Chapter 61

Harry struggled to keep the corners of his mouth from twitching, otherwise he might have burst out laughing like a fool—no, Ron is our good friend, we cannot laugh at him.

"It's fine, if they don't want it, they can just give it to us," Ji Meina said with a wave of her hand, "Though, if it's a whole roasted pig, it won't be easy to put it back on the barbecue rack."

A streak of fine light issued from the gourd, standing over three zhang tall, upon which appeared an object seven inches long, possessing eyebrows and eyes. Two beams of white light shot from its eyes, sealing downward to pin Voldemort's mud-pill palace, rendering him instantly unconscious and disoriented.

Like a beast awakened by the evening drum and morning bell, it shattered the gates of the underworld, stepping onto the surface of the earth once more after endless ages, wantonly pillaging and trampling the world with fire.

Jia Cong first sent Chunyan to invite someone, then sat beside the daybed, looking at Skybright's tear-stained yet stubborn face. Stroking her cheek with a gentle smile, he said, "In truth, within my heart, you, Sister Lin, and even the most noble imperial princesses and commanderies of this realm are no different at all."

Those upstarts and high-ranking officials with poor reputations, no matter how wealthy or powerful they might be, could never prevail against the rules established by the entire class, and could only submit.

If the sole purpose was merely to trap him, other methods could have easily been employed, or even banishing him beyond this luminous gate.

This formation was immense, yet its rapid advance produced very little sound—only the soldiers' heavy breaths and footsteps, accompanied by the slight friction of armor. A pitch-black, magnificent winged horse glided effortlessly past the edge of the formation, galloping toward the dozens of winged horse riders stationed by the roadside not far away.

"Descendant of the Green Hills... you jest. I am merely a lonely and wandering ghost; what ability do I possess to reach Mount Fangzhang, let alone retrieve an item from an immortal?" The general's voice carried helplessness. In life he had been a mortal, and even in death he was nothing more than an untamed spirit, restricted to haunting this single city.

Dou Wei was deeply engrossed in his "typing" when suddenly his doorbell rang in a tense and urgent manner.

Having finished his prank, Qin Liang had no desire to continue teasing Shen Ruoxue; after all, ruffling this girl's feathers brought no good rewards. Knowing when to stop while ahead was essential, and since it was all in good fun, everyone sharing a laugh was enough.

She had no wish to become entangled with this Li Feng by even the slightest fraction. To this day, she still remembered the words spoken by Li Yixiao.

Yan An pondered for a moment and decided it was better not to mention this matter. If he were to discover that she was none other than old Madam Song, wouldn't he be frightened out of his wits?

"Old sir, there is no need for thanks. We are martial artists wandering the world, and saving people is our bounden duty," Dao Jian said with a light smile, helping the old man down.

Chen Li felt a sense of humiliation, and ever since she had crossed paths with Yu Xi, nothing seemed to go her way.

Upon seeing his appearance, everyone immediately realized that Guo Hen, who had only managed a brief moment of clarity, was losing his wits once more. Otherwise, who would inflict such a heavy blow upon their own head?

A dense volley of matchlock fire rang out, and the officer leading the charge fell silently, his saber clattering to the ground. Luo Yi's eyes split with fury as he saw the Russian troops prepared, turning their barrels behind the barricades to take aim at the desperate vanguard. Having suffered repeated defeats, the Russian soldiers had grown wiser, placing even greater emphasis on the protection of their firearm barricades and barricaded streets.

They had simply repeated to themselves that they would succeed, and that conviction alone had brought success.

Yet Li Kuangnu was charging fiercely toward Yang Zi, entirely unable to check his momentum, let alone turn back. Everyone watched helplessly as he met Yang Zi's palm-blade head-on.

Yu Xi glared fiercely at You Jue. The moment she answered the phone, her expression instantly transformed into one of meek submissiveness, exceptionally gentle, even her tone becoming remarkably docile.

The one speaking was Ao Yu, and such an outcome was what he desired most. That Ao Hong could emerge from the shadow of his crushing defeat by Luo Chen was the single thing that brought him, as a brother, the greatest joy.

Thus, as Luo Chen's voice fell, the entire tent lapsed into a stunned silence. At that very instant, Luo Chen dragged them all abruptly back to reality, back to the pressing issues currently facing the Ao Long Empire.

"Slow down, slow down, sir, pray listen to me." Seeing that Lü Hanqiang was about to pull another feint, Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly grabbed Lü Hanqiang's sleeve and stopped him with a hearty laugh.

Strength was the ultimate proof. With this display of skill, Song Xiaodong's prestige within the Dragon Gate instantly soared.

The matter was simple in conception: he deliberately wore a hood on alternate days to lower people's vigilance and prevent suspicion regarding his true identity. He had also calculated that the only people coming to purchase items at his stall would be a few close acquaintances, which was why he left a note inside the magical artifact. Whether Yan Long or Mu Fei discovered it, either one would help him complete his plan.

A thick bottleneck wall was something every cultivator encountered during breakthroughs. Depending on different aptitudes, the thickness and hardness of this wall would vary. Although the Pseudo-Lotus Pill could effectively thin the bottleneck wall, its hardness remained fixed, meaning that even after consuming the pill, one still had to wait until the next breakthrough for it to take effect.

Wang Yuchen did not press his advantage, instead pulling back to readjust his rhythm and steady his mind.

"How can this be? Why are the energies of Sun Goku and the others being absorbed in such a short time?!" The Supreme Kai found it hard to believe this reality.
