In the blink of an eye, three days slipped quietly by. It was now September 12.
Adding another clone would double the resources consumed, which meant Li Yu’s investment in Wang Yue would effectively double as well. Naturally, it was not worth it.
Min Jiangchen’s voice was soft and gentle. Listening to her speak was like eating candied fruit—sweet, tender, and mellow. When she smiled, her eyes fluttered lightly, revealing pearly teeth and delicate brows, giving her an even more graceful bearing. Grandmother often said that she wondered what lucky man would one day marry A-Chen. Yet Grandmother had never imagined that A-Chen would remain unmarried all her life.
He believed in it—more than most people did. Whenever anything happened, he would spend half a day poring over the old almanac, always hoping to find some omen there that might help him seek fortune and avoid misfortune.
The landscaping around the area had also been carefully tended. Several orderly rows of cedars and locust trees adorned the place with vigorous life.
Even if it proved useless, he still had to determine its effects. After all, knowing oneself and knowing one’s enemy ensured victory in every battle. Li Chenfeng had already begun to vaguely sense the threat posed by the players.
One dull thud after another rang out as sword energy entered flesh. Godfire Sect’s elite disciples were slaughtered in untold numbers. Some had their heads severed outright; some were pierced through the chest by sword energy; others had their arms or legs cut off.
The moment Liu Qinghuan entered his quarters, he staggered twice and forcibly swallowed back the bloody sweetness rising into his mouth. With a wave of his hand, he swiftly activated the protective formation, but he could hold back no longer and spat out a great mouthful of blood.
A streak of pure, glazed radiance flashed faintly, and Marquis Champion’s figure vanished instantly into the endless darkness.
The cold pool was not very large to begin with. Though its lower reaches covered a greater area than the surface, its total diameter was only four or five hundred meters. To a Heaven-tier expert, such a distance meant nothing, and they soon reached the site of the chaotic battle.
Hu Qiang’s words had produced some effect. Bai Changshui’s behavior had changed considerably, though not entirely for the better. After learning of the retaliatory operation Hu Qiang intended to carry out, he seemed to be acting out of concern for him and began doing everything he could to stop their plan.

It was Xiangxiang. She held a spiked mace, with Jingzhe, Meifang, and Yue’er standing beside her. The barrier that had covered an area of several square kilometers was already shattered and broken. Having dealt with the battle on the ground, everyone from the Plum Garden was searching for the Netherworld King’s whereabouts.
As the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, he should at least have been a Heaven-tier expert. Judging by his appearance, Nie Shao could be certain that he was an absolute Martial Emperor. The leaders of the World Society and the Martial Arts Alliance were merely Heaven-tier experts, yet the Sect Master of the Sword Sect was a Martial Emperor. He truly was extraordinary.
Cultivating the Starfire Vision and kindling the starfire required one’s complete devotion, body and soul. Making the false real and the real false—if one’s mind slipped even for an instant, one would immediately fall into eternal ruin.
That answer was met with a chorus of jeers. Many reporters regarded Chen Luobin with disdain. No one would dare admit to something like a scandal.
“That fellow is injured, and he expended a great deal of internal energy while breaking through the encirclement. If we chase him now, we still have a chance!” Liu Sìbian led the others in pursuit of Gao Shou’s escape route.
Yang Manni nodded. Just then, the door creaked open, and Xia Yu walked in from outside with a lunchbox in her hand. When she saw Chen Luobin, she froze.
“We even said before that if President Li had been able to join the military, he certainly would have achieved even more,” Zhang Zhanhao said with a faint smile.
“Could that fellow still be losing sleep over what happened with the Gong family?” Seeing the obvious dark circles beneath his eyes, Ye Zihan felt somewhat helpless. Then she noticed that even in sleep, Gong Shaoqing’s brows remained furrowed, and she could not help reaching out to smooth them flat.
She actually wanted very much to tame a humanoid magical beast. However, she knew her current strength all too well. Trying to tame a Purple-Gold Berserk Lion—especially a fully grown one—was practically impossible.
Purple Phoenix’s abnormal ability placed its combat strength first among the three Sacred Beasts. Even Chi Yin, the Purple Emperor Qilin, would find it difficult to withstand that move.
Among them, the most powerful divine weapon—the Oceanic Divine Residence—was used to suppress and repair this sea region, which had been severely damaged by the battles between gods and left its laws in disarray.

Compared with setting a tiger against a wolf, the oil and coal of Alek Oil City were Lin Cheng’s true objective. That was also why he had handed over the snake tail.
He accepted the memorial and casually flipped through it. The pages were densely filled with summaries of the revenues and expenditures of each year.
Li Zhiwei glanced at his wife and said with a smile, “A moment ago, you were still saying he was my son. Now you’re already trying to claim him for yourself?”
Moreover, Liu Dingxiang was especially harsh in her everyday dealings. She would not even eat at the same table as the old lady, while Ye Lin always turned a blind eye.
On the other side, Madam Qiao had rarely made herself up so beautifully. She had even applied rouge and powder; she could no longer remember how long it had been since she had last worn makeup.
After saying this, Jiang Yanhai paid no attention to the man who was still holding up his gun with a look of hesitation. He simply turned around, mounted Tao Daniu, and this time began swinging his fists directly.
On this point, Master Lin did not think Master Liu had done anything wrong. After all, he would not have been able to tolerate such a thing himself.
Nevertheless, they still felt a certain fear. This time, after sensing how terrifying the energy resting upon their bodies was, some nearby poisonous creatures that did not know their own limits also began drifting away at that very moment.
Two forest rangers discovered numerous traces of illegal logging and followed them deep into the virgin forests of the Greater Khingan Range. While they were camping for the night, one of the rangers, a man named Dachunzi, went to the stream to fetch water. When he returned, he found that the other ranger was already dead.
