Chapter 56

"You mean you want me to go and learn the secret brewing method for crystal paste? Li Xiaoyao promised that to you, not to me!" Lin Zichen still looked somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"My lord, your mouth is truly sweeter than honey by a margin of three." As she spoke, Li Ping'er gently tapped the man's lips.

Watching the brilliant lights flying back across the sky, the dark-faced Taoist priest's face turned green in an instant. If the terrifying radiance formed by such powerful malevolent flying dragons were all directed at him at once, he would probably be blasted into smithereens without a single bone left. How could this young man feel powerful to such a bizarre degree?

"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down," Zhang Xiao said sheepishly, knowing full well he was completely in the wrong regarding this matter.

"All of them?" The battle Niu Fu had anticipated did not immediately erupt. Ming Xuzi and the other two were completely struck dumb by his wild and arrogant words.

Then Zhang Yao and Baby gazed deeply into each other's eyes, drew slowly closer, and shared an affectionate, passionate embrace as if they were truly facing a tearful parting of life and death. This was not merely for show; Zhang Yao was simultaneously seizing the opportunity to give Baby a hint—speaking out loud would allow others to hear, so he could only communicate by tracing messages on her back.

As for the formerly towering mountain gate of Louguan Taoist Temple below, it had completely been reduced to a low-lying slope amidst a vast expanse of molten lava.

"Even if it is difficult to handle, we must do it. We have to figure out a way to launch a counterattack," said Semyritov.

This path was inspired by the Tao of divine incense and joss paper, extracting the power of faith from living beings and disciples to forge a golden body, cultivate longevity, and comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.

Now, with Qin Fan as their backing, the remaining matters could be entirely left to Zhuo Rong to manage, requiring no personal appearance from Zhuo Wanqing.

At this moment, the opponent was already under control, devoid of independent thought and acting purely on instinct.

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the robber who had just seized Liang Xue was sent flying backward like a tattered sandbag, crashing heavily against the bank counter. When they looked again, he had already lost consciousness.

It is undeniable that the ancient architectural style in Britain truly aligns with people's aesthetic tastes, and coupled with its many glowing halos, it appears all the more special in people's eyes.

Although he had never witnessed it himself, he had long heard rumors of this name within the circles of the wealthy in Sichuan.

Han Yi turned on the high beams and kept honking the horn. The man not far ahead shielded his eyes with his hand, and the onlookers all turned to look. Seeing Zhong Ying'er being held by both arms, Li Jia drove her car straight ahead to block the vehicle in front.

Extending his hand, the man snapped his fingers, and out of thin air, a round table and several chairs materialized before them. With a gentle wave of his hand, a bottle of red wine also appeared on the table.

Although the test for Dragon-class special forces was used as a cover to conceal the search for energy stones within the military region, it was far from certain that foreign forces outside the Dragon Kingdom had failed to notice the changes on this island.

"Old Zhao, are these factories really that formidable?" The speaker was Zhang Liang, a classmate of Zhao Donghai who currently worked at the investment promotion bureau of a certain county.

Happily accepting the insect-rearing jar, Xiao Qingying nodded solemnly. In truth, she had long coveted the jar; as a spirit entity, compared to magical artifacts, she rather preferred creatures like the exotic-scented bees.

"Fortunately, fortunately. We ran over here the moment the tremors started. If we had stayed within a mile of the foot of Broken Sky Mountain, we wouldn't have been smashed to pieces by falling rocks," He Long said with lingering fear, clicking his tongue in awe as he gazed at the ceaseless rain of boulders tumbling down the distant towering peak, feeling immensely grateful.

The spiritual light within the arena gradually dissipated, and the people could finally make out the scene inside. They saw a massive spatial tear, which had almost split the entire arena space in two, slowly healing itself. Vaguely, one could still perceive tiny specks of golden light mixed with pearly white lingering along the jagged fissure, slowly fading away.

Snort! Uncle Zhao could no longer hold back and laughed. The Blue Bird? Never did he expect Li Aichuan to retain such childish innocence; upon acquiring his first vehicle, out of sheer affection, he had bestowed upon it such a quirky yet utterly commonplace name.

Hearing the old man's words, expressions of sudden enlightenment surfaced on the faces of the crowd. Exchanging glances, they nodded in unison, their faces reflecting agreement.

Upon hearing these words, the imperial guards inside the tent were all startled. Seeing the emperor's expression darken, Lu Wanli secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Le Yiyang.

"Are you truly willing to sacrifice everything?" Meng Xiongfei raised a single hand, frivolously lifting Gu Panpan's smooth chin, and leaned in close with an evil smile to ask her.

"How can this be!" Lu Youxia shook his head repeatedly. Even if the Monqin Babahan agreed, the various tribes of the grasslands would never sit idly by and watch Li Luo lead thirty thousand cavalrymen swaggering into the grasslands.

As soon as Ye Tian stepped inside, he caught sight of a middle-aged man in the midst of cultivation.

Lu Zhicheng felt utterly bewildered at this moment, failing to understand why Le Yiyang had exposed his background. However, seeing how deeply those martial arts chivalrous men respected his father brought him a sliver of comfort.

"Alright, since you are sincere in treating me, I'll pick a grand restaurant and have a proper feast at your expense! Let me ask you this though, can I bring dependents?" Hu Dafang brazenly pushed his luck; you tease, I banter, and anyway, he had nothing pressing right now.

Old Wen and I could not go and disturb him; we had to wait until the deity sobered up. This was also why we had to drink with Chen Xingbao first, and why we let Ma Se go into a trance before he even arrived—just in case we finished and the deity was still sleeping while Ma Se showed up, things would become a tremendous mess.

Yuxuzi was startled by Bai Wushang's words. In his view, since he had made such a choice, it meant he was breaking his promise first, and these immortal pills were certainly not something they deserved to take.

Although Ye Feng had long stated that this gambling stone had a high probability of sharing the same situation as the one he previously won at the open bid auction, and the current reality indeed matched everything Ye Feng had predicted—

"Ugh! Hu Dafang told me that, I have no idea either. Why don't you ask him!" Unable to continue, Chou Dalong hurriedly evaded the topic and shifted all the blame onto Hu Dafang.
