"Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin are both men of formidable martial prowess, and their side is teeming with talent; this battle will not be easy to fight." Li Shimin felt that caution was necessary, and after speaking, he glanced at his father. Li Yuan sat there without saying a word, it was unclear whether he was listening or lost in his own thoughts.

In reality, for tens of thousands of years, the Grant family had not only failed to regress but had instead continuously expanded their territories across various planes, which spoke volumes.

"In that case, as long as our main force arrives swiftly and strikes before the Tang army can establish a firm foothold, this Li Tang force will surely collapse in an instant. Our army can then take advantage of the momentum to head south and strike directly at Guanzhong!" declared Niluozhou, the Great General of the Right Guard under Murong Fuyun, in a loud voice.

Zhang Ye did not dwell on his emotions; he extracted the spiritual energy from the pangolin beast, buried Ye Wen and Mouse San, and then set off on his journey.

Now that the opportunity had arrived, how could they let it slip? They stood up one by one, each requesting a hundred or two hundred laborers; even the most modest asked for a dozen, while the cloth merchant, followed by those in the timber, liquor, and porcelain industries, requested between five hundred and a thousand.

Chairman Liu hesitated for a moment. He had paid a high price to invite this Daoist Master Daoxin. His cultivation in Daoist arts had reached the Great Completion of the Third Stage, and he was particularly adept at secret techniques of mental control, capable of making people speak the truth imperceptibly.

On the south bank of the Black Sand River, points of firelight flickered. The Tang army camp was dead silent, save for the occasional bitter moans drifting from the infirmary, making it difficult for anyone to find sleep.

"Mengzi, once you've figured out this aircraft, we’ll start doing big things tomorrow," Xiao Peng said, sitting back down to eat his roasted lobster.

"You already mentioned the seven candles yesterday; do you really need me to say it again?" the shopkeeper said unhurriedly.

Zhang Ye nodded. The energy winds looked incredibly calm, but judging by the intensity of the friction they generated, he knew that if someone at his current level—the early stage of Soul Opening—were to collide with them, they would undoubtedly perish without a shred of doubt.

Lu Lingxue bit her lip with her pearly white teeth and said, "Understood, I will find an opportunity to apologize to him."

"He is arrogant, and he has the capital to be so." Yao Jia glanced coldly at Chen Fang, who happened to shudder in his deep sleep at that very moment.

Finally, two of the three remaining parties had revealed part of their true intentions.

The Liu Kingdom was currently in the midst of its greatest crisis in hundreds of years; one careless step could mean the collapse of the dynasty. Yet, Li Zhu was not without options.

I went to sleep at five in the morning, went to the hospital for a check-up at ten, handled some business out of town after lunch, and didn't return until nearly ten at night. I was a bit tired, so I lay down for a while, though I couldn't sleep. I just lay there, resting and organizing the plot.

Entering was easy, but leaving proved difficult. Gao Sen had no idea which route he had taken. Here, just like in the cosmos, there was no concept of up, down, left, or right, and the spatial tunnel through which he had just charged had closed instantly behind him.

On their giant pincers, a circular array for amplifying electrical energy had been carved. Such an array could automatically absorb stray electrical energy from the surroundings to power the host, enabling them to discharge even greater amounts of electricity.

The fortunate thing was that she didn't have to face the embarrassment; the desperate thing was that the other party didn't care at all that she knew the truth.

Standing before him was a semi-transparent figure—a gaunt frame with black hair, wrapped only in a tattered, common robe.

"This request seems..." the big-headed fellow started, then stopped, leaving his words hanging. The request did not seem unreasonable; to others, the Aojia Empire's expedition was an act of naked aggression, and the other party was merely asking for the aggression to stop.

Upon entering the formation bead space, Yun Yu felt a massive headache coming on. Before him appeared countless yin spirits; the lowest cultivation among them was at the early stage of the Spirit Realm, and there were even over a hundred at the peak level.

On the thirtieth day, five thousand God-level extraterrestrial beasts, led by a God-King-level beast, broke through the spatial tunnel and launched an attack on the Scarlet Flame City from all four directions.

However, upon seeing Wang Hou and witnessing his relationship with the Golden Lion, Captain Tiger heart-wrenchingly refused.

This was not a good omen; it meant there was a "mole" in our team, leaking information to them all along.

To make things convenient, Wang Hou had submerged the bottom of the gate of this spatial tunnel fifty meters into the seawater, allowing the water on both sides to flow through.

Yang Jian did not kill the snake. The venomous snake, realizing Yang Jian was not to be trifled with, flicked its tail and vanished into the fallen leaves. As for the snake holding a grudge—let it hold one. Yang Jian was not afraid of retaliation; in the face of absolute strength, everything else was fleeting.

In the traditional sense of Huaxia, whether the demons caused chaos or brought blessings, which one of them hadn't undergone hundreds of years of cultivation? They basically only emerged into the world once they had taken human form.

After Uncle Zhang climbed the tree, the rest of us finally reacted and scrambled to find trees to climb. Ninth Uncle and Lan Xin both had decent agility, so climbing a tree was no problem for them. I had practiced parkour, so climbing a tree was like child's play for me. What worried me most was the Fat One's agility.

"Let's go, we can't help much here anyway," Meng said, glancing at the tornado. If she hadn't pulled Yang Jian out just now, he would have been swept into it.

Because before arriving, Wan'er had written a letter to Mei Wanli explaining her situation and asking him to play along in a ruse with her.
