Chapter 57
The cold wind poured in, striking his bare upper body. His brows sank slightly as he gazed at the twinkling lights in the distant dark night, suddenly feeling that they resembled a pair of wolf's eyes.
Zhang Chi had once wished to follow Xia Zhaoyi in Heking, but was politely declined by her. Prompted by Mu Tingyu who stood nearby, Zhang Chi went to find Chang Zhicheng outside the city the next day.
"Another thing is to keep an eye on the Immortal Guild and see what movements they make," Mo Ruyan continued.
Hearing yet another splash of someone falling into the water, I quickly stood up and watched the head of that creature, trailing long hair, slowly sink beneath the surface.
Han Zheng immediately led his cousin and two subordinates, using [Teleport] to shorten a portion of their journey, and then sprinted rapidly toward the designated location.
From our position, it was evident that this was a manually excavated tunnel. However, on both sides of the tunnel, at regular intervals, human faces with upturned, rolling white eyes were carved. This circumstance filled us with a profound sense of strangeness.
Seeing this situation, Malekith began ordering the flagship to dispatch Dark Elf spacecraft. Finally, under the bombardment of numerous Dark Elf ships, Malekith returned to the Dark Elf flagship at the cost of the lives of all his remaining soldiers, and then flew away without a trace of hesitation.
Time slowly crept forward, and half-past six arrived! Phyllis glanced at the clock standing in the corner of the room. The church in the due west direction should have plunged into the fires of war by now, yet their location was so distant that they heard not the slightest sound.
"Shut your mouths, all of you," Yunmei's gaze turned icy. How dare anyone bully her younger brother right in front of her?
Jin, Mu, Ah Huo, A Mu, and Qi Qi dared not move forward anymore. They stood there in a daze, not knowing what they ought to do.
After price controls were lifted, the grain market—previously monopolized by just a few state-run entities—suddenly expanded to over forty competitors. What gave Zhao Zhengce a greater sense of reassurance was that the price of rice consistently remained stable between thirty and forty cents per catty, without experiencing any drastic fluctuations.
"We might as well employ those young officers and generals sent by Yang Tian. I see they truly possess talent; since we have already accepted them, it would be a terrible pity to simply leave them unused." Concubine Poppy had actually considered this before as well, but had refrained from suggesting it due to the delicate relations with Zhongwei. Hearing Xi Sa take the initiative to mention it, she naturally gave her consent.
It could be said that he was universally recognized at the time as the [World's Number One ADC], with both his laning and team-fighting abilities standing at the absolute peak of that era.
Yang Tian refused to comply and shouted angrily, "What is there to fear from them?" Knowing beforehand that he would say this, Xi Sa persuaded him, "We are not afraid, but the dragon-beasts belonging to the few of you will surely not escape unharmed. How could it possibly be worth it?" Only then did Yang Tian nod in agreement.
A short time later, Turing turned around in front of all the Okin people and handed over the leadership to Tac. Tac led the crowd in striking their chests and bowing their heads collectively toward Invincible. Invincible nodded in acknowledgment, wrapped his left arm around Turing, dragged a huge ice-worm-skin water sac behind his back, and vanished from the sight of the Okin people.
Concubine Xi bowed respectfully in gratitude and accepted it, a look of doubt crossing her face. "My Consubine, do not lose this! This is a testamentary ring left by my birth mother, North Sakasi, crafted back when the North Saka tribe was at the height of its power; it cannot be easily replicated." "This ring, your concubine has seen it on the hand of the Wing King..." Xi Sa waved his hand and ordered the departure.
Furthermore, this Bodhi wood had failed to ambush him and was now held firmly in his grasp; even if he could not refine it, he had no choice but to keep it.
The burden of this [Intermediate Space Will Trial Permission] far exceeded his imagination. Having endured for merely two seconds—before even managing to catch a clear glimpse of the space's entirety—his spiritual sense was almost completely drained, frightening him into hastily withdrawing from the God's-eye view.
Before she had even figured out what to do, her body had already reacted instinctively. She immediately stepped her other foot into the bathtub as well, curling her body up into a tight ball and trying her best to keep her most intimate parts from being exposed.
Wang Mazi recalled that after dawn, Zhang Tianyin would still reward him with two hundred large silver dollars, instantly energizing him so that as he walked, he felt as though his body were floating in the air.
Zhang Tianyin ate lunch at the special service agency's cafeteria. Yukana was busier with work than Kayako, so right after lunch, she had no choice but to head to the telegram analysis room to work.
"Chiba, I understand what you're saying, but my master is right. Only by achieving success in Dao cultivation can one stand in a broader and vaster world. Otherwise, one can only be like you said, trapped in one cage after another. To break through this cage, we must train ourselves all the more diligently," Qian Feng said.
Zhang Tianyin saw through the man in the short jacket; at the base of his thumb was a hardened callus, clearly caused by frequently gripping a handgun. Listening to this man speak, his words carried much substance, and his tone was standard and proper. No ordinary peasant would dare to speak to a young master like Zhang Tianyin on equal terms.
Su Weiyun constantly asked Luo San and Luo Jiu for guidance on their unique skills, but the two of them deliberately tested him and persistently refused to impart any genuine abilities.
Although Shen Gui currently only possessed the cultivation base of the early Golden Immortal realm, if one were to truly speak of it, let alone the half-step Taiyi realm, as long as it wasn't those primordial mighty ones, even a genuine Taiyi Golden Immortal—what could they possibly do to him?
During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Tianyin had once presented the Lieutenant General with five bars of gold. These five bars of gold had left the Lieutenant General with a deep and lasting impression of Zhang Tianyin.
The envoy returned to the Monta tribe a day later, and unsurprisingly, the Fish tribe accepted almost entirely the food-for-trade proposal put forward by Zhu Wentian.
