Chapter 129

Because those who intended to defect were slain on the spot by him, crushed in their cradle; while those who harbored grievances and might have turned against the Immortal Court were promptly unburdened of their emotional knots by his timely intervention.

The voice reached a critical threshold and then abruptly cut off, whereupon Shalltear also seemed to lose consciousness, her head tilting to the side as she fainted.

"Ding! Main quest issued, please click to accept!" At that moment, Canny also received the system prompt regarding the main quest.

"You must remember that what Xiliang previously fancied was none other than Her Grace, Princess Ningguo, who is greatly favored by His Majesty!" Ning Chen brought up this matter at this moment.

In the distance, upon hearing this, Wu Qiu felt a vein throbbing on her forehead. Her alluring and charming body trembled with rising anger.

Yan Bo's business trip was decided on the spur of the moment. However, despite the haste, he had thoughtfully purchased a pile of local specialties to honor his future parents-in-law.

Just as Miss Su Yun was engrossed in gathering herbs and Hua Jieyu was assisting her, an enraged tiger roar suddenly echoed from the nearby jungle.

Seeing that the intoxicated man was speaking without any discretion, Zhu Zilong's doppelgänger hurriedly pulled Guo Rong aside. He then welcomed Yang Keshi and the others to take their seats at the banquet, offering thorough explanations. Fortunately, the latter did not mind at all, and it was only after a detailed clarification that they understood.

Moreover, taking advantage of this place brimming with natural energy, the giant tree had planted five of its own saplings here.

Wu Qiu was dressed in black, with a slender waist and a lotus-like face, moving with graceful elegance. Her beautiful eyes flashed with an extraordinary light.

"I don't know!" Jiang Zheyuan said resentfully. Right now, he desperately wished for others to share his miserable fate; how could he possibly reveal this matter? Wouldn't it be wonderful to drag a few more down to keep him company?

If it were not for his apprehension regarding the immense power of the Chief Council, coupled with the fact that he had never unraveled that secret all these years, Xiang Lianyin would have long since slaughtered his way into the Void World. How could he have continued to cower in the Primordial Universe without coming out?

All the demons were utterly astonished. Could it be that the God of War of the Demon Realm spoken of by the Demon Emperor was this alien demon of impure bloodline?

Ling Duxu returned to the Mucheng Grand Hotel at half-past six. After accompanying Mei Feixue for dinner there, it was already seven-thirty.

Following that, everyone transformed into streaks of light, speeding toward the central region of Mount Wu, the location of the "Blood Pool."

The entire city of Eden was screaming. Have you ever heard a cry more hair-raising and heart-wrenching than this?

Especially when recalling how, earlier in the day, she would rather have sacrificed her own life than allow him to suffer the slightest harm, and how, just moments ago, she had undertaken to comfort Su Zimei simply to spare him from sorrow and pain.

Davos looked at him in silence for a moment, unsure whether Aristiras's primary purpose in making this request was to covertly resign from his post as the head of the Intelligence Department, especially just after Davos had vetoed his resignation.

"Hmph, My Lord anticipated long ago that you would come to launch a sneak attack, though I never expected you would truly have such audacity! Today, let me, Abe no Seimei, deal with you!" roared the two-zhang-tall giant, Abe no Seimei.

At this moment, in her eyes, every subtle movement of Chen Xiao was imbued with profound rhythm, arcane and mystical, as if forged by nature itself, captivating one's very soul.

Seeing the "giant's" fists lunging toward us, Bai Jing and I retreated a few steps in succession. However, the "giant's" two hands struck us like a pair of missiles, knocking both of us down to the ground. Suddenly, she and I stood back up from the ground, and I activated my Heavenly Eyes.

Opening my closed eyes bit by bit, I felt relieved to see that Leng Shi was wearing a pair of baggy athletic shorts.

Naturally, humanity would not submit meekly to such circumstances, nor were humans entirely devoid of the capacity to resist. An army of fifty or sixty thousand was still capable of slaying a dragon. It was just that the price humanity had to pay for such a feat was far too immense.

Upon arriving at the school, Mu Yize opened the car door for Mo Xi. Mo Xi stepped out, stood beside the car door, and gazed at the school before her, observing her surroundings with great care.

Xia Yu was furious. Looking down, she noticed that the object she had stepped on seemed to be a bead, and she instantly realized that this was probably a gift he intended for someone else, which she had now crushed to pieces. This man was truly childish.

Bai narrowed his eyes and glanced into the depths. It seemed that he, too, had once entered this place, yet in the end, he could only become its custodian, never its master.

Scarcely a second later, the man felt a wave of excruciating pain wash over his entire body, and he let out a slaughterhouse-pig howl. Blood gushed uncontrollably from his severed arm. Cold sweat beaded profusely on the man from the agony, and he entirely lost the righteous, die-together demeanor he had displayed just moments before.

Furthermore, the empire had not seen beggars of this sort for many years, so he was definitely not one of them.

True to his word, Ling Jie wrote out a new IOU for Zhou Lan, bearing a three percent interest rate. After all, a promise made by Ling Jie could not be broken. For a man, breaking a word meant a lack of integrity, rendering him incapable of achieving anything significant and earning only the contempt of others.

Ziniu remained silent. Her understanding of Shanyuan certainly lacked the depth of Chongxin's. From her perspective, this was indeed the kind of behavior typical of a spoiled young scion like Shanyuan.

Albuka's surrender meant that Kublai had truly become the Great Khan of the Mongols, signifying the complete unification of the grasslands.

That genderless voice rang out once more. This time, however, his voice lacked the previous confidence, retaining only boundless pain and powerlessness, sounding... seemingly tinged with a trace of sorrow.

Vick grasped the delicate hand fluttering before his eyes and pulled Emma into his embrace as well.

Although she knew this was not the time to be moved, after witnessing the stark contrast with Tang Huan and the others, Ao Bing truly touched her deeply. What was unwavering loyalty, even at the cost of one's life?

Since then, she had not returned for several years. Granted, economic considerations played a part—after all, a trip back to her homeland required a considerable sum of money—but the more significant reason was her reluctance to witness China's present reality, a reality that filled her heart with unbearable pain.
