Upon hearing that the Xiongnu were dispatching troops to launch an invasion, the Emperor of the Han dynasty grew exceedingly panicked. He asked Zhang Qing how this crisis could be resolved. Zhang Qing smiled faintly and told the Emperor that he had a solution, assuring him that as long as the Emperor granted him the full authority to handle the matter, the Han dynasty would enjoy lasting peace from that day forward.

The cultivation levels of these two individuals were by no means low, both standing at the peak of the Dominion realm, whereas the strength displayed by Ye Haoran was merely at the late stage of the Dominion realm.

"Very well, it is settled then. I am going to go speak with my father right now!" The cloaked figure refused to listen to him whatsoever and turned to walk away.

High in the air, Tuka Qing swooped down from above, brandishing his weapon to create numerous floral spear shadows in an attempt to confuse Lu Yu. As he closed into the attack range, he suddenly thrust out nine consecutive times in a split second, seeking to break through Lu Yu's defense from directly overhead.

The outcome Wu Fuming feared the most had ultimately occurred. Throughout the journey there, he had been harboring anxieties about this exact scenario. He was not afraid of Wang Chen turning on him and stabbing him in the back; since he had chosen to place his trust in Wang Chen, he would accept it. If Wang Chen truly acted in such a manner, he could only resign himself to bad luck and blame it on poor fortune.

Elder Mu and I returned to the vehicle. "Elder Mu, can their identities be trusted?" I asked softly.

Traveling alongside Kou Yanqing to assume his new post in Xiangzhou were forty thousand Liang troops mobilized from various regions. Combined with the original garrison stationed in Shannan Dongdao, the forces under Kou Yanqing's command swelled to over fifty thousand men.

Ever since his dao companion Qiao'er perished, he had remained perpetually melancholy, opening up the Heavenly Ingenuity Star to live in seclusion within the chaos, far from worldly disputes. Ever since Yu Ziang's visit to the Heavenly Craft Mansion, his ears had been repeatedly filled with the name of a stellar junior: An Botian.

"President Wu is already in place, and Yu Yun is waiting in the meeting room." Yu Feng's expression remained completely devoid of emotion as he succinctly answered the question posed by his boss and volunteered the information the boss wanted to know but had not yet voiced.

"We have your timely assistance to thank for this time, otherwise we likely would have been wiped out completely," Sky Battler said indifferently.

"That should not be the case. That person is still merely a child, appearing to be around ten years of age," Guard Zi remarked.

Operating under the new cooperative strategy, the two of us engaged in large-scale "Butterfly Catching Operations," causing our experience points to skyrocket while our potion reserves plummeted drastically, watching the quest items accumulate one by one.

With a soft, crisp sound, the section of the tail in Xiao Han's grasp separated from the serpent's body as the snake completely slithered into the cave.

"Good younger brother, none of these five characters managed to roll a hidden novice village, so they cannot stay with you for the time being. Choose a novice village first and entrust them there," said the elder sister.

"Hey, do you intend to maintain your status as an elector?" Xiresu suddenly uttered a statement that sounded like a thunderbolt out of a clear blue sky.

"Speak, I am listening," Lu Yuexie said coldly, dangling the half spearhead right before his eyes.

Jiang Haoran was not his biological son; although this matter had not yet been made public, Wu Meiyi could no longer bring herself to face Jiang Haoran. Besides, since even Zhou Ziliang found the situation somewhat troublesome, how could Wu Meiyi possibly be of any help?

Huang Qikun let out a roar, seized the middle-aged man's head with both hands, and gave it a vicious twist. With a sharp snap, the middle-aged man's neck was broken, and his head slumped sideways as life left him. In that very instant, the remaining individuals were also gunned down by the men Huang Qikun had brought along.

"Dad, Mom..." In the reflection of the mirror, his true self called out to Gu Huaien and Yan Lis. Originally, he had believed he was finally blessed with a warm and loving family, never anticipating that he would suddenly transform into this state.

Turning around, he was pulled into a tight embrace by Edward, followed immediately by a kiss. Yet Lin Ke's heart felt as though it were blocked by something heavy, and tears streamed down his cheeks.

If Tiger Town shared no animosity with their City of Miracles, why would they go out of their way to take up arms against the City of Miracles for no reward?

After a half-hour lecture concluded, fully half of the attendees were still incapable of fashioning the simplest puppet vessel.

Li Zheng was stunned, recalling that when Sword Two Three Three had previously unlocked rewards, he was in a severely injured state and had not even reached the ninth grade. Yet now, within such a short span of time, he was already recovering his ninth-grade strength... Could this elevation in rank be considered a "major change" in identity?

The official granary was cleaner than his own face. Lin Yi did not find this surprising in the slightest; he merely smiled, issued a couple of instructions to Old Gu, and strode directly into the granary.

By this time, all the dishes had been served. The two of them ate while chatting, their conversation warm and lively, completely devoid of any remaining distance or awkwardness.

Lin Ke continued to explain, "If I were to recount too much meaningless background to you, you would certainly sense my peculiarity. My uniqueness lies solely in the fact that I retained the memories of my past life, in which Liang Yumingfei was a close friend of mine." Such fabricated ghost stories fell well within a comprehensible framework for ancient people who deeply revered superstition.

Inside the spacecraft, Longchuan stared at the imagery transmitted by the probe onto the virtual screen, his brows tightly furrowed.

Wearing a dress for the very first time, Xingxing initially found it rather novel. However, after merely a single day, he grew thoroughly annoyed by it, feeling a chilly draft around his legs and an overall sense of discomfort.

Just as Lin Yi was pondering how to completely subjugate the Hegemon of Chu and those armored warriors, the system prompts delivered an unexpected and delightful surprise.

If the riddle remained unsolved, it was feared that this riddle would become the ultimate challenge of every lantern festival hereafter.

He estimated that it would take approximately a year for his soul essence to complete its healing process and return to a flawless state of being.

Stravic Castle was situated in a high-latitude region. Although people spoke of waiting for nightfall, by the time the sky genuinely began to darken, the clock hand had already pointed toward eleven o'clock at night.

"It has been a long time since I hosted a live broadcast. Shall we hold one tonight?" Surprisingly, it was Xiao Yunting who took the initiative to suggest this, hoping to leverage the enthusiastic fans to bring a bit of cheer to Ruan Ruan.

He had no inkling that this player had also gathered a group of masterminds, attempting to decode the secrets of the Barren Abyss.

His objective was fundamentally to secure victory in the abyss war, incarnate as the Barren Demon God, and devour this scorching abyss! The decline of the Flame Demon clan was already a foregone conclusion; once he seized the Scorching Lord's Mark, absolute victory in this abyss war would be his.

Huahua was quite obedient most of the time, but if you were praying for a Husky to behave like a Border Collie, you were vastly mistaken. I was even deeply curious as to where a Central Plains-born Lu Ban had found the inspiration to construct a Husky—surely a Chinese rural dog would have been far more endearing?

Upon arriving beside the helicopter, the large transport truck came to a halt, and six young men disembarked from the vehicle.

At that moment, the double-mouthed demon was seen smashing, striking, and swatting away the pestering bug demons obstructing its path as it marched toward the energy ray emitter. It cut an imposing, formidable figure reminiscent of a legendary hero making a grand entrance.
