Chapter 56

After waking up this time, his temperament remained unchanged, but the chill in his tone had faded significantly, replaced instead by a sense of aloofness.

Not being able to celebrate her birthday with her had been a regret of his for many years. Today, she made up for that regret on his behalf; although it was only a bowl of noodles, he felt deeply content.

Assuming that a large mixed mercenary corps like the Moon Shield Mercenary Corps were to face this Monarch's Knight Mercenary Corps directly, they would probably be ruthlessly defeated as well, right?

Indeed, its power was astonishing. The Eight Desolations Seal possessed a total of eight stages, with each stage representing a desolate wasteland, which was also the origin of the name "Eight Desolations."

Back at the auction, although Su Yi had deliberately lowered his voice and covered half of his body with a black robe, there were still slight similarities in his voice. Besides, no matter how Su Yi changed, his physique could not be altered. Therefore, he had constantly worried about arousing suspicion from those observant individuals.

Since the Papal State was merely a city-state, there were only a few dozen resident mercenary corps here, and their scales varied greatly, making contribution points relatively easy to acquire. Among them, the number of tasks accepted in the Papal State, the number of tasks completed, and the amount of fees paid all served as important indicators for contribution points.

Everyone was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this An Rulie actually knew this person in the black robe?!

However, before Yang Chong could explain any further this time, his figure became somewhat illusory and vanished completely.

Xue Hao changed into a clean set of clothes, draped in a crimson robe, looking like a youthful hero. Unfortunately, this hero's face was bruised and swollen, completely ruining the scenery.

Xue Hao said angrily and loudly, every word clearly reaching the ears of everyone present. An uproar broke out all around; this Xue Hao truly had no fear of death. To dare speak like this under such circumstances, wasn't this like the God of Longevity hanging himself—seeking his own destruction?

If it could truly be resolved, why would he have waited until now? Having the opportunity to suppress the Taoist sect, why not do it? It was precisely because it could not be suppressed that there was no need to needlessly offend a Taoist expert, right?

Suddenly, the torrential rain of arrows came to an abrupt halt. "Not bad, not bad at all," a sarcastic and effeminate voice sounded from the courtyard entrance. It was none other than Gongsun Shou. Gongsun Shou pinched an orchid finger, his seductive face smeared with rouge, and his brightly painted red lips were utterly repulsive.

The truth behind the so-called King-Choosing Ceremony was inherently like this: one had to wait until the sword became the Sword of Kings before a true king could be chosen.

The Semi-Dragon King naturally would not suspect that the old Taoist priest was lying; monks do not utter falsehoods, and they still maintained that much of their principles. Besides, hadn't he himself failed to notice anything?

Within the giant city, countless black bloodstains were scattered everywhere, making the entire city look pitch-black and unrecognizable, completely covering up its former glory and splendor.

Lin Qihua watched him being pushed into the emergency room, the red light glowing dazzlingly overhead. He knew that it was impossible for it to go out anytime soon.

Therefore, Chen Hui spared no effort in consuming a massive amount of soul power to create this frost fog. Firstly, it was to obstruct Ning Qiu's vision, and secondly, it was to drastically slow down his speed.

Zhao Qingfeng wore a full smile. He understood that this fellow Xia Zhi was exceptionally skilled at seizing every opportunity; otherwise, relying solely on his abilities, he could never have become a regional manager—he indeed possessed a certain level of strength.

"Min Chengheng is only worth a string of prayer beads?" Sheng Xunfeng took a puff of his cigarette and blew the smoke toward Ning Su's hand.

Therefore, those people only paid lip service to the Chen family on the surface. In reality, when it came to targeting the Phantom Youluo Palace, they were unwilling to expend even a single ounce of effort.

However, the eldest brother's subsequent reaction left Zhou Yang somewhat bewildered. He saw his eldest brother suddenly let out a long breath, and then actually wear an expression of immense relief.

Seeing him speak with such certainty, the elderly Harigi then asked him in detail about the geographical features of the vicinity.

Zisha felt that Qi Xiao was dressed too lightly, so she specifically went to fetch a white fox fur cloak for him to wear.

In order to promote themselves on the first day of the new year, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau even conducted a live broadcast.

With that, Li Guang pushed Leng Feng's hand back and smoothly handed the bear paw in his own hand over to Leng Feng.

A person like Hao Qingyun, much like he himself before meeting Zhong Li, was someone who naturally harbored no room for others in his heart.

Sunlight streamed through the window and shone upon his mother's emaciated face. Looking at his mother's appearance, grief washed over Ning Su once again.

As for later influencing the cultivation environment within each main world to become more harmonious and friendly, with powerful individuals possessing greater morality and a stronger sense of responsibility, this was not actually his original intention, nor did he ever think it would necessarily produce such an impact.

Yet now, Lady Liang knew very well that she needed to first repair her relationship with Su Ruo so that the latter would listen to her and win glory and face for her.

Sasuke involuntarily activated his Sharingan; the positions of the two tomoe shifted, and a third tomoe appeared in the vacant space.

Once they finished drinking a round of ginger soup, Jiang Chuixing resolutely rejected the suggestion to help him re-do his hair and fled out like a wisp of smoke.

Especially when Liu Yiyi saw the sisters Chu Yun and Chu Yao, the expression on her face turned rather peculiar.

"Third Hokage-sama." Fugaku's state of mind was different now; he no longer held any emotional fluctuation toward the Third.

Shi Zhengying's guess was right; Xiao Hongfan had been monitoring her all along, and the commotion she stirred up in Linxi County was known to the other party instantly.

This prince was fond of women and debauchery, drifting through the world for pleasure, but as a commander temporarily pushed to the frontline, he also had tremendous strengths: he was willing to trust the chief general, willing to delegate power, and free from greed for military achievements. He would not randomly meddle or point fingers out of ignorance.

If it weren't for the fact that she could still find a decent marriage for her and still had a little money in her hands, Su Yun truly would not have been willing to put on a polite facade with her.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. This old subject is already completely recovered." Chen Ji Zhi had a robust build, a beard like a lion, and eyes like a tiger, exuding a natural majesty that struck fear into anyone who looked upon him.

After the bristle wolf's injuries healed enough for him to move freely, Pennylo and Silver Moon took him back to the beast camp. Ye Cangmin was properly settled and protected by Xue Liu and did not go to disturb Ye Fei.
