Volume 1 Chapter 24: Solicitation and Cooperation
In the next instant, he formed a seal with his left hand alone, completing it within a few breaths. With a single palm strike, he hit Zhang Gongquan’s right hand, effortlessly interrupting the technique the latter had yet to finish.
Forget it, forget it, never mind! She could no longer worry about that. With such an important ceremony underway, what would happen if people noticed her mind was wandering?
It would have been impossible for the sudden rejuvenation of people like Zhang Tiezhu and others to go completely unnoticed by the public.
Some wounds, when left to ache for too long, leave a bitter residue. Even if smoothed over with a gentle touch, the softness itself can trigger hidden thorns, piercing both others and oneself.
Long Yun glanced at the beggar, who shook his head to indicate that he did not recognize the man either.
Jiang Yu walked across the high mountains, his gaze sweeping over the landscape, and everything within his field of vision became increasingly clear. The cross-shaped blue light in his eyes glowed like divine radiance, growing ever more extraordinary. The surrounding loose stones had nowhere to hide, all laid bare by his sweeping gaze.
Among the Demon race, there is a very powerful skill called "Demonization," which is quite similar to the "Berserk" state of humans or the "Beast Transformation" of the Beast race.
Two of them, whether intentionally or not, released their aura, instantly making it clear to many that they were not to be trifled with.
Furthermore, as the saying goes, the world is driven by profit. Under the heavens, who is not?
Although the fire energy condensed into the fire dragon was extremely pure, the Clear Water Blade focused all its energy on a single point. As the two forces pitted against each other, the Clear Water Blade slowly pierced through.
He rummaged around and found an iron box. Upon opening it, he discovered a pile of porcelain bottles, similar to the one Liang Bing had given to Ji Chenggang that day. However, these bottles were empty, though they still held a faint, lingering scent of blood. Whose blood had been contained in these?
What kind of place was this? There were no coffin ships, nor were there any sarcophagi! Where was the successor of the Dragon-Driving Sect? Could it be that this was not the main tomb chamber, but merely another passage leading to it?
Liu Qichao ignored his sarcasm and activated the Green Fiend Spirit Eyes, beginning to search for the Nine-Segment King Corpse Worm that might be lurking underground.
He was shocked, but not because of those weapons. They hadn't even been able to defeat the Mourning Ballad earlier; just imagine, if even a mortal wouldn't look twice at them, how could they possibly threaten the Immortal Tuya? His shock must have had another cause.
He looked back at Liu Butong, who was smiling and waving at him, urging him to leave quickly.
After the group descended the mountain and left Liu Family Village, many neighbors recognized Liu Xing and whispered about how successful he had become in the outside world.
Yet, who was the Sect Master of the God Sect? He was the leader of the Northern Island God Sect, one of the four top powers in the Eastern Arts, and a Sage of the First Gate. Even if he had temporarily lost his Sage power, he was not someone to be bullied by just any stray dog.
"What did you say? Are you looking for death?" In an instant, a surge of fire rose within Ye Tian, and he was consumed by fury. At this point, he had suppressed the last shred of guilt, shifting from sorrow to rage, and began to grow cold.
As soon as Kunlunzi spoke, ripples of Immortal laws shook from the people surrounding Gu Yifeng. Their magical artifacts were drawn in an instant, and their eyes bloomed with killing intent, as if they would truly resort to murder if a single word went wrong.
Just then, Zhou Duan finished preparing the tuna sashimi, plating it beautifully. The other guests began to applaud, praising his knife skills. Lu Cheng clapped along, but thought to himself: Just wait, I’ll beat you so badly you won't even know what knife skills are.
"This is my oversight. I didn't expect that after coming to this world, Akagi would still harbor such stubborn intentions, foolishly hoping to influence your emotions, Admiral, to lead you into making wrong judgments! I am very sorry! This is my negligence, Admiral," Akagi said, apologizing once more to her Admiral.
"Heh, you'll know when the time comes. Now get up and come back with me to eat and enter the docks," Bismarck said, reaching out a hand to her superior.
Though it was clearly a question, Yuan Ying felt as if he were being told: Uncle, you had better not come to my house today.
Even though the Dong family controlled the military power of Chang'an, the hidden danger of a rebellion by the noble clans remained.
After reading the Emperor's decree, Lu Xiangsheng could not help but laugh heartily. The Emperor was truly wise and martial, playing the Jianlu barbarians like puppets—it was truly remarkable! When the Ming army could one day surpass the Jianlu in combat strength, that would surely be the time for the restoration of Liaodong.
In fact, even when confiscating the assets of the Shanxi merchants in the north, the Emperor had been extremely cautious. It was only after Emperor Chongzhen had established his own truly reliable core army and laid a grand trap that he dared to move against them.
As these words fell, Zhan Jiusi felt countless gazes fixed upon her. She kept her eyes straight ahead, allowing the Li tribesmen to lead her to her assigned seat.
It was no wonder, then, that they had sent people to come looking for them, seeking revenge.
Two men immediately carried the large chest of letters and followed Li Mu down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, Liang Yi had led men to seal the area tightly. Amidst everyone's anxious waiting, Liang Yi saw Li Mu leading the men down. This meant that the twelve mountain strongholds had been captured by them in a single night.
Therefore, unifying the world without some means of achieving godhood would likely be impossible.
"So, you've all arrived. Good, look over there," Zixiang pointed his left hand backward, gesturing exactly toward the white-haired youth.
He looked in the direction indicated by the voice and, sure enough, found that a ring was worn on the right hand of the dead man, whose veins were bulging.
"Boom!" Phantom raised a hand and unleashed a pure white flame! A giant beast of the starry sky was struck back directly! But no one nearby saw Phantom! Everyone thought it was Zixiang's doing! Yet Zixiang was also deeply frustrated; with such power, why couldn't he see who it was?
They would wake up together, go fishing together, help others build fences together, set up wedding venues for others together, and on boring nights, run to the tops of trees to look down upon the vast, high night sky.
Although the exact reason was unknown, this was undoubtedly a signal for the other two major families to suppress the Qing family.
While Fupa Nagaharu was focused on dealing with Dugu Shuqin, Lin Peng appeared silently beside Fu Qiang and Zhuang Jing. He pushed aside the puppets that Dugu Shuqin had frozen, and supporting one in each hand, he led them toward the window at the end of the corridor.
