Inside the hall, the veteran brothers of the Tiance Manor wept bitterly, while the newly surrendered generals stood by, anxious and uneasy. Guards stood like a forest of blades and spears, watching the crowd closely, fearing that someone might seize the opportunity to cause trouble.
It crouched, its legs bent, almost pressing its belly against the ground, for it was truly too massive to stand tall.
Han Ran was in the heat of battle, and in the darkness, he had no idea of the ambush. By the time he heard the whistle of the arrow, it was already too late to dodge; it struck him squarely in the right chest. With a loud cry, Han Ran fell backward off his horse.
"Agreed, let us all go into seclusion," Bai Hua added. "Focus on cultivation and breaking through. Here, strength is the only law."
Each piece was about half the size of an infant’s fist—translucent, jagged, and radiating a faint purple glow, accompanied by a powerful surge of energy.
"Shut your mouth! Do you think I wouldn't drag us both to our deaths right now?" Xie Muyun suddenly snapped. Tie Muyun fell silent instantly. Though he did not know what had happened, this was the first time he had heard Xie Muyun threaten mutual destruction.
However, at that very moment, Yu Xiao’s expression suddenly soured. He stared at Luo Ping’s position in disbelief, his eyes widened to the size of ox eyes.
The thoughts in the True Immortal Cangqiong’s mind were naturally occupied by rare treasures of heaven and earth, magical artifacts, and the like.
A person’s scope of knowledge is like a circle; the more one learns, the larger the circle grows. Consequently, the boundary of the circle also comes into contact with a larger area of the unknown.
Having heard the Shadow Leopard’s words, Xie Muyun became instantly agitated, laughing boisterously within Tie Muyun’s mind, leaving Tie Muyun utterly bewildered.
Once the news broke, the commoners outside the base cheered. On the very day the announcement was made, the base leadership quickly began arranging for those outside to move inside.
"Not a mortal? Could he be a deity?" Li Ran said, somewhat begrudgingly, as her husband was being praised to the skies.
After everyone had exited the great tent, Ye Yu summoned Da Bao to his side to ask about the developments of the past few years.
The wooden fences surrounding the camp were draped with festive red curtains, beneath which people of all sorts bustled about, busy with their tasks.
When Luo Kaixian looked up, he realized that a great deal of food had been delivered, filling a massive food box a foot and a half high.

The eyes behind the iron mask of his helmet were bloodshot, and his gnashing tone felt as cold as eternal frost.
Though she constantly grumbled about her daily grievances, she knew deep down that if it weren't for Evan, she would never have had the opportunity to touch the wonders of the magical world.
The True Water Giant Ape let out a low growl, watching Mo Ning warily. Beside it, the Silver-Winged Giant Ape flapped its wings, its gaze fixed intently on Mo Ning.
The presence of Master Xuanqing ensured that neither the Linglan Sky City nor the Beiling Sky City dared to easily seize the Xuanqing Sea, making it a shared territory for the powerful figures of both cities.
Su Yanran nodded vigorously. For the sake of her son, she ignored her own husband entirely—a realization that left her feeling somewhat speechless.
Seeing this, Liu Hao no longer worried that the other party would remember what had just happened once he woke up.
Upon entering the city gates, a deafening roar of noise rushed toward them. The Holy Spirit City was incredibly prosperous, bustling with endless traffic and throngs of people. The broad avenues were filled with martial artists.
After all, only the third prince had died; the eldest prince and Master Gu were still there, and he believed they could handle the situation.
If he possessed such capability, did that mean their previous plans had been nothing more than digging their own graves?
Since Xia Rong was the first to step forward, the others had no objections. Zhu Nong and Huang Doudou both took out their phones to prepare the timer.
There, the young man dressed in white leaped down from the lion, whip in hand, and walked directly toward Ruofeng.
The defeat of the rebel soldiers was certain. His own cavalry pursued the fleeing forces, and some riders even dismounted brazenly to collect heads and loot the spoils of war, habitually pocketing both military merits and wealth.
As long as Old Deng was here, the magical world would remain stable. May he live a long and prosperous life, as enduring as the Southern Mountains.
If any faction between the "Guyang Sect" and the "Jianyang Sect" joined forces with the Qifeng Sect to snatch people from the other, he felt they would likely succeed.
Although Zhu Nong could only replay the footage and could not personally taste the beer spiked by Zhu Zhu, that subtle and hidden movement was enough to judge that the "cosmetic" stuck to her fingernail was, in fact, a drug.

"Of course, it was to be used as a test subject! Ha, ha..." Seeing his opponent's rigorous and powerful attacks suddenly descend into chaos, the Withered Bone finally found long-lost satisfaction.
Qiao Neng was stunned and pursed his lips slightly; the texture was indeed rough, and he awkwardly picked up his water glass to take a sip.
The massive meteorite emitted a piercing screech as it rubbed against the air, and the space beneath it showed signs of tearing. Even a powerhouse of the Saint Profound Realm would likely have no choice but to dodge when encountering such a meteorite.
"You are truly persistent in this regard," Nie Wanluo said, her expression fading as she thought of Qin Zixiao, whose real name was Qin Zhixing.
Qi Ming felt Li Bai’s attack, smiled slightly, lifted his sword with his right hand, and smashed it downward.
"Why didn't you say so? I thought you had a Valentine's gift for me. Turns out you didn't—it's a good thing I didn't come." Nie Wanluo feigned ease as she walked away and pulled back the heavy curtains. The streetlights were already flickering on, and S City, shrouded in a fine, misty rain, felt cold from the inside out.
At this moment, an elderly woman hobbled in, carrying some vegetables on her back; it seemed she hadn't sold them all.
Third Brother looked at me with a strange expression. I knew what he was thinking: according to our plan, the first thing Brother Company needed to develop upon arriving in the South China Sea was the car exhaust device.
"Don't come any closer! This is a busy area—if I scream, you'll be finished!" she said while retreating.
"Go to hell!" Chai Zhiling made his move. He could not let him advance any further. Although he had little confidence left, he was currently the only one with the strength to fight.
Tang Tang had not gained weight in the early or middle stages of her pregnancy, so she forgot to remove her wedding ring. As a result, her fingers swelled in the final trimester, and the ring became almost impossible to take off; she had to use plenty of hand cream to force it off.
