary of State had failed to properly handle the matter of the AWACS aircraft. Although it had been conducted in secret beforehand, some sharp-eared media outlets had still reported on it. Consequently, the news created a massive uproar, and numerous media outlets began turning their attention to the matter.
At that time, there were two major financial centers in the world: the largest was New York in the United States, followed by London in the United Kingdom.
Rain poured down frantically, with heavy drops like broken beads tumbling down from the sky, kicking up a dusty, murky smell and beating bitterly against the courtyard's red walls and green tiles, imbuing the entire Prince Duan's Mansion with a gloomy atmosphere.
Although Ouyang Jin was not her biological child, she had indeed sacrificed a great deal for Ouyang Qin. Yet to call her ruthless wouldn't be entirely accurate either, since what she did was ultimately for Ouyang Pu's own good.
Since Big Swallow had contributed a great deal to the fat woman over the past few days, and coupled with Big Swallow's sharp tongue and fierce disposition, the fat woman assigned her to be in charge of the hotel in the rear building.
Therefore, he simply bypassed his weaknesses and, with the perspective of a modern man, vigorously promoted economic concepts that had never appeared in this era. In the end, he actually managed to muddle his way into becoming a grandmaster of a generation. The process was somewhat bumpy, but all things considered, it went quite smoothly.
Upon hearing that the baby might be harmed, Guo Mengyao stopped saying anything more and followed Zhemilai upstairs.
"I always feel that although the meaning is there, it's not quite right in form," Guo Jia said with a bitter smile.
Hashungirili tidied her hair and said to the talented man, "I need to go take over my shift. Once I'm done, I'll come find you!" The talented man nodded.
