22 Qin Zhen

However, now that some have volunteered, these people are expendable to him. Even if they all perish, countless others will step up to take their place. Letting them go not only silences public criticism but also avoids any losses—a perfect win-win situation.

The Great Black Dharma image’s eyes gleamed with a fierce light, its fangs wreathed in an icy, chilling white mist. At these words, it withdrew its foot and tapped it lightly against the ground.

"This way, all three tribes will believe themselves to be the masters of the grasslands and will each strive to unify it. They will inevitably clash, and at that moment, their alliance will crumble from within," Liu Bowen continued.

The Heavenly Wolf Hall is a world-renowned assassin organization. Although it has been whitewashed, it has not truly been cleansed of its past.

It will still be some time before I can return to the Taihua Sect, and the matter of Master Tao’s golden body cannot be rushed. The Sect Master of Taihua seems to have sensed something; there is truly little I can do right now.

"I’ll be heading off now, you all carry on," Kang Mingxuan said, having made a point to set aside an hour for this visit to show his regard.

"Wait, Yang Tianrui? It’s actually Yang Tianrui! He didn't end up a cripple?" Although Lin Feng had dropped his binoculars, he could still see clearly.

The Cold Shadow Blade carved a graceful arc through the air, absolute zero freezing everything in its path. When the Allied Forces saw that only Ice Pupil had come out to fight, they were secretly pleased. But now, that devil was cutting through their ranks seven times in and seven times out, as if entering an empty land, reaping lives at will.

The Star Brilliance Academy was once considered the most formidable among the four great academies, so this crushing victory naturally came as no surprise.

As he spoke, he looked toward Hu Weiyong at his side. Hu Weiyong and the others couldn't help but flush, bowing their heads in silence.

Fang Zhaosheng waved his hands and said, "It’s nothing; it was merely my duty as a subject." As he finished speaking, he was still catching his breath.

"The Emperor fractured a rib, and the injury punctured his lung, causing a hemothorax. You remember, don’t you? That old man back in Qingyang whom Physician Cen Chen treated after he rolled down from the mountaintop." She lathered the soap, scrubbing carefully.

She had to go to Fahua Temple tomorrow to see them off, but how could she face those people when the murderer had yet to be brought to justice?

The entire process took only a few breaths to complete. Everyone watched in silence; not a single person spoke.

Next came the combing of the hair. Gu Ruoli couldn't help but smile at the sight of the comb; it was made of white jade and was incredibly exquisite. As it glided through her hair, it reminded her of Zhao Xun's hands.

Han Ruoliu said she didn't have the ability to do such a thing. In truth, the main reason Shang Jie didn't want to die was that she had been moved by Wang Xiaozhuo's words.

"Some things are far more terrifying than worldly powers. They won't give you a moment to prepare; you might already be cursed!" Henry said.

Therefore, the head of the middle-aged guards looked at Leng Meiying with immense fury, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces with his gaze.

"Sect Master Bai’s word is worth its weight in gold. I will remember this statement, and I naturally expect you to honor it when the time comes," Fan Lang said.

Whether it was Allenlier, known as the "Soul of the Army," showing cowardice and surrendering Luo City to the enemy, or Luo City’s collusion with Xi Xuan back in the day, if these things were exposed, they would inevitably cause a massive upheaval in public sentiment.

Although he was already level 17, his opponent was level 20 and clearly possessed superior equipment. To accept the challenge rashly now would surely result in a disastrous defeat in the arena.

Today, Shimakaze was wearing her work uniform, focusing intently on the stall; the awkwardness from before was gone.

This sword technique was created based on the feelings brought by a lifetime of memories. There were many things in those memories that were hard to let go of and tugged at the heartstrings. By exploiting this, one could strike a devastating blow to an enemy's inner spirit.

Then, he frowned and thought for a moment before sighing and speaking to his clansmen: "The leader of the White Dragon bandits outside the village has invited me to step out of the fortress for a chat."

"Not bad, Mei'er, you really are talented. You learned it after just one look." He Jingheng gave Wu Mei'er a thumbs up. Seeing her nimble movements, He Jingheng couldn't help but recall the scene back then of Wu Mei'er lifting the hem of her skirt and catching fish barefoot in the shallow water.

The HR manager knew that his superior was said to be the youngest billionaire in the country. Naturally, he didn't care about squandering money; he could be as willful and reckless as he pleased.

After class started, Tirpitz operated the console for about two minutes, and the screen recovered. However, since class had begun, there was no time to delay any further.

Perhaps Li Zixiao had successfully deceived Lu Xiangsheng, but Niu Jinxing and Li Zicheng both knew that Li Zixiao still had an elite force of nearly 20,000 men entrenched in Ruzhou City.

But when she walked up to them, she found that the three members of her home team didn't even give her a proper look.

Emma recalled many things from the past. Some were hazy memories, while others were very clear.

Chen Yi worried that Houtu might have arrived early and caught a full view of his miserable, naked self.

The 19th floor was where missions were usually accepted; all internal members could search for tasks within their capabilities there. The 20th floor contained only the offices of the few leaders of the Dragon Court, though they were mostly just for show.

However, Qiao Neng was completely unaware of it, his eyes filled with a trace of gloom. After that time, he realized more and more that whenever he woke up and she wasn't in his arms, he would feel uneasy. She was becoming more and more important to him.

Nie Wanluo felt a bit constrained at these words. After an awkward laugh, she looked toward Qin Zheng, her bright black eyes revealing a faint plea for help.

At the corner of the wall, a middle-aged man clutched his head, shouting and kinking his head against the ground. Even though his face was covered in blood from the impact, it could not diminish his inner guilt.

Even one as proud as Bai Sha could not help but show a sense of respect when facing Hu Bing, bowing his waist slightly as he stood before him.

"Watch the pass!" Wang Ruocheng shouted loudly once more. He had already matched Jing Ke’s speed and used his physical advantage to force his body against him. Well-versed in the art of defense, he knew that Jing Ke was about to pass.

The secret agents were stunned by Lin Feng’s presence and dared not ask any more questions, slinking away in defeat. Ye Feng knew this was only a temporary measure; once these agents reacted, they would surely return. Therefore, they needed to lay low, and he planned to take Si Xuanyi and leave first.

The father and son didn't talk much. Although they had lost the opportunity to build a connection earlier, with the Wang family lobbying in the inner court, if the City Lord's Mansion assisted Qi Xuan Yi, they would surely gain favor. Providing help in times of need is always better than adding flowers to embroidery.

The smile on Chen Wei’s face slowly faded. A father’s feud is irreconcilable; this grudge must be avenged.

This was a realm beyond the Asking the Summit realm. Now that Wang Yue was a master at the Asking the Summit realm, he was only a step away from becoming an immortal, but that step was harder than ascending to heaven.
