Volume 1, Chapter 23: Yuan Chonghuan Traps the Envoys of the Demonic Qing; Chiyou Seeks the Life of Zhu Youjian!

Yuan Chonghuan accepted the command.

As a seasoned general who had long commanded armies abroad, he naturally understood the profound intent of the Chongzhen Emperor.

These ten thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders were not only a ceremonial guard intended to manifest the majesty of the nation, but also eyes hidden in the shadows to monitor the envoys of the Demon Qing.

Even more, the Chongzhen Emperor had secretly placed his hopes in him, looking for an opportunity to eliminate these Demon Qing envoys—especially the Fox-Heart Shaman, who possessed profound cultivation, cunning methods, and the bloodline of a saint.

Of course, all of this would require waiting for the right moment.

Outside the city, the ten thousand Great Snow Dragon Riders were already prepared and waiting. Their armor gleamed brilliantly under the sun. The sound of horse hooves shook the heavens and the earth, their momentum as vast as a rainbow.

"Long live! Long live!"

The moment they saw Zhu Youjian, the Great Snow Dragon Riders shouted in unison...

Thinking back over these years, Guanyinbi had indeed suffered much and endured many hardships while following him.

Why are there always such people who, despite being entirely in the wrong, act as if the whole world has wronged them?

Walking over in eight-centimeter high heels, her presence overwhelmed everyone. One could hear the rhythmic clacking of her heels against the marble floor. Guo Anyun did not care about the gazes fixed upon her; as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

Perhaps this is why patients cannot decipher a doctor's handwriting; they write while they speak. As long as they can read it themselves, what does it matter if the script is wild and cursive?

Just as he had not yet reacted, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class had gradually approached, and then, Long Youxuan actually jumped down from the driver's seat.

Deng Yijing was so excited he could not control himself; he grabbed the assistant director's hand, unable to speak for a long time.

Some asked Luo Yudie where the cat came from, and Luo Yudie smiled, saying she would marry whoever could make her happy.

Noticing Mo Han's strange behavior, the security personnel quickly stepped forward to pull him away, but Mo Han struggled and refused to leave. The commotion finally caught the attention of the performer, who stopped to look at Mo Han, his eyes filled with confusion.

Zhang Feng casually grabbed a ruler and threw it toward Chen Ji. Chen Ji ducked to avoid it, but it happened to strike a high-speed spinning top behind him. With a few "swish" sounds, the ruler bounced back. The labor committee member, Li Xiang, could not dodge in time and was struck; like Zhang Kuang, his head was pierced.

Yun Heng watched the blacksmith run away, frowned, and opened his Eye of the Heavenly Path to quickly locate the direction from which the baby's crying was coming. A pair of soft wings spread from his back, and Yun Heng leaped into the air, looking toward the distance.

Mu Yu only smiled. The power of the Spirit Skull went without saying, but without his "Heart-Eye" investigation, it would have been impossible to forcefully break the restriction relying on the Spirit Skull alone.

As for Mu Yu, he had not paid him any attention at all; even if Mu Yu were standing in front of Qi Meng, he would likely only assume that Mu Yu was acting under Qi Meng's guidance.

Facing the company's inquiries, old Comrade Yang had his own story, calling it "fostering new forces" while pointing at Liu Danqing's livestream and lying through his teeth.

Ma Li remained unmoved. He practically ignored the enemy's arrows, pursuing them relentlessly. Elemental arrows struck his body, causing blood to spray everywhere, but this fellow was shrouded in black energy and did not treat his injuries as anything of consequence, continuing his fierce pursuit from behind.

Within the dazzling beam of light, red and green glows flickered, each occupying one side of the pillar, distinct and never mingling. Yet, in the center, one could faintly discern a slightly thinner cyan glimmer flickering and leaping.

"Boom!" A sheet of flame, resembling starlight, erupted from the sword and fell upon the sea.

The most important point, in fact, was that the power released by the fragments of the command arrow stuck to his body would not cease its consumption just because the surrounding black-yellow air was repelled by other invisible forces; the time it could provide Mu Yu with protection remained limited.

Lin Qingyu collapsed onto the bed, and before she could speak, her phone rang again.

"To survive a great disaster is to be blessed with good fortune thereafter..." Lu Guang murmured. He did not know if he was comforting himself or lamenting the miracle of surviving the ordeal. So it was not a dream after all.

"Thank you, Village Chief. In the future, I will do whatever work I can. I will absolutely not be a waste," Ma Xiangdong said, his eyes rimmed with red.

Early in the morning, Xu Nianchu prepared the necessary items for the exam for herself, and also prepared a set for Lin Zhou.

If he had simply gone along with it and said he didn't hear, Bai Ziling would have let out a sigh of relief, happily eaten her meal, and picked food for him.

But Pang Yuanfu insisted on bringing along Li Xiuchang, who was hiding his true strength, and was followed by the even more explosively powerful Zhang Wanzhi.

Not only that, but our family also built a two-story red brick house; compared to the people in the village, our family was considered very wealthy.

"Qu'er, what is wrong?" Yun Zhongzi, with his immortal air and Taoist grace, pushed the door open and walked in anxiously.

Yuchun rode her bicycle to take a shortcut, arriving at the alley entrance before Qin Dashan, then tore off her invisibility talisman and pretended to be waiting for someone at the entrance.

She hurriedly rubbed her eyes hard, then realized she had rubbed the wrong place, and switched to rubbing her ears instead.

Qin Yuchen wanted to slap himself twice; he shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. Look, now Bai Ziling had changed her mind, cried over the scumbag, and might even blame him later for being too ruthless.

One has to sigh that this Gu-insect is truly amazing; if everyone could use it, wouldn't the world fall into chaos?

The great noble families such as the Pei, Cui, Wei, Du, Zheng, Yang, and Wang clans had, after hundreds of years of branching out, developed into massive families.

Having seen too many people, the devil viewed the human world as a plaything, unaware that he was one himself. Emperors and generals maneuvered for power, merely borrowing momentum, while the ants called themselves supreme. Monks and Taoists were extravagant, honing their bodies, yet they were also deluded. The Heavenly Path cycles, but it is nothing more than that—the mountain wind is biting, and the wilderness is desolate for a moment.

Looking at the monk Nan Fengtong who was staring at him, the cultivator said that the spiritual light had filled the sky just now with an alarming momentum; it was clear a great treasure had appeared, and he was the first cultivator to discover it.

"Ahem, we slept a bit too long! Truly sorry, Master, can the glutinous rice be taken out now?" Leng Qi coughed lightly in embarrassment and asked the glowering Wukong.

After saying this, Abao moved the fire gathered under the stove to the sides and covered some with ash, only then stopping his hands.

Returning to the capital, Chu Feier was the first to lose her composure, getting off the carriage and walking straight toward the West Market. Mu Yueze followed behind, ordering the coachman to take the remaining three to the Prince's Mansion.

This was Hua Yunfei's Taiji Cause-and-Effect Pupils; if a cultivator specifically specialized in this path were to study them, they might not discover anything even after an entire lifetime of research.

Watching as the cultivators there had all placed their spirit stones and treasures on the ground, Nan Feng changed his usual demeanor. At this moment, his entire body was suffused with spiritual light as he charged toward the numerous cultivators there.
