Volume 1, Chapter 37: Little Lu Shan Has Had Her Heart Broken!

While on the phone, Wang Li and Dong Jiaying both sent messages asking if Yuan Hua would be returning home for the holidays.

This was because the seven major sects of the Cang Kingdom had previously remained neutral, as they did not advocate for invading other nations. However, now that the Two-Nation Alliance was gaining momentum and believed they could conquer the Cang Kingdom, it had infuriated the seven sects, all of whom declared they would dispatch their disciples and elders to deal with the alliance.

Meanwhile, within the Yize Secret Realm, Chen Fan's aura gradually recovered. The pressure of the Heavenly Dao reappeared, accompanied by an increasingly ethereal presence.

He knew nothing about gu-poisoning. Even though he had spent years studying gu and how to cure it, there were always only two outcomes.

Then, as a heavy chest was hoisted onto the auction stage by several men, the auctioneer's smile became even more radiant than it had been for any of the previous items.

Xiao Jinse had carefully studied the prescription before heading out, intending to take it to Cheng Mo'er so she could have the medicine prepared. To her surprise, she bumped into someone the moment she stepped outside.

Yuan Hua pondered whether he should bring Liu Qian into his company, though unfortunately, he had no idea where she was at the moment.

"I won't give you any leverage; don't even think about setting me up!" Chen Fan sneered to himself. Thinking back to how he had nearly destroyed the entire Lufeng Tower, a chill ran down his spine.

He didn't drive the BMW Z4, as Yuan Hua felt it was better to keep a low profile when dealing with such people. Thus, he still drove his battered van with the broken taillight. Even in that van, it only took him ten minutes to reach Sister Hua's place.

This hundred-percent synchronization... it was as if they knew exactly what the other was thinking. The only difference was that the black flames appeared from Sasuke's left eye and Itachi's right eye.

The tone of this reply was clearly off; it did not fit Sun Zong's personality, which left Si Qi feeling somewhat suspicious.

This type of fire, where water generates wood and wood generates fire, possessed an extremely high degree of malleability; the probability of successfully refining pills using such spirit fire was incredibly high.

Sun City was destined to lose out to the super-families within the three major groups. And even if one of the three groups were willing to give Sun City a chance, they would not be able to hold a dominant position, nor would they be able to meet the requirements for a city exchange.

It was as if, after Ling Xiaoyu left in a fit of anger, he had returned to his room and summoned all his subordinates.

Yes, only the hilt remained. Pikachu, still unsatisfied, jumped back onto Wang Zha's shoulder and gently rubbed against his face. Wang Zha stroked Pikachu in slight astonishment, watching it with a mix of laughter and tears.

Ao Xingfeng was furious, and the consequences were dire. The World Alliance's repeated provocations had already brought Ao Xingfeng to the brink of an outburst, and now their reckless plan to move against Sintia City had crossed his bottom line.

The second part focused on work for the intermediate-level wizards. These tasks were more challenging, requiring a relatively professional knowledge base, such as crafting high-demand potions, handling tricky magical materials, and capturing low-risk magical creatures.

Gu Ya had originally realized his own "intent," which was why his strength surpassed others, and also why he still wished to challenge Si Qi.

He Ma vanished from his spot in an instant, reappearing amidst the robots. One strike, one down... like a game of whack-a-mole, he slaughtered the miner-turned-robots until they were in total disarray.

Regardless, at this sensitive moment, Li Er's multiple identities quickly made him a headline figure.

They had never cared about each other's status; perhaps she had always just regarded Deng Xuan as an ordinary scion of a noble family from near Dragon Head Mountain.

The crowd's jaws dropped wide enough to fit an egg. That guy was simply terrifying—to be able to trade blows with one of the absolute top three youths of the Sea Race without falling behind, and even maintaining absolute initiative?

Gan Ning glanced at the gathered generals and said bitterly, "I've come this time to take away all the battleships and cruisers. Additionally, I've brought twenty destroyers; that should be enough for you to blockade the Yangtze River. I don't want any more slip-ups, or don't blame me for being ruthless." With that, he turned and left the cabin without looking back.

They had intended to see the Eastern God King and the others, but those individuals had already obtained the Primeval God's cultivation techniques and withdrawn from the outer palace of the God's Temple.

In an instant, both Yu Huiying, who had ascended three hundred years ago, and Duan Liuming, the abbot of Tianzhao Temple, were stunned into silence by the glaze-like brilliance and the clinking sounds triggered by the clashing of the five-colored chess pieces.

Of course, to maintain secrecy, the vast majority of personnel were unaware of the mission's details; they simply acted on orders.

Lin Yi swung his immortal sword, scattering the yin-fire, and switched his left hand to a bursting crossbow. He pulled the trigger, and with a series of "hissing" sounds, nine bolts were unleashed.

Xiran whispered something into An Duo's left ear, but she couldn't hear a single word. Yet, in her heart, she seemed to hear the sound of it shattering into pieces and falling to the ground.

Now, was there anyone else who dared to challenge Chou Li alone? Even the upright Master Jingyun, who had just struck out in indignation, had intended to launch a surprise attack while Chou Li's true energy was severely depleted, but after being intercepted by the Golden Ape of the Underworld Sea, his momentum had faded, and he now had no desire to fight again.

Seeing his master lying on the ground with his eyes closed, the White Emperor nudged Ye Zuesheng with its head, emitting soft whimpering sounds from its throat as if trying to wake him up.

However, Yue Yan was destined for tragedy. In a city like Fengji, where environmental protection and energy conservation were held in such high regard, who would dare to go against the tide and open a newsstand? Even printed newspapers were a rare commodity in this city.

After a long while, the necrotic tissue was cleared away, and the blood flowing from the wound ceased to be black, gradually turning a fresh red.

Before the Third Hokage could speak, Mitokado Homura, one of the Hokage's advisors sitting beside him, pointed at Feng Jue and shouted in a rage.

Chu Kuangren stood up, took off his military jacket, hung it on the rack, and sat down wearing only a vest.

After the system's voice faded, a pair of sunglasses and a ten-centimeter-long metal rod appeared in Ning Feng's hand. The rod had a switch and a flashbulb—it was identical to the memory eraser from the movie.
