Just as Liang Xiao finished off the last opponent, a short cry for help from Lu Anke suddenly came from behind. He hurriedly turned his head to look, and the sight before him made him panic as he rushed toward Lu Anke's direction.
In the blink of an eye, countless shadows of fists surged forward like a meteor shower. The spatial void where Zhang Yue stood was instantly shattered into pieces. Behind him, towering buildings were pulverized into dust, and deep craters mysteriously appeared along the grand avenues.
The old man's expression changed, yet he found himself unable to refute. Seeing the hundreds of fully armed soldiers mounted on tall, spirited horses, his expression grew gloomy. He turned to look at the young man on the arrow tower, as if asking for instruction. The young man shook his head, making the old man's complexion look even more unsightly.
Zhong Qinghua was breaking out in cold sweats, her face turning pale. Ordinarily, anyone else facing this kind of treatment would have been beaten beyond recognition by their own mother, but having witnessed Qi Yu's terrifying strength, she knew that if she made a move, she would undoubtedly be the one to suffer bad luck.
Watching Liang Xiao speak in such a manner, Elder Long merely sat quietly to one side. While his expressions had been exceptionally varied just moments ago, almost no emotion could now be discerned on his face. Wearing a poker face, it was impossible to tell whether he was currently feeling surprised, delighted, or experiencing any other emotion.
"If you wish to stay, then stay. However, a word of warning: this is an assassin's home, so do not go around touching things carelessly. Besides, the rooms in the courtyard are already fully occupied, so you will all have to make do outside," Jiu Jiu said, a chilling smile curving the corner of her lips.
Wait, wait a minute. Liu Zhi was utterly confused by what he heard. "You are speaking so chaotically that I cannot understand a single thing. How about this: tell me the whole sequence of events from beginning to end and describe it clearly. Perhaps I might be able to discern some reasons from it."
"Hmph, go ahead and be smug for now. Let's see if you can still laugh a moment later," Xu Shiyun said, standing with his hands behind his back and offering a cold smile.
The classmates who had been engaged in high-spirited conversation earlier turned their heads in unison to stare at Lu Yu. Ignoring them, Lu Yu walked straight toward the male student who had gone out with him earlier that day and returned alone.
Until he left the private dining room and the door closed behind him, everyone else finally straightened up, exchanged glances, and let out a long breath of relief.
Ye Jiangchuan smiled, paying no mind to these armored cavalrymen. These soldiers were merely a gimmick; their true purpose was to hold him down and stall him.
A matter believed to be of the utmost confidentiality was actually already known to Li Xiu'ning. What did this imply? It meant that right beside the dignified Empress of the Great Sui, informants had already been planted, and what was even more terrifying was that Xiao Wanruo had not even the slightest awareness of it.

Having lost the core technology of the gene seeds because of Michael last time, they could afford to lose nothing more this time around.
Upon hearing about Alessandro's situation, Chunyang immediately set off for the United States, but midway, they were abruptly intercepted. However, the perpetrators were someone Chunyang had never anticipated.
People stepped forward to state their units and professional titles one by one. The lowest among them were at the level of assistant engineers or technicians, and their origins spanned the entire country from north to south, with the nature of their respective organizations varying widely as well.
Looking out, on a slope of about three thousand square meters, a dozen connected prefabricated houses had already been erected.
The old Daoist priest was not surprised by the speed at which Wang Sheng's primordial seed devoured spiritual energy. His original purpose was to investigate Wang Sheng's spiritual energy condition, and by now, the nature of Wang Sheng's spiritual energy was already quite clear.
Furthermore, Sima Taiji had perished, and with his death, the consciousness of all the living beings he had refined returned to them, restoring their divine souls.
The celebratory flower petals carpeting the ground failed to rise up on the wind, and Zhao Tianyu stared in astonishment at the faint purple figure opposite him.
The furnace fire burned fiercely, completely enveloping a wisp of Yuan Jing'er's primordial spirit. She only had time to utter a curse before she was thoroughly engulfed by the blazing fire, leaving not a sound behind.
Moreover, Cang Jianfeng was definitely one of the few people present who had the conditions to pursue Meng Shenyin, while the rest could only dream.
Perhaps, from the moment Lin He brought him to the helm room and showed him that sect rules stele, his meticulous arrangements had already begun to be put into execution.
Yet, in this world, whatever has been walked through leaves a trace. The complete lack of clues over the past few years merely meant that the enemies had not yet made any major moves.
Wu Zibo nodded slightly, saying nothing more. After an uncalled-for silence, he said, "When you return in three years, I will no longer be myself." As Wu Zibo spoke, his brow furrowed lightly, the frown deepening along with his words.

The enchanter Huolin, who had originally appeared unremarkable, was now unable to sustain his shifting magical power due to the massive consumption of his magic.
The chanting emanating from the jade plate grew increasingly grand. Though the volume did not increase by the slightest bit, the sound traveled further and deeper, seeming to burrow into the depths of all objects and thoughts, echoing continuously within them before it would finally cease.
Seeing Xiao Wuhe and Shui Menghan slip away right under his nose, how could the lavishly dressed young man not be furious? He whirled around, intending to pursue them. Yet how could he have anticipated that the flames were not a martial skill released by Xiao Wuhe, but rather a sentient, living crystal of spirit.
Li Tai truly could not fathom it, because Su Cheng's future was boundlessly bright; he didn't even need to do anything further to enjoy boundless glory and wealth for generations to come.
Luo Hongying's teasing remark first left Wu Daidai baffled, but upon careful rumination, her delicate face instantly flushed red.
"This ominous beast is in a weakened state, and its strength is only slightly greater than that of the sixth tier," Meng Yi reminded.
In actual practice, countless senior experts of the Tang Sect whose Purple Demon Eyes had reached the realm of microscopic perception had all fallen short at this very step.
Due to work commitments, Lin Yuzhi and Su Tianhao were not together with Elder Su and the others, and thus did not end up landing in the same place. Although they gathered a group of people based on their real-world identities, they had only barely reached the tendon-tempering stage and failed to even survive the first beast tide.
"Phew..." Yue Ziyun withdrew the spiritual energy she had projected, then slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Treating the two of them had consumed a vast amount of her energy, but fortunately, it was all over now.
