The two of them wandered aimlessly through the streets until around ten at night. In truth, that was when the city’s nightlife reached its peak, but how could Li Quan possibly take her bar-hopping? She was like an angel newly descended from heaven, so pure that even darkness and clamor seemed to recoil from her.

Shadow Poison whispered something into his ear. After hearing it, a trace of surprise appeared in Thunderfire’s eyes. “Really?” he exclaimed, casting a deep look at Chen Xijun.

Far above them, the exit of the white corridor that had been there moments earlier began spewing streams of white mist, which surged upward toward the higher reaches of the sinkhole.

“Didn’t Mr. Tang Tian just say it would be around seven o’clock?” Yukiko asked softly, looking at the newcomer with a hint of confusion.

Although Wukong focused on pursuing and relentlessly attacking the Lion Camel King, in the space of a few flashes, he also exchanged blows with Asura several times. After only a few moves, he was secretly astonished.

At the sound of the voice, the Night Emperor was badly startled. He raised his head and swept his gaze around, but all he saw were his own subordinates.

“He only lets me eat dishes with chicken in them,” said a plump mummy shaped like a ball. Mori could not help wanting to laugh. This pharaoh must have been extremely wealthy while alive.

It could be said that space-jump technology was the true limiting factor in a species’ interstellar expansion. Its practical value was impossible to overstate. If space jumps could be combined with artificial wormholes, the result would be nothing short of revolutionary.

“I already told you. Whether you believe me is up to you. Besides, I swallowed all the salt—can you make me spit it back out?” Thunder Sword said as he entered the house.

The troops at the front carried torches to guide the way, while the forces behind followed close after them. Every time a soldier lifted his foot, it came down into a pool of mud. The strain this placed on the army’s stamina was immense.

“Xiao Yu, I would rather become a ghost’s wife than agree to be your slave!” I threw down the threat, seized Yuhua by the arm, and stormed out through the gate.

Xiao Lang gradually realized that something was wrong with her. At times, when he called her name, her reactions had become sluggish. More often than not, several seconds passed before she responded.

“You just got off the plane. Have you taken care of everything over there?” Gu Hanqing asked softly, setting down her wineglass.

After some discussion, Wu Liang began to put his plan into action. This time, he gave A Fan fifty men to serve as the vanguard while he followed behind. A Fan knew this was his chance to prove himself and naturally agreed with a smile. As night gradually descended, he led a force racing toward Asang’s territory.

Several men in black suddenly burst from the shadows and seized him. Then, together with Cai Jilun, they escorted him to the Nationalist Military Affairs Bureau’s station in Yichang.

Ye Mo was terrified. Unable to move, he could only watch helplessly as gray currents of air, like an ocean, surged toward him and engulfed him.

The moment he finished speaking, he also lunged toward Logwa. The twin-hooked sickle spear in his grasp swung toward Logwa. Before the weapons even met, they sent black energy roiling through the air, brimming with murderous intent.

Xiao Lang was still away at war. To stabilize the army’s morale, Xiao Ling certainly would not dare lay a hand on Tang Yun and her child.

Ning Xu stared at Su Meng’s abdomen for a long while. Then he shifted himself until he was level with her, placing one hand on her stomach while drawing her into his embrace with the other.

After sensing the changes brought about by the evolution of the wings on their backs, Jing Tang and Hu Mei finally decided to leave the secret chamber.

Su Meng had originally planned to establish a branch in Luhai City, but some ill-intentioned people had come looking for trouble. Fortunately, Zhu Qian had helped her avoid disaster. In the end, however, the branch never came to fruition.

When she had been at her lowest, Xu Fang had given her a way to survive. Then he had given her a path to prosperity, and finally, a path to rise again.

Of course, the awakening of the Five-Vein Dragon Aura was an event so momentous that it was rarely seen in ten thousand years. Even they could not hold themselves back and had a whole bellyful of things to say.

But things were different now. Jing Tang, who belonged to the same Five Elements Sect, was currently in the Heaven Gate, and his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. With Jing Tang there, everyone felt as though they had gained a pillar to lean on, and no longer had to worry about anything else.

Jing Tang drew his hand back, and the Black Gold Moon was already returned to the Seven-Kill Ring. But just as Gu Qinghe thought Jing Tang was about to spare him, he suddenly felt a searing pain erupt inside his body.

“My original plan was to sabotage the game, but now that Autumn Wind Sorrow has appeared, the plan needs to change. The four files must all be sent out. He only has one of them; the other three must be obtained and handed over to him.” No one said a word.

“Underworld King, is this Blood Fiend Blade really that powerful?” Void Concealment asked curiously from the side, seeing how much Bone Odd cared about the long saber.

“Why do you keep following me everywhere?” Su Meng looked at Ning Xu with disdain. Sometimes, she truly felt that Ning Xu and Joyce were exactly alike.

News of your secret marriage to two Allied Kings spread with astonishing speed among soldiers and bandits alike. Riding a black horse, you passed through streets lined with guards and gang members bowing to you. The prevailing social atmosphere was poor, and entertainment gossip ran rampant.

Yet he had no idea that by the time he led his remnants into flight toward the Kingdom of Champa, the capital of Champa had already been completely encircled by the army of Le Loi.
