Xing Jue... had a premonition of this long ago.
When it was truly confirmed after Si Yao's household registration was transferred in, the bone-chilling hatred flashed across her eyes as she looked at the pages belonging to the elderly master and mistress.
Si Yao as a person... was very indifferent.
Not in body, but in temperament.
She never held grudges, never complained...
Fortunately, the Demon Emperor Lord could not leave the Demon Realm; otherwise, Blue Star would not even have a shred of hope for victory.
When Lu Ping returned, it was already past noon, and the two bamboo baskets had long since been sold out. Jiang Ning handed the meat buns she had saved to Lu Ping and ordered a bowl of wontons for him. Once he finished eating, Jiang Ning shared her plan for the afternoon with them.
What shocked Li Junye the most was that he could not sense any internal energy or spiritual power from those soldiers, yet he could perceive a power stronger than that of a Martial Emperor emanating from them.
With such a terrifying charge of the Iron Pagoda heavy cavalry, let alone an enemy force of ten thousand, even thirty thousand would not cause the slightest fear.
He still held a certain degree of affection for Ouyang Qing. He was not a saint detached from worldly affairs; even Confucius, a sage, left behind descendants, and naturally, he could not omit such mortal conventions.
"It seems I got the order reversed today; I should have gone to deal with them first," Li Junye chuckled, then soared into the air right before everyone's eyes.
As soon as Li Junye uttered those words, Tie Muxin's expression changed drastically, and his entire body began to tremble violently.
"Li Junye, you bastard, one day this lady will wipe out both you and the Dao Origin Sect!" Wu Wushuang screamed hysterically.
Having finished speaking, Lin Beiye ignored Ding Chunqiu and instead turned his gaze toward Zhang Guojun, saying to him,
"Captain, this is bad! A huge chunk of ice just suddenly broke off from the ice-sealed Tyrannosaurus Rex!" The moment he answered the call, an anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
After Gu Qing fled, in the extremely distant Hongmeng Continent, a figure wielding a white bone sword slashed continuously, recalling numerous sword auras.
"Invincible Dragon Breath? When did you learn such a trick? Then I must see it for myself!" Luo Jiutian wore a skeptical look as he stood right there, about five meters in front of him.
She did not want a vibrant living creature to die like this in the struggle of mutual slaughter and prey-hunting. She began to call out, summoning those demons who were unwilling to die to gather together and head deep into the mountain range. This patch of forest temporarily became their sanctuary.
Yue Chen was exhausted both physically and mentally, feeling that it was best to stay in the bamboo house at Yunqiao Ravine. Gradually, his motivation to search for spiritual materials also vanished entirely, leaving him only hoping that the sect would soon come to inspect those ten corpses so that he could return the way he came once the matter was settled. Unconsciously, he drifted into a drowsy sleep, letting the beasts roar in fury.
"This place is not safe; you should hurry and heal your injuries!" Turning back to say this to Jinkou, Lin Chen looked at the Sumeru Stone in his hand, took out the other one he had obtained earlier as well, and ignited a flame between his fingertips, tossing both Sumeru stones into the fire.
The two elders nodded and spoke with them for a little longer. Dong Yucai and Wei Qilang stepped off the platform and strolled slowly down the main street. After wandering for a while, Dong Yucai, disregarding her clumsy and heavy body, begged Wei Qilang to take her to watch a dance. Unable to refuse her, Wei Qilang had no choice but to lead her there.
Xiang Yu did not answer, but instead glared fiercely at Wei Qing, who wore a displeased expression. Wei Qing was instantly so terrified that he could not move a muscle, just like a frog locked in the gaze of a snake.
In Qiao Naihe's lovely feline eyes, amber-like flames seemed to flicker, and a terrifying demonic aura surged forth like a tide. With the jade-like precedent of those giant cats self-igniting their demon cores, how could Bai Yutang fail to guess the secret behind Qiao Naihe's skyrocketing demonic power?
