Volume 1, Chapter 44: A Feint

He had already noticed Su Lin, who was likewise ravaged by the venom. Her face was deathly pale, and despite having taken medicinal pills, her wounds still retained a dark purple hue with an unnatural complexion. Supported by members of the Lotus Domain, it was evident that the virulent poison was difficult to purge, and she could collapse at any moment.

Without further elaboration, Zhao Quan merely stared at Cui Yiming’s displeased expression and said faintly, "Then I must offend you." With a wave of his hand, the troops behind him brushed aside all obstacles and charged straight into the Cui residence, showing no regard for any ties of courtesy or affection. The Cui family servants and retainers made to move, but were stopped by a sharp shout from Cui Yiming.

To propagate doctrines in that manner is fine when the imperial court is enlightened and upright, but once problems arise within the court, your philosophy will inevitably be overthrown by others.

Of course, among them, there were fewer than one hundred thousand core players, while the rest belonged to non-core players, or what could be called peripheral members.

The Blazing Refining Valley ranked first among the twelve major sects. The martial prowess of Huo Jia and Huo Tianlin went without saying, and seeing the two of them chatting leisurely with Yu Chenjie and showing no urgency to step onto the stage for the duel, Ye Minye grew impatient.

For yesterday, the news she had witnessed personally was far more shocking than what she was hearing now.

Lying in bed and listening to the conversation for quite a while, Zhan Xiao finally couldn't help but speak up, "Master Jiao Xuan, could the divine sword you are speaking of be that legendary divine artifact that has recently descended into the world?" A smile surfaced on Zhan Xiao’s face, his eyes filled with eager yearning. The moment he spoke, Qiu Li and the other two turned to look at him simultaneously.

Furthermore, this particle of matter in his dantian could potentially be even more powerful than the original half-body crystal of the poison source.

Innumerable trees began to move entirely on their own, finally arranging themselves into two neat rows to clear a pathway leading straight into the deepest recesses of the forest.

Following Wan Quan, the group walked toward the viewing platform, the staircase winding around the central pillar all the way up.

"That dormitory room should never have had anyone living in it!" Guo Minsheng cast one final glance in the direction of the dormitory and made up his mind. "That room must be sealed off; absolutely no one can live there ever again!" He turned around, threw on a coat, walked out of the office, and headed downstairs.

The openness of the island nation truly opened his eyes. The embarrassed expressions visible on Li Feng and Zhang Xu were entirely absent from his face, replaced instead by a wretched and leering smile.

"Clang!" Deric drew the greatsword from behind his back, and the full power of an eighth-rank warrior erupted from his body! Wisps of mist seemed to flow around the chilling, razor-sharp edge, and his murderous intent kicked up the dust within the cavern.

High up in the air, a sudden bolt of lightning cracked amidst a clear sky, an enduring fury of thunder roaring relentlessly. With the Dark Moon as the center, a dazzling brilliance illuminated a radius of a hundred zhang, entirely swallowing all lines of sight and making it completely impossible for anyone to ascertain the ultimate outcome of that explosion.

Only to see Yu Haochen on the other end of the line twitch the corner of his brow slightly, casting her a faint glance. "Nonsense! In this amount of time, I could have made a round trip several times over!" He had left in the morning, so naturally he could make it back by evening, couldn't he?

Yang Fan looked helplessly at Yang Wanru’s smug expression and fetched a stool, placing it right beside Yang Xuan’s bed. Just as he was about to sit down, Yang Wanru unexpectedly swooped in and took the seat first.

Bidding farewell to Ding Dong, Mason successfully hailed a ride to Lancheng Airport and boarded a flight bound for South Sea City.

When he pressed his eye against the crack of the door, the face of that young boy was finally revealed inside the opulent mansion.

Silently watching Demos depart with resolute determination, she felt a dull, stifling pain in her chest before two warm streams of tears welled up in her eyes.

Young Master Hu remained utterly furious. Seeing this, Steward Hu leaned in and whispered secretively in his ear, "Young Master, do not be anxious. Later, whatever he tries to buy, we will simply drive up the price so that he cannot acquire a single thing. A gold card merely represents status; I refuse to believe his wealth could possibly surpass the ten thousand supreme-grade spirit stones we brought with us."

The weather had turned cold, yet Fu Can and his companion were already beyond feeling such chills; their martial arts had reached a level where they were impervious to both searing heat and bitter cold.

Jiang Yan was indeed the easiest person to kill, yet killing Jiang Yan was not such an easy task either, because Hua Qingyi would not permit it. As long as Hua Qingyi refused to allow it, Breaking Army would find it exceedingly difficult to kill Jiang Yan.

Ever since breaking through to the Sky-Durchdraining Realm, he had rarely experienced such a strong sense of facing a formidable enemy.

On the other hand, the political instructor, serving as the primary grassroots political officer, could not possibly spend every day cooped up with the soldiers. The squad leader could well be said to be the person closest to the soldiers' hearts. Any military force is composed of countless squads, and the caliber of the squad leader directly reflects and influences the combat effectiveness of the troops.

The Young Master of Jiangnan maintained a calm expression, gazing placidly at the Saint Son of the Qishi, the longsword in his hand gleaming with a dazzling white light under the sunlight.

That mass of starlight suddenly detonated, as if the radiance of ten suns had been kneaded together before bursting apart, and the aurora broke forth to shatter the world.

Xue Hongyan had already assumed a combat posture, but upon seeing the descent of Demigod Kumu, she bowed and saluted respectfully. Below the realm of true deities, all ordinary cultivators were required to show obeisance to a deity, including the Five Elements Envoys.

"If both of you feel there are no issues, I can file the lawsuit shortly," Lawyer Yan stated.

"Eighth Brother, I was raised in the Yonghe Palace, and Fourth Brother is just like a real older brother to me. Ninth Princess, and Fourteenth—they are just like my younger sister and younger brother," Xia Mai mused for a moment, looking directly at the Eighth Prince.

"Anyone who covets the Diamond of Life deserves to die; that is the logic of their justice," Xier interrupted Qin Zheng, her eyes fixed ahead, her pretty face displaying unmasked disgust.

"Eighth Lord is indeed smarter than the Primary Consort; he truly comprehendes His Majesty's heart," Suma glanced sideways at Xia Mai, thinking her utterly inept. It was such a failure, having taught her for all these years—truly a colossal failure.
