Chapter 54

Perhaps because the newcomers were all internal members of Blade Edge, their masks bore no symbols indicating their affiliation. Consequently, aside from Jiang Yifan and a few others, the rest had no idea of these people's true bottom line.

She had defeated the Twin-Headed Condor and was now held so gently in Shangguan Yace's arms. At this moment, she was utterly overwhelmed with happiness.

Upon hearing this, Xiangyu grew rather annoyed. Wasn't this precisely an instance of "kissing up only to kick a shin"?

Several high-ranking demons hoisted Lan Batian and Hong Zhong up. Though the two men struggled intently, that spiderweb-like seal was far too bizarre, rendering them completely unable to muster even half their strength. Moving around a bit with difficulty was still possible, but mounting any resistance seemed utterly futile.

Meanwhile, Chen Qiang and Liu Jin had just stepped out for a breath of fresh air and were now walking back inside. The moment they stepped through the door, however, a fierce gale rushed toward them. They immediately halted and cast vigilant gazes at the people inside the room.

Looking over toward the spot where we had just been, several divine officers were darting past. Dad's action just then had saved us.

Upon hearing this, Prince Dian Su gnashed his teeth fiercely, prepared to take the underworld guard's attack head-on before making his escape.

The Second Prince chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Your Second Brother was just reasoning with her, don't worry! Second Brother is here to help you!" Yang Hanlun looked at the Second Prince with a mixture of doubt and belief.

To kill one is a crime, to massacre ten thousand is a hero; to slaughter nine million makes you the hero of heroes! This is absolute truth among truths. Just think—among all the so-called emperors and overlords, whose hands are unstained by the blood of millions?

Night. In a sky as dark as thick ink, a brilliant river of stars stretched across the entire firmament. Tree shadows appeared desolate, the stone lanterns on both sides of the covered walkway cast a dim, yellowish glow, and a biting cold wind swept through the corridor, stretching out two slender, solitary figures.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. One had to know that engaging in foot combat in such an open and level terrain was a disadvantage. Did she actually want to dismount and fight him on foot?

Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He hurriedly pulled the ring off that finger and probed it with his spiritual consciousness. Sure enough, it contained quite a few items—it was indeed a spatial ring.

Duke Moore stroked his few sparse whiskers, a look of surprise crossing his features. Then, he let out a couple of cold, dry chuckles.

As for whether the Southern Frontier was thrown into chaos, he couldn't care less. Chaos would be even better, as it would make it easier for him to fish in troubled waters.

Flowers carved from jade—truly worthy of the name magnolia. Pure, translucent white blossoms covered the entire tree, each petal delicately traced with a hint of bashful pink along its lower edge.

Having recovered somewhat from her fever, she insisted that she was already cured. After taking another dose of medicine, she stood watch for the skeptical Liang Yunshu. Yet Sister Yunshu, even in sleep, wished to slumber right there in the ancestral hall without moving a single step away.

On the evening of the ninth day, Helian Yu was still sitting with Liu Huahua high upon the rooftop, overlooking the entire Sky Mystery City.

From the perspectives of the City Lord and Elder Liu, Liu Huahua applying onion juice was completely hidden, but the Eldest Young Master saw it and was utterly stunned on the spot. What kind of operation was this?

In his eyes, those so-called rumors and gossip were essentially nothing at all.

Following that, the few of them began a long wait. Meanwhile, Kou Taizheng, who was still fast asleep, was left utterly speechless.

His entire body towered over twenty meters high, resembling a giant building. It was snow-white all over, without a single flaw.

[Team] Clear Sky After Rain: Hmph, my older sister has a way to make her quietly disappear. Master, Senior Sister, I only need two more monsters~ Senior Sister, how many do you still need?

"I..." Seeing that Xia Mo was somewhat displeased, Huo Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. But then, giving it a second thought, returning to the Prince's Mansion with her might be a good opportunity. "Fine, I'll go back to the Prince's Mansion with you," Huo Yan said after a brief internal deliberation.

Recalling that Sikong Han had explained Orchid Heart's identity—someone she also knew—Yuyun no longer held the attitude she had when she privately messaged her earlier about wanting to compete fairly. Instead, she grew even more puzzled.

The four great elders unleashed wave after wave of oppressive might. Although Long Fei appeared unscathed, his inner sea of consciousness was churning, and his internal organs felt as though they were being torn apart—it was agonizingly painful, yet his resolve to kill Gu Tongtian remained unwavering.

Given how this was phrased, even if Xie Raoping was well-versed in law, he could not simply admit to it. Otherwise, wouldn't he be acknowledging his own malpractice and engaging in sophistry?

Since Nangong Xiong had put it that way, Bai Shilan found it hard to say anything further. This son of hers went around philandering everywhere, holding merely the title of general manager in the company—which sounded nice, but in reality, he was just running errands for his son Nangong Ling. She could only blame this son of hers for being utterly devoid of ambition, and having swallowed this bitter pill, she chose to say no more.

"Tell me, has Zhang Deshuai lost his mind? Why is he suddenly acting so high-profile today?" Zhang Deyi asked with a puzzled expression, finding the whole matter deeply baffling.

If the Supreme Elder truly wanted to obtain something from him, he would undoubtedly have to ensure his safety.

Though she found it hard to believe that this was Nangong Ling's child, the moment she heard Jing Yuehong's affirmative words, all her hope instantly vanished into thin air.

As we were talking, my phone suddenly rang. I took a look and was startled to see that the call was from Lin Xi. She had never taken the initiative to call me before.
