Volume 1, Chapter 28: Princess Bright Moon

"Senior Ye certainly knows how to pick his moments, achieving a breakthrough right when all the titans are returning," Tantai Lingtian said with a smile.

The tent was crude, its floor covered in clods of mud, and the bed was nothing more than a haphazard pile of animal furs. A strange odor permeated the air inside.

She turned her head as far back as she could, hoping to catch a glimpse of the position of the other person's hand and the blade, while her own hands remained tense, ready for anything.

It was as if this premonition had come true; no sooner had Zhang Yi finished rejoicing than he heard Lin Yue calling him from the doorway. Judging by the urgency in her voice, he knew something had gone wrong and hurried out.

As for those figures who kept their emotions well-hidden, they showed no change in expression. This included the three archbishops who had already been briefed on the general content of the meeting, as well as the president and vice-president of the Sage Council, and the commander and deputy commander of the Judgment Group.

Hearing this, Mother Zhou shuddered again. Though she said nothing, she kept pushing Liang Lüzhu, urging her to return to her room.

The palace was square, adorned with carved dragons and painted beams. Twelve thick red pillars supported the grand hall, each painted with dancing phoenixes, while the lower sections depicted various aspects of worldly life.

"My dear brother, now I see why you could never pass the imperial examinations," Ye Xuan chuckled.

Zheng Shihuan's family lived in an ordinary village in Jiangxi. A family of five, they relied on their few acres of farmland; while not wealthy, they lived in harmony and joy.

Indeed, there would still be fighting. The enslaved human race in the Southern Continent and the extinct demon race of the Eastern Continent—this enmity was irreconcilable. Mercy and universal love seemed forever incapable of resolving the conflicts between different races.

"Host brother, you are too lecherous! I am single, you know; I won't agree to you so easily," the system giggled, its voice sounding strangely gentle.

Through two years of hard work, Nan Batian had earned the appreciation of Xifeng Guantian. Seeing his son's dedication, Xifeng Guantian found it difficult to discourage him and assigned him many tasks, all of which Nan Batian performed admirably.

Guo Jia and the others understood that Zheng Chen could not have failed to guess their intentions; he only agreed out of regard for their long-standing and unwavering loyalty.

Having just arrived in the Profound Realm with little understanding of the situation and limited strength, Zheng Chen did not intend to enter any cities, planning instead to head for nearby areas where he could train without facing excessive danger.

The Guild Master, who had been contemplating opening a mirror dimension, experienced a sudden moment of enlightenment at that very instant.

"You killed so many people with just a snap of your fingers?" Xiao Yan felt a chill creep down his spine; he trembled uncontrollably and collapsed to the ground, limp.

At the same time, that great, seemingly omnipotent and omnipresent divine power collided on a deeper level, a clash that few in the three realms of gods, demons, and mortals could comprehend.

Tony was truly heartless; despite suffering heavy losses himself, he was actually trying to sell 3D maneuver gear to the New York Police Department.

The four great worlds suddenly shook violently; rules disintegrated, the Great Dao collapsed, and an indescribable apocalyptic disaster descended abruptly.

What Chen Fan had to do was eliminate these extraterrestrial demons at their source and eradicate those threats from beyond once and for all.

Although Huang Mingchuan was reluctant, he knew that having these fifty top-grade blood-refining pills was due to Master Huang's efforts. Before Master Huang, he dared not break his promise.

A crisp clashing sound rang out nearby. Both looked up, their faces turning pale instantly. Long Hao was impatiently tapping on the glass; although his expression remained unchanged, anyone who knew him understood this as a sign of his dwindling patience.

"Aunt, could there be a misunderstanding? The County Consort is not the kind of man to order an execution without rhyme or reason." Even though Song Rongyue was angry with Cheng Yi, she did not want to see him meet with disaster. That Xu Kai was merely a nephew of the Princess of Xiao’s maternal family; if he had truly broken the law, his death would be of little consequence.

Therefore, the Direwolf directly invoked the Beast King Domain it had only acquired after reaching the Saint Stage, using the power of the domain to forcibly twist its body around.

The reason that man was killed was for spying on Tongyun Cave in secret. For Xingji to be so arrogant as to show up and demand entry was, in its nature, far more serious than what Ban Chan had done.

Among so many sisters, she was the one her father doted on the most, which showed that her own cunning and insight were not to be underestimated.

Yu Qing could blame no one else; who told her son to be so mischievous? If she were to blame anyone, it would be herself for not keeping the child by her side at such a time.

With this flash of leaping light, He Kejing regained her sense of self, rising from the boundless darkness and returning to her body. Enlightenment dawned in her heart: this light was the true intent of the Great Heavenly Venerate of Spiritual Wonder.

He had introduced the most primitive form of the steamship centuries ahead of time to compensate for the lack of relevant applied technology during the Tang Dynasty.

Luo Hao had not intended to eavesdrop on Manager Fang's words. Even though they had kept their voices as low as possible, their conversation was still filtered out by Luo Hao from the hundreds of background noises in the hall.

Surrounded by towering, smooth stone walls without even a protruding ledge, climbing was nearly impossible. With corpses beneath their feet, the two were like trapped beasts in a snare.

Taking advantage of the time during his promotion to the Great Perfection of the 'Return to Origin' realm, Jumang strained his ears to listen. He heard everything Judou had said and naturally understood his intent.
