"Hanyu, how could you be so rash as to agree to Xie Feng!" Tie Xiangxue looked at him with a resentment-filled gaze as she spoke.

Even with the protection of the black beast battle armor, they were still severely injured. Their internal organs felt as though they had been shifted, and the pain was so intense it felt as if their very souls were being twisted.

However, this chaotic exotic beast was truly extraordinary. With a physical body at the late Hunyuan stage, the immortal swords held by the five, all of which were innate spiritual treasures, could barely inflict any substantial damage. Such a physique was indeed terrifying, but at this rate, it was unlikely to be long before the beast was slain by their blades.

Yin Junfeng looked at his impatient demeanor and felt a bit puzzled. He hadn't seen him for many days and had actually missed him, so he said, "Alright, let's go and take a look."

Given Haotian’s level of cultivation, he was naturally clear about the shift in the guests' expressions. It seemed this Flat Peach Banquet had truly been worth it. Once the flat peaches were presented, even more would likely be swayed. After the grand assembly, many rogue cultivators would choose to join the Heavenly Court, which would not only bolster the court’s prestige but also further enhance its strength.

When everyone finally saw the half of Gongsun Bei’s face hidden beneath his mask, the entire venue erupted in a sudden uproar.

These difficult problems were merely considered "basic common knowledge" in the advanced surgery curriculum for Medical Sorcerers.

Today was Major Wang Lei’s day off. At only twenty-five years old, he was not only an eighth-rank martial master but also a member of the special forces in the Wind and Thunder Theater. The rank on his shoulders was earned through illustrious military exploits—or, more accurately, through the scars that covered his body.

"That is good. When there is an opportunity in the future, I will certainly come to pay my respects to Senior Hong again. Let us take our leave." Ye Zhengfeng raised a smile, cupped his hands toward Hong Daoying, and replied.

At the third watch, Chen Zheng extinguished the lamp and sat cross-legged on his bed. Unable to sleep, he continuously pondered how to locate Wang Runyuan’s hideout and eliminate him.

"I know, but I’ve hidden him, and that’s why... if I’m discovered, my mother will tear me to pieces." Harry was deeply troubled, which was why he had sought help from the Global Gay Association.

PS: There might be a delay in updates over the next two days, so please don't wait up. I'm not sure exactly when I will post because I need to take a train to Jiangxi; I will update once I reach my destination.

However, when faced with the power of Byakuya Kuchiki’s Bankai, Doflamingo’s abilities were somewhat difficult to counter or defend against.

He had his own plans. Since he would need the Snake Demon’s help in the future, it was best not to forge a deadly feud with the latter’s subordinates, even though he suspected the Snake Demon would never allow him to be on good terms with the other three demons.

Helian Nuo nodded at these words. Indeed, Gongsun Rang’s presence had already saved him from taking many wrong turns, and that was not even considering the Profound Turtle, who was far more formidable than Gongsun Rang.

Lu Qingyu and his two companions cast suspicious glances at Hu Yilou, but to their surprise, Hu Yilou no longer had any desire to waste words with them.

In a major sect, competition was never lacking. The sect did not forbid such rivalry; in fact, it often provided support behind the scenes. Only through competition could there be progress. This was true for cultivators as well. Those who stood out from the crowd were bound to be the elites, and they would naturally become the objects of the sect’s cultivation.

His heart turned ice-cold, and he let out a profound, chilling laugh before scattering into blood mist and minced flesh beneath the coffin lid.

Could it be that the Immortal Mansion was a conspiracy? Had all the cultivators who entered perished? Or had they been transported to another dimension?

Distracted by Qi Mu’s interruption, Atan forgot about her own lack of funds. Fortunately, Qi Mu was going to cook that evening. After he left, Atan rested her chin in her hands and gazed at the bright red four-piece bedding set, feeling a mix of unease and anticipation.

In truth, Fan Wei understood, but she was simply nursing a sense of frustration. This anger was inexplicable; even she did not know where the heat was coming from.

Zhaoxue Qingtian raised both hands to cradle Youlan Hantian’s cheeks and pressed her lips directly against his.

She followed after him, deciding it was best not to expose her human identity for now, lest she bring trouble upon her parents.

Fan Wei grew extremely fond of this braised lotus root dish. Having been a northerner in her past life, she had never tasted it before, but upon trying it today, she found it to be excellent.

"Silly child!" Madam Gu laughed. "If you were unwell, could you have come to this Royal Flower Banquet today?" She then looked toward Madam Han, who was laughing and chatting with the Empress Dowager in the distance.

Bailing was almost moved to tears by Zhan Kong’s roar. "You big bad guy!" she cried, before mounting her steed and riding away.

"The problem is, if we refuse the inspection, we’ll become too obvious. But if we accept, Chunteng will be exposed immediately." Gu Ningjing himself felt that the inspection would certainly include a blood draw.

She rose to wash up, only to realize that the dirty clothes she had changed out of yesterday were not in the bathroom. She paused in a daze—had Qi Mu washed the clothes himself? Had he even washed hers?

Chen Zhudi tried to help, only to find she had no way to lift Zhao Zilong. One of her hands was still wrapped in a bandage; she had no strength to spare.

The generals dared not argue and hurriedly bowed to receive their orders: "Understood!" The generals then dispersed, each going to assemble their own troops.

"So, I plan to leave all this money with Sister Yifei for safekeeping, as my future rent and living expenses," Lin Xuan said earnestly.

When Zhang Ling’er heard that Yu Xin had actually guessed the true purpose of her trip, the shock in her heart was no less than having just experienced an earthquake. She silently thought that this young, high-ranking official before her was truly formidable.
