Perhaps he was never even given the chance to be asked whether he was willing to fade into the darkness and bear eternal infamy from that moment on, whether he was willing to execute his own teacher with his own hands, and whether he was willing to enter the countdown of his life right from the very beginning of the mission.

"Longevity, only longevity gives them something to pursue. They have already attained all the glory and power this world has to offer; at such an advanced age, they simply must have something to look forward to!" Old loyalist said with a sneer.

Seeing her disciple struggle into such a wretched state, Lady Miaodu felt her grievances toward the Tang Emperor Li Yanqing grow a notch deeper.

Some families are riddled with internal conspiracies, where power struggles never cease, and members would tear each other apart like dogs just for the position of patriarch.

However, after her previous encounter with Old Madam Jiang at the Yifu Hall, Xia Churan had been deeply worried about whether Old Madam Jiang could remain on her side.

The collapse of this blood moon directly led to the resurgence of ten thousand evils. The residents of the city had nowhere left to flee, and mountain and hell alike hung upon this single thought.

He could no longer distinguish the subtle nuances in tone, no longer keenly perceive changes in melody, and could no longer even hear audio frequencies within certain ranges.

What is so, is so. What is not so, is not so. The Dao is made by walking it, and things are called such because they are. Why are they so? Because they are so. Why are they not so? Because they are not so. Things naturally have that which is so, and things naturally have that which is admissible. There is nothing that is not so, and nothing that is not admissible. Therefore, take the stalk of a blade of grass and the grand pillar, the leper and Xi Shi, the grotesque and the monstrous—the Dao unites them all into one.

The elderly expert seemed to sense that something was amiss. His face filled with wariness, his entire body shuddering uncontrollably, he slightly raised his arms, almost instinctively gathering his breath and strength. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his shoulder blades, and the surging internal energy leaked completely away from the scapulae that had been pierced by iron hooks, causing his arms to drop helplessly.

The boundless and endless memories were unlocked all at once at the very instant the Divine Pill of Apocalypse activated. Fragments of memory fluttered like snowflakes, rapidly intertwining to form a complete thread of recollection.

Dagran Thaurissan took a sip of liquor to moisten his throat, smacked his lips, and said: Although they were discussing a very serious matter, he didn't look serious at all, appearing instead as if he were thoroughly enjoying a fine, strong wine.

Although these reporters were full of questions and dissatisfaction regarding Lin Han's final play, there was no doubt that following his duel with Barkley, Lin Han once again dominated the front pages of major media outlets across America the next day, especially given the many extraordinary events that had transpired between the two during this game.

Having finally gotten his wish, Varian Wrynn loved his queen wholeheartedly, but what he had just heard made it hard for Varian Wrynn to believe his own ears.

At least in this game, facing the Nets' double-teams, Lin Han enjoyed executing his mid-range jumpers using Kobe's skill, whereas McGrady's skill felt somewhat restricted.

Once upon a time, this young man whom they had once mocked was now equipped with the capital to trade blows with supreme masters of the Dao.

In the vast Eastern Domain and the boundless Eastern Sea, there stood a massive floating island where the Dragon clan had resided for generations. Half the blood flowing in their veins belonged to sacred beasts, and the other half to mortals.

Since the decision was made, there was no more hesitation. After all, nobody knew what the current situation was like over at the Illusory God Sect. The six members of the Ye family, together with Ling Jin, stood up simultaneously and rushed toward the teleportation array, leaving no one behind. Once they encountered Thor, only by forming their seven-person formation would they have a chance to fight back.

I felt a secret pang of anxiety. The hope I had originally harbored—thinking this was the only clue to finding Chen Jing and the others—had now been broken.

He laughed inwardly: Relying on the Celestial Bead to cheat, my tolerance for alcohol is truly bottomless. Forget about drinking you all under the table; if I feel like it someday, breaking the Guinness World Record for alcohol consumption won't be a difficult task either.

On this day, walking along a path overgrown with wild grass that seemed to run along the edge of a cliff, Wu Cheng stepped forward to take a look. Sure enough, high cliffs loomed above and below, and he realized he was positioned on the lower section of a precipice.

This time it was Yun Tianfu's turn to flush green with rage. He tightened his grip on his saber, wishing he could stab him right then and there. "Xue Qiange, you thousand-times-damned bitch, I will definitely make the entire Xue clan be buried with you!" Yun Tianfu said with a sinister glare.

Lan Yu found an underground drainage outlet near the base of the surrounding wall. Even here, they had blocked the opening with tangled electric wire mesh, clearly to prevent anyone from crawling in or out. If this were merely an ordinary residential building, it wouldn't need such heavy security.

The hotel room was fairly comfortable. Li Huanhuan and I stayed in a very large suite, and the two police officers were staying with us as well.

Grand Tutor Ye cast a peculiar look at the Empress Dowager. The Emperor had just praised Xue Qiange; could he possibly say anything else? "Grand Preceptor Xue is virtuous and righteous. For Qingjian to marry such a royal consort is truly his blessing," said Grand Tutor Ye.

Only then did I understand why Ding Hui was the one assigned to lead the way for us; it turned out he had already become the adjutant to the commander of the Dragon-Guarding Corps. In terms of rank, he was now my superior officer.

Shi Xiaofeng was filled with apprehension and repeatedly promised to strictly follow the doctor's orders in the future, while thinking to himself: The amount of physical exertion I put in last night was far greater than doing one-armed push-ups. If this old man ever found out, he would surely chew me out!

Wu Yuan and Shen Tong arrived at the resort hotel, took the elevator to the third floor, and approached room 308, knocking according to the prearranged signal.

To be honest, Han Mingchao had been rather restless and distracted over the past few days. Deep down in his heart, he really missed that young girl—and not just in an ordinary way.

"Pbah! Master, the last time Master Lin and I were attacked by a crystal beast, he was the one who injured me!" Zhang Ke spat out indignantly.

"Someone has been using living people for experiments in Dongyang City, and this has been going on for half a year. Over the past six months, countless people have died because of it. Those individuals are utterly devoid of conscience, and this malignant tumor must be pulled out by the roots," Xiao Chen said sternly.

"Xiuyuan, I won't make things difficult for you. My existence should not bring trouble to you. If you want to go back, I will escort you home.
