Chapter 32

Of course, the other terms of the maritime treaty remain largely unchanged, and the existing model continues to be applied across other maritime territories.

As this thought crossed her mind, even she found it utterly ridiculous. Who was Ye Shuang? An enemy, for goodness' sake! Who apologizes to an enemy while in the middle of a fight? Even if an apology were due, it should only come after killing the enemy, delivered from the position of a victor.

Ma Xingkong’s fame was not mere bluster; he had earned it through every punch and kick in the martial arts world. Yet, Ye Guyun had subdued him in a single move, leaving him with no ability to resist. This sent a shockwave through everyone present.

I would have to be insane to call for reinforcements. Opening a spacetime rift in front of an eighth-level life form? How is that any different from exposing our base to them?

"If we cannot protect the Secrets of Longevity, we would rather destroy them!" Kou Zhong recalled his mother’s dying words; they still echoed clearly in his ears.

This breakthrough was still manageable, simply because it was only a one-star advancement, and the span was not too great.

These ivory tusks, capable of preserving primordial energy, were naturally highly valued even by the great beings of the primordial era; they were truly rare treasures.

The moment that beautiful figure came into view, this thought surfaced in Su Ze’s mind above all else.

Within a month, under Fang Chen’s forceful tactics, all the sects and gangs throughout the Chaos Star Sea had one after another submitted to his rule.

Li Man nodded to An Ba beside him. An Ba let out a whistle, and half of the hundred wolf cavalry who had arrived that day—fifty riders in total—flowed toward the depths of the grasslands like quicksilver.

Yu Meixi, unable to bear秦明's pathetic state, shook her head helplessly, picked up the soup bowl, served him a portion, and handed it to him.

Thinking of this, Yun Chen grew even more anxious, his focus intensifying involuntarily. Suddenly, a gentle breeze began to gather around him.

Chu Jingtian could only tell his son to put the matter of Qi Hao aside for the time being; it was best not to make any rash moves.

However, having more people to handle duties and maintain order in the marketplace had many advantages. Back when the Hundred Herbs Hall hosted a marketplace, it had been orderly and without a single mishap.

Jiang Anyi sat up straight to listen to Master Yu, and even Yu Qingle was moved by the atmosphere, setting down his cup to listen in silence.

His first words were, "Sorry, I'm late." He then walked into the hall and found a seat for himself.

Qi Hao looked around; the room remained just as it had been—like a royal bedchamber, with its large bed, silken curtains, and red candles.

"Onia!" Following Valenteli’s call, the omnipresent Onia emerged.

There was no reaction from the cubicle. Chuxiu thought Yue Wan had fallen asleep and, unwilling to wake her, felt her way out of bed in the dark to find her embroidered shoes, intending to get up and pour herself a drink of water.

"Young Master Lu, what has come over you?" Hearing Lu Hong’s words, Qingya’s elegant smile slowly became unnatural. After Lu Hong finished his last sentence, she no longer looked at him, instead lowering her eyelids, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Li Mo dismounted at the same time and signaled to the men he had brought; they rode their horses into the city. Yet, upon seeing the person who had arrived, they still bowed from their saddles before departing. Li Mo, however, guided the two carriages Lu Xiang’er had brought to the side and watched the newcomer approach.

The police did not choose to drive to the outside of the factory; they got out of their cars at some distance. Unsure of what might happen and fearing that the kidnapper might be provoked into a violent reaction, the officers were dressed in plain clothes rather than uniforms.

When he received the call from Wang Hongjun, the special train carrying the central leader was approaching Nanhua City East Station. Seeing Wang Hongjun’s number on the caller ID, Qin Feng curled his lips in a cold sneer and quickly answered.

Chen Langya stared at the hospital ceiling and spoke softly. The entire corridor was empty and silent, and his heart seemed to quiet down as well.

Qin Erniu, quick-witted, immediately understood Xia Jiang’s intent. He responded promptly, ready to go out and fetch Zhang Bin.

His voice reached the three armies, ringing through the clouds. Ten thousand soldiers looked up, slightly bewildered, but they vaguely recognized the legendary General Jun Ying. The person they revered most was flying into the sky, his electric eyes bright and piercing, filled with righteous awe, his face set with resolute strength.

In truth, there were other things he could do, such as finding the Qi Demon or the whereabouts of Zhong Ling'er. But he had no idea where to look for them; he could only hope to run into them by chance. If he did, he would naturally intervene, but if not, he would have to let it go.

"Jin Yu has been secretly relocated, and the guards left behind have also been withdrawn. This place is now truly just an office building for a bankrupt garment factory," Director Jiang said.

Once the fourth young master’s skin mask was finished, Long Jiu’er immediately released Zhan Moxi’s head and went to Su Su’s side.

Through his spiritual sense, Li Yang clearly saw the stone chamber within the mountain rocks. It was very simple, containing only a stone bed, and upon that bed sat a withered figure, eyes closed, with no sign of life emanating from them.

This supernatural ability was similar to Lian Haiping’s void space technique, but it seemed different—a god-like power generated by the force of faith. It did not exist within a void space but manifested directly.

Vlad was uncharacteristically surprised—genuinely surprised this time. But upon reflection, he understood. After all, he was an outsider, and his relationship with Kozuki Oden was not particularly close. If he and Sakata had swapped roles, the alliance would likely have been completed by now. But that was not the case.

She had consulted the consciousness of the White Soul Tower. Because of the White family’s bloodline and the power of the stone seal, she was destined to eventually reincarnate into the body of someone who was originally of the White family. However, the White Spirit Emperor should not have known that she had come to this Great Thousand World.

At these words, Mo Fengye’s heart stirred. Indeed, as Wei Xiaoran and Liu Feixue had said, that student from hundreds of years ago was the first genius of Jialing Academy; he would not have been unable to break through the Soul-Dissipating Forest outside and must have entered this underground palace.

Watching this sudden turn of events, Mo Qinyan’s lips curled slightly, waiting quietly for Patriarch Shenghai to calm his emotions before addressing the matter at hand.

Billions of points of light fell, converging into the figure of Lian Haiping. Although he had broken through the encirclement, he had still suffered minor injuries from the three supernatural attacks.

As this phantom appeared, Bai Xianxian’s aura grew wildly, climbing rapidly.

Returning to the village, everyone was still at Old Man Liu’s house, apparently waiting for Wang Xingxin to return after settling in. Seeing them return, the crowd immediately swarmed around them.
