46 Potential

The relevant departments in the town simply refused to cooperate, and their reasons were entirely justified. With no other choice, Chen Qiaoshan had to go down to the villages to conduct interviews, which finally opened up a breakthrough.

The Azure Phoenix was a weapon that made every general's head ache; even fierce warriors like Xu Chu would feel a shudder of trepidation upon seeing it.

"Don't talk to me about this. My opinion doesn't matter; you should ask our dad." This was something Chen Weiguo ought to worry about. After all, there was a generational buffer between them and Zhang Yiyi, and Chen Qiaoshan clearly had no hand in the matter, nor any room to intervene.

Such incidents occurred one after another, and the next emergency would quickly make them forget what they had witnessed just moments before.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it!" Deep down, Zhen Qian did not believe that the Wang family would trail them all the way from Luquan County to Yangzhou. However, the appearance of the Wang family in Yangzhou also raised his vigilance. For some reason, Zhen Qian felt that the situation was far from as simple as he had imagined.

Chen Chuliang answered Han Zhi with practical actions. His hands slowly slid down along the curve of her hips, touching skin as smooth as silk. The two of them pressed close together, and Chen Chuliang could feel the soft warmth emanating from Han Zhi's body.

He had called Chen Chuliang over not only to get this younger brother involved in the venture, but more importantly, to have him act as a gatekeeper. With Chen Chuliang's discerning eye, his judgment far surpassed his own, and he could tell whether cooperating with Guo Minghao, the Cantonese businessman, truly had any future.

"That's it then. I've lived on Burning Mist Island for a while, so we can still be considered half-compatriots." Doran seemed quite pleased.

On the ship, he rarely maintained a physical form. Even in his ghost shape, lifting a barrel of fish was effortless for Daniel.

"What's wrong with this platform now?" Luka asked, looking down at the golden-tinted ground beneath his feet.

With this move on the chessboard, regardless of whether Wang Tiance's son lived or died, he would secretly pass the news out, and the original Divine Martial Manor would inevitably react.

Wang Anfeng took out the parting gift sent by Wuxin and discovered that the dried lilies inside were not ordinary goods, but top-tier items of exceptional quality. Without being a true connoisseur, one could never manage to pry such treasures from the hands of astute merchants.

"I... I also want to go burn a stick of incense for her." Wanxi wheeled her chair in front of the mirror, helped him comb his hair, and mustered the courage to speak.

"Authentic Ma Yuji white tea, gold medalist at the Panama World Expo. They only harvest those top-tier, exquisite teas from just a few trees on their tea mountain in Fuzhou every year." Wu Caicai had always loved luxury and had yearned for Ma Yuji for a long time.

Things turned out exactly as expected. Three days later, an imperial edict arrived from the capital, ordering the Prince of the Northern Frontier to immediately muster an army of 300,000 and set out on an expedition to Longxi, with strict instructions to recover the territory of the Great Zhou. On the day of departure, the army was delayed and failed to march. No one in the camp knew the reason; it was only rumored that the personnel had not fully assembled.

"Impossible. I put my bag on the luggage rack," Cha Taifei denied flatly. He remembered—or rather, thought—it was lost.

In the late years of the Daye era, Li Jing served as the Vice Administrator of Mayi Commandery, fighting against the Tujue under Li Yuan's command. At the time, Li Yuan, who served as the Grand Inspector of Taiyuan for the Sui dynasty, was secretly recruiting soldiers and gathering horses, harboring ambitions for the realm. Li Jing perceived Li Yuan's motive and disguised himself as a prisoner, intending to travel to Jiangdu to report him to Emperor Yang of Sui.

"Gongsun Jin, do you want to die?" Qin Rushe rolled her eyes and tied a dead knot in the bundle she was holding.

In reality, the actual situation was not like that, because this beetle with armor and wings that had been pocketed by the Demihuman was no ordinary beetle.

In the distance, the Grand Priestess wore a calm expression. As she opened her palms, a sudden flash of golden light surged from within her hand.

"Look past it? I'd like to... sigh." Li Xueying sighed, looked toward the ancestral hall, and walked over in silence. Her mind was truly in turmoil, and she just wanted some peace and quiet. As for Fang Zheng's words, she simply regarded them as him trying to comfort her.

Ah Huang inwardly sighed that if their so-called Five Elements companions could indeed reunite this time, they would only drift even more in the future, with no fixed abode. Aside from elemental spiritual treasures, it would probably be impossible to bring along any permanent helpers; they would simply have to take things as they came and grab whatever assistance was available at hand.

Hearing this, Lin Yu did not dwell further on the matter. He suddenly felt that the mask's attitude toward him was somewhat unusual; although the wearer still maintained an uninhibited demeanor upon parting, he could sense subtle shifts in attitude from their subsequent conversation.

Many of the followers from the Mingyu Kingdom strongly doubted who this silver-masked individual—who had suddenly appeared and supposedly enjoyed a good relationship with the Feather King—actually was. Why had they never heard of him before?

This was unfair. From the moment Xiahou Chen was born, his innate talent was exceptional, and coupled with his status, he had access to cultivation resources ordinary people could never dream of. The towering height of his strength could already be said to be a foreordained certainty.

"Second Brother thinks too highly of me and honors me with your presence. I'll treat Second Brother to drinks after this is all over," Chang Kaixi accepted with unrestrained joy.

"You're from the Blood Flame Palace!" It was not a question, but a statement of certainty. Xing Lian raised her slender hand, and the red lotus light in her palm flashed violently, her killing intent entirely unmasked.

Most importantly, the Li family's army had the Great Tang as its backing. Whether it was troop reinforcements or grain supplies, there was no need to worry. Therefore, by comparison, the Li family's army still held the advantage.

None of those continuously fleeing noticed Liu Tian's whereabouts. Only Xiao Tianhe, who cared most about Liu Tian, witnessed this scene. Stunned beyond measure, he paused for a split second, only to be overtaken by a blood demon. Just as the blood demon's maw was about to bite into his head, Xiao Tianhe activated his proxy-death puppet.

"Disaster? Younger brother, what kind of disaster could I possibly foresee in Jizhou? Might it pose a threat to my life?" Dong Zhuo asked anxiously.

The two of them arrived at the Qingyu Kingdom within the Lingshan Holy Realm. This was the jurisdiction of the Greedy Demon Immortal, populated by a vast number of Buddhist disciples. Moreover, Master Fulin—ranking second only to the Buddha himself at that time within the Lingshan Holy Realm—resided right in the Qingyu Kingdom.

"My cultivation has encountered a slight problem. I need to go into seclusion to adjust it, and take the opportunity to cultivate for a few years," Liu Tian said, looking at their expressions without exposing them, and directly stating his reason.

"Chang'an, stop making a fuss for a moment and listen to me." He trapped her within his embrace, preventing her from harming herself.

"Old grudges and new scores, I'll settle them all with you today. Don't you run!" Ling Xi refused to let go, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws as she lunged to grab Rong Kai.
