Chapter 56

I struggled to recall my first encounter with Wang Shun, feeling that everything had been completely natural with nothing suspicious about it. Most importantly, when he first contacted me, he had called the very mobile phone that Da Zhou had left behind before his death.

"Such stubborn rivalry is truly astonishing, truly worthy of... Alright, alright! Those two wicked ministers have already been driven off the ship," the captain said with a smile, raising both hands toward Ah Xin.

Liu Yi always claimed that he had raised her with his own hands, but no matter how many years you spent raising me, how could it ever compare to the thousand years I spent raising A Li?

Yet Mang Hu saw an object flying directly above his head. It was the otherworldly tiger bone retrieved from the desolate city! It actually emitted a golden radiance that wrapped around Mang Hu's body. Mang Hu felt a trace of warmth, yet he still sank into a deep slumber.

At the same time, Quan Shengnan noticed that upon hearing the name Zhang Hui, her grandmother's eyebrows stood on end, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

"The strongest among them is a heavenly-tier shark demon..." Realizing that Shao Yan's expression looked ominous, and fearing that Shao Yan would vent his anger on him, the shark demon hastened to tell him about the various monsters residing in this place.

In truth, during his seventh year in the NBA, Li Qiang had spent the majority of his time cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

He cast a glance to his left and right, and the guards lurking in the shadows swarmed forward in a dense mass as he grabbed Feng Xi and fled backward.

He wore a gentle and amiable smile, and Feng Xi vaguely felt that this man looked somewhat familiar, yet she could not recall where she might have seen him.

"Living in this world, a person's life spans merely a few decades. Even if one is blessed with longevity, it amounts to little more than a hundred years. Why must one always be so deadpan and serious? If a person acts all proper and rigid every single day, what meaning is left in living?" Long Sheng remarked.

"Will this not provoke panic?" The old steward followed behind Duanmu Ci, asking with a hint of anxiety.

The strength of City of Compassion was not inferior in the slightest to the Two Imperial Houses. More crucially, as the saying goes, the barefooted are not afraid of those wearing shoes; as an emerging force, City of Compassion displayed an extremely unyielding attitude, executing people without hesitation under such iron-fisted methods! They did not even hold regard for entities of the ancient tiers.

Li Yiyan frowned in a manner almost imperceptible to the eye, yet he remained silent. Ning Yunxiao was certainly not someone easy to deal with; she patted the Third Prince's shoulder and hauled him up to his feet.

At this moment, Ming Hun also snapped back to his senses. With a fierce shout, his hands rapidly shifted through a series of hand seals, and under his bloodshot eyes, a surge of lingering malice billowed forth. A ferocious wave of energy directly pierced through the spatial barrier, blasting violently toward the exposed body of the youth.

Zhang Cheng was startled, silently cursing that things had taken a bad turn. He desperately wanted to change his stance and maneuvers, but how could Dong Bu give him such an opportunity?

Because if they were to go directly to Mount Langxie to unearth the treasure, within half a day it would draw countless people swarming in to fight over it, leaving them with no choice but to take a troublesome and circuitous detour. This would lure away those coveting the treasure while simultaneously sparing them a great deal of trouble during the excavation.

The two did not continue bickering, but instead sprinted simultaneously toward the elevated ground in front of the cave. From afar, they saw that Helian Qian was already standing there. It was unclear what she had laid eyes upon, but that face—which had remained utterly expressionless ever since they first met her—was now filled with sheer astonishment.

Lei Pan'er pouted, clearly displaying her discontent, though she refrained from openly refuting her.

Early that morning, the two of them got up just as day was breaking, intending to inspect the area once more to see if any spot had been overlooked. Just as they finished washing up, a guard came knocking on the door.

Although Ning Yunxiao also believed that the chances of success were not particularly high, if they failed to seize this present opportunity, the possibilities moving forward would become even more daunting.

Since the official drawing of lots had not yet commenced, the contestants who had come forward were temporarily in a state of free movement. Those who were acquainted took the opportunity to exchange greetings and pleasantries with one another.

With a low roar, the demonic sonic waves spread outward. Zhao Yuan's side was thrown into chaos, and countless soldiers were trampled to death.

The very first thing Luo Jia intended to do was naturally to return home to visit his parents. The existence of family could never be measured by money or career; to him, his parents would forever take precedence over everything else.

"Splat!" The blade of the axe sank deep into the wild bear's neck, severing its windpipe and unleashing a massive geyser of blood that splattered all over Ye Bugui from head to toe. Fortunately, such bloodstains would fade away over time; otherwise, Ye Bugui would have had no choice but to force out a few bitter smiles.

Though he was thrown completely off balance by the oppressive killing intent radiating from Yuan Shao, the moment he recalled Gongsun Ming's prior instructions, Wang Hao—despite being terrified out of his wits—summoned his last shred of courage, reached out from his wide sleeves, and hoisted a sealed letter high above his head.

True Immortal Wuchou blurted out the words before suddenly realizing that something was amiss. He reached out to press his side pouch, only to find it completely empty. The secretly purchased magazines inside had vanished without a trace, clearly having fallen into Zhou Lu's hands. His unspeakable, hidden privacy had been thoroughly exposed.

Moreover, when she first answered his phone call in the beginning, she had hung up on him without the slightest hesitation and even blacklisted his number. She had been decisive, ruthless, and completely cold-hearted—a far cry from the silly and naive persona she displayed now, as if they were two completely different people.

The rest of the sect members, upon seeing this, hurriedly executed their movement techniques and closely followed behind, departing from the Profound Iron City, which had already been reduced to ruins.

Especially whenever Fang Jing went to the restroom, Li Zhuang's knocking on the door would invariably ring out at that exact moment.

Qu Xiaoyang felt a pang of heartache over her injuries; recovering her body required vast amounts of energy, which was why she would invariably fall asleep whenever she could no longer resist the exhaustion.

To Si Zhen's utter surprise, the Ao Residence was neither as luxurious nor as heavily guarded as she had imagined, and its total area was not particularly large. To say nothing of comparing it to her own Kong family's Prince Dingnan's Mansion in Guilin, even her own Princess Mansion was far more grandiose than the Ao Residence. Judging purely by its exterior, the Ao Residence bore little resemblance to the estate of a powerhouse who wielded supreme authority.

"The pressure right now is still insufficient. I intend to leverage this water pressure to break through my own limits. I have no miraculous fortuitous encounters, so if I want to break through, I have to risk my life. Jack, don't let me hold this against you in the future!" Fite said with utmost solemnity, leaving Sojers with no choice but to drop the matter.

Many others were posting online to share the process of their parents trying out the Matrix Glasses, even praising the device as "this year's most suitable smart product to gift to mom and dad."

His [Sword Control Technique] was distinct from others, relying solely on the index and middle fingers of his left hand, as if an invisible thread linked his fingers to the sword sheath—a unique swordsmanship method characteristic of the Profound Light Sword Immortal.

Moreover, remaining trapped here would forever be a dead end. Even if one were transformed into a metallic lifeform by utilizing the "Cosmic Cube"—a technological creation of the Temple of Nature—metallic lifeforms were not eternal and still required the Cosmic Cube to supply energy.
