“I understand, Sister Lian!”

Lu Yaoyao was in low spirits. She merely sighed as she spoke.

“What’s wrong?”

“Are you feeling unwell?” A-Lian sensed her mood and asked with concern.

“No, Sister Lian. I’m fine!”

“Don’t worry. I’ve almost finished practicing the new song!”

“It’s all thanks to Xu Zhou. Without the compositions he provided, I would never have so easily won the championship of the first season!” Gratitude filled Lu Yaoyao’s heart as she said this.

“Actually, anyone can see that Teacher Xu has feelings for you!”

“But Yaoyao, you must remember that your career is on the rise. You absolutely mustn’t let your emotions…”

Before Yu Wei could reply, Xiao Lin leaped out of the portal between space and time. Their mouths hung open, and the same thought rose in both their minds: Wasn’t it said that no one was allowed to become an immortal after the founding of the nation?

In low-level matches, Yasuo is usually banned because people are afraid their own teammate will pick him, not because they fear the opposing team might use him.

When she turned around again, she discovered that the man who had originally been held in his arms had also vanished without a trace.

Li Ming could hardly believe his eyes. Xiao Lin, Qu Jun, Yu Xiao, and even the two elders of Xiao Lin standing before him, whose names he did not know, had all appeared in the footage—and seemed greatly admired by those white people and Native Americans. Even with the eye of a veteran soldier, Li Ming could find no flaw in the one-minute video.

The Ghost King let out a miserable wail where he stood. He tried to beg You Jian for mercy, but not a sound came from his mouth. Only the buzzing of his nose could be heard.

“Don’t worry. I’m not dead yet.” Lei Yu bared his teeth in a grin. Though he had been sent flying by a single punch and suffered a heavy blow, his injuries were not particularly serious. After all, his physical body was no weakling; it was stronger than that of many demonic beasts.

“Hmph. Stop talking about killing Lei Yu every other sentence. I doubt you have the ability.” Yaorao snorted, thoroughly displeased. She did not mind Xue Ningshang practicing dual cultivation with Lei Yu, but she very much disliked Xue Ningshang constantly threatening to kill him.

Grandfather Zhang was already very old. Precisely because of that, he understood far more clearly what sort of person stood before him.

Yin Yufeng was utterly certain. “You don’t understand. The greatest hermits hide among the common people. The closer a place is to what we can imagine, the more likely it is where the truth lies. Liu Zhihe and the others are shrewd and never act according to convention. Tonight, we must strengthen our defenses here. Once we survive the night, I’ll have the king send troops to attack Beikou Town tomorrow, before Wu Zheng arrives.”

Yet the sword in his hand released its momentum. Borrowing Zhu Gu’s strength, it swiftly traced a semicircle and swept upward from below toward his opponent’s chest.

For one thing, it had been many days since she had seen Qin Wuyan. For another, there was the matter of the shop.

In this world of the Void Tree, it was exceedingly rare to encounter a Nirvana-realm expert like Wuma Tieyu.

She shot Qin Yuchuan a meaningful glance, urging him to stand up quickly. It would be awkward if Mother caught them like this later.

Qin Wuyan had known nothing of this beforehand, and even the Cherrywood King had been unaware. After all, given the Cherrywood King’s status, he had no need to enter the Silent Desolation Heaven through the city moat.

The young man nodded. His large eyes fixed on Qin Hu. They were filled with blood vessels, and cracks had even appeared across his eyeballs.

“Release my disciple.” Seeing Old Wang being tormented by Qin Hu, the old man spoke up at once, intending to save his disciple.

“Bankrupt?” Qin Hu froze. All right, Feng Wusheng must have made his move. But then he discovered that the saying about Cao Cao arriving the moment he was mentioned was perfectly true. A Santana drove up, and Zhang Ming and Wu Huahua shot straight out of the car.

If the cloudship were damaged in the fighting, the Holy Imperial City would hold them accountable. Even Lord Zhao would be unable to escape responsibility.

“Brother Hu~” The young man who had just arrived stepped before Hu Zhisui. Yet in the next instant, Hu Zhisui began to howl. He had been trying to show off and had completely forgotten that his hand was broken. Slamming it onto the table without pain would have been the real miracle.

Even the royal treasure, the Seven-Colored Phoenix Crown, had been burned to ashes a hundred years ago when the Emperor, dead drunk, casually flicked a heavenly flame at it.

As for Hanjing, she desperately wished to see her father, but because of her appearance, she feared she would frighten him. This remained so even after the Yellow Emperor had sought help from every divine being under heaven.

“Are you threatening me?” Earl Dongyong asked again. This time, however, he was not merely asking. He had already smashed the teacup in his hand against Bai Baoguo’s head, scattering shards of porcelain across the floor.

Zhan Dongtong shook his head with a smile. Haonan’s words had sounded as though he had said something, yet also as though he had said nothing at all. Still, it would not be wise to press him further; doing so would certainly arouse Haonan’s suspicion. In any case, one thing was clear: Haonan possessed enough talent to command anyone’s attention.

Although Ling Xiao had given them a warning, he was by no means obliged to help them, much less reveal their exact destination. They had to do everything themselves—to search and to find their own way. Otherwise, they would never grow.

Who could possibly be Kong Xuan’s opponent? With ease, the merit of the Four Great Ferocious Beasts descended upon Kong Xuan and the other two.

Second Brother felt that he had no place in the conversation and could only lower his head and eat, afraid to speak carelessly. There were certain matters into which he had no business intruding, and at the time he had not wanted to become too entangled with Bai Baoguo and the others.

“Roar!”

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon bellowed. From its mouth erupted a golden shockwave as thick as a barrel, blasting toward the Five-Clawed White Dragon.

Those two words sprang simultaneously from Ghost Rong and Arhat’s mouths. After answering the Madman’s question in unison, they looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Chen Xiao had already sensed that although each level contained only one puppet, and all of them were at exactly the same realm, there were still differences in strength between them.

Though the demonic beast’s neck had been severed, it was not yet dead. Its twisted head let out another shrill howl, and a vast tide of blood-colored energy exploded from its body, filling the entire space.

A trace of determination unconsciously rose in his eyes. My child, no matter what happens, I will never again allow anyone to harm him in the slightest.

Ling Hao and Tang Yaying were naturally not so depraved. Although fighting in the wild might be thrilling, the pleasure came more from the psychological excitement than from anything physical.

Shen Wei paid none of these matters any mind. If no one provoked me, I would not provoke anyone. It was best for everyone to keep to their own side and leave one another in peace.

The ceremony for entering the family register had originally been set by the Old Master of the Yang family and Old Yang for the twentieth day of the fourth month according to the lunar calendar.

The Crown Prince had suffered a setback at Guangju Pavilion. He had intended to return to court and request troops to wipe it out, but the search for the Spirit Power Fruit was urgent and little time remained. If someone else reached it first, how would he answer to the Emperor?
