The Jade Emperor furrowed his brows; with the Demon Realm invading at this very moment, he had no time to spare for the Queen Mother.
Seeing this, the expressions of the Thirteen Immortals of the Northern Heavens eased slightly. After all, Zi Wuxie represented their Northern Heavens and had finally lived up to the title of "Martial Maniac."
Reflecting on this, Wang Ying watched the unfolding situation with composure. If anyone dared to bully the members of his Wang family, he would show no mercy, even here in Star-Moon City.
He buried his fingers in his hair, twisting it tightly, struggling to suppress his loss of control, yet he could not stop his body from trembling or his shoulders from heaving. Monkey and Zhu Qing knew deeply just how much pain and self-reproach their brother carried in his heart.
The list of IOUs in Chen Xuanhua’s hands grew shorter and shorter. Chang Gehang led the entire household of the Prince of Jin to visit those listed one by one; most of the noble clans in Chang'an City were not spared.
Although Cheng Yaojin did not understand how to deploy troops or arrange formations, he possessed other experiences that could be applied—the most important being military discipline and regulations.
He clearly did not want to agree with Chang Gehang’s remarks, yet he could not think of a way to refute them. The earliest form of trade was barter, which could be considered the origin of commerce.
Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo sat in the seats of honor. Their moods were clearly good, and their faces wore smiles, a stark contrast to the solemnity of the imperial court.
This was, of course, not to say that Li Qiang had also gone mad; rather, after much thought, he felt this was the only way left for him to help "share the burden" for Huzi.
With their weapons broken, their lethality was greatly reduced. Long swords were their strength, an extension of their own arms, and now, forced to use them as daggers, they felt completely out of their element.
Although it was the young man passing on these words, she recalled the expression and demeanor Zhang Hao had when he originally said them, which made her believe deeply that Zhang Hao would indeed do as he said.
In their eyes, while Lin Yan’s display just now had been miraculous and his methods astonishing, the power of reincarnation was far too formidable to be blocked so easily by him.
One must mention a certain point here: the Japanese team were typical "keyboard warriors." They always felt superior, boasting of noble bloodlines, little knowing that in the eyes of the Americans, they were merely errand boys—without them, they were nothing. This had nothing to do with the team itself, but was a deep-seated, innate sense of superiority.

"Relax. There are no outsiders here. No matter what happens, with me here, who in this world could possibly harm the Heavenly Emperor?" Hearing this voice, Yun Zhong Feixue hurriedly sat down, sighing deeply in her heart. It seemed she had been overthinking; with the Master here, why did she need to cause any trouble?
Yaomei was asleep, her delicate, jade-like hand resting on my forehead. Instantly, a refreshing sensation emerged in my mind, and my spirit was immediately restored.
Li Yunxuan retreated in terror, yet Meng Huiyi noticed that the ice dragon’s eyes were flecked with gold and moved with a mechanical quality.
In his view, a man should create a grand career for himself; to settle for mediocrity was only a choice one was qualified to make after having achieved something magnificent.
But now, even while being suppressed, Black Earth’s ghost energy was fighting her to a standstill! If not for the ten-thousand-year-old ice dragon soul, would she not have lost to Black Earth?
Qin Yue frowned slightly, lost in thought, while Elizabeth Lina was in no hurry. She merely rested her hands on Qin Yue’s arms, gazing at him with pulses of affection, her eyes filled with adoration.
The imperial court frowned upon collusion between officials and merchants, so most officials did not open shops to amass wealth. However, it was not considered a breach of law if their family members did so.
Huang Sheng slumped in his chair, looked at the text message his father had just sent, cursed, "a bastard is still a bastard," and dialed a string of numbers that had no contact name but were etched into his memory.
"He intends to intercept us at Hanyang Pass. The terrain of Hanyang Pass is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. This is bad—could he have set an ambush here?" Wanyan Zongwang was startled.
That old fox Feng Cheng just sat there watching the show; it seemed he truly did not care about his son, Feng Huayin.
Luling Prefecture had drawn in tens of thousands of Qing troops and countless firearms, resulting in such a fierce battle and such a major event—how could it not be chaotic?
Thanks to his outstanding performance on the show, Xu Mengfan’s popularity skyrocketed; he bore much of the resemblance of Gong Yang in his prime.
No matter how peerless a genius you are, you cannot escape the power of time. Even the ancient Great Emperors eventually perished and vanished in the river of time.

The Blood Fiend Sect was indeed a top-tier power in the Western Wu Empire, especially with its rapid development in recent years. Experts at the Martial King level emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, with every sign of becoming a super-power within the Western Wu Empire.
—Then, live with all your might. Si La Si La finally died, his method as bizarre and eccentric as ever.
Having witnessed the cruelty of this god and this wolf, no one dared to provoke these two fierce spirits again. They retreated far away, fearing they could not get away fast enough. Knowing that hiding was useless, Ye Xiao stopped darting into the deep forests and mountains, instead gathering all his strength and bolting for his life.
Suddenly, a sharp sword flew from Yueguang’s mouth, severing the tail the Young Prince had wrapped around her. Yueguang seized the opportunity to leap forward, putting distance between herself and the Young Prince.
"Wha... what? A... a Half-Ancestor?" These holy spirits were nearly scared to death. They only possessed Imperial-level cultivation; how could they withstand the soul pressure of a Half-Ancestor? Instantly, they all prostrated themselves on the ground.
"What you say makes sense, but what exactly do you want us to do for you?" the Young Prince pressed.
The two seemed to be old acquaintances. The man nicknamed "Savage Bull," a Zero, had been trying to break free from the entanglement of the Young Prince’s tail, but could not shake it. "Damn you, you bastard!" the man roared. Just then, the tail wrapped around the Young Prince loosened.
And so, early in the morning, Huang Shanzhong, draped in dragon robes, arrived in person at Vermilion Bird Street, the liveliest street in the Imperial City, to have his men set up the venue.
Concession—yielding a piece of the sky, a sky that leaves no distance between us. This is a magnanimous love, a communication of hearts and an exchange of affections, which allows us to understand the value of "yielding" in times of danger.
Before long, the group chose a spot by the mountains and water. Chu Zifeng and Su Mu sat there admiring the scenery, Wei Muyuan slowly tended to the fire before him, and Lin Yu had shed his damp clothes, the moisture still lingering on his shoulders as he focused intently on preparing the fish.
