"What? Arson? I'm coming back right now," Zhu Mulao said in astonishment. What shocked him was not that Du Ji would commit arson, but that he had been shot dead.
With just a slight tap of his toes against the ground, Fang Li's figure darted backward like a gale, narrowly dodging the surprise attack.
It wasn't until a long while later that Yulis abruptly stood up, looking at Sylvia with an expression mixed with shock and hesitation, utterly dumbfounded.
"The weakening of external changes has subsided, and they are coming in," the Heaven-Swallowing Devil Jar whispered softly, carrying Ji Huanyu across the void to leave this place. Effortlessly erasing their tracks, it stood outside the celestial soil, watching as one Quasi-Emperor after another forcibly pushed through the weakening thunder light to enter the immortal mansion.
The Silver-Crested Giant Leopard had even less say in the matter. Here, if it dared to offend Ouyang Ming, the Indus Wood would certainly never let it off.
The Crown Princess had been weeping for half a day, her eyes already red, swollen, and devoid of energy. Upon seeing the Imperial Grandson, she silently rose to offer a greeting, lacking even the heart to speak.
On that day, Cui Junying faked her death and left the palace, and the Cui family placed her clothing into an empty coffin for burial, while secretly sending Cui Junying away to be settled elsewhere. Even Madam Cui herself did not know where Cui Junying had ultimately been sent.
The Supremes charging along the Immortal Road came to a halt. The commotion of that battle was simply too vast, impossible to ignore even for those single-mindedly pursuing entry into the Immortal Domain. As the aftermath swept across them with supreme and immense force, they had no choice but to stop first and neutralize the impact.
"How is this? I just finished drawing it! Although it's not very detailed, I feel it has a great vibe. With a bit more effort to refine it carefully and add a background, it will make a wonderful picture!" Zi Ji declared.
Gu Jinan was still just a child after all, ignorant of his own background and having done nothing to wrong the Gu family. It was only natural that he covered for Lady Shen and deceived his grandmother. It was precisely because of his guilt and self-blame that he fell so severely ill.
The Martial Emperor was a true powerhouse; the spiritual energy he could control was far beyond what a peak Nine-Star Martial King could achieve merely through numbers.

Wu Yu wiped away his tears and stood up, speaking softly to Sun Xiaoxi, who was still in a deep sleep, "Xiaoxi, it's doesn't matter. It's just children; once you're cured, we can adopt a few just the same." With that, he left the bedroom and entered the living room.
Today's events had caused a great shock among the upper echelon of Windsor Apartment. Because of this, they specifically sent this new bookmaker to replace the previous one, continuing to deal with Yan Bin and the others.
"Don't bother thinking about it. Since you dared to covet the Earth Spirit Fruit in my possession, you must be extremely confident in your own strength. For me, Young Master Yushan, dealing with two pieces of trash is no big deal, and adding you to the mix is just along for the ride."
"Isn't that Xuan Potian of the Ruling Sect? Everything has already started, why are you only arriving now?" someone asked in a daze.
With a thought, Ye Feng issued an order to the Goblin General: the moment any unexpected situation arose, he was to go to Su Zi's side immediately and protect her.
As the voice faded, Lin Feng and the others immediately saw a transparent shadow standing atop the coffin. Without a doubt, this transparent shadow was Corpsefire—the final boss obstacle for Lin Feng and his companions.
Just as Long Wu was traveling at full speed, he suddenly noticed astonishing magical fluctuations in the void ahead, with two magical treasures emitting dazzling light and occasionally colliding with a loud crash.
"If you ask me, those ugly demon clans are merely being used as cannon fodder by the Ghost Rong King." Tie Xiong looked displeased. Having gained no advantage in his previous battle with Tuoba Hong, his mood naturally could not possibly be good.
Yun Heng and Yun Xiaotian gasped in astonishment almost simultaneously, their faces filled with shock. Clearly, they had not expected this matter to involve such a major figure. The simple four-word phrase "Superior Kingdom" held implications that were crystal clear to aristocratic families like theirs.
In the center of the room stood a long table, styled after a European court aesthetic, which clashed somewhat with the exterior architecture of the building.
A faint ripple undulated in the darkness. Inside the grand hall, surrounded by dim light, a figure sitting upon a stone throne suddenly opened its eyes, a fierce radiance fully displaying supreme majesty.

Thinking that he would soon be able to break free from Himelda's control, the Demon Elder could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
"The Astral Holy Clan would absolutely never offend the Primordial Holy Clan over a trivial matter like this..." Shu Yuan emphasized with a tone of certainty.
"Please stay your steps, Mother; who's to say I won't come right back tomorrow." Niang looked at the garments on Mother Cheng and considered purchasing some winter clothing for her—not requiring them to be particularly stylish, as long as they could ward off the chill.
"Master, Mancang has indeed become much more settled lately, and he has started learning to read. Old habits must be phased out gradually; slowly, he will surely change for the better," Lady Shen persuaded from the side.
How sacred was the title of "Brother-in-law"? It belonged exclusively to the person capable of bringing a sister a lifetime of happiness; how could it be casually handed over to anyone else?
Xiao En stroked his chin, marveling that his second older brother possessed such a tender side as well. Quietly pulling out his phone, he went "Click," taking a photo while calculating how much it could sell for.
According to Amelia, both of her parents were individuals of considerable strength, especially here in the prosperous kingdom, where magicians and high-level swordsmen were uncommon. Amelia's parents being captured was most likely to serve as food for the Demon King.
The guards on the city tower were all handpicked members of Jiao Bie's most trusted inner circle, yet even so, many faces still betrayed hesitation and struggle, though no one acted rashly.
