Volume 1, Chapter 55: Stay Together

The skeletal knight sat majestically atop his skeletal warhorse, wielding a white bone saber. Two green flames danced within his hollow eye sockets, instilling instinctive fear in anyone who laid eyes upon him.

Wu Yu nodded in response. Chu Xintian and Xue Hao felt somewhat restrained upon seeing the police and dared not say much, merely following behind.

Listening to Long Wu’s unquestionable tone, Tang Yaru wore a startled look, her pretty face turning extremely awkward.

As expected of the overlord of the seas, Ao Yu had roamed the East Sea and the Star-Sinking Sea for many years, accumulating quite a wealth of treasures.

Hearing this, Wu Qiong’s face finally showed a hint of joy. He naturally firmly believed that with Ba Cang’s current abilities, he could easily locate Gu Lao and shatter his soul body, condemning him to eternal damnation.

However, in the Demon Domain, spiritual herbs and elixirs were in oversupply! Many tribes struggled to find buyers due to pricing issues. Yet the appearance of Long Wu at this moment was akin to finding an outlet for a pent-up flood! For a time, day and night, specialists were assigned to handle acquisitions at the residence of Long Xiao in Amber Sky City.

Meanwhile, Lei Xiao’s gaze instantly locked onto Xiao Qingya, filled with undisguised burning desire. But the next instant, he forced himself to calm down; showing such an obnoxious, lecherous demeanor upon a first meeting did not befit his status as the number one young talent of Nanyang City.

At this thought, Xiao Qiuyu stared even more intently at the jade table’s treasure chest, for he had no idea what was hidden inside. Moreover, judging by his appearance, he did not seem to belong here at all. Why had he appeared in this place, only to eventually draw the pursuit of so many immortals?

"You are the 'Know-It-All'?" Xiao Qiuyu asked, somewhat doubtfully, as he truly found it hard to believe that anyone could know everything.

The Empress had never overstepped to interfere in the affairs of the Mu family, and naturally, the First Madam could not make representations to the Empress regarding her affairs. The only person who could speak at a time like this was the Empress's father.

At the same time, he instructed Zhang Zhongjian to give the fallen soldiers a generous burial and send a batch of pensions to their families, ensuring that the dependents could live out their remaining years in peace.

The catapults on the city wall began shifting their targets, hurling massive boulders toward the Liaodong army’s watchtowers and siege engines. During previous battles, the Liaodong army had also deployed watchtowers. Operating from an elevated position, they used bows and arrows to inflict heavy casualties upon the Youzhou soldiers on the city wall.

Unable to hear Mei Mo’s voice at all, Leng Yu abruptly pushed Mei Mo away and stared at her own hands, which suddenly seemed stained with crimson blood, while the cries of a newborn infant echoed in her ears.

"Stop right there and have lunch with me," Sun Xueer said in a cold tone, turning her face away to the side.

However, this Sui dynasty soldier had not even had time to exhale in relief before he collapsed to the ground. A piercing, cold iron arrow had pierced his throat, snuffing out his youthful and vibrant life.

A-Feng’s heart rose into her throat once again. That capital city was hardly a pleasant place, holding few fond memories for her, yet the two most important men in her life were now residing there.

The man in black turned his head to look at Wen Qing and Ping Erzhi. Seeing that they remained standing in place without leaving, he felt quite baffled. Without overthinking it, however, he walked right up to Wen Qing, dropped heavily to his knees with a loud thud, and kowtowed three times in rapid succession.

"I'm doing great!" Moumou symbolically raised her slender arm and flexed to show off her muscles, though, of course, nothing of the sort appeared.

Luo Ning gave a cold, dismissive chuckle and simply turned her face away, refusing to speak. She reckoned that Li Ning had offended plenty of people by now and would suffer setbacks without her needing to lift a finger. Besides, after this ordeal, she might even manage to make a name for herself. Once her reputation was established and she secured the backing of an inner sect disciple, she could bring honor to her ancestors and rest easy thereafter.

She had exhausted every effort, applying all the experiences from her past life that she had been unable to use to heal Panpan.

Her methods were ruthless, ensuring that the disfigurement would not heal anytime soon. Mi Jia knew how to make alchemical pills; could the old demons of the Mi family possibly lack good items?

A smile bloomed across his face, looking exceptionally brilliant under the sunlight as he waved toward her.

Qiu Du Sheng might belong to the Qing Luo Empire and had some connections with the Luo Le family, which was why he specifically glanced at Jing Hong.

Song Tinglan was first startled, then furious. What did "requesting to be cast aside" mean? Wasn't it just abandoning him? In the Great Xia Kingdom, she was always the one who abandoned others; when was it ever someone else's turn to abandon her?

"It's not him looking for you; it's me looking for you, which might disappoint you." At that exact moment, a man’s voice broke the silence of the night, right before he could turn his head and frown in suspicion. His attention had been entirely focused on An Nan before him, leaving him completely unaware that someone else had been hiding in the dark to the side.

Qiao Nuo shook her head to rid her mind of those chaotic thoughts, then got up to wash and freshen up.

"Why are you here? Where are the family doctors? Are they all dead?" Kai Xue stood at the doorway, looking with a gloomy and hostile expression at Li Que, who sat with his back to her on the sofa.

Naturally, this situation was not severe enough to disrupt the peace of the current era, but if it continued unchecked, the stagnant research institute of ranged weaponry would inevitably hinder humanity's forward march.

When tired, they could rest collectively. Some concepts required digestion, and research had to be paired with checking references—who could blame them when their mental inventory fell short?

Seeing this, Yang Tian knew the ghost head was finished. Just as he was about to recall the Gold-Devouring Insects to minimize losses, two massive explosions rang out.

Yet there was nobody else around. Apart from myself, there was only Sister Er-Dai. What could she do even if she saw? A mere mortal trying to contend with so many blazing ghosts would likely end up just adding to the body count.

"Viewed in this light, the Bait government must hold undisclosed information. Alternatively, among the various current inferences, the government believes that certain deductions are highly likely to be correct."

Old Ba happily followed behind the expressionless Old Si, accompanying Kangxi as he moved his entourage to Yonghe Palace.

At that moment, a true-qi giant hand reached in again. Judging by the frantic manner in which the hand grabbed about, one could tell how anxious those outside were. Crown Prince Kang, suffering from heavier injuries and sensing danger, hurriedly grabbed Lin Wa Wa and rolled a few times on the ground, successfully dodging into a blind spot.

A direct hit! Instantly, the iron staff struck Gao Han’s right chest, forcing him to retreat further, all the way to a wider space well away from the fish pond.

Yet around the same year, a new problem emerged regarding integration with Japari intelligent animals, a matter the Bait government largely turned a blind eye to.

Yang Linfeng felt as though he had been handed a hot potato; he sat on pins and needles, his eye sockets bloodshot, his face twisted and terrifying to behold.

"Fine! Yang Jian, today I, Nezha, break our sworn brotherhood and slash our robes apart!" With a sharp rip, Nezha used his Fire-Tip Spear to sever a corner of his robe, looking utterly solemn.
