Then Li Jiang saw an enormous head thrust out from within. What horrified him was that this undead creature from the Death Realm, standing ten zhang tall, looked exactly like a human of this world.
Yet Lu Yan had never once made use of those connections. Now, because of Li Xiaoru’s affair, he had thought of those people. It seemed he would have to make an exception this time.
The Feather Guards stationed before the gate had formerly served as agents of the Life-Seeking Bureau, so they had naturally seen Qi Huan’s portrait. After answering, they opened the door at once and went in to announce his arrival.
“The blueprint in Hongmen’s hands may be the only one of its kind for now, but that may not remain true forever. So my asking price isn’t high. If I obtain it, fortune favors me; if I lose it, then fate has decided otherwise. I’ll leave everything to chance!” Old Ninth glanced at the people approaching and spoke with complete nonchalance.
I followed the wall and looked around, but found nothing. Fortunately, Aunt Qingyu was unharmed and sleeping peacefully.
If anyone disturbed him, he would leave this place at once. But today he had promised to take Chen Xue out. If he did not go now, he had no idea when he would next have the chance to pass through this door.
The vehicle crawled along, stopping and starting in silence. Most of the passengers had their heads bowed over their phones, fingers leaping across the keyboards, now giving a quiet laugh, now wearing a solemn expression. They said that ever since WeChat had appeared, people no longer needed to speak even when face-to-face; sending a message was enough.
I stood helplessly beside the river on the outskirts of the city, picking up stones and tossing them into the water. I had searched for days, but had not seen my husband anywhere. Transportation was so advanced now, and it had already been two years—he surely would have left this place long ago.
Yue Wuya answered only with laughter. Then the laughter ceased, replaced by the sudden arrival of a dragon’s shadow and the figure of a man advancing with a sword.
When they had been on Mount Kunlun’s Weiyang Peak, Hun Dun had personally witnessed Chen Zhifan’s terrifying battle prowess after he had fallen into demonic possession. Yet judging from the situation now, Chen Zhifan did not seem possessed at all. Rather, he appeared to be consumed by tremendous rage.
“Then does that mean he was the true Yin Emperor?” Chen Feng still found it difficult to believe. The mysterious and unfathomable Yin Emperor had actually died beneath the combined assault of so many people?

“A wager is a wager, and I accept my loss. But none of this can crush me. I’ll be back!” San Jian walked up to the transparent barrier and spoke to Zhang Yifan on the other side.
Chen Zihua sent the corner into the penalty area. Liang Xiran reached it first and headed the ball back outside the box. Abate collected it and passed to Zhang Shujie on the right side of the area. The instant Zhang Shujie received the ball, Kompany closed him down, while Liang Xiran moved alongside to provide cover.
Because they had wasted too much time on the bottom lane earlier, there was very little time left for this round of offense—only enough to destroy one laser tower.
The baleful energy that Chen Zhifan had exhausted every means to absorb, yet could never draw in, was sucked into the ring like a colossal whale drinking seawater. The ring, once the color of silver, now shone with several brilliant hues.
The second day of the match was Sunday. Zhang Shujie went nowhere, choosing to stay home and properly nurse his injured foot. After a night’s rest, he felt much better than he had the day before.
Perhaps the experts had reacted too quickly, leading Meng Fanhai and Bando Tatsuo to believe they were about to attack. Both sides immediately stopped fighting and charged together toward the experts from Rofi Corporation.
On the field, Montolivo and Antonelli brought Carvajal down while contesting the ball. Antonelli’s challenge had been somewhat reckless, and the referee showed him a yellow card without hesitation. Real Madrid were awarded a free kick in an excellent position near the front of the field.
Before long, they reached the outskirts of Huaiyuan City. Looking up at the stretches of dilapidated walls and recalling the events of the past, they could not help being overwhelmed by a mixture of emotions.
Su Zhengyang took Sang Qiu’s hand and gave it a gentle wave. Then he turned his back to her and took a garment to change into.
A week later, Ma Yong and the others went to the school and collected their diplomas from Principal Li. They all knew that from that moment on, they would have nothing more to do with the school.
Li Ke stood there in dejection, utterly lost, as though he had forgotten that he was still on a battlefield and was completely unaware of the danger behind him.

Gu Xiao persisted for a month, but when he saw that Qiao Chu showed no reaction and continued spending every day clinging to Lu Bai, he finally abandoned the money-burning plan.
“Brother Yong, let me put it plainly. I’ve taken a liking to the lot of you, and I want to go into business with you. So, what do you say?”
After Ma Yong and the others listened to Sun Dong explain the strength of the Bai family in the provincial capital, they stood stunned for quite some time, unable to react.
As it turned out, at the very instant Kexin saw Ji Wu about to fire, she sprang forward, kicked the barrel pointing at Ma Yong aside, and brought a machete down on Ji Wu’s arm. Stung by the pain, Ji Wu let go of the shotgun, and Kexin seized it immediately.
Mo Yishen swept the room with his phoenix eyes but saw no sign of Qin Tianyue. His swordlike brows drew together almost imperceptibly.
Herlian Tao was now a highly sought-after figure in the capital. Many people who understood—or thought they understood—the situation wanted to form a marriage alliance with him. Those who could not make sense of the situation or judge his true standing, however, remained completely still.
Fortunately, Fang Mu had a keen eye and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Fang Tianhao. Before Fang Tianhao’s palm could reach his face, at the critical instant—when only a few centimeters remained between the blow and his cheek—Fang Mu raised his hand in time and blocked the heavy slap.
