Chapter 45

"Grandma?" Li Qingyun asked uncertainly, thinking he had just heard Zhao Yun's voice.

This place was the absolute center of the entire Genesis plane, an untouched realm where no one had ever set foot. The spiritual Qi here was pure, the power of laws majestic, and the energy of genesis abundant, completely free from even a trace of worldly contamination.

Expressionless and observing him closely, Lu Jin did not hesitate any longer, directly using spiritual power to volatilize half a bottle of Lianhua fragrance.

To Lin Qing, who had already mastered complete linguistic proficiency, Cantonese was extremely simple, spoken as fluently as the native language he had used for decades.

The visitor was an elderly man dressed in black with a head of silver hair. However, he showed none of the frailness of ordinary old age; his steps were exceptionally light, and his cultivation realm appeared to be quite high.

In a split second, the tips of their two spears collided precisely. Pumping every ounce of strength into the thrusts, each was determined to kill the other.

Tang Ge's mind flashed with the image of that uncle's face from last night, so close it felt right in front of him, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat.

A tea table stood in the center of the hall, a pipa hung on the wall, and a piece of calligraphy by Li Taibai was mounted beside it.

Gu Chong was a natural workaholic who detested anyone trying to shirk their duties or cut corners, making it impossible for him to employ people he disliked.

Inside the grand courtyard, previously filled with a chaotic din, an extraordinary calm now prevailed. Why was it that before a storm arrived, everything always turned so strangely muffled and still?

Ever since the drapery shop opened, Master Jian and Qiuju had both moved in to live there, and Liu Yuanrui's couple had also gone to help out. One helped drive the carriage, while the other assisted with cooking and acted as a messenger between Shiniang, Madam Gan, and Master Jian.

The puppet army under Mu Jincheng was still locked in a fierce, undecided battle with the Deping Independent Regiment commanded by Hu Qingyun. If they were not wiped out right now, when would be the time?

General Carlos obtained the crystal ball as he wished. After a round of interrogation with Jack, which seemingly yielded no useful information, he decided to have him thrown into prison.

The Master stood outside the thatched cottage, slightly hunched, squinting one eye as he looked intently into a cylindrical iron contraption, wondering what on earth was inside the metal tube.

Furthermore, looking as far as the eye could see, the number of tree puppets was at least tens of thousands, perhaps even over a hundred thousand, with more continuously pouring out from behind—they were simply impossible to eliminate.

Xia Bing curled her lips, showing utter disdain for Ya Fei's rhetoric, yet the fighting spirit in the hearts of the guards was still considerably stirred up.

Subsequently, everyone learned about Qiao Lianfang's pregnancy and rushed to congratulate Xu Lingyi and Shiniang, acting as if Shiniang herself were the expectant mother, leaving Shiniang feeling rather amused and perplexed.

Because he had been visiting the Lengzhu Pavilion frequently these past few days, Ouyang Yuxuan subconsciously walked toward Li Wanyun's courtyard the moment he entered the mansion.

Xu Siyu was, after all, only a thirteen-year-old boy, and in a society that advocated "gentlemen keeping away from the kitchen," let alone holding babies.

About a thousand archers on horseback charged in the front, riding hard in hot pursuit while drawing their bows and letting fly arrows like rain. The fleeing Tibetan soldiers cried out miserably as they were struck by arrows and fell from their horses, while the remnants desperately scrambled to escape, trying to reach the safety of the perimeter of Triangle City.

Li Shufang also fixed her shimmering gaze on the young master Zhang, even pricking up her ears, as she was all the more eager to know what on earth was going on.

This method of dismembering, transforming, and dissolving a corpse was damn convenient! In the past, just eviscerating such a huge monster carcass would have taken half a day, let alone harvesting its materials. Using this type of spell for the very first time, Wu Chi could not help but praise it in admiration.

The downside was that for the past three years, they had been doing all this entirely without compensation. Anyway, once one reached the level of ascending immortals, eating or not eating no longer mattered, so this place only provided a place to sleep while caring about absolutely nothing else.

"Never mind how I know. I probably know more people in the jade gambling circle than you have ever laid eyes on. Let me ask you, do you know the function of that card?" At this point, He Changhe's voice already carried a trace of excitement.

Amidst her shock and suspicion, Su Xue dove down another dozen meters, reaching a depth of nearly seventy-five meters. Seeing that Zhang Canc still swam alongside her with effortless ease, she could not help but be even more astonished; this had already exceeded the limits of what that ordinary diving suit could endure.

Because Becky managed to turn the tables and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, the name Eastern Dragon spread across the four corners of the world overnight—a hero in the hearts of the people, immortalized forever.

"Auntie, if you are worried, just keep an eye on Yeying!" With that, Pengfei turned and walked back into the living room.

Wang Lu was now an intelligent zombie, which meant that all previous measures and protocols taken against him based on his human identity no longer had any basis or value in existence.

Yet what they had not expected was that just as they decided to spare those ungrateful fools for the sake of their boss, those people became displeased instead.

Her expression rather grim, she could only manage to hoist him onto her back, steadying herself against the wall as she staggered toward the basement.

Dong Zhuo snorted. "How could you act with such recklessness! You almost led the entire army to destruction! Never do this again in the future. Go get a good rest." With that, Dong Zhuo left the place.

Looking at the oncoming column of water, the mermen stared at each other in blank dismay, and some even wore sneers of mockery.

Gazing at that cave entrance, the high priest suddenly burst into wild laughter that shook his entire body, which immediately dissolved into bitter weeping.

When everyone had taken their seats, the assembly hall grew so quiet that only the crystal chandelier overhead hummed softly.

She spoke softly, and Chi Lun snapped back to his senses, taking a casual sip of coffee without uttering a word.

As one of the high-ranking and powerful elders within the Earthly Gate, Cui Yue naturally knew the numerous secret arts recorded in the Sun Scroll and had witnessed the terrifying might of the Yin and Sun Scrolls used in tandem. Yet the aura of the secret technique displayed by the Xuan Emperor felt quite familiar to him.

To bully her alongside his parents while on his own turf? She would bottle this grievance up for now; venting it at this moment was inappropriate.

Facing Zhao Li, he dropped to his knees on the concrete floor with a heavy thud, bowing his head deeply.

Cang San spotted Xu Qingyun, waved in greeting, walked over to sit down, and poured Xu Qingyun a glass of wine.

Leaning close to Lin Fan, Lu Li instantly raised her head to look at him. What was this guy trying to do? Why would he ask such a topic?

"Weier, since you know so much, why don't you guess where Noble Consort Shen will go after she finds out about this?" Chu Chengzhi smiled and blinked at Xiao Xiwei.

Driving his car, Lin Fan was pondering where he should go to take a look; Shanghai was so vast, and situations like this were hardly uncommon.

Hearing no sound, Liu Ye knew she had succeeded. It seemed that playing the pitiful card and placing herself in a vulnerable position was the easiest way to manipulate a successful outcome.

Therefore, the three general managers had to handle this matter today. They knew better than anyone what awaited them if today's issue was mishandled and the embezzled funds failed to be recovered.
