The Calamity of Ten Thousand Ghosts immediately perked up at the sound of that. It carefully surveyed its surroundings, then suddenly fixed its gaze on the great tree behind Tong Yan.
As a flash of violet-gold radiance flickered before them, the four people—Mize Rieko and the others—seemed to drift into a daze. Their eyes half closed, while the aura surrounding their bodies underwent violent changes imperceptible to ordinary people.
With one hand patting his son’s back, Daxiang Hirakawa said helplessly, “All right, stop embarrassing me. Shut your mouth already!” He then turned and glanced over the five elite ninjas in succession. Seeing their hands trembling furiously as though they had gone mad, he was so amused that he could not help chuckling himself.
The werewolf Manchester seemed careless, but he was actually meticulous. What he had said was something Chen Zhifan had never considered before. He had always felt that something was missing. Now he realized that it was the lack of basic infrastructure.
Chen Zhifan held the mass of scarlet-red smoke in a loose grip with his left hand and the greatsword in his right. Facing the cold gleam that stabbed straight toward his heart, he twisted his right wrist, and the enormous crimson blade rose to shield his entire upper body.
With the old sect master putting it that way, coupled with his moving performance, Tong Yan understood that no matter how he explained himself, he probably had no power to alter the prejudice everyone held against him. He had lost—and lost utterly.
Although the Sea Demon race’s scheme had been temporarily destroyed and the Sea Demons had suffered a heavy blow, it might still not have been enough to shake their foundations. The Nation of Returning Ruins certainly would not let the matter rest. Having suffered such a great loss this time, they would surely come seeking revenge.
At those words, Yang Yiyi’s face instantly flushed all the way to her ears. “I’m going! I’m going to knock on the door and settle accounts with Dad!” As she spoke, she moved to knock on the door next door.
“Heh, quite the opposite. I intend to buy all the land being auctioned today. You won’t get a single plot!” Luo Hebin’s finger flashed out and lightly tapped Sheng Lingyun’s arm.
“Heh, Elder Qi gives me too much credit. But if there is anything you need me for, just let me know,” Su Xingzhi said with a smile.
Looking closely, it seemed that the rise and fall of the royal capital, and the changes in the situation, had indeed begun when Zhang Le was framed by humans, robbed, and afflicted with a deadly poison that began to take effect.
A chieftain of the ogres glared with eyes brimming with murderous madness, let out an angry roar, and lunged at Ye Tian with his entire body.
A bone spear thrown by an eighth-level warrior was not something that could be caught easily. When Ye Xi seized it, the flesh of his palm was torn to shreds, with white bone showing through. Half the flesh of his palm had been scraped away and was hanging from the spear. The friction had been so fierce that the exposed flesh was even blackened as though burned.

At that moment, the panda’s love of wine was revealed without restraint. Even Hollow Adept had learned to drink with the same theatrical abandon. The panda raised his cup, first offering several to the Azure Firmament Goddess and the Goddess of Earth, then fraternizing with all the immortals as though they were brothers. He drank as if intoxicated by dreams and death, until every diner had eaten the tables bare and overturned the chairs, and everyone was drunk as though lost in a dream.
After hearing the Evil God King’s words, all the other demons and monsters solemnly agreed.
One day, Jiao Ji pondered the matter from every angle and thought, Why not cut down a great tree and lay it across the river? Then people could walk over it to cross, which would be extremely convenient—and surely even better. From then on, everyone called the structure Jiao Ji had invented to help people cross rivers a “bridge.” That was how the bridge came into being.
How could Xiang Si possibly let him succeed so easily? Violet-black light surged from within the greatsword and descended like a mountain pressing down upon him.
The same principle applied here. Originally, Future Advertising and two other advertising companies had divided the market among themselves, and the three sides had coexisted peacefully enough. But once the other two merged into a single company, Future Advertising naturally became the target of everyone’s hostility.
The ice shattered in waves. However, it was breaking far too slowly. At that rate, it would take at least half a month for the cracks to reach Lu Mingshan and Ling Tian.
After only a few seconds of hesitation, Jing Chuan decided that he still had to pursue Qingzhu first. Divine Wander Town was the Lu family’s territory, and many people there knew Qingcheng, so Xueqiao should be in no danger while she was with her.
Another aircraft flew toward him. Judging by its appearance, it seemed to have come to pick him up.
This old man had presided over the Sixty-Year Martial Arts Tournament nine hundred times, with one tournament held every sixty years. He must have lived for at least fifty-four thousand years, leaving Yuyang Lin, who would not turn twenty-one for another nineteen days, filled with astonishment.
“Now that I examine you, I find that the six-colored particles within your bones have completely fused with them, and their colors have grown even more vivid.”
“Moreover, every time your physical body breaks through a realm and condenses origin energy, it bears the accumulated pressure of the laws of that realm. It is precisely because of this pressure that you are fundamentally unable to break through and condense origin energy again at your current level.”
The method Lin the Bold used was actually not much different from Liu An’s. No one had expected him to advance successfully. One could only wonder how those who had failed were supposed to feel.
Fist and palm collided, and their power exploded with a thunderous shock. Even the Realm of Truth and Illusion was collapsing! Vital energy caved in, while white flames filled the sky.

Far away, Yu Ziche, who was approaching Yuyang Lin, also showed a slight change in expression, as though he had sensed the rich bloodline aura emanating from the young man.
What Xia Tian was worried about were the employees who had entered through family connections. Relying on their relationships, they might refuse to obey the managers and disrupt the company’s normal order.
“Hmph! I knew long ago that I wouldn’t die!” Old Immortal I Alone said disdainfully, as though the danger just now had been nothing more than a drizzle. The Flame-Silence Formation contained more than just Old Immortal I Alone and the Fire Phoenix; quite a few cultivators were trapped inside as well. Most of them had been annihilated. A small number, like Old Immortal I Alone, had fought their way out, and all of them now gazed at the Flame-Silence Formation with lingering fear.
From now on, they would no longer be ordinary mortals. They had to sever their worldly attachments and devote themselves wholeheartedly to the path of immortality. This ritual was their farewell to the last remnants of mortal thought.
He was dressed in a suit and looked exactly like a Black white-collar worker. When he saw Xiao Lin, he warmly invited him to eat with them and asked the auntie to bring him a bowl of century-egg and lean-pork congee as well. This was not mere pretense. Xiao Lin and the others had originally been due to arrive late the previous night, but their car had broken down halfway, delaying them for a long time.
“I don’t like wasting time either.” Since he was showing off, the young master naturally refused to lower himself before anyone else and replied coldly.
Gin Ichimaru sat with his legs crossed. His tone sounded distinctly cool and indifferent, yet somehow Misuzu Kamio detected a hint of schadenfreude in it.
In the rearmost bedroom of the residence, the old man lay dejectedly upon his redwood bed, which had clearly seen many years of use.
For various reasons, the scene fell into a brief silence. Afterwards, the four people divided into two sides and no longer attacked one another.
“Ruoli, don’t worry about me. You’re no match for them.” Seeing that she intended to face the other four alone, Li Qing grew somewhat anxious. In his desperation, he directly called her by the intimate name Ruoli.
