I sat in the driver’s seat, maintaining the car’s speed at one hundred. Zhang Beichen tore off a piece of fabric from the seat and bandaged his wound.

Although Ao Fan had managed to shake off the harassment of the floating turrets, he failed to keep pace with the trio. After pursuing them into the range of the mothership's artillery, he was met with a barrage of fire and was ultimately forced to abandon the chase.

It was now deep into the night, and the more Bai Jianli looked, the more excited he became. If he could not understand what was happening, it only proved that this place was not as simple as he had imagined. Now that he had reached the third realm of the Zhaigong, anything that remained opaque to him was worthy of his personal intervention.

He did not expect that when his subordinates returned to report, they would tell him that everything in the estate appeared calm. Although a faint air of sorrow could occasionally be felt, the Dowager Lady Jin continued to eat and drink as usual, showing no signs of excessive grief.

Clutching my knees, an unprecedented agony, like a jolt of electricity, tore through my body. Pain—mere pain could no longer describe this sensation.

Qin Chu was a member of the Black Wolves, an organization founded by Xiao Qing. Now that Xiao Qing had reclaimed the throne, many key positions in the imperial palace were held by Black Wolves members, so it was not strange to encounter Qin Chu within the palace walls.

Therefore, even though he had begun to cherish Dai Jin again, the Prince still wore a look of hesitation when faced with this request.

With Bai Jianli’s words, the remaining cat spirits in the vicinity, those not struck down by lightning, were all slaughtered without exception. Bai Jianli immediately rushed toward the northwest of the Ma Family Pond, where the sounds of battle were now deafening. Throngs of people moved back and forth—it was a clash between the underworld soldiers and the numerous cat spirits.

Although Jing Cheng was quite confident about finding the death record of Xu Jin, what worried him was Dai Jin’s life inside the prison.

Someone patted him gently on the shoulder from behind. Zhong Yue turned around to see Qiao Jianqiang from Xinhua Real Estate.

As that strange, chant-like prayer echoed once more, the flames swirling around the surface of the egg-shaped starship gradually retracted into its hollowed-out hull.

If they were to know the truth, even if they were given ten thousand lives, they would not dare to lay a finger on Ye Chen.

However, judging by the scene at dinner tonight, the relationship between the two did not seem to be at the point of irreconcilable enmity.

It is likely that Gao Yuan discovered something at the church last night, which is why he appeared in such a state today.

Lu Lingfeng seemed to be talking to himself, but his words sent a cold shiver down the Scarred Man’s spine.

Seeing Ma Xianhong use a disguise talisman and slowly fade into the distance, Lu Lingfeng continued to search for his next target.

Yun Chan pulled her over, asked her to help carry the medical kit, and then the two slowly walked toward the door.

When the three arrived at the dock, the workers had not yet begun their shift, so they found the packing foreman.

Ever since the accident during the recording of the show, Tang Xuan had been so anxious that he wanted to tether Tangtang to his own belt; he wouldn’t even let her pour her own water. Da Hei found it quite surprising that he was now discussing these matters with her.

Following that, Chen Fan noticed the wide white robe and the skin, tinged with a scorched yellow hue, beneath the hood.

A suppressed smile, both shy and indignant, played on her lips. She jumped down from her horse, scooped up a snowball from the side of the road, and hurled it at the rump of the horse Zhao Rong was riding.

Zheng Zeyu squatted down and picked up the fallen crab shears. Despite his best efforts to suppress it, his voice still trembled slightly.

Diluc’s first reaction was not shock at Venti’s identity, but a deep suspicion that Jean had been deceived by a joint scheme between Chen Tianfeng and Venti.

Maya Asura smiled broadly, stretched out both hands, and presented the jar to Vipracitti.

"Sect Leader Yun, although these ancient remnants possess world-shaking power, as long as we can work together and unite against them, it is not certain that we have no chance of victory." Seeing Yun Cheng’s grave expression, Leiyin continued his persuasion.

However, at that very moment, the phantom of the True Dragon erupted with brilliant light, manifesting a majestic and solemn figure—it was Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea.

Liu Yun tucked the silver into her bodice, picked up the bundle containing ninety taels of gold, and walked out of the money shop.

Most of those who worked in the slaughterhouse had decent living conditions and ate well; their physiques were generally sturdier than those of people in other factories.

Such an arrogant, self-centered task, which would inevitably consume a great deal of time and effort, was truly not worth doing.

Thinking of this, he said, "One thing at a time. This is a healing elixir; there are ten pills in total, refined by the Maoshan alchemist Hua Ling."

Yet, he remained unreconciled. He secretly thought that if he could chant sutras to liberate the souls of these fallen brothers, it would mean he had not failed them in their brotherhood.

Originally, Bain had held this hope as well. The reason the people of Thanathis respected him so much was precisely because of this; if Bain could truly break through to the Gold Rank, he would become the strongest in all of Thanathis and the only clansman born on the outskirts of the Northlands, rather than in its depths.

In another part of Dangsha Island, near the seaside, the sea breeze blew, rolling up layers of waves that crashed against the granite embankment.

The enemy’s war elephants could charge relentlessly, not only shattering their own assault forces but also striking directly at the main camp of the central army. Once the central army was shaken, even if they exhausted all their strength to neutralize the elephants, they would likely be unable to withstand the subsequent tide of enemy infantry and cavalry.
