29,029.

He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, struggling to breathe for a moment, and a bitter taste in his throat before he vomited a mouthful of fresh blood with a gasp.

After she left under certain conditions, Liu Mo had returned to demand that all evidence against her be erased. Though he couldn’t retrieve everything, the most damaging proofs had been completely destroyed. She was certain that Mu Jun couldn’t produce any solid evidence.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zili insisted on accompanying him, saying that since Mu Ziqing and Mu Jingya had attacked her several times, she owed them a proper response.

Shang Jue looked at Chao Xi, whose eyes were clear and calm, as if a mask had suddenly been removed. It was as though she saw directly into his heart. Chao Xi was stunned, and those around them stared at Shang Jue in disbelief.

Mo Yuchen swiftly flew to Ji Zili’s side, wrapping an arm around her waist. With a powerful thrust of his legs, the two quickly left the Wang residence. Qing Yi and Han Xue dealt with their immediate surroundings before hastily retreating as well. Their master had already instructed them to regroup at the city gate after splitting up.

At that moment, the Longyuan Sword on Ling Zihuan’s back, which had been silent all along, suddenly reacted, emitting a low humming sound. Despite the howling wind and swirling snow, Ling Zihuan’s keen ears caught the subtle resonance clearly.

The Xuanqing Sect had fallen, and it seemed the rest of Central Plains had likely been overrun by the demon tribe.

When I was released from juvenile detention, I stayed in Changchun for a while, so I’m quite familiar with this place.

“This is the capital of Eastern Wu; there must be something here. I’ll search carefully and return quickly,” Ren Xiaoyao muttered to himself as he looked around.

In truth, everyone knew that Xiao Yue and Jin Feng were impossible, which was why they tolerated Yi Xiao Yue’s behavior. After all, Yi Xiao Yue herself was aware she and Jin Feng could never be together; it was an unspoken understanding.

The Chinese team’s dominance over the South Korean team in the Korean-language song showcase was closely tied to the three songs he composed. Securing his first interview in South Korea was a great boon for KS Television.

Black demon horns pierced the sky, standing tall in the air, flickering with a faint dark light. Like a vast black forest, they stretched across the land. Battle flags billowed over the earth, and thick demonic energy permeated the air. Sharp spears glinted with cold light, radiating a murderous aura that chilled the heart.

Seeing her long jade-like legs folded by her side and catching a faint fragrance, the man’s mind wandered. He quickly chanted the Immovable Wisdom King Seal to keep himself clear-headed.

“Indeed, I hope the navy escort is someone worthy of the stage…” Zoro said calmly, then quietly helped her remove grass debris from her black clothes. After all, she had rolled on the ground quite a bit earlier.

Lu Tian felt cheated. Hearing Hong Xuan’s explanation, he realized that divine crystals were not easily obtained. To gather a thousand standard rule cores within a hundred years meant he had to kill at least ten fierce beasts at the Great Saint realm on average every year.

Flying at full speed for several days, they reached the edge of the safe zone. Without hesitation, Lu Tian dashed forward.

Fortunately, Sun Chuanting was somewhat pragmatic about these matters. He also understood that since the emperor had already decided, as long as he didn’t mess up and achieved merit, a noble title was inevitable.

Upon hearing of Nanjing’s fall and the dispersal of Jiangnan, Zuo Maodi cried bitterly but still refused to surrender, swearing at Dorgon and praying for a swift death.

“Damn, Brother Li, even you are shouting along? I just want to ask, who the hell gave this damn name?” Lu Yu grumbled.

Xue Hao chewed on the roasted snake meat, savoring it. He hadn’t eaten properly in a long time; life atop the mountain had been harsh, filled with endless cultivation and hurried meals.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhiping maneuvered the giant turtle’s tail, moving through the water. After transforming into the Black Tortoise, his divine sense range expanded slightly to about three miles.

At this point, Zhang Zhiping felt a bit tense. After all, the thoughts of Nascent Soul cultivators were difficult to fathom; who knew what they were truly thinking?

“Seems so. I was in a hurry to return and didn’t check if that guy was dead,” Lin Chong muttered after hearing Hikari’s words.

To be honest, Guan Shihu was outstanding. Even among the elite gathered at Yanjing University, he was a dazzling gem. His character was trustworthy, and after so many years of knowing him, Guan Xiaojun naturally saw that clearly.

Standing to his left was a red-haired man with a stern, fierce face, unmoving as he stared down at the arena below. Several scars marked his face—the wounds left from a battle against the Phoenix of the Hepei Academy.

Without the system’s help, an ordinary fledgling university student couldn’t withstand over a hundred thousand attacks.

Forceful! Lin Di’s negotiation was not only strategic but also exceptionally assertive. Initially, he used a virtual game helmet to strip others of their voice, then pressed the two chairpersons with a firm hand. Though it seemed he was seeking their opinions, his questions left no room for negotiation.

Fortunately, Qiu Shui did not test all the Zilda gas at once. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be an artificial island anymore. The surrounding thousands of kilometers would be engulfed in flames, vast amounts of seawater evaporated, and half the planet would enter a rainy era.

Just as the phantom was about to pounce in front of them, Wang Hao’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

Hearing this, the Cloud Ascendant and Yang Que’er both frowned, while Shijun fanned himself with a white jade fan, wearing an indifferent look.

“No problem.” Liu Hai had long admired the inner courtyard and had grown impatient. Now that he could take the exam early, he welcomed it eagerly.

The system had always been Li Qingyuan’s secret weapon and trump card. Now that it was invalidated, he felt lost, truly facing a dire crisis.

Lan Xuanzhi saw the attack coming and hastily withdrew his left hand from the Gale Leopard, gripping the blue halberd tightly. With a shout, he thrust forward fiercely.

Add to that the warrior tribe—a cosmic warrior people capable of breaking through the atmosphere alone, smashing stars with a single punch.

His tall, slender figure seemed ready to transcend the mortal realm at any moment. With his cultivation level, true transcendence was impossible; such a path ended only in obliteration of body and soul. Instead, he chose to harness the power of transcendence to dissolve the surrounding enemies, removing a great threat to the Witch tribe.

After speaking, the green mist around her thickened. The hardest part was that her once-beautiful purple hair began to disperse, strands floating eerily in the air.

These words caused representatives of other factions to blush. If not for Li Qingyuan’s intervention, the formation and barrier would never have succeeded. Later, if not for Li Qingyuan’s secret actions, the barrier’s gate could never have been opened.
