Torches blazed brightly, and Mu Qingshan was called out by his seniority. It was clear that this entire village was populated by disguised bandits, meaning the Mu family caravan had truly stumbled into a den of thieves.
Jue Anran cast a disdainful glance at Jue Qingshang. Seeing that she was dressed in lower-class garments, she deemed her unworthy of conversation, and instead brandished her sword to attack the back of the soaring spirit tiger.
Even though the room was unlit and dim, and lacking martial arts training he could not see clearly in the dead of night, he was still able to instantly and accurately deduce the identity of the person before him.
Thud, thud, thud—a continuous barrage of crossbow bolts pierced through the air. The fake village head’s face, swollen like a steamed sponge, broke into a smile, which made his bloated features appear all the more ferociously hideous.
Led by the Second Elder, all the elders had been placed under house arrest, while the rest... were said to have gone out on missions, and chances were they were all dead.
The man shot her a cold glance and suddenly let out a bizarre laugh. The other men chuckled as well, their gazes shifting as they looked at An Yiqing and Zhang Yufeng.
When Qiu Jiayi first heard this name, her mind went blank for a moment. It took her a few seconds to process it, causing the corners of her mouth to twitch even more violently.
Inkstone stood upon a stepping stone in the middle of the river, aiming his weapon at a plump fish below to strike, when he suddenly stiffened. Goosebumps instantly surged across his skin, and he nearly lost his center of gravity and tumbled into the water due to the abrupt freeze.
"Now, take this Marrow Cleansing Pill, and then sit in meditation to regulate your breathing and try it out," Zhang Daoqing said, returning to his seat.
Yao Xinxin stole occasional glances at him. Looking at his tense expression, the atmosphere felt somewhat oppressive—so oppressive that it was almost unbearable.
Yang Ruoyu’s deep-hemmed pleated skirt was also whipped into the air by the fierce wind, blowing her cuffs all the way up to her elbows and exposing her smooth wrists.
Starting the day after tomorrow, daily releases will resume with 3 chapters totaling 10,000 words, scheduled for 8:00 AM.
With their plot exposed, Chi Junhao hesitated almost not at all. He yanked Ruan Jin'an in front of him, raised his arm, and prepared to strike.
A few minutes later, the newly bathed recruit came running out and snapped a military salute to Gu Yu.
In fact, many ninjas from other hidden villages would rather encounter the Third Hokage than face Konoha’s White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.

By the time she had brushed her teeth, washed her face, and sat down at the dining table, Ji Wenyan had already scooped a bowl of porridge and placed it before her. The temperature of the porridge was now just right for drinking.
Emerging from the director's office, Liang Ziwei first checked her surroundings to ensure no one was watching, then patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
Although Yang Ruoyu did not like it either, born into such a family, she had no choice but to understand those rules.
She knew very well that if she were to see Murong Fei again, it would be truly difficult to guarantee she could keep her emotions within a reasonable range.
Sure enough, upon hearing this term, Yao Qingmu’s expression shifted slightly. Though it lasted merely a fleeting second, it was still captured by Daxi Ying’s sharp, hawk-like eyes.
Lin Chenqing had also changed. He never expected to conceal Prince Ning within his own secret chamber. Prince Ning had been a leading candidate for the throne at the time and a favorite of the Emperor. Murong Yinzhu had never concerned herself with grand affairs of the imperial court, yet she had heard of his renowned name.
Early in the morning, the moment Chen Xia arrived at the company, she was intercepted at the entrance by the production team leader.
"We are already tracking this contact lurking behind the scenes. The questions you are asking are precisely what we suspect as well, but the other party seems to have prepared in advance, carrying everything out with utmost secrecy," the police officer said with an embarrassed expression.
"You came for the Youlang?" Veronica grieved for only a brief moment before recovering. The frost returned to her face as she steered the conversation back.
Nani? Such a thing existed? Yao Qingmu thought carefully and recalled that something of the sort did seem to have happened. Moreover, only members of the Feng Kingdom’s imperial family bore the surname Feng. Having taken a trip to the future, she had actually forgotten many events of this era.
"Hehe, the midday sun is harsh. You should return to the hall to rest first," Murong Feiming said softly as he stepped over to wrap his arm around Helian Heya’s waist, clearly intending to escort her away.
He couldn't be bothered to dawdle. When speaking with a triad boss of this caliber, if you didn't spell things out clearly, they would simply mistake your politeness for weakness.
An adjutant from the division headquarters stood at attention and saluted him, saying, "Commander Zhou, acting on orders from the Field Army Headquarters..."
Suddenly, he recalled the scene he had witnessed outside the city yesterday, and a vague, ominous premonition stirred within his heart.
However, the slovenly Taoist was not someone lacking in worldly experience; he was hardly going to be frightened by Xu Xian’s strength.

As for the negative phase connection that executed a total death sentence on the ancient species, Zuo Si naturally held no affection for it.
"Mother, I know. Mother, I went to the wealthy estate and hauled back a large cart of wild grapes, along with pastries and fruit."
Old Tiger had consumed a piece of ginseng, coupled with the spirit spring water he drank earlier and acupuncture, and suddenly snapped back to consciousness from his coma.
Deputy Commander Zhang Tianyou said, "What the commander, Battalion Commander Sun, and Battalion Commander Liu say is entirely correct, but we do not know the precise location of the enemy artillery position."
Seeing that the wild grapes were indeed plentiful—estimating them to be around four hundred catties—Grandma Liu searched high and low at home and found over a dozen large jars to use for brewing wine. A single large jar could hold roughly fifty catties, so by calculation, the jars were more than enough.
Lame Xi was a driver, and Xu Xian regarded him merely as a driver. He was neither overly courteous nor distant; he called upon him when needed and treated him as invisible when not.
For the Fourth Raikage, although he had cultivated quite a few trustworthy individuals within the village, such as Darui, Cee, Samui, and Atsui...
At the sound of the voice, the six balls of light shuddered and shattered into countless specks of starlight, revealing three pairs of snowy, membranous wings.
Unaware of what the substance was, the crowd simply swallowed it as instructed, then leaped into the pool of water to meticulously cleanse their wounds while circulating their inner energy to regulate their breath and heal.
Victory was what the Dawan army desperately needed. Every invasion by the Wusun grand army inflicted indelible scars upon Dawan, breeding an even greater animosity among the Dawan people toward the Wusun.
"I suppose I must hold on a little longer. I want to see the ultimate ending of this world," Ying Ming said in silence, speaking with a touch of melancholy as he continued to fight.
One must realize that the scene there surpassed the scale of the past events beneath Fengyi City, rippling across dozens of miles and extending deep into Yiling and Badong. This was no simple clash of a thousand against a thousand or ten thousand against ten thousand, nor was it a straightforward formation of left and right flanks.
