Zhou Chuyu snorted coldly. “Even if you stay here for a hundred years, you are still a citizen of Zhou Chu. If you dare betray Zhou Chu, I will never forgive you.”
Su Hao slowly opened his eyes and saw a delicate rosy face less than a foot away from him.
But he showed no reaction at all and simply walked straight toward Su Qingyu.
The tension was inevitable because Ye Xuan’s songwriting was not genuine creation; it was merely based on his memory and knowledge of songs from his previous life on Earth, brought into this parallel world. For Ye Xuan, it was still quite effortless.
In fact, Xixi was not playing a mobile game; she was texting her father.
The staircase descended continuously for over a thousand steps until faint light finally appeared ahead. This was a very peculiar space. The sky above was a gray haze, and at the center of this space was a pitch-black vortex about three meters wide, very similar to the passage to the Yunlan Realm that Su Hao had seen before.
“How dare you set up a blockade at the border fortress? Don’t you know that indulgence in trivial pursuits leads to ruin?” He knew this was pointless; this place was not the Northern Star Kingdom.
This was a prison cell of less than ten square meters, with its own bathroom, yet it could not avoid the stench because water was rationed. The dim electric light was the only source of illumination inside, and the faint moonlight outside the iron bars, which did not even allow a head to extend, could not penetrate the cell.
A warmth stirred in Ning Wanwei’s chest. Just these few words were enough to dissipate her resentment, and a smile lifted the corners of her mouth.
As he muttered to himself, a slender beam of light suddenly rose from the northwest corner of the Southern Continent, cutting across the sky and becoming the only light in the vast world.
The middle-aged man’s face darkened as he recognized the direction of the commotion. He turned to leave, but Zhao Chanyuan kicked off the ground, leaping into the air to block his path.
Qiao Luoyu was utterly stunned. If Lu Yinzong hadn’t been captured, Ruan Xizhi wouldn’t have met Lu Yinzong in the first place.
A spiritual technique instantly took form, and judging by its complexity, it was even more advanced than the one he had just crafted.
The two of them joined forces along with the Blood Killing Emperor, the Mysterious Nether Emperor, and the Mo Luo Emperor—three demonic founders of the demonic path. They exhausted all means and all their reserves, risking severe injury, just to completely destroy that clone.

However, the company had just been established and was still exploring external sales markets, so there was no rush.
Upon hearing this, Ren Beibei seemed deeply moved and simply sobbed without uttering a word.
Although Taishici let only two units of troops attack, their numbers still exceeded those of Mika. Multiple charges and volleys left Mika Zhen’s forces reduced to just over two thousand Xianbei soldiers, who happened to face Yu Jin, a veteran of Central Plains battlefields.
Of course, no one could hear the old man’s murmurs. After speaking, he continued sitting there as if entering a deep meditation.
Usually restrained in the underground Xuan Palace, this time they fought fiercely... even resulting in deaths. The worst was Wang Xiyue’s clan, which was wiped out, and they were hunted down.
“Phew! It’s good that nothing happened!” Upon hearing Su Mubai’s words, the crowd finally relaxed and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Therefore, Edward directly ordered the Palace Intelligence Department to supervise and strictly prevent the judges from abusing their power.
Zhang Yuan found it unbelievable and then sighed inwardly: which backward, impoverished planet doesn’t even have oolong tea?
Tie Xiang initially intended to eavesdrop at the door but thought Liu Yan would surely notice, so it was inappropriate. He returned to the banquet, only to find it unusually quiet with no one dancing or laughing.
The night sky was no longer just night but a golden starry sea. Among countless stars, a colossal World Tree towered into the heavens, its crown supporting a vast temple. Inside the temple sat a golden throne where a golden-haired youth rested his hands on the armrests, drifting into a light slumber.
“Hey! I’m talking to you, why aren’t you answering? Such rudeness...” Su Mubai suddenly appeared before the wind-attribute man, elbowing fiercely and slashing a short sword across his neck with a reversed grip—his actions completely contradicting his words, leaving the fox and bearded man behind him speechless.
Cang Qingyun had never cared about the founding of this cultivation method, so it was not widely known. Unlike the Heavenly Dome Technique, which spread widely and was even once praised by the cultivation world as a demonic skill.
After England invaded Dublin, Ireland, they drove out the local residents and nobility, occupying most of the land. Except for some grants to soldiers and nobles who went on expedition, the rest belonged to the royal family.
“Your Highness, King of Original Sin, what is this?” Corazon also did not understand what Naruto and the others were saying and was shocked—could it be that the other party did not need the Surgical Fruit to gain immortality?

It seemed that after the plan was over, he would have to borrow this item from Princess Emerald for study.
Thus, except for Xiang Dongliu and Du Ziyuan of the Heikui Sect, the so-called Golden Generation of newcomers met for the first time at the Grand Academy.
“Well... how to put it? Apart from other complicated reasons, I simply came here out of boredom to stir things up.” Lin Xuan pondered and said, as if striking a chord directly through the casino owner’s heart.
“Thank you, Senior, for your rescue. I only want to know how to leave the Ten Thousand Demons Cave.” Tian Xuanzi was cautious but maintained a respectful attitude while questioning the elder.
Therefore, Li Ling never intended to play any inside-outside coordination. He planned the second approach: use bait to lure the guards away, then launch a surprise attack with elite troops.
Prime Minister Lanley handled things energetically, even hoping his arena would produce a champion princess. Of course, bribery was inevitable; which of the four arenas didn’t accept bribes? But as for hidden rules, Lanley truly did not have any. Once the accusation was directed at him, did it really matter whether it was true?
With icy skin and jade-like bones, it was no wonder it was named so—indeed, jade for bones and frost for skin. Such a beautiful sword; one wonders how it feels to wield it.
For more than a decade, the four had stayed atop Purple Mountain without touring the North Dipper Star Domain, so Huo Rong softly remarked.
If they truly brought out ten thousand troops, it would be like draining the Bolton family’s entire reserves. Without soldiers guarding the castle, they would not hold.
Everyone in the square suddenly felt a refreshing celestial breeze sweep over them. At the same time, the sky resounded with various musical instruments, weaving a beautiful melody as if welcoming a distinguished guest.
