Whole companies of the Shui clan’s soldiers fell under the torrential rain of fire arrows, and shrill screams instantly filled every corner of Nine Dragon Pass.
This statement sounded like a curse, but to Emperor Yuanqing, a man on the brink of death, it was a promise. He stared blankly at the note in his hand for a long time before a faint smile touched the corners of his lips.
The Crown Prince’s logic was simple: if the man truly had powerful backing, they would dig it out and claim the credit; if not, they would treat his words as hot air and crush him, as he was no one of consequence anyway.
"I must be truly insane," White Wolf shook his head. He had not expected a fox in beast form to exert such an attraction over him. Could it be that because he had been a wolf for so long, he had developed a preference for canines?
However, relying solely on the "Treaty of Tordesillas," it would have been impossible for Portugal to expand into Brazil.
The crimson glow of the sunset cascaded down, gilding the entire world in a layer of blood-tinted gold.
"Source attributes! Cultivating multiple attributes simultaneously! You mean to say, not only do you want to find classics on the Azure Wood attribute, but you also seek those of other source attributes?" For the first time, a trace of surprise appeared on Elder Cang’s face, which had always been as calm as an ancient well.
A dispute had arisen between Bai Qi and Qin Qiong, making it unsuitable for Qin Qiong to remain under Bai Qi’s command. Transferring Qin Qiong to Beiping was for the best for both of them.
Much like Xu Shu, it was only through the great fire at Mount Bao that he solidified his standing in the army.
Seeing the head on the tip of the spear, Zhang Bin’s subordinates suffered a collapse in morale. With their commander dead, the army routed—a common occurrence in this era.
Even the most seasoned pilots were left completely helpless in such a situation, yet before Heng Yanlin, it was different.
As he spoke, Qin Junxi took half of the ten thousand yuan and gave it to Luo San.
Qi Ruize looked at the cake with an expression that defied description, a few words spilling from his thin lips.

The items here were not cheap, and hearing Qi Ruize’s words, the shop assistant was naturally overjoyed.
To injure someone from the Chu family on their own turf—if Liu Dong could not provide a reasonable explanation, he would certainly suffer for it today.
The master of this place, seeing these cultivators glaring at him with such intense hostility, was momentarily taken aback.
Finally escaping the stifling and oppressive atmosphere of the arena, Kong Yixian’s despondency did not dissipate. She covered her face and leaned back in the seat, her slowly heaving chest the only indication to Chang Yi that she was not crying.
Princess Yonghe pondered for a moment before agreeing to Lin Ke’s suggestion. Insisting on expressing her gratitude, she removed the jade thumb ring from her finger and pressed it firmly into Lin Ke’s hand.
With that, Tu Xuanzhong ordered his troops to retreat to camp, though he first paced before the formation, pointing at Lao Buzun and the others while shouting, "You arrogant fools, you overestimate yourselves! You dare to ambush my Lotus Island? For the sake of my dear son-in-law, I will spare you today. Wait until tomorrow when all the fools come to die, and I shall see to it that not a single one of you survives."
To say that Leng Jiang was already dead was merely a form of self-deception in Liu Zhi’s mind. Regarding things he could not face, he wished for Leng Jiang to never appear in this world again, not only because of the guilt he could not confront but also because of his fear of death.
According to his original plan, he could easily have devastated Xuzhou before riding away, his reputation cemented by the blood spilled on Xuzhou’s soil.
"Cough, cough, cough. Isn't that a bit too ruthless?" Elder Wang took a sip of tea, his expression conflicted.
"The star-gear from above has a fixed quota. Rather than applying for it, it’s better to spend a bit more money to source it elsewhere. You shouldn't ask about this," Jin Da said, not elaborating further but offering a subtle hint.
The Fire God of War roared, fists raining down in a continuous barrage, the terrifying attacks colliding with the dragon-shaped sword formation, the resulting thunderous booms echoing incessantly.
Just as Li Lide was sitting in a state of unease, the door behind him was kicked open, and the figure of Li Tianxiong appeared in the room.
Xue Zhiyou personally saw Er Ni out of the shop. He looked up at the sky and sighed softly, his brows furrowing visibly. Was there any other turning point for this matter? He wondered if those children and his own servants were still alive.

Ye Xuan nodded in approval; after all, Chongxu Daoist was no longer a chasm in his path, but merely an ant before the heavens. Yet, though Chongxu Daoist was a hundred years old, this display of a pure, childlike heart earned Ye Xuan’s admiration.
Therefore, both out of sentiment and reason, he wanted to follow Pei Wuming into the Fire God Cave to protect him.
Kang Zhixiang, a master of the sword, instantly transformed into a dense web of sword shadows, attacking the two puppets.
Perhaps because he did not want Zhuiyue to have dealings with the Demon Race too early, Zhao Donglai was not very keen on having Zhuiyue accompany him this time.
It knew that these humans all sought to obtain its Qilin blood. For thousands of years, they had always been this way.
In the end, Long Pingfan devised three feasible methods: first, to attempt it again after breaking through to the Innate realm; second, to use his cultivation technique to absorb the icy energy; and third, to use the "Life of Conquest" ring to forcibly draw in the cold.
Lin Yan’s constitution allowed him to condense ten thousand types of power, but ordinary strength was of little use to him.
In this Demon Realm, the only powerhouse capable of manipulating the nether energy of the entire realm was the Demon Lord.
Wei Keqing entered the Matchmaker Temple, then approached a lit room and peeked inside.
Seeing that only he and Huangfu Xiaoyao remained in the room, Huang Ruyao cast a circular formation, sealing off the entire house.
Suddenly, all the blade lights merged into one, an unstoppable force. The jade-clear hand blade shattered the formation composed of twenty-four God-Demon Steles, striking directly at Chen Ting’s heart.
