"Are you going to fight or not? Where did that arrogance you had just now go?" the senior on the stage shouted aggressively.
In the imperial court, Murong Chui delivered a passionate and eloquent speech. Murong Ping, knowing he was in the wrong, remained completely silent. However, to smooth things over, Empress Dowager Juhun immediately rebuked Murong Ping on the spot and pacified Murong Chui, announcing that she would summon him to the palace soon to discuss the conferral of honors and rewards on the meritorious generals.

The hibiscus searched through the black holes one by one. At this moment, he harbored a strong desire to find Xuanming, because he was filled with resentment toward him. He wanted to drag Xuanming out, pick a fight with him, and demand to know why he had framed him and driven him to such a plight.
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Qing was consumed by rage. Seizing his sun and moon double hammers, he leaped down from his horse and charged straight toward Wanyan Guge.

Without even making a move, Mofeng watched as two ink-black chains flew out from his sides, binding the two of them instantly.
By this time, not only had the imperial physician arrived, but the Crown Prince and Crown Princess had also left the guests in the front courtyard and rushed to the bridal chamber.
The flight crew had no idea who Zhao Tinghui was; they had only received orders designating him as "the official from Nanjing," so they treated him with the utmost respect throughout the journey.
Moli showed no reaction. What a master of pretense! If she hadn't seen that this so-called Void Hermit was actually Moli, she probably would have cowered further back than anyone else and would never have played the hero.
"How did you all manage to build such a palace on the seabed overnight?" Wu Xingfeng looked up at the Dragon King's palace, which held back the surrounding seawater. It lacked vulgar ostentation and dazzling gold, yet possessed a refined and understated luxury.

Chihong flew in front of the three of them, waving its gigantic claws and cutting an arc through the air. A massive surge of demonic power swept fiercely from its claws, with a terrifying and awe-inspiring deterrence.
Shortly after, Jianlihu led Zhou Xiaotian, Bai Ruoxue, the Carp Monster, and the Giant Ape Monster as they rode the auspicious clouds toward Linyang Mountain. Arriving shortly after, they stopped at a place known as the Tiger-Shaking Cave.
