The White Jade Capital floated in the void, exuding a soft glow like a celestial wonderland in heaven. The walls of the palace were crystal clear, as if carved from the purest jade. Beside Zhu Youjian stood a man wearing a Confucian robe. He was tall with a majestic expression, and a light of wisdom flashed in his eyes.
Well, Hongye had to admit that among these men, there were quite a few good ones with fine character. Some were handsome, highly educated, held great positions, or possessed extremely strong potential for future development. Yet, she did not feel even the slightest flutter of emotion for any of them.
Mo He immediately stepped forward and, without a second thought, swept all the items into his own storage bag, then instantly departed from the water demon's lair.
"Your Majesty the Phoenix Emperor." Feng Xue suddenly spoke, and the banquet fell into an instant silence. Even the sounds of strings and woodwinds ceased.
Right at that moment, Xiao Yunsen was suddenly punched in the flank. Feeling the pain, he involuntarily released Teng Wan. Turning his head, he saw it was Ouyang Lie.
The ten examination rooms were simultaneously flooded with a massive wave of viewers. The number of people watching the live broadcast of this year's national competition had grown even larger compared to last year.
The blue light just now had been emitted by the magical robe he wore, which naturally came from the batch refined for him by Yun Su. After Mo He went back and refined it for a period of time, it had just reached the level of a top-grade spiritual artifact, possessing a total of only seven spiritual prohibitions.
Those fortunate enough to attend the banquet included high-ranking officials of the imperial court of the third rank and above, along with their families.
Jun Xi was speechless for a moment. She looked at Yun Tingfeng with a complex gaze, clearly perceiving his sincerity from his face and eyes.
The steward was extremely surprised to see Jun Xi leaning against the doorway. He had not expected that the Fifth Prince's very first visit would be met with such treatment.
A thought flashed through Leng Yuehuang's mind, but she could not quite grasp it. Her intuition told her that it was very important, yet it remained stubbornly stuck there, completely beyond her recollection.
The flaming arrow was shot out, and the fire element continued to launch fireballs. Haculus began to move, simultaneously slashing at the incoming flaming arrows and dodging the fireballs.
Because a promise is the soul of a nation. If they were to betray or flee today, then tomorrow every single Pict would pay an unimaginable price for it! The spirit of their nation would also suffer a heavy blow, making it extremely difficult to recover.
"Alright, alright, stop talking here. Let's go, the martial arts competition is about to start soon. Later, if you want to listen and learn, I can teach you." With that, Feng Bufan and the other two walked toward the arena.

The mere thought that her private life might be maliciously spied upon by others gave Lin Xueyi the exact same weak, limp sensation all over as Zhang Lifang.
Especially after studying the Reincarnation Scripture of Lang Lun to conceal killing intent, Xiao Xuanya had become an exceptionally terrifying sniper.
Ou Tian and Li Feng could only harbor half-doubts, to say nothing of the others, whom Li Feng automatically filtered out.
Ending the battle in the mid-game was also a good choice; it all depended on whether Hua Mulan was strong enough. A full combo from Hua Mulan could take away a squishy target, and certain assassins could too—like Monkey, who was relatively fragile. Zhao Yun, however, could not; strictly speaking, Zhao Yun was a warrior, and his late-game damage-absorption capacity was terrifyingly sufficient.
With folk customs that were honest and simple, every single mule, horse, and donkey available in the village before the dock had been led out, yet they still numbered only around thirty or so.
No matter what, Yang Jie was not an enemy, and Brother Snake had given orders to protect Brother Feng. Since this big brute was clearly coming with ill intent, they naturally would not stand by with folded arms.
Having obtained the formula for refining the Replenishing Origin Pill, Xue Youran was in extremely high spirits. After praising and complimenting Feng Bufan, she eagerly departed from the place.
When the two arrived at the adjacent Hall of Joy, before even entering the side hall, they heard the crying of the babies.
Before the tall man shot his arrow, Han Silang, who was closest to them, immediately realized something was wrong.
Recalling their interactions over the past two days, Tao Miner felt that Young Master Chen's sense of propriety and dashing demeanor had left quite a good impression.
Having called back his useless attacks, Dragon Emperor Taiyi stood guard in front of the two humans and one beast, waiting outside the protective shield for it to weaken.
As a superior, wantonly executing a subordinate—as long as Prefect Xu dared to do it, Magistrate Xu would find a way to impeach him.
Wang Yi, seeing his good friend Liang Muchang engaged in combat with wicked villains, felt a surge of emotions. Drawing the Sun-Shattering Dharma Sword, he joined the battle to jointly fight the demonic butcher.
These spiritual herbs were provided solely to the soldiers of the Iron-Blood Camp; the envoys sent by Emperor Zhou Qian of Chang'an enjoyed no such treatment.
Yang Shulan adapted to the terrain and shifted her position to avoid facing the men in black directly. She also knew that the mysterious men in black were numerous in number, and since they were heavily outnumbered, fighting head-on would undoubtedly lead to defeat.
Because ordinary people wearing dozens of pounds of heavy armor could not even dismount without assistance. Yet Cao Yijin could never have imagined that Zhang Zhao's martial arts had not been secretly taught by Zhang Zhong, but rather brought from a future era.
After finishing his prayer, Chen Sanlang let out a shout. His hands moved like a soaring hawk; inhaling drew the bowstring, and exhaling released the shot. The bowstring vibrated with a thunderous pop.

To him, the Deity Transformation Realm indeed held immense temptation. But the problem was, did this Commander Yan truly have a way to make him reach the Deity Transformation Realm within a year?
Red Butterfly reacted similarly, subconsciously taking a step backward. Her heart had been pierced and her neck snapped, yet she still did not die—could these fellows truly be unkillable?
Blue silk fabric wrapped around the curves of her waist, and layers of blue lace miniskirts revealed a pair of her beautiful legs.
Even though Lu Shaoxi had tried his best to downplay his own level, Colonel Zhou, President Zheng, and Zheng Hai were all moved at the same time, too shocked to speak.
With his mind set on the "Qimen Dunjia" secret techniques possessed by this master-disciple pair of old and young, Lu Shaoxi became uncharacteristically agreeable.
The remaining leaders and teachers in the academy secretly marveled, but President Zheng held immense prestige in the academy; the moment he spoke, everyone else immediately fell silent.
Meng Qi glared fiercely at him, and he retorted with an aggrieved look in his eyes, silently communicating: You are mine, and sooner or later you will bear my children.
"You are so exasperating..." Hua Huo said with a feigned angry pout. Yet these words also indicated her consent to the matter.
Therefore, Song Mingting had been able to slay the White Skeleton Ghost Monarch of the early Yuangming stage many years ago, but after his strength progressed further, he could not slay the Purple Fiend Ghost Monarch of the mid-Yuangming stage. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Purple Fiend Ghost Monarch was no ordinary mid-Yuangming stage expert.
Sun Chengpu responded with a smile, but involuntarily glanced at Yingchun by Old Madame Sun's side. Hatred ignited in his eyes once more, though just for a fleeting moment before Sun Chengpu turned his head away.
Seeing this, Li Mu was already filled with indignation. This was clearly the method of the demonic path. Li Mu placed the scroll in his hand onto the table, preparing to sweep through the monsters in the spiritual stone mine so that his disciples could be spared mortal danger when they went.
"I found a passport!" A martial artist limped over and handed a passport to the inspector.
The people hosting the banquet gradually recovered their joyful laughter and chatter. Every appearance of Hawkeye always inevitably quieted them down for a moment, but as the captain repeatedly invited Hawkeye to join them, the lively atmosphere would always return.
