Chapter 53: Explaining to the Livestream Audience (Cordially Inviting Book Friends from All Walks of Life to Co-create a New World)

Covered entirely in black fur that was thoroughly soaked, Black Thread lay sprawled upon the riverbank, panting heavily, its eyes welling with tears as it gazed up at the "sky".

In this manner, Su Yi not only consolidated his cultivation to the First Realm of Innate, but while continuously searching for herbs, he also discovered several spirit plants possessing quite potent medicinal properties.

"That must be some sort of evil formation! We might as well take this opportunity to disrupt his sacrificial ritual!" Du Meng drew his cyan-jade sword and awaited Liansheng's command.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Zihan's own strength was by no means inferior to that demonic snake; defeating it would merely have required some effort.

Yao Xi wanted to fly into a rage, but try as he might, he could not muster the breath. Out of habit, he wanted to seek out Master Fengtai for consultation, but upon looking around, he found the attendants dwindling. He had not expected that the core members of the Rong Cult would have already departed in their majority. A wave of desolation surged into his heart, and his lonely visage dissolved into the night and the wild flames.

A flash of silver crossed Jiang Zicheng's starlit eyes, and countless piercing sword qi erupted from the pores across his body, mincing the tentacles to a pulp. Bloody severed hands fell like a red rain, and Jiang Zicheng, resembling a speck of silver light, was on the verge of leaping out of the Ghost King's palm.

"Don't speak, just go to sleep properly." Squeezing beneath Su Nuannuan's covers, Duan Chengxu used one arm to pillow her head while tucking the quilt tightly around the back of her neck. His other arm wrapped around her back, gently stroking her, as he guided her ice-cold feet between his own thighs to trap them there. His movements were extremely gentle.

Seeing the sky suddenly blanketed with dense thunderclouds, accompanied by the emergence of an unfathomable and strange energy aura, people in the distance were left utterly shaken by the magnitude of this battle.

"Yeah, yeah." Wang Yunjie burst into loud weeping, as though he were finally finding an emotional release after holding it in for so long.

"Messenger, should we explain to them why the Under-King Knight Mercenary Corps has chosen to secede from us?" asked Toya, the leader of the Blue Flame Mercenary Corps.

"It's fine... It's fine! I can do it myself." Rin replied while blowing on her hand, which she was waving about in the air because of the heat.

This was much like the conundrum of the chicken and the egg; once you take that first step, everything else becomes much easier to handle.

"Who on earth, who dares to act so presumptuously here..." An angry roar echoed amidst the whistling wind, sounding as though it had formed within the gale itself.

Demon smiled at him with a harmless, innocent expression, yet appeared completely unaffected by the vacuum of space. Miraculously, his voice pierced through the vacuum environment and reached Shang Muqin's ears.

As these words rang out, those figures that had previously looked lifeless became even more agitated, crowding frantically toward that cavern opening.

More importantly, it was to ensure that decades down the line, in ten or twenty years, he would live without regret or remorse.

Before Rosa could finish her cry, a pitch-black, giant hand seized her by the throat, cutting off her exclamation and suffocating it deep within her windpipe.

Although this crisis had been averted, the esper casualties were heavy. Looking at the exhausted expressions of the remaining espers, the man who had slain the Fenrir Alpha Wolf began to wonder just how much success this operation could truly hope to achieve.

"Is that alright?" At that moment, Zhi Yuan's gaze made him feel for a fleeting second as though he had traveled back thirty years, looking at his younger brother, who was not even five years old, innocently begging him for a toy.

From out of nowhere, a streak of golden sword qi suddenly tore through the void, piercing straight through the back of the heart of the sole male Immortal King standing beside Hua Feiyue. The instant a miserable scream rang out, the man's immortal infant was shattered to pieces by the sword qi.

Before he had time to dwell on it, he felt a sharp pain in his ears. As it turned out, someone had grabbed him by the ear and hauled him up. His trousers, which had slipped down to his knees, had not yet been pulled back up when his bare buttocks received another vicious kick, sending him stumbling and nearly falling forward, leaving a muddy footprint squarely on his plump, pale backside.

Xia Mengchen quickly scrambled up from He Yue, tossed him a "scumbag" remark, and swiftly strode out of the bedroom.

Logically speaking, after selling off so many pearl oysters, Master Feng should have been overjoyed. Yet at this moment, Master Feng wore a pensive expression; he did not look particularly happy, and seemed rather worried, even anxious.

As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling person. Furthermore, Xia Tian and Wan Chunliu shared a fairly good relationship, and Wan Chunliu was a direct subordinate of Han Zhifu. Taking all these ties into account, Xia Tian naturally had to afford Wan Chunliu some courtesy. Besides, he had no desire to deal with a mountain of troublesome matters on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Liu An refused to believe it, and upon going to the room to check, he found it completely empty—his family had not returned here at all.

"You have zero discipline. Get back inside." Wang Kunshan could naturally detect Xia Fan's dissatisfaction.

The spot where Xia Tian stood happened to be obscured by Wang Zhenjie's body, allowing him to covertly observe the actions of the two internet cafe attendants. The other attendant quietly pressed down on the hand of the one about to fly into a rage, seemingly signaling him not to lose his temper.

This was precisely what Liu Gong thought. With so many people still holding lingering loyalty to the Han Dynasty, it was not necessarily a good thing for him. Only when the Han Dynasty had completely lost its majesty would certain people finally realize that the true force capable of leading them forward was no longer the Han house, but someone else entirely. And Liu Gong clearly intended to be one of those figures.

"Who else could it be besides him?" Chen Junyi could only offer a wry smile whenever the Sage was mentioned. Having an enemy of such caliber was simply terrifying.

Even if it was just about preserving his pride, Liu An could still tell that his brother-in-law's words were sincere and not put on. This only deepened his sense of guilt, making him feel that testing him in such a manner was rather ungracious.

"So, you mean this phone is a hint left for us? But as you can see, this phone cannot connect to the internet nor make calls; what possible use could it have?" Li Shuang asked in puzzlement.

Afterward, Chu He swallowed a mouthful of honey, crossed his legs to regulate his breathing, and practiced a full major heavenly cycle of the Golden Bell Shield's internal cultivation mental method.

Following China's forceful seizure of one-third of the Never-Falling Empire's territory, the massive wars raging across various parts of the globe came to an abrupt halt! This drastic shift in the international situation left all players momentarily struggling to accept the reality.

"Then what? What are you going to do?" Di He turned his head back, fixing his gaze on Bo Yanhhe, his eyes likewise filled with profound confusion.
