Volume 1, Chapter 36: The List of Rebels
If Yang Danxin were not in mortal danger, the Profound Heaven Sword King, Wang Datong, might not have accompanied him to the provincial capital. When passing through Xianyun Town, why not stop by Wang Datong's Great Python Valley? If Wang Datong were there, wouldn't certain matters become clear?
After all, Li Min’s deployment of troops to Jingde Town this time was intended to open up trade routes and restore Suzhou’s tariff revenues; naturally, he had to prioritize keeping Jingde Town intact. By now, Li Min already knew that the garrison in Jingde Town was no more than a thousand men, with the powerful Wang and Li families secretly acting as internal support. Naturally, there was no need for Li Min to ignite a battle within the town.
"In the beginning, our theater troupe didn't have many people willing to sponsor us, so we had to do everything ourselves," Luo Yifan continued.
Previously, Hu Fulang had not disclosed Li Yiwuo’s official position or his relationship with the Emperor, so when Yu Fu heard it, he was stunned. He had only assumed that the person who entrusted Hu Fulang to propose a marriage was a low-to-mid-ranking officer in the Imperial Guard; he never expected it to be such a high-ranking official.
The first wooden board slid to the bottom, and then the second board knocked against the first. The board beneath him flipped over, falling into the lake a little further ahead.
"Why is this?" Shimo Guangyan swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and asked Shopkeeper Zheng.
The once-tumultuous situation had calmed down as a result, leaving only the sales of gold bonds in a frenzy. With thousands of tons of gold added to the reserves, the security of the gold bonds was greatly enhanced. More importantly, it had become a currency that the indigenous people of the Western Continent were willing to accept.
Guided by the familiar scent and warmth, the fragmented souls scattered across the battlefield slowly gathered upon her palms.
"Lord Demon King, is this the place?" Ryunosuke Uryu inhaled the sweet scent of blood in the air, leaning down to peer into the crack exposed by the shattered sewer beneath the ground.
At the moment Bai Su was about to collapse, Chen Jingmo did not let go. Instead, she supported his arm to steady him. Feeling the irregular spasms in his palm muscles, Chen Jingmo saw a bluish tint rising on his face.
The venue was set at the largest international hotel in City A, with a display of brilliance and golden light that was in no way inferior to an international banquet.
"Go and bring me the detailed files on these eight people." As soon as he finished speaking, Dinke reached back and placed the files for the eight people in front of Bing Qirui.

A northwest wind blew through the night, leaving the world desolate and vast. Most of the withered leaves on the trees had been swept away by the wind, leaving them looking stark and bare.
Both old men had been severely injured, yet they could still unleash such violent power. If all three of them had attacked at the same time just now, both he and Yang Xin would have surely died.
Thus, after a long period of adjustment, two distinct camps gradually formed within the office.
The next instant, Jian Jian’s figure retreated violently, and the blade that had been blocked for that split second slammed down onto the ground.
Ye Shaoxuan’s strike this time was far from as simple as it appeared on the surface. Compared to the Xuanyuan Sword, which erupted with golden light, the black Emperor Slaying Sword appeared remarkably plain and unadorned.
"Passed out?" Wei Yefeng felt somewhat disappointed. He pinched her face, already deathly pale, and forced her to face him.
Shenxing Wuhua kept his posture just as it was, rolling over from time to time. However, his entire body was in such pain that his left leg had now lost all sensation.
Shen Bingrao summoned the Holy King’s Command, channeling her spiritual energy into the token. The token radiated silver light once more, and the two characters for "Holy Command" actually floated off the surface, manifesting as large golden characters suspended in mid-air, exuding an imposing pressure.
Chang Ge Yue watched Bizhu’s receding figure and slowly opened the window. It seemed that there were quite a few people who wouldn't be sleeping tonight.
Shen Bingrao summoned a bottle directly from her storage space, containing at least twenty Qi Refining Pills. To her, they were nothing, but to Qin Che, it was a moment of shock that left him moved to tears.
Suddenly, a cooling sensation flowed through their entire bodies, and the areas of numbness began to improve.
Before Yun Wanyong could finish her self-defense, she caught sight of the pellet that had rolled away, then looked at Qi Chen’s left hand, and felt a sudden pang of frustration.

The Spirit Healers of the Peach Blossom Territory, who were meditating, sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air and immediately regained their composure, looking up.
If he were truly calm, he wouldn't have deliberately adjusted his breathing and heartbeat.
"I wonder what other instructions the Senior has? As long as it is within our power, we will not refuse!" The old man bowed again and said.
But things were different now. Yun Qianrou had apparently gained someone’s protection; he could not get close, nor could he even send a single word to her.
Chang Ge Yue glanced at Sibao, who was walking with a bow-legged gait, and felt deeply embarrassed. Brother Sibao, will your legs ever be straight again?
Zhao Chuanzhi finalized the first-generation flight drive, which consisted of five independent parts, and had Hongmei control the robotic arms to manufacture them.
Perhaps most people with whimsical ideas share similar traits—that kind of elusive thinking and thought process that differs from the majority of normal people in reality. This might be the reason for their success, or it could be the fuse for their failure.
As the palm force dissipated, Da Hei landed gracefully on the east side of the main hall, while the Master landed on the west. As soon as Ouyang Mo saw his teacher arrive, he instantly felt he had found his backbone.
Although news of the Longqing Emperor’s passing had been reported many times, the common people knew the current Emperor was terminally ill, so their enthusiasm for the matter remained undiminished.
