Tang Sekong’s expression changed at once. Those who cultivated martial power were generally healthy unless they were injured or had suffered cultivation deviation. At Bai Dede’s level of cultivation in particular, dry heaving could only mean one thing.
First, one had to possess cultivation at or above the Sovereign Realm. Then came layer upon layer of selection; only the most outstanding few would have the chance to enter the Law Enforcement Hall.
Chu Chen walked forward. As he approached, the palace doors opened of their own accord, and he stepped inside.
Zhao Zixun cast Shang Yixiao a complicated glance. Recalling the ambiguous scene he had witnessed in the courtyard moments earlier, he had never imagined that Shang Yixiao possessed such ability. Not only had she thoroughly subdued Shen Moxiao, she was now entangled ambiguously with Second Master Yi as well. It seemed that Dong Lan would not be the only one who needed to make amends; Zhao Qing would not escape either.
…
The group soon set out. They left Heaven-Stepping Divine City and entered the abyss at the entrance to the Ancient Demon God Cave.
“That’s right, Second Brother. Don’t you have some capable men at your disposal? No matter how formidable Shang Yixiao is, she can’t dodge bullets. Get a sniper—he’ll definitely be able to take her out.” Wei Xu eagerly chimed in. He always felt that without Shang Yixiao, the Nine Lakes District would forever remain the Wei family’s territory.
After resting on the throne for a while, Wang Qi opened the Trial Shop. It contained far more items than before, and the first thing to appear before him was a manual of cultivation techniques.
Lu Jin felt that he had truly gone mad. The corners of his mouth lifted into a subtle, pleased smile.
Jiang Luo stopped struggling. Even if she could not go up, it would still be nice to take a look. She was genuinely curious to see what he would make of it. He had even managed to remember the three words “the bathroom.”
In a single sentence, the comment section below exploded with frenzied reposts and replies, though most of them were questioning Qi Weiguo.
“If that is the case, then Young Master must have something he wishes to ask?” Master Liaoran was quite skilled at reading people’s expressions.
According to Lu Hai, this expert had the highest cure rate in the United States for such difficult and unusual diseases.

“Ping Si, hurry up and eat. Once we’re finished, we’ll head to Xiaojingli in Wen County.” Guo Jia issued the order.
Sun Boyang had spent many years in the palace and knew a great deal about the sinister affairs of the inner court, yet he still spoke a fair word for the Palace of Earthly Tranquility. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that the palace had surely been wronged; the signs of a deliberate frame-up were far too obvious. Why would the empress give the emperor poison? It simply made no sense.
To be precise, it could not really be called a stable. It was merely a place where Cheng Pu and the others’ warhorses gathered to rest and eat fodder.
The frenzied energy contained within was far beyond what someone of the Dao Arts Realm could refine. Although Lei Yan’s physical body was exceptionally powerful, it was clearly insufficient against such terrifyingly violent energy.
Sun Quan had not heard what Cai Mao whispered, but judging from Liu Biao’s expression, the words had evidently confirmed what that mysterious benefactor had said.
This was the point Shen Ning held to most firmly in her heart: in this life, the Shen family absolutely could not repeat the mistakes of the previous one.
The Feng family. This time, the Ouyang clan had chosen the Feng family as its marriage alliance—a power that had never truly entered Lei Yan’s field of vision, and one that even the elders of the Ouyang clan had never heard of.
Yet the Crown Prince had failed to recognize the situation. He still believed Qi Yunhao had merely acted impulsively and was even preparing to seize upon his words and turn the tables on him. How could the emperor not feel disappointed and enraged?
When Luo Xia heard Isabella defending him, he was momentarily rendered speechless with amusement, though a trace of warmth still rose in his heart.
“Fourth Brother, forget it. Those people are not to be trifled with,” Ren Qiong urged. The Celestial Star Hall was nothing like the Eastern Courtyard. It was filled with experts, and its relationships were intricate and tangled. They did not want Ximen Zhuixue to get into trouble.
Mu Wanting went to the front hall. In the very center of the residence, she lifted the broken harp string and reattached it to the harp.
“Don’t be afraid. This is my mother, and that is my father. They brought medicine to treat your wounds, and plenty of candy too—the kind you love most, don’t you?” Yi Yi patiently spoke to the wolves.

“One represents our side, while the other represents outsiders?” Ran Ting gazed at the Fairy of Zhaoyao with a smiling expression. Even at a moment like this, she had not forgotten to sow discord between Qin Lu and the Fairy of Zhaoyao.
Could it be that calling one’s own master “Mother” was not the proper and natural thing to do?
There were also jadeite Guanyin statues and red coral ornaments, every piece a priceless treasure. Even the empress dowager, who was accustomed to gold, silver, and jewels, felt dazzled by the sight.
“Pink. I like pink.” Seeing Wu Junxi flying toward me, I hurriedly closed my eyes and cried out.
She was already so busy that she could barely keep her head above water, yet she still insisted on coming over to pickle vegetables for us. Next time anything happens, we absolutely must not let her find out.
“I came to see you. It’s been so long since the start of term, and I still haven’t visited your class. As your fiancé, I’ve been rather negligent.” Su Qiao smiled at Nuannuan, his voice exceptionally gentle and indulgent.
The giant insect’s inner-demon tribulation had reached its final stage. A human face continued to writhe across its insect body.
The junior disciples behind him were even fiercer. Seeing their senior brother succeed, they thrust their long spears without pause. The Xiongnu opposite them were struck one after another, and more than a dozen fell dead in the first exchange. The Xiongnu, accustomed to seeing the Han people cower in weakness, were plainly stunned.
As the dignified head of one of the halls of the Heaven-Penetrating Sect, if he were to die inexplicably within the Heavenly Beast Sect, how could the Heaven-Penetrating Sect possibly let the matter rest? Not only would he bring a calamity of immense proportions upon his sect, he would also be unable to defend himself and would be held fully responsible.
After passing through the long street beyond the city gate, they saw a broad river flowing through the heart of Lan Commandery City. Two or three lantern-lit boats drifted across its surface, while the lights of the buildings along both banks shimmered upon the water, creating a night scene as beautiful as a painting.
