Chapter 52
Only those two individuals bound to a single destiny failed to secure a ranking, because when faced with the Mandate Emperor bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, their weaknesses were laid bare.
"Why bother sending her back? It is still early, she might as well stay the night," Grandma Di said with a smile as she looked at Song Nuanqing.
If Third Master Teng had not informed them in advance about Mr. Deng's age, Zhao Zimeng truly would not have believed that the elder before him was nearly a hundred years old.
His strength was still inferior to Qin Yuesheng's, and coupled with the injuries he had just sustained in the Heavenly Demonic Heart Realm, fighting the opponent now meant certain death.
"Let's go! Ignoring something suspicious when we know about it is not the style of the Ge family. Didn't we come here precisely to help that aggrieved ghost? I think this direction deviates very little from our original route; let's go take a look so we don't have any lingering doubts." Hearing Ge Wuyou's explanation, the two nodded. Acting according to one's desires was the true mindset a cultivator ought to possess.
"Uh, I, I'll do it." Song Nuanqing had originally intended to wipe Di Haotian's face, but to her surprise, Di Haotian ended up wiping hers instead.
"Oh? You think it's overbearing too? Haha! I've always thought so." They say a single smile can charm a hundred ways, and Ge Wuyou's occasional smiles like this left the straight-laced bachelor Yang Houzu utterly dazed.
Liu Qiqing's series of actions completely baffled the referee on the arena stage, who had originally intended to announce the contestants' names and officially start the match. Stunned by Liu Qiqing's antics, the referee stood frozen and hesitated for a long time without announcing the start of the match.
As for the other match in the afternoon session, Liao Xun ultimately proved no match for Agory's immensely powerful Spirit-Fusion technique. His unstable realm limited the amplification of his Divine Descent spell, making him utterly unable to withstand the combat state of the beast tamer after spirit fusion. Consequently, his journey in this academy grand tournament stopped at the top twelve.
"Hmph, you are not worthy of knowing. What you need to do right now is honestly answer the questions I ask you," the Snow Emperor sneered, her tone ice-cold.
Just moments before, news had arrived that the Master of Rosy Cloud Valley had been defeated by Dao Wuhen, yet in the blink of an eye, the turn had come to him. The City Lord of Qingfeng sighed inwardly.
Left behind, Zhou Chu and Wei Cangsong both watched Li Jiang's departing figure with puzzled expressions. Still, in his panic, he had handed over the Lightning-Averting Golden Sand to them, which was the primary objective of their trip.
As for falling into demonic obsession, it occurs when a person, in the midst of practicing their techniques, is disturbed by external phenomena as visions appear, leading to auditory or visual hallucinations.
As this man shouted at the top of his lungs, the others burst into loud laughter, every bit of it mocking.
Xia Jian casually picked up the newspaper on the table and opened it. The front-page headline was a report about the provincial agricultural delegation visiting Pingyang Town.
Yet how could Ding Zhaokun dare to undo it? Seeing his son become increasingly deranged and mentally unstable, if the seal were lifted now, he feared he would never be able to control him again.
Yet at this moment, Wang Youcai acted as if he had been pumped full of adrenaline. He grabbed Lan Ling's hand and pulled her away right in front of so many people.
To Xia Jian's surprise, Xiao Xiao was holding Sanbao, while his mother, Sun Yujuan, sat nearby keeping them company.
Lü Xuan had thought that once he got outside the window, he would reach the valley, but he was mistaken. When absolute darkness enveloped him, he realized he was inside the belly of the wolf demon.
The crowd was astounded; who was bold enough, and fortunate enough, to snatch the treasure from Hua Yue's hands? Hua Yue was furious, yet she also knew what kind of terrifying strength it took for someone to snatch the bone fragment from her grasp under her very nose. Although she had not been completely on guard, no one in the Divine Emperor realm should have been able to pull that off right before her eyes.
While the five of them were having dinner, Chen Fashu returned to the anti-gang unit and, finding it empty, immediately guessed they must have gone to the cafeteria to eat.
Guo Qing's internal strength was continuously devoured, and his body began to wither at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Bella was actually quite easy to provide for; as long as she had food, shelter, and clothing, she seemed able to accept everything from luxury brands down to street-stall goods.
Liu Tao even knew that Shen Ping had previously planned to spend over ten billion dollars to buy a Hollywood film company, intending to build an entertainment media conglomerate and then interact with the internet industry.
He finally figured out that he would be damned if he ever came back to America again. What kind of nonsense was this? You could wander into some shabby place and suddenly it belonged to someone else, and the law allowed them to shoot you? Lose your life and you had nowhere to seek justice—there was simply no reason or justice to speak of.
"The orders we have received so far are already scheduled through the end of the year, amounting to nearly two million!" There were no commercial secrets between him and Li Xiang, so Feng Xitong hid nothing from him.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Bogan rubbed his face with his hand, cleared his throat with a couple of coughs, and had no idea what to say.
Zhang Tianyi lowered his gaze to look inside the glass teapot. Just as Duan Rushong had said, as soon as the boiling water was poured in, these sparrow-tongue tea leaves stood up orderly, one by one, pointing straight up. The scenery both inside and outside the teacup was simply captivating.
He had actually regarded Cao Xianye as a victim from the very beginning, when in reality, the man clearly knew nothing at all.
Meanwhile, a month ago, a major economic crisis had erupted in Argentina. The one hundred million US dollars previously invested in Argentina to short the market was now taking effect, and this portion of wealth was continuously growing.
He took the memorial, flipped through it casually, and saw densely packed summaries of the fiscal revenue and expenditure details across various years.
