29. The General’s Wife × the Beautiful Concubine’s Younger Brother 7
Yet, those three young men intentionally or inadvertently distanced themselves from Peng Ziling, keeping at least three steps away from her as if even touching her were something terrifying.
Just then, a blue radiance flashed across the uneven ground of the Starry Post. A long-awaited portal of light emerged before everyone's eyes.
Night fell, the moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. Torches were lit around the camp for illumination. Gongye Haomiao and the two from Hell had been assigned to other tents, while Tang Yanran was treated specially, with soldiers setting up a separate tent for her. Ji Xuan naturally stayed in the Yangchen tent.
"The disciples of the Golden Crow Sect are doomed, but those Half-Demons deserve to die as well," a flash of killing intent crossed Lin Yi’s eyes.
"We can begin now." Looking at the sword-wielding Xiao Qian, the expression on Meng Qi’s face remained calm, devoid of joy or sorrow, completely unaffected by the people or events around him.
Hao Tian stepped out of the cave dwelling and looked up to meet the morning glow, feeling his whole body warm and refreshed. As he was born with the Ultimate Yang constitution, he did not rely on sunlight, but he still enjoyed coming out to bask in the sun after his cultivation sessions.
If they had ambushed and surrounded Lin Feng from the start, there might have been a glimmer of hope, but with the opponent’s clearly superior strength and a desperate desire to escape, catching him was difficult.
Enduring a little longer, Tang Zheng’s two fingers were already severely swollen, as thick as an infant’s arm.
Tang Zheng blinked, wanting to sneak a peek into Su Rong’s bedroom, but he was discovered, grabbed, and subjected to a flurry of soft punches.
As soon as Zhang Nan’s voice faded, he began to chant a mantra. The yellow, green, and white colors on the jade pendant at his fingertips seemed to come alive, flowing around the flower-shaped charm.
This was fundamentally a clash between armies of different eras; the defeat of the Rooney army was almost inevitable.
Behind the Dark Night Knights, the "leaders" stared ahead with grave expressions. They were just as curious as Tang Hao: which of the three tribes among the beast army was this?
"Lili, let's go. Where is Brother Heng now?" Lu Qiushi pulled Cheng Lili’s arm and left, having no mood for small talk. He did not want to become a tool in the hands of cultivators; these people were of no help to him and did not stop plotting against him.
He could do nothing against the Fallen Heaven Demon Lord, and indeed dared not even question him, but it was different for a prisoner.
You attack me once, and I strike back just as hard; Howard and Griffin put on a fine show for fans worldwide—a clash of beasts.
However, two days ago, a terrifying incident occurred that shocked the local residents. It began simply enough: a few children aged eleven or twelve agreed to explore an air-raid shelter in the morning.
"Tell me, High Priest, why not teach me some Dragon Clan secret arts to make me stronger, and perhaps reveal the weaknesses of the Holy Great Dragon while you’re at it?" Tang Hao said with a smile.
"How could I be angry with you? I was just saddened to think that you have been by my side all these years without me knowing. But what’s past is past." Feng Li shook his head and led her as they flew toward Sky Demon Peak.
Just as Shi Wan was lost in his wild fantasies, a voice interrupted his pleasant vision.
"That is how it is. Here, this is the invitation. Whether you go or not is up to you. Both I and Uncle Zhang respect your decision." Yang Yi took a bronze token, engraved with the character "Heaven" on one side and "Martial" on the other, from Zhang Ding and handed it to Qin Guo.
However, it did not do much to raise the temperature of the Spirit Source Fire, so over time, Luo Sen discarded it.
I was speechless. I wondered if my honeymoon trip to the Maldives would result in indigestion due to their overly intense stares. Finally, I sat securely on the plane, leaning against the window and staring blankly at the scenery outside.
Jian Mofan, who was in the middle of a morning meeting at the company, felt the vibration in his pocket. He silently took out his phone and saw the name Yan Mumu displayed on the screen; his heart skipped a beat.
"No... you must obey our orders!" Luo Shui said. In her few years on the force, she had never seen someone so arrogant.
Lawyer Zhang kept waving his hands. Brother Li said, "Sister Chen, wait a moment. I will have Brother Liu’s lawyer friend explain it to you." With that, he handed the phone to Lawyer Zhang.
Meanwhile, Liu Che ordered the reinforcement of defenses in Dai Commandery and Yanmen, not only to strengthen the lines but also to keep a close watch on any suspicious movements by the Xiongnu.
Holding my phone, I didn't know what expression to make, so I lowered my head to continue eating, trying to hide my bewildered joy. Xiao He walked slowly from the restroom back to the table and sat down, looking at me with a strange expression as I ate frantically.
"You will feel glad and proud of your choice today," Qin Han said to the remaining crowd.
There was about an hour left until noon. Xuan Potian’s team of cultivators gathered together.
As expected, five minutes later, Wu Yong saw a short, brawny, and fleshy man. Wu Yong was somewhat surprised by his ruddy complexion and plump, fair appearance; it seemed he was truly a man of fortune. If he really were the reincarnation of the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, then the Arhat certainly enjoyed the full extent of worldly prosperity.
"It seems these crew members are merely ordinary people," Xuan Potian thought to himself as he watched them.
The police officers looked at one another, speechless. Everyone had rushed over to the scene in a hurry; besides their weapons, who had brought anything else?
Seeing she could not break free, Fang Ping gritted her teeth and swung her foot, aiming a vicious kick at Tang Fei’s vitals. A deep green radiance surged on her sole, layered with a faint, pale cyan light.
Without any resistance, the black shadow flew backward and fell heavily to the ground, landing right in front of Liu Yuansheng.
"Of course, otherwise they wouldn't have locked me in here," Wu Yong mimicked her tone.
After beheading the five Sovereign-level vampires, he turned back to look for Gaia, but she had already fled.
After speaking, the Ghost Demon opened his mouth and spat a blue orb of light into his hand, then squeezed it hard. With a bang, the blue orb exploded.
The following evening, the relentless stream of refugees finally reached Luoyang. Ships were already prepared there, and the group traveled south by water, reaching Jiangdu in just a single day.
