Volume 1, Chapter 65: So fond of splashing ink, do you think you're Qi Baishi?

"WE are NUMBER ONE——"

"Since Your Majesty is so clever, you guess it!" A strange smile appeared on Donglv Wei's face. As she spoke, a short sword had appeared in her hand out of nowhere. Resembling a dagger, it stabbed directly toward Huo Guang with lightning speed.

"...When we first fought it, we lost more than twenty soldiers in a single battle, and even used howitzers, yet we still failed to kill it and let it escape," Cheng Hui continued reminiscing.

"A residual mental projection!" Linger murmured softly before immediately realizing the impropriety of her words. This was clearly a remnant phantom left behind by a supreme powerhouse using their primordial spiritual consciousness. Once triggered, it could replay certain messages left by the person before dissolving completely. She hurriedly pressed her lips together and uttered not another word.

"Rise and speak. Actually, there is no need for you to belittle yourself so. Do you know why I made them wait outside and what it means for me to let you in here?" Huo Guang leaned back against the chair and said indifferently.

The command room was situated too close to the epicenter of the nuclear explosion, and to make matters worse, a stray rocket-propelled grenade had found its way through the ventilation shaft into the deeper recesses of the fortress.

"It has been a long time since I last visited the Empress. Having some free time today, I thought I would drop by." Emperor Wu of Han reached out to pull Wei Zifu to her feet. Looking at the Empress, whose face was now covered in wrinkles and whose hair had thinned considerably, he once again felt that time spares no one; not only had he grown old, but his once-beautiful Empress had aged as well.

"Y-Yes~" Hearing this, the bewitching man shuddered once more and answered nervously.

Immediately afterward, Shang Buqu picked up the phone again, dialed his office number, and instructed Luo Chong, the head of the office, to come to his office at once.

Based solely on these two introductions, the strength of the Sun Family Courtyard and the advantages of gambling on rough stones there were immediately highlighted. Jadeite cut open at the Sun Family Courtyard would invariably possess superior clarity, moisture, and quality.

Within a ten-mile radius, the heaven and earth under Zhang Hao's defense were completely enveloped by this purple thunder. By this time, he was already seated cross-legged in mid-air, yet Zhang Hao had not even utilized the Lightning God Pool, the third-layer space within the Tongtian Pagoda.

Ruan Mingzhu felt a stifling sensation in her chest, as if someone had shoved a massive boulder down into her stomach.

As the appointed day of the trial drew near, viewed from the boundless void beyond the realm, streams of dazzling light formed by soaring divine chariots converged from all directions toward the designated gathering place ordained by the Extraterrestrial Palace.

Those people reacted instantly, forcing Li Feng and the team leader, who were about to step inside, back out again.

"None of them? Then what did you come here for? If it's none of these, then there is no need for us to negotiate at all," Yang Feng sneered.

Just as the opponent's fist was about to smash into Xu Rui, Ding Fan, standing to the side, directly reached out and grabbed the attacker's arm in a vice-like grip.

Li Xu laughed heartily and sang to it with even greater enthusiasm, even performing a belly dance and shaking his hips for it.

Independent cultivators spend their entire lives searching for cultivation resources, but the vast majority of them perish along the way. The extremely rare few who manage to reach the realm of refining the spirit to merge with the void are mostly bandits like the Black and White Fiends, but Du Chen had no desire to live that kind of life.

"I have said it many times: to be my Princess Consort, you cannot rely blindly on me. I can save you once, but I cannot protect you for a lifetime." Being by his side meant danger, and the dangers in the days to come would only multiply.
