Volume 1 - Chapter 45: You Actually Believed What I Lied to Him About?

It seemed everyone wished for the status quo to be maintained, so the outcome discussed in the meeting left all the participants satisfied. However, in a remote region on the other side, inside General Karl's massive office, the atmosphere was not nearly as pleasant.

The Murong family's motorcade turned around and sped back toward the Murong Manor. At that moment, the Hellfire Phoenix in the rear looked at the receding motorcade with a hint of confusion in its eyes, its brow seeming to furrow slightly.

There were distant fugitives who could not help but notice those mind flayer larvae. Helplessly, this was a golden opportunity—whether to be beheaded sooner or later, regardless of how one might die in the future, preserving one's life now by seizing the moment was the best choice. With the enemy in chaos, it was always a good opportunity.

How could Yin Yi possibly know what divine entity that was? Judging by the name alone, it sounded quite formidable. He had heard there were many folk martial arts experts in ancient times, but who cared? In any case, this body's soul had already been swapped; even the most brilliant divine doctor could never figure it out. Against the mystery of Yin Yi's background, superior medical skills were utterly useless.

That Yullis spider had unexpectedly unleashed a sixth-tier divine spell of a tremendously wide area—Animate Dead—turning the corpses across most of the city into undead creatures.

After finishing the meal, Lin Su took out the finest jar of tea leaves and handed it to Lin Qingwan, instructing her to divide it in half. He also fetched two boxes of crabs and two bottles of osmanthus wine, giving them all to her to deliver to Yi Han.

Rodriguez looked up and gazed far into the center circle, unleashing a long pass. The football soared high into the air, descending vertically toward the center circle.

Seeing Shui Diexlan's deeply furrowed brow, Li Xun was equally baffled. The two stared blankly at each other, neither able to remember for a moment what had been said just then.

Lin Yanni gave Wu Kai a deep, meaningful look, and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Good morning, Wu Kai!" Having said that, she shyly lowered her head.

"You're not even an adult yet!" Yunxuan rejected firmly. He had no wish to make mistakes due to drunkenness, knowing full well that his alcohol tolerance was nothing to boast about.

Upon seeing Zhang Tianxong appear completely unscathed, Tian Gong knew that his Sect Leader Senior Brother was likely in grave peril. Even a half-step True Immortal holding a spirit treasure had fallen by his opponent's hand; fighting to the death would hardly guarantee the ability to inflict even the slightest scratch on the other party. There was no reason not to compromise, unless one was in a rush to be reincarnated.

"What does it matter? Baring one's soul openly among young men is also a beautiful thing!" As if seeing right through Yingyi's thoughts, the upperclassmen unceremoniously grabbed Yingyi and dragged him into the shop.

All sorts of thoughts excited Yue Yingfeng's fans, making them even more eager for the upcoming plot.

"You guys go on down first! We'll be right down!" Yue Yingfeng glanced at the surrounding environment, a trace of a smile appearing on his face as he gestured to Lee Hyori and the others not to worry about him.

The golden crow slowly sank westward, its remaining rays brilliant and enchanting, slantwise illuminating the sparkling stream and casting a dazzling, multicolored radiance.

Lingfeng was honored with the seat of chief honor, sitting alongside the Prince of Yan, receiving extremely prestigious treatment. During the banquet, the Princess of Yan wore a deeply apologetic expression, repeatedly raising her cup to offer toasts. On one hand, she thanked Lingfeng for saving her husband's life, and on the other, she expressed her apologies for the previous events.

Although Palurik was the Chairman of PLANT, Kamille did not need to make any threats against him. He simply ignored him as Chairman and forcibly carried out the population relocation. What could Palurik possibly do about it?

If the bard's account was false, and the vast majority of intelligence concerning the Prismriver Count only mentioned the three Prismriver sisters, then who was Leila in the abandoned western-style mansion?

Through countless grueling practices, Han Qianyu had mastered the coiling dragon steps with extreme proficiency. Therefore, facing such a perilous situation, she was still able to successfully break free and turn danger into safety.

Jingxuan also targeted a late-stage tier-six dark spirit, casually summoning bolts of heavenly lightning to bombard it. Indeed, Jingxuan had locked onto a late-stage tier-six member of the Dream Clan. Since both possessed formidable spiritual power, Jingxuan wished to test what methods the Dream Clan truly possessed.

This was not strange, because practitioners in the Spirit Ascension realm possessed power that differed by chasms from those in preceding realms. Improper use of such power naturally carried the risk of injuring oneself. In other words, low-level practitioners could rashly break through their cultivation levels and possess unstable, flimsy realms of power, but once they stepped into the Spirit Ascension realm, they could no longer do so.

She had said "everyone." The several noble young ladies meeting her for the first time and not yet very familiar with her exchanged glances. This "everyone" should surely include everyone present here, right?

Youye smiled coldly; he had already discerned that Han Ranyao intended to use that previous drawing-blade technique. But would he give Han Ranyao such an opportunity?

Gu Ming had not yet had the chance to tell her grandfather about the five master-servant guests staying over. Seeing her grandfather unceremoniously scolding Brother Ling, she felt somewhat puzzled—how had Brother Ling managed to offend her grandfather?

The second day, Gu Even deliberately had people keep an ear out for news from the Yan Kingdom's courier station. Before the scout could return, her second brother, who was not even on duty, was summoned away by members of the Imperial City Guards under the pretext that the Fourth Prince of Yan had been poisoned, requiring the cooperation of the Imperial City Guards and the Five City兵马司 (Military Garrison Command) to investigate the matter.

Ascending along the heavenly ladder formed by spiritual birds, Chu Ze and his companion finally arrived at the estate located in the Nine Heavens. Here, heavenly rivers flowed, nine-colored rainbows gleamed, white cranes wandered leisurely, and spiritual birds darted past, presenting a scene of utter peace and natural harmony.

The moment Xia Fan touched Yun Zhiyan's skin, he almost suffered a reverse flow of vital blood and Qi.

Fortunately, the boiling water was not extremely scalding; her skin only turned red without raising blisters. Even so, she still felt a very uncomfortable stinging sensation.

The female giant behemoth hound, following the male giant behemoth hound's deduction, identified the culprit's identity as a disciple of the Asura Sea, a second-tier demonic faction in the demon realm, because the Asura Sea was precisely renowned throughout the demon space for cultivating physical bodies.

Immediately, with a thought, a special defense instantly manifested around his body, and the sense of oppression vanished completely. Soaring freely through the skies, the sensation was truly extraordinary.

After replying to the text message, Chu Feng watched as a few more classmates voluntarily engaged in self-study within the classroom. He curled his lips slightly and then walked outside, although Chu Feng was not a particularly restless soul.

Gao Chong was also racking his brains back at the Gao residence, trying to figure out what conditions Wu Jie might propose and calculating Wu Jie's possible courses of action. He had to consider and prepare for all possibilities from the worst-case perspective.

On one hand, he wanted to draw closer to Gao Chong and the princess; on the other hand, the Emperor had asked him to form a state-guard army, and he wanted to ask what thoughts the princess and her husband might have so he could act in accordance with their wishes and avoid any complications.

By the time the main forces of Stilwell and Li Wei arrived, it was already the fourth watch (around 3:00 AM), and the battle of Dingxi City had already ended.

Luo Ping's gaze was like a torch as he swept it across the surrounding flames, then immediately fixed his eyes on his opponent, Zhan Huo, a look of disdain and provocation tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Praying to the deities that they would be the last wave of the siege, so they could draw a favorable lot when the time came. Little did they know, deities were always very busy.
