Volume 1 Chapter 38 Dining Together

The sky had darkened completely by now.

Mrs. Cheng said to Mingshu, "Since we have to wait a while, why not go to the West Courtyard for a meal first?"

Can such martial arts truly render one impervious to blades and spears? Judging from historical weapons designed specifically to counter the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Cloth Shirt techniques, ordinary swords and blades were indeed insufficient. Almost without exception, these specialized weapons utilized diamond tips.

The Empire maintained a very loose administration over its various cities; many were governed by sects, with the Empire merely collecting a portion of the taxes.

Qi is the most fundamental substance constituting the world, as well as the essential element sustaining human life. Living within nature, human growth, development, and all vital activities require an exchange of matter and energy with the surrounding environment.

The restraining nature of the cultivation technique destined it for failure, yet the Nether Ox charged fiercely toward Chang Le.

Pu Tou did not stand on ceremony and found a seat. After Tuoba Jiefen and his son paid their respects to Budugen, they sat across from Pu Tou.

Furthermore, the Mutual Learning Association is currently incubating a group of talents for the Learning Home. These individuals are buyers for now, but in a year or two, they will become sellers—the teachers.

Chang Le swiftly stepped forward with his left foot to close the distance, twisting his body and hips to the left, pointing his left toes outward, while simultaneously using his left hand to wrap around and secure the bald man’s right leg.

This Yao Yao sometimes relied on ghostly footwork to maneuver around Chang Le, and at other times met him head-on in a brutal exchange of blows, refusing to yield an inch.

Three years ago, had Luo Changge not been in seclusion attempting a breakthrough, it likely would not have been Feng Yebai nearly defeating Luo Changhe, but rather Luo Changge crushing Feng Yebai.

Ryan had been denounced by informants as utterly worthless; it appeared he might be meeting his end here today.

Zheng Xichen told him the location, then sat down on the spot, pulling his clothes around himself to bundle up. Watching the first ray of dawn rise from the horizon and spill into the dim, damp sky, the whole world suddenly became bright and vibrant.

The Blood Demon, Xuanxin Zaohua, Ling Tian, and our father’s generation were all practitioners of the sensing method. This Sea of Flowers seems to have existed since long, long ago—so long that even Xuanxin Zaohua and the others do not know why it is here.

Huzi’s eyes were fixed intently on the mouse under Feng Bojin’s right hand. The moment Feng Bojin’s hand moved away, Huzi lunged, pouncing on and biting at the mouse.

Yuan Zhiyi introduced himself, and after a few polite exchanges, Yan He brought up the purpose of his visit with Father Jiao.

Wherever the great army passed, not a blade of grass survived; of those who had encountered the Martial Guard Army, not a single living soul remained.

He felt like an idiot—no, he and Fang Shaokang were both idiots. Glancing sideways, he saw a hamster beside them that was even more foolish than an idiot.

Just then, the grand formation flickered and expanded by ten thousand feet, forcing those outside to retreat. Yuxin tried to tear through the void, only to find the space had become incredibly solidified. Her expression changed, and she rapidly shifted her hand seals to slow her opponent's attacks, yet she found herself unable to escape.

With no other choice, Huofeng and I unleashed the True Phoenix Fire and the Southern Brightness Departure Fire to join the siege, but we were struck down after spewing only a few breaths of flame.

As soon as Cai Ling'er finished speaking, Jiang Xiao tampered with the Seven-Colored Phoenix’s memories. He opened the Bagua Seal, tossed the Seven-Colored Phoenix back to the phoenix tree, and, holding Nezha by the hand with Cai Ling'er slung over his shoulder, tore through the sky and headed east.

The talismans and arrays began to flicker. Three hundred and sixty talismans for suppressing evil spirits had been arranged into a grand suppression array, releasing a powerful restraining force.
