Chapter 36

Several teammates arrived and, seeing Dian Zhuangcang lying on the ground and the vanished leopard shadow, were filled with mixed emotions. They lifted Dian Zhuangcang onto a flying artifact, preparing to leave, and couldn’t help but tease the unconscious Dian Zhuangcang a little.

Liang Lingcheng’s words displeased Shen Xiubai. He deliberately brought Dangdang close, as if holding a trump card in his hand.

In the courtyard, several identically dressed individuals paced back and forth. They didn’t look like farmers tending chickens or cleaning but rather like soldiers on guard, their eyes full of vigilance.

The law is the outward manifestation of the Way; the Way is the inner essence of the law. Only by reaching the level of the Great Dao Immortal can one be a true seeker of the Way.

“There’s nothing particularly special about it; it’s just the place where the Great Dao Martial Discussion is held. Every hundred years, major factions receive invitations to gather at Qingyun Peak for the Great Dao Martial Discussion. I participated once, five hundred years ago, but I was defeated,” Fang Youya explained.

Yan Han suddenly felt unbearable pain. Before he could react, a fierce punch struck his face, sending him sprawling on his back, unable to move.

Although she denied liking Chu Chaoshen in front of him back then, the worry in her eyes now was genuine and not feigned.

After all, Fang Hao promised her five billion true soul pearls as capital, enabling her to earn five billion in war funds within three months in the business world—an admittedly difficult task.

Baili Liuyun gritted his teeth, without hesitation closed his eyes, and with a strong effort, his fingers pierced through Qing Cang’s abdomen, feeling the presence of the Demon Core and retrieving it.

Those words were spoken lightly, but the other classmates around were speechless; some even rolled their eyes. “Do you think this is just killing chickens?”

Yang Bo was dumbfounded, feeling an urge to slap himself. How did he end up saying such a thing so inexplicably?

It was like using the money of these thieves to eliminate some thieves here, then using the survivors as tools.

Jiangbei Commandery is quite a distance from the capital. If one were to deliver this letter on horseback, even if the rider neither ate nor rested and the horse never tired, it would likely take at least over ten days to reach the capital.

Afterward, the giant face on the Aurora Wall began to distort, transforming into a terrifying skeletal figure.

As long as he stayed away from these islands, once the battle robots expelled him beyond a certain range, they would no longer pursue him.

She was merely retaliating in kind; how could Ye Qianxue accuse her of having a heart as venomous as a scorpion?

This was completely different from now; bearing the mark of a caged bird meant lifelong separation from the family, and descendants were forever servants.

At this moment, Tian not only showed no dissatisfaction but gradually displayed signs of growing courage, as if having found a guiding core.

Upon receiving the news, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately sent Nara Shikaku to inquire about the situation at the Hokage Tower.

Yao Yao coquettishly smiled at Luo Zhiyong, then wrapped her arms around her father’s neck and kicked playfully in his embrace.

Because she chose to follow Jiang Chen, and as Jiang Chen’s potential grew, many things would become easier for her in the future.

The benefits of late childbirth became immediately apparent. According to seniority, even if Hongzhi met him, he would have to address him as “paternal elder uncle.” The eldest son of the late patriarch, who had already passed away, would be called “paternal uncle” by Hongzhi, despite being only five years older than him.

“Zhong Chuhong said whether she could win Best Actress depends entirely on you. Do you have some kind of agreement between you?” another reporter raised a hand to ask.

A series of events indicated that the old New Art City, which once forced Jiahe and Shao Film to unite against it, had faded into the past. Coupled with the recent rise of Yongsheng, the landscape of the film dynasty was quietly undergoing change.

“Do you all remember the sect that once thrived on formations, revered across the Ancient Continent, and to which all factions bowed, only to suddenly vanish?” Xie Jun asked.

Wang Qingwen raised her cup for the second time, saying, “This cup is to wish for the flourishing of Great Ming and peace for its people.” Zhu Houwei had no choice but to drink this third cup.

He withdrew the card, placed it back in his wallet, then pulled out his own black card and handed it to Shu Nian.

“You bastard! Violent man!” She scrambled up angrily, glaring at him. Obviously, she was mad at him, and since the matter hadn’t been resolved, he inexplicably got angry at her instead.

The maid silently held the insulated box containing the blood bags that Lin Xiu had given her, with a mysterious smile that said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” silently bidding Lin Xiu farewell.

But the difficulty was only temporary. If the opponent’s divine consciousness recovered somewhat, Su Tang was inevitably doomed.

Both were elegant and graceful, riding horses down the street. Even though the citizens of the Xia Kingdom were highly disciplined, passersby couldn’t help but stop and watch from time to time.

Holding Zhan Xian’er and Leng Manyan on either side in his arms, Long Xiaofeng looked at these two treasures with great delight. His wide mouth kept darting over their faces, making Zhan Xian’er laugh happily—her first such joy in a long time.

“The first and second people who tell me Su Qingxue’s whereabouts, I can spare their lives. As for the others, I won’t show any mercy,” Su Tang declared.
