Volume 1, Chapter 41: Phantom Blade

"Search, you must find the Emperor safely!" the Prince of Yan shouted fiercely. He firmly believed that Zhu Yunwen was still within the imperial palace; as long as all the gates were guarded, there was no way he could escape.

However, as the siblings drew closer, the upbeat rhythm of dance music grew louder and louder from the southern side of the square.

"I don't want to kill you, why... must you seek your own death?" There was a bloody hole in his right shoulder, with a bullet half-embedded inside. The wound healed rapidly, and the bullet was effortlessly squeezed out.

A black shadow spike shot toward Midnight, but Midnight didn't even spare it a glance, instantly shattering Zheng Wei's attack.

To survive and thrive in this grand era, a self-media creator must possess unique content of their own.

[Just imagine how Tanyi managed to stomach it when you were a monk,] the system remarked with a faint tone.

Karler hadn't fought on the surface in a long time, and his combat skills seemed to have reset to zero. But it didn't matter; Karler was confident that after serving as a medic in a few novice-matching matches, he could quickly recover his previously mediocre standards.

"So now, every time I receive my monthly wages, I save half of it for food. As for the other half—though my parents tell me not to send money home, I keep it aside for them all the same."

Only then did she begin to doubt the events of the day she got drunk. Yet, she still meticulously finished playing her video game before opening Weibo to check.

The spiritual snake he had nurtured for many years had perished, but he was not discouraged or deterred. Instead, he drove the second green snake into the sea, and finally reaped a harvest.

"There are still many things you haven't thought of!" Lin Feng caught the faint fragrance of the young woman's body and said with a mischievous smile.

Xia Yingying threw the pillow from behind her at me and said angrily, "Do you take your sister for a prostitute? The moment the police walk in you'll claim we're a couple, as if they can actually arrest us for that."

Reduced to such a dejected and soul-sundered state, one could tell at a glance that a truly major upheaval had occurred within the guild.

It was evident that Shangguan Fei quite liked this sister-in-law, even holding Yao Minzhuo's arm as she sat obediently to the side. Yet, her eyes occasionally flicked toward Long Yuqing with an unfriendly gaze, and then over to Liu Yaqing, though it seemed like a casual, unintentional glance.

Feeling refreshed and entirely comfortable, it felt as though her entire body had been filtered, radiating infinite power.

"You're a well-fed person who doesn't know what it's like for the starving; actually, I saw everything when you and Brother Lin were by the pool just now," Hongxiu shot a sidelong glance at Rong'er and said in feigned anger.

Muttering inwardly, Zhang Nana still nodded and walked toward a massive cave at the foot of the mountain.

"There's nothing to be done about this. Sages have fallen, the Heavenly Dao is on the verge of collapse, and without order or restraint, all races are burning with envy. How could they possibly allow the human race to monopolize so much of the world's fortune? Chaos is about to begin, and everyone is scheming for their own survival... What are your plans?" Houtu asked solemnly from the side.

Meng Die'er was also a little dizzy from drinking. She was in high spirits, which was why she had a bit too much.

Yet she saw this girl Avril forcefully grabbing Lin Feng's hand and pressing it fiercely against her softness, giving Lin Feng no chance whatsoever as she took the initiative with lightning speed to guide his hand through a series of actions.

Qin Fan never expected that merely trying to launch an active attack would yield such magnificent results. In truth, he couldn't see what was happening; while beings in the immortal realm could observe those in the lower realms, the people in the lower realms could not perceive the situation above.

Passing through the ticket gate and boarding the ship, the sea breeze blew against her face unceasingly. Since this was a dock, the sea here was utterly filthy, with various kinds of garbage floating on the surface, and occasional patches of white foam that rather spoiled the scenery.

This was a reconnaissance team—proficient in scouting, stealth, and evasion. To explore an unfamiliar place, sending scouts ahead to clear the path was absolutely essential. After all, no one knew what lay hidden ahead, and colliding blindly without scouting beforehand would result in catastrophic losses.

As the saying goes, those traveling different paths cannot make plans together. Casually bringing up the matter of achieving immortality suddenly gave Ye Zi a concrete goal to strive for.

At this moment, under his full reinforcement, the sky ahead suddenly dimmed, dense dark clouds gathered, violent winds roared, and electric arcs of lightning flashed.

"Hmph!" This tier-7 expert let out a cold snort, stamped his foot, and instantly unleashed the energy within his body, shattering the vibration waves Feng Li had pressed down upon him.

A bone-chilling mist formed, blending like streams of returning light into the interior of the mother tree sapling. Along with this, Melinda wielded the Snow Halberd, unleashing wave after wave of blue radiance.

The Red Butterfly reacted similarly, instinctively taking a step back. How could someone not die even after their heart was pierced and their neck snapped? Could these fellows truly be immortal?

After the Second Master, Second Mistress, Sun Huiying, and Old Madame Sun exchanged a few pleasantries, a maid entered to report that the Aunt-Grandmother and Aunt-Grandfather had arrived.

Yingchun raised her eyelids slightly. Lady Jia was speaking kindly to Old Madame Sun. Yingchun lowered her gaze once more. Why did Imperial Noble Consort Yuan bestow gifts upon Old Madame Sun? If bestowing gifts upon herself was understandable, bestowing them upon Old Madame Sun—a distant relative with whom they had barely any connection—seemed quite baffling.

Had he known this would be the outcome, he certainly would have stood by the Ninth Company's side and confronted the regiment back then.

Training good soldiers into elite troops is not a true skill; only by forging poor soldiers into elite forces can one be considered truly capable.

Early the next morning, Chong Yu packed her luggage and contacted a real estate agent. This inn was no longer habitable.

Aiding Chen Yan's request meant abandoning the peaceful and smooth life I originally had.

The very same martial weapon, when falling into Su Zhe's hands, could be equipped into the celestial apertures of the Fortune Immortal Cauldron, pushing its weapon might to the absolute limit.

As long as he stopped doing things that drove her to despair, for the sake of their son, she would eventually remarry him.

She never imagined that this traditionally submissive and obedient Sha Zhu would dare speak to her in such a manner, even slapping her hand away and threatening to break her arm.

With a son so filial, why hadn't the Emperor rewarded him with dozens of board strokes to demonstrate his paternal love?

The surname Yuchi was actually not uncommon in this era. Although Yuchi Baoqi had stated his name, he hadn't revealed his family background to Master Liu. Consequently, the enraged Master Liu didn't recall whose residence the Yuchi family of Yongning Ward was. Right now, wracked with intense pain, his brain was no longer functioning properly.
