Chapter Twenty-Six: The Egg

However, Mo Yan and the Twin Demons surely had preparations in place; subduing them should be effortless. Then, having Dong Fei escort them back to the Imperial City would allow for the Black Lotus Society to be captured in one fell swoop. The events of the past and the present would finally come to a resolution.

The surrender faction and the anti-surrender faction argued incessantly atop the city walls. The dispute grew more heated, and it seemed they would not reach a conclusion for days. How could Lu Bu not discern the intentions of both sides? Neither party wished to surrender; they hoped to stall for time through constant bickering, waiting for Pang Yan’s army to return and rescue them.

"The Great Evolution Formation is not something your mortal eyes can perceive! Your cultivation is still far from sufficient!" Chang Feng said helplessly.

Residual Shadow was indeed arrogant. Having circled behind Shi Jingtian with such incredible speed, he still did not strike, as if mocking him.

Zhao Han nodded and turned to leave immediately. His departure was decisive and crisp, devoid of any hesitation or calculated pretense, leaving Shao Zhen momentarily stunned.

Yang You paid him no heed, stating bluntly that Wang Zhonghai was not qualified! This was undoubtedly a resounding slap to his face, audible and stinging.

"The matter must begin with Gong City..." Since Xing Yun was no outsider, Ming Xuan began to speak casually.

Xu Jiangnan remarked offhandedly, "Regarding the Fang family, do you know something?" He felt that Chen Zheng would not speak without reason; he must have obtained some information and was testing the waters.

After showing Ming Xuan to his seat, the young woman slipped behind a screen, seemingly whispering to someone else. A gentleman does not listen to what should not be heard, so Ming Xuan pretended he had heard nothing.

Xu Jiangnan did not get angry, nor did he force his way in. Instead, he smiled and told the doorman, "When your master returns, mention this matter to him, and the truth will be known."

She had climbed the ladder step by step to the position of General Manager of the Engineering Department. How could he arrive and assume such a condescending posture? He refused. He told headquarters that if this was to be a trial, then he would serve as the General Manager of the Engineering Department.

"Big Sister, don't blame Yao'er; it was my meddling." Qi Zhang hurried to mediate. Although he was mentally prepared, he truly could not grasp his sister’s temperament.

"Is there really no other way?" A man paced back and forth anxiously, a black cloak draped over his back, the two fierce tiger epaulets on his shoulders looking quite striking.

It was obvious that Qi Liu likely had some history with the Duchess of Wei, which was why the Duchess did not wish to intervene.

"Gentle, it hurts!" Because they had not been together for so long, Yun Luofei was not accustomed to it, and she could not help but frown and let out a low moan.

Both sides had their strengths and weaknesses, and for a time, they were deadlocked. The Silver Wolf dared not launch an attack rashly, and Shen Qingxuan and the other two dared not act recklessly.

Just as Chu Jingtian had finished refining all the seventh-tier swords, Song Weiyang came to report that someone from Dragon Valley had arrived seeking an audience.

She looked up at the ceiling where there was evidence of leaking. She pointed to it and asked, "Is the floor above being renovated too?" Engineer Xu stammered, unable to speak; the floor above was indeed being renovated, and he was the supervisor in charge.

He had always been in business, and he understood its tactics and sales. After the sugar refinery was built, he sold the white sugar produced at prices below the market rate, allowing his factory’s sugar to quickly capture the market.

In truth, both Ye Hui and Ye Song knew that given what they had done to Ye Bing and his son years ago, no normal person would choose to forgive them.

Shen Linfeng kept his affairs well-hidden and never spoke of them easily. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. He looked as though he had locked those matters deep within his heart, unable to speak of them even if he wanted to.

Dian Feng began to try walking on the snow. He had not noticed anything unusual, but the coldness in his primordial spirit was becoming increasingly apparent.

This was merely a deduction; the rest relied on the combat patterns obtained during the previous ten minutes of fighting. Only by accounting for this pattern could he precisely determine the assassin's position.

I cursed angrily and slammed my palm onto the table. Liu Xiao was startled by me, but he did not say anything more.

She even harbored a suspicion that Dian Feng had already sensed the tea had been tampered with, and she felt a sudden rush of panic.

"The meaning is, of course, that to approach a rare spirit fruit, one must set aside one's pride, which is inferior to the fruit! Simply put, only by bowing to it do you have a chance to get close!" Ming explained.

Zhao Yan nodded and ran off to find those items. I took off Zhang Tao’s shirt. On his chest was a distinct black bite mark from which purple-black blood flowed, and wisps of black vapor rose.

He was completely unguarded, never imagining that this body cultivator had not yet fled and was thinking of killing him.

"What?" I asked. Wei Qi and Old Man Sao were also confused by Ling Jing’s demeanor and leaned in curiously.

Indeed, she still could not forgive me. It was I who led her into the fire pit; if she blamed me, it was only natural.

Perhaps in some corner of China, there was an invisible tycoon whose net worth dwarfed those on the top rankings.

It was strange; although he was in a dream, it was as if he had seen through the vanity of the world—yes, seen through it—carrying a sense of keeping people at a distance.

If they succeeded, their Tang family would have a Foundation Establishment expert residing in their estate! Just thinking about it was enough to make them tremble with excitement.

Meeting her alluring cat-like eyes, the impulsive Qin Moqian suddenly stepped back in confusion.

After the mecha circled around and left, only the distorted heat waves and the friction marks on the ground remained as evidence that someone had just been there.

Upon hearing the name called out by His Highness the Crown Prince, the two guards realized that this was indeed the Eldest Princess.

A sudden, sharp pain caused the man in black to stifle a groan, cold sweat beading on his forehead. The next moment, the long sword impaling his leg was withdrawn, bringing forth a spurt of blood, and his face turned deathly pale from the agony of the blade's removal.

Three of the four blacksmith shops were gone, leaving only the Han family’s shop. Yang Xiu turned his gaze toward the Han brothers.

He had never seen his master so angry, and what’s more, it seemed like an anger that had no outlet.

Back then, when the Emperor fought Chiyou, the Qilin was the Emperor’s mount. Chiyou’s mount was also legendary, a black and white species known as the "Iron-Eating Beast." As soon as Matthew heard this, he knew—wasn't that just a giant panda?
