Lin Yi and the other four brightened at once. With Yu He’s silver sword added to theirs, three members of their team now possessed silver swords.
The Demon-Color Sky Kite became even more convinced that Ye Haochuan had lost his temper out of embarrassment. With no time to worry about anything else, it hurried out through the secret passage and flew frantically toward the territory of the Evilfire Golden Phoenix.
Under Lu Yu’s sharp glare, the shop assistant’s heart pounded wildly. He dared not mention the bill again and quickly led the three of them to two adjoining guest rooms near the edge of the second floor.
The only words that could describe the feeling this Strange Gate Otherworld gave her were: every step was fraught with difficulty.
The boy appeared to be thirteen or fourteen. He was exceedingly thin, and a group of humanoid grass demons hid around him.
That bearing looked nothing like someone merely watching over a formation spirit. He seemed, in every respect, a mighty senior expert.
While Wang Chen was waiting for the elevator, its doors opened and an employee stepped out, muttering that the surveillance system was broken. It was indeed broken—but not naturally. Someone had damaged it. Wang Chen was the one who had destroyed it.
The city was packed with people, and killing intent filled the air. It was difficult to find a youngster there who had never killed anyone. For that very reason, the countless shops lining the streets enjoyed astonishingly good business. Refined weapons and pills were especially sought after, with demand far exceeding supply.
The stone exploded. The tremendous force sent Shu Wei stumbling backward until he finally slammed into a large boulder, which brought him to a halt.
A moment ago, the representative of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Sect had been the one left embarrassed. Now it was the representative of the Misty Immortal Sect who could barely sit still. Damn it—this was one of the Misty Immortal Sect’s signature techniques, and someone had actually copied it wholesale. How could they possibly bear such humiliation? It was an utter slap in the face.
“Father.”
Pi Jin covered his cheek, utterly incredulous at having been slapped by his own father for no apparent reason. Ever since he was little, his father, Mo Da, had doted on him. This was the first time he had ever struck him.
Feng Wushuang’s voice grew softer and softer. She suddenly realized that by saying those words, she had effectively told Long Feiyun and Meng Sanxing, the King of Thieves, that she had overheard their conversation. Her face flushed even more deeply, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
“Stop!”
A squad of guards at the entrance immediately blocked her way. “Who goes there?”
From the soldiers’ clothing, it was impossible to tell whether they belonged to the Ten Attendants or Yuan Shao. And at that moment, she could not ask.
“Park Santian, this is Huaxia territory, after all. We should wait until all their people have arrived before making our move. Otherwise, if they decide to fight to the death and attack us directly with missiles, we’ll be in danger,” replied the foreign white man named Bullock.

“I’m telling you, Smiling Tiger, this is where you’re in the wrong. You only told me to go to Africa and complete a mission, but you still haven’t said what the mission is. And whether there’s any pay is important too,” Yingjun said with some dissatisfaction.
Afterward, he went into the kitchen wrapped in a chill, took four bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator, and tossed them to the trembling Wang Bo to bring over.
“No way, honey. Are you really that busy? You’re either working or eating. I came here to spend time with you. No—take some leave. I’ll take you on a picnic.”
Yingjun pulled Meng Hui along in dissatisfaction. To be honest, he was not short of money, and he did not even want Meng Hui to work there anymore. It was dangerous enough, and besides, it left her no time to accompany him.
“Sima Boyu, it’s already this late. Why haven’t we seen the Rong and Di armies arrive beneath Qianyi City?”
They had spent more than half a year making preparations, yet there had still been no sign of the Rong and Di forces. The unexpected delay left Ying Zhao, the Minister of Agriculture, and the others baffled, so he questioned Zhao Boyu.
The King of Thieves, Meng Sanxing, and the Old Drunkard, Lei Dongtian, walked in front. Feng Wushuang followed behind them, while Long Feiyun walked last, head bowed submissively as he carried the chest.
Tie Cheng felt nothing of the sort. He walked at an easy pace, as though admiring the scenery around him, entirely relaxed and carefree.
“According to the surrendered commander of the garrison, Sun Quan and Lü Meng had already left half an hour before the city opened its gates and surrendered. The surrender of Wu County had also been arranged by Sun Quan before his departure. As for the members of the Sun clan, they had left three days ago,” Cao Ren replied.
“Ding! The host has occupied an entire province for the first time and completed a hidden mission. Congratulations, host! You have received one unlimited summon, one divine weapon, and one divine steed.”
Madam Fan walked to the bed, first removing Lai Hu’er’s shoes, then exerting all her strength to strip off his long robe.
“It doesn’t matter, as long as they weren’t dirtied. Brother Tang, if you don’t want them, I’ll eat both.”
Chen Zi’ang had naturally hidden the chicken wings in the Third Space, his own private domain, where no one could find them.
When traveling outside, one did not have the proper facilities. Still, it was possible to obtain a wooden tub and make do with an imitation.
As for the Cossacks, they were not without their uses. For instance, Marin intended to organize them into cavalry regiments specifically to raid the enemy’s supply convoys. Against those second-line civilian porters serving as transport troops, the Cossacks could still bully them with ease.
“Here. Take a few ounces of silver and go home to farm.”
Jingtian took out a few pieces of broken silver and tossed them to the banker. Just as he was about to leave, he heard another voice.
Xuyuan could not bear to see her best friend so utterly alone. Fortunately, she had an older brother she could introduce to her.
That was Chen Nuo.

Because remaining here would accomplish nothing. It would merely be a waste of time.
It was then that Li Yanqing discovered Wang Gui was in mortal danger and rushed to his rescue. Seeing that Wang Gui’s crisis had not yet been resolved, he fired five more throwing knives in succession. Five Western Xia soldiers fell at the same instant. Suddenly freed, Wang Gui roared and hacked down three men with his blade before breaking out of the encirclement.
“Then I shall take my leave as well.”
Ye Lieyang nodded, walked out through the main gate, and shot straight into the sky.
“Yes, I would.”
After Wen Mengqin finished speaking, she immediately hurried into the kitchen. Before long, she brought out the food she had prepared herself.
“The gatekeeper said someone is looking for you. Go and see who it is.”
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, she turned and left, moving with great urgency.
Having said that, the flashy man pretended to hesitate while secretly watching the emotions of the man beside him. The other man merely knitted his brows slightly before sitting there as steady as Mount Tai, which made the flashy man somewhat anxious.
At that moment, the communication crystal ball atop the great tent lit up at just the right time. Its dark-purple radiance indicated that the intelligence came from Qianye’s northern stronghold—the final outpost on the road from Qianye to Dongdu.
When she had left, she had met both the clan chief and the emperor. Over the years, she had remained well aware of the rumors surrounding her family and the world at large.
Gradually, the clamor ahead grew louder, accompanied by the unceasing neighs of horses. When the carriage stopped, Chen Rong had already used a bronze mirror to arrange her hair.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, covering the earth in a vast expanse of white. Clad in white robes, he gazed at everyone with a smile. For a moment, Chen Rong felt as though the most dazzling star in the heavens had descended into the mortal world.
