By the time the constables came to their senses, they had immediately sealed off Cuiwei Tower.

After investigating, they found that the only people present were the staff of Cuiwei Pavilion and several beautiful young women. Everyone else who had come to watch the commotion was a guest staying there.

“I saw a dark figure leap out of the window just now.” Lu Mingxuan pointed toward the window opposite his door.

“You saw him and didn’t give chase?” Prince Jing asked, displeased.

“Are you kidding? He was a desperate fugitive. Do I look like I want to die? Besides, jumping from a building this high would surely break his legs. I’m not stupid!” Lu Mingxuan retorted righteously.

“Pursue him!” Lin Sen ordered.

The two of them were like a pair of bickering lovers, and even their feet...

The Sharingan consumed through his right eye earlier, together with the Hashirama cells transplanted into his right arm, allowed him to wield two bloodline limits.

He found Xiao Feng more and more pleasing to the eye, and was increasingly satisfied with him. There was nothing he could do about it—the seemingly frail young man had given him far too many surprises.

As for those who had survived, they had long since lost their fighting spirit. How could they possibly stand against a powerful enemy?

“They are the lowest level of vampires, Level E. They have no reason and are nothing more than monsters that know only how to drink human blood. From now on, keep as far away from them as possible whenever you encounter them.”

The moment she spoke, everyone scattered like frightened birds and beasts. After Silver West lost her temper, not a single person dared to speak nonsense again.

“Have you truly made up your mind? If you have, come find me at this time tomorrow. I will take you with me.”

Those words seemed to be meant for Su Momo, yet they also sounded as though she were saying them to herself—as if only in this way could she find the strength to continue onward.

He sought out only monsters of medium danger or below. As for monsters whose danger level exceeded medium, he would not consider them for the time being.

Lady Xia was furious yet helpless. All she could do was pull Zhou Changzai, who lived next door, along with her and make veiled insults one after another. One moment she complained that Su Shi lacked grace; the next she mocked her for eating too much. Every word dripped with ridicule, as though she wished she could tear Su Shi apart and devour her flesh.

Because he understood that if the Uchiha clan learned of the Mangekyo, the rebellion that was still being prepared would likely erupt at once.

The young man in black said nothing. He merely lifted his chin and stared coldly at Leng Qianqian. Beneath the moonlight, his face was refined and handsome, his expression solemn.

The Dark Realm descended, plunging the surroundings into an eternal night. Blood splashed continuously across the battlefield, and the air filled with the stench of gore.

He dropped straight to one knee, clasped his fists, and bowed. His close-fitting, streamlined nightwear blended completely into the darkness, while a black cloth covered his face and revealed only his deep-set eyes. With his gaze lowered, he respectfully looked at Xiao Feng before him, though his true thoughts remained impossible to discern.

When I arrived at Grandma’s house, however, the gate was shut. I called for a while, but no one answered. Fortunately, I had brought the key, so I opened the gate and entered the courtyard, only to find that all the doors were locked. Grandma was not home.

It had to be remembered that in a few days, Chu Anxun would also enter the palace under the name of Chu Anshanzhuang to offer birthday congratulations to the Empress Dowager. Time was limited.

This sword carried an overwhelming momentum, as though it had gathered every sharp edge beneath the heavens. The instant it was released, all the lightning in Zhengyang Valley began surging toward the direction indicated by the spirit sword, filling the air with terrifying destructive power.

“You mean Xichen? That’s right. How could I have forgotten him? That day, it was already clear that Zheng Chenheng and Xichen held a different kind of significance for Fu Rongxi.” The day Lu Ziqian referred to was when he had seen Fu Rongxi’s more human side—the time he had gone looking for trouble and provoked Zheng Chenheng.

Lu Diqian had always been simple-minded. Even when the Empress asked him this, he still did not understand. He merely stared at her in a daze.

Ahead of him, those people had already continued their search along the path of the Heavenly Pattern Formation. With the Lin clan elder’s mastery of heavenly patterns, finding the Spiritheart Azure Gold was only a matter of time.

Through this flood of information, Ye Chen learned a number of things about cultivation. He also realized that he had come to another world.

Jiang Yao believed that no one would choose to sacrifice themselves to protect another person. Human beings were selfish; everyone wanted what was best for themselves. A more generous person might want both themselves and their companions to be well, but almost no one would die for a complete stranger—someone they had known for only a few days, whose temper was peculiar and whose true nature was impossible to discern.

“Isn’t his sworn younger brother, Guan Yunzhang, still stationed at Xinye? Don’t worry. Liu Bei has invited Zhuge Kongming to serve as his military adviser. He won’t lose to Liu Jingsheng.” Zhou Yu was brimming with confidence.

The moment the dragonfly touched his palm, it began to change. Its body instantly softened, becoming like a lump of mud, and then transformed into a wisp of fine origin power before dissipating without a trace.

Number One’s mind battled itself for a long time. At last, he hardened his heart and abandoned his duty of guarding the experimental base, heading directly to the research institute to wait. Under the circumstances, this was the best solution. Without additional manpower to support him, continuing to play hide-and-seek with them would clearly put him at a disadvantage.

What was more, he had the air of a nouveau riche and was utterly divorced from art. Seeing that Li Mingrui was about to steal the spotlight again—and although he did not know whether Ding Ning understood piano, he was certain Diba did—he immediately made a few sarcastic remarks to suppress Li Mingrui’s arrogance.

Helan’s heart was in turmoil. She did not know what to do. Even though she had spent so many years living on the edge of life and death, she still could not control her nervousness at this moment.

At that moment, everyone was standing atop General’s Mountain. The General’s Precipice, a hundred meters high, stood to one side, while beyond it stretched the wilderness of Jizhou. The scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

The phantom said nothing. A pair of beastlike eyes fixed themselves intently on Xu Ping. For some reason, Xu Ping found that gaze strangely familiar.

Any information sent from one relay point would be instantly known to the Eagle agents at every other position. The transmission of information was exceptionally smooth. If no reply came, it meant that the Eagle agent in question had met with trouble.

Young Master Gu saw Governor-General Cheng pushing open the door from a distance. After calling out a greeting, he pulled Cheng Xu toward the elevators on the other side of the main hall.

“I’ll see her off.” Xie Qingzhou followed her and pressed down on her car door before she could get in.

Children under the age of three were extremely likely to die young. Their fate was volatile, and the chaos surrounding them made it impossible to calculate their future.

“Judging by the look of things, whatever he’s been doing behind your back lately has really upset you,” Jiang Nan said. “Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come here to block her path.”

The higher the grade of the pill, the more complicated its formula and the more precious the raw materials required.

“Yes.” Jiang Nan agreed. Her intuition told her that this was connected to Feng Liyue. She had no evidence—only an overwhelmingly strong feeling.

Quite a few people had accompanied her, but most of them had to leave on business trips before half a day had passed.
