Chapter 145: Probing by Peers, Forcing A-Ping into Selling Smiles?

“No…” Zhu Biao was at a loss for how to respond to You Jingyan’s words. He had never imagined burdening his young brothers with all this; the merciful are often even softer-hearted toward their kin.

Though many had perished in the flames, some cultivators had slipped through the cracks, vanishing into the deep cavern. No one knew what lay within, how deep the cave was, or where the Yin-Yang Tianxin was hidden.

Lu Jiansheng laughed bitterly with rage. Suddenly, his blood sword shot forth, transforming into a residual shadow that surged fiercely toward Zhang Yuanhao.

“A whole week? Are you saying the entire Chinese network will be paralyzed for an entire week? Do you realize the magnitude of the damage this will cause? I cannot bear the consequences, and neither can anyone in your entire seat combined!” The middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses nearly roared hysterically.

This was unstoppable. The tall figure was directly repelled, falling to the ground and retreating back into an ice orb.

They were already familiar with and adapted to such tactics, so the moment they encountered these native sea tribes, the situation favored the many against the few.

Dressed in white, graceful and poised, his tall and unrestrained figure suddenly seemed somewhat desolate and forlorn.

His gaunt frame was like dry wood, standing idly without any terrifying aura, yet everyone felt an indescribable oppression.

Deep, resonant sounds trembled the heart as Wu Hao’s fists swung, repelling all six incoming strikes with sheer force. His overwhelming strength and arrogant dominance filled onlookers with a suffocating mix of shock and fury.

He had once witnessed the peak of a divine general’s might—an ancient god who had lived through an era. Yet before this Gonggong, there seemed to be an abyssal gulf separating them.

Coffee and Feng Ming’s already greasy hair tangled together, defying description; that feeling was simply indescribable.

Yu You glanced twice at the disheveled man lying on the ground—she remembered that dazzling red hair distinctly.

Yet Gongsun Zhao was the magistrate of Xiangping County, holding the authority to appoint and dismiss grassroots troops. What could a young man like Gongsun Kang do? He feigned illness to refuse conscription. A joke—any clear-eyed person could see this was no recruitment but a deliberate humiliation of the Gongsun lineage.

Usually, it wasn’t much, but when someone was hospitalized, it felt like there wasn’t enough staff for care.

The robot spoke in the official alien language of the Yilie star system, but Lu Tianhuan’s system automatically translated it, allowing him to understand. Every member of his fleet carried a translator, so they understood the robot’s words as well.

He always felt that Jiang Yunqing’s words were missing something, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn’t quite say what.

“Oh, the Prime Minister’s invitation letter will arrive shortly; I just happened to know about it in advance!” Princess Qili replied directly this time without translation. After the translator conveyed her words, He Zhen smiled and agreed.

“I only look at the evidence here; I don’t want to hear your unnecessary speculation!” Ou Ting cut off someone who was still desperately struggling.

Ye Yi ignored Wu Yue’s unauthorized actions and said to Ichigo, “You stay here; I’ll go out to see the situation.” Then he walked straight outside.

The Heavenly Gate opened, and as the vital energy was detected, it was startling to find that the milky substance contained an astonishingly potent spiritual energy.

The earth trembled, fractured, and crumbled. The bloodthirsty demon corpse, wracked with intense pain, trampled the ground, yet the flames enveloping it only grew fiercer, making the demon appear like a grotesque fire figure.

Zhu Xue and Zhuque already represented the Phoenix Clan, so no further delegates were sent—only numerous precious gifts. The Tianlang Dog Clan had long arrived with a large contingent. As Cangyun’s elder brother-in-law, he was officially sanctioned to indulge in pleasure.

At this moment, An Yesu seemed to have realized something and appeared ready to cooperate with me.

Fang Cheng approached the window, gazing at the night sky outside, beginning to assess current gains and losses, as well as his own condition.

This space shuttle came from the Great Yuan Empire. It took off from an ultra-long runway over ten kilometers long, accelerating for miles. Only then did the massive craft weighing over two thousand tons stagger into the sky.

Under such circumstances, how could they endure? They all sprang forth to fulfill their duties to Liang Yishan.

“He made a condition: five thousand taels of silver. Either me or my brother—one of us had to be given to him. The brothel madam dared not disobey, and that very night, my brother was delivered to his mansion.

After all, he was caught between the Divine Que Guild and the players who surged in from behind. Outnumbered, within ten minutes, fifty to sixty thousand were slaughtered by two to three hundred thousand players. Blood stained the earth; running on the road, their feet were sticky, and the air was thick with the pungent stench of blood.

Meng Fei turned around. “You want me to come back, so I must? You want me to leave, so I must? Who do you think you are? And who do you think I am?” His face was full of exasperation as he spoke.

It is remembered that after Li Mi’s historic defeat, a letter from Li Yuan induced his surrender. If roles were reversed, Chen Rui might also be able to recruit him; after all, living was far better than dying.

As the living environment changed, human experience, knowledge, and abilities also shifted to some degree. Yet no matter the change, some things remained constant. This unchanging cognition and concept formed a vital element in the construction of what humans called divine artifacts.

Then, with a splash, he dove back into the boiling volcanic magma. Dense bubbles surged again. It seemed as if he was submerging once more; the bubbles quickly vanished, and the magma returned to its original calm.

“Hebei, do not act rashly. The plan remains. Kill him first!” Li Mi’s eyes flashed sharply as he made a throat-cutting gesture.

Although Feng Yanran had a hard time at home, Mei’er never treated her poorly. She had given Feng many pieces of jewelry and treasures. So no matter how tiring the chores, Feng never complained, especially in caring for Nian’er, which she did with utmost diligence, greatly pleasing Mei’er.

Chen Rui was greatly surprised. This secret agent before him, whose name he did not even know, was utterly beyond his expectations—almost a pleasant surprise.

What a terrifying habit! Being with Pei Jun had now become one for her! And she still dared to say she didn’t care about him? That she was only doing it out of necessity? She could fool herself, but her body betrayed her heart. Her heart had long since been stolen, hung on his treetop, freely bathed in sunshine and rain.
