Otherwise, the Dragon-Tiger Banquet would become nothing more than a contest of magical treasures. How could the children of ordinary families possibly take part?
Moreover, with the power of this primordial divine beast, the Supreme Star Chart could not hold out for even dozens of breaths before it was torn free and shattered.
Everyone was terrified. It was said that when such an omen appeared in the workings of Heaven, it was the surest sign that an entire world was about to be destroyed. No one had imagined that it would actually come true today.
The white wolf advanced with powerful strides. Standing three meters at the shoulder, it was larger than any of the other white wolves. It circled the three of Xing Zeyuan as though toying with its prey.
As the saying went, “Speak like a man to men and like a ghost to ghosts.” When speaking with members of the Imperial Clan, one had to adopt a forceful tone; otherwise, one was unworthy of the right to speak at all.
The Zhou family had originally intended to stay home for a few more days, but when both her father and mother said they had matters to attend to, she had no choice but to take her leave and climb into the sedan chair.
Lu Qingyi instinctively snatched her hand back. Blushing, she glanced around in panic. Only after confirming that no one was nearby did she finally relax.
Thus, whether the Ancient Human King could win over the other major realms and form an alliance with them was of great importance. The other realms naturally understood the principle that when the lips are gone, the teeth grow cold. Yet they were all far from the three supreme ruling powers, and felt that for the moment, it was enough to watch the spectacle. They believed no disaster would reach them.
I wonder how Vermilion Bird Academy has arranged this year’s competition, and whether it will be more exciting than in previous years.
Seeing that Yan Niang had already left, Floating Cloud Master felt awkward about failing to follow her. He hurriedly flashed the two elders an apologetic grin, then hastily mounted his cloud and departed as well.
Ouyang Kuangkuang had already begun considering leaving. But he had come in person, and the alliance ceremony had not yet begun. If he left now, it would be an insult to Bai Ye. And if he simply walked away, what would the others think of the Ouyang family?
Zhou Ting did not search anywhere else. She went straight up to the rooftop. Whenever Gu Nianbin was troubled, he would occasionally go up there for a cigarette.
“Yue’er... you?” Ouyang Xi was just about to speak when Lin Yue raised a finger and placed it over his lips.

The following day, Qin Hongxue came to visit. Even with her exceptional eyesight, she could approach to within a few feet and still be unable to make out his figure clearly. Hidden Maiden had once said that this was a technique known as the Unity of Heaven and Man, one that severed a person from all five senses. Remembering this, she could not help but grow excited.
“Ring, ring, ring...”
The telephone rang again. Luo Qifeng took a few steps, then turned back to glance at Qiao Mu, signaling for her to answer it.
“Son-in-law.” At present, there was only one son-in-law in the Prime Minister’s residence: Lai Shenquan. But wasn’t he the one who had just escorted the bride away? Why had he come back again?
Ouyang Xiu’s eyes trembled. Even so, he knew that these were Mu Fenghua’s innermost feelings, and also a way for her to conceal what was in her heart. She was unwilling to speak of it, and he could only smile bitterly.
“Heh... Three years of companionship were still no match for the shared suffering she had endured with that man, were they?”
Suddenly, a voice was transmitted directly into his soul. Feng Wuqing stiffened; clearly, it was a threat from the old man opposite him.
He had no idea whether that blasted system could truly hear her thoughts, but in an instant, it issued her a mission: find someone in the village with the talent to become a physician.
As the deputy leader of the district’s non-party administration, so long as there were no meetings, emergencies, or sudden central-district work campaigns, and provided that no one from the Economic Planning Bureau, Environmental Protection Bureau, Justice Bureau, or Legal Affairs Office under his supervision came looking for him, Old Mai still had considerable freedom in arranging his daily working hours.
After that came a long string of complaints, saying that Qin Chuan was far too playful. He had acted mature for a moment, then vanished without a trace, which was truly worrying.
Yang Shuai was bitterly disappointed. Revolution, revolution—perhaps that was all these people had in their hearts. They had no idea that construction was a hundred times more important than revolution.
“If you want to stay alive, you must promise me one thing!” Hua Tian said, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Emerald branches and glossy green ribbons swayed through the air, one after another, while the entire locust tree gleamed with a crystalline radiance.
Yet if an accident truly occurred, rescue workers were often powerless to reach the victims in time. In the past, they could usually bring back only bodies frozen stiff. Most of those who met with disaster lost their lives to the bitter cold of the ice sea.
“This realm is completely different from what I imagined!” Qin Chuan murmured. He was following his own path, unlike anyone else.

However one put it, he was confined within a rather small circle and subjected to simultaneous gunfire from three weapons.
At that moment, the Yin Ghost, which had remained motionless until then, suddenly brightened its eyes. As though it had spotted prey, its body blurred into a shadow and shot toward the place where the Blood Shadow had fled.
By the next day, Bai Han was already able to consume some liquid food, which Bai Ling had personally prepared by boiling it with water from the lake.
Wu Hao bombarded the cage formed by the Eight Trigrams Disk like a madman, but the cage was incomparably sturdy. For a time, he could not break through it at all.
“It’s nothing.” Shang Zimu forcibly restrained the urge to hold her captive in his arms. Stiffly extending his gentlemanly hand, he supported her arm and slowly sat down with her.
Even from a distance, a single glance was enough for him to imagine what it would feel like to perform within it.
He had already planned to begin refining some magical treasures, both for his mother and for Xiao Yunyue to use in self-defense.
Qin Zijin pondered the matter. Erbao’s temperament was truly... Never mind. She had no right to criticize anyone.
Qin’s father had acted on his own initiative and forcibly transferred the gratitude for saving that person from his eldest son to his second son.
The patrol officers were already sprinting over from the street. Mingsheng watched Tong An and Li Nuonuo run away, only then recovering his senses and turning to face the patrol officers who were now close at hand.
News that the Dark Tribunal and the Court of Justice would be joining the battle also spread across the forums, immediately exciting every faction.
