Ran Sinian walked in like a robot, his eyes sweeping over Rao Peier, Tao Cuifen, and Liang Yuan. He noticed that Liang Yuan also wore a strange, mocking smile.

"There's no need to beat around the bush with me; just say what you have to say." Yang Qingxue frowned. It seemed Wang Yuncong had indeed told his family about Qin Long.

The clerk seemed to sense Xiaoming's gaze and looked back at him. A dark, eerie light flickered in her eyes—clearly a gift-based ability related to vision.

"To surpass the Later Tang Sect? I'm afraid that might be a bit difficult for you in this lifetime." Tang Yun looked toward the sky, seemingly lost in thought, and said nothing more.

From that day on, the Junshan Bar and the Purple Night Bar on Hibiscus Street ceased operations. With Brothers Bar remaining the only establishment on the commercial street, business boomed instantly, and it was packed to capacity every night.

Soaring into the high sky, Azi Dahaka’s three heads finished their complete lines, one after another. Then, shaking his scales, he scattered a deluge of pitch-black parchment across the sky.

And what about Yang Liu’er? She had never been in love and was prone to drooling over handsome men. When a god-like man suddenly appeared and launched a fierce pursuit, perhaps she had just been swept up by her infatuation with Qiu Qianjian’s looks. Having already borne him two children, she had simply drifted along with the situation and stayed with him.

The moment the fist collided with the protective barrier, a swirling starry sky emerged from Xiaoming’s hand and expanded instantly. A star within the expanse, named Tai Sui, shone brilliantly. By the time the man in white robes realized what was happening, the star had enveloped them both, then abruptly contracted, falling onto the desolate mountaintop like a speck of dust.

"This is terrifying; if that hits me, it'll be a disaster." Kizaru hurriedly materialized and fired several terrifying lasers upward.

From the moment Qin Long and Wu Ming appeared, everyone knew they would be the protagonists of this grand spectacle.

[That just proves Cheng Yijun really isn't innocent.] Zuo Ling sent the message, pocketed her phone, and kept walking forward.

The first plot of land was the H01 commercial site, covering 100,000 square meters in the city center of the HP district. The estimated bidding price was 300 to 500 million yuan. Only the most powerful giants in the real estate industry were competing for it; a mid-sized company like Baili wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

I had just entered the private room when I heard a sound from nearby. I looked toward the source and saw two men in black suits holding sword hilts. Even through their sunglasses, I could feel the killing intent in their eyes.

"No need, they are already here." Nie Wei stood up silently and walked in a certain direction.

After a long while, Li Gang’s expression gradually calmed, eventually shifting into a look of disappointment, exhaustion, and loneliness. He looked up at the silent Li Zhishi and sighed softly.

Xuan Qing bowed slightly to Wu Song, his expression strange, as if he were lost in deep thought. The more he pondered, the tighter his brows furrowed.

"Brother Jiang, if you kowtow to me again, I will not say another word to you and will leave at once!" Wu Song said formally.

Because she had defied the School Discipline Department, Zuo Ling successfully rose from fifth to second place on the wanted list.

One had to realize that since beginning his practice of spiritual cultivation, he had never truly engaged in a head-on battle, let alone against an opponent who, like him, was also a spiritual practitioner.

As for make-up exams, aside from the occasional student with a severe imbalance in their studies, almost no one ever had to take them.

The brawny man flew backward, landing on the ground next to Fang Luo’s car, smashing cracks into the road surface.

They needed the villagers from outside the mountains to organize horse teams to transport daily necessities, and they also needed to connect the pipelines throughout the base to supply oxygen.

In the eyes of the hunters, who could not keep up with the speed, it appeared as though their own comrade was throwing himself onto Ian’s weapon.

The wish was beautiful, but it was hard to realize. Even if someone were truly willing to buy it, given Jing Liu’s personality, she would never agree.

It wasn't until they traveled through the four commanderies and discovered the issue of human life levels within "Number One" that the tragedy began to unfold.

Cui Min was driving the recreational vehicle, while Song Tianjiao’s Maserati GT was left for other bodyguards to drive away.

Zhou Sui felt that his cultivation was closely tied to the mortal world. It could be said that this mortal realm was his foundation, and it had to be managed with great care.

Su Bei opened his eyes and looked at the hour hand, minute hand, and the shadows of the numbered markers inside the large clock.

Li Meili spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed at Li Wenxin, and then burst into a mocking, boisterous laugh.

Lv Fei understood the importance of reports and briefing materials. Fortunately, he had realized the importance of spreading Confucianism years ago and had conducted considerable research, so his ideas were already prepared. Had it not been for that, he would have been in real trouble facing such an important report so suddenly, but now, it was no problem.

Artoria sighed with a hint of distress. Because of this, more and more ninjas were being thrown into the cells, and she figured she would have to expand the prison in a few days.

Yet, what no one expected was that the World Tree, which had always exuded such an ancient and heavy aura, would manifest in such a form.

But they were currently traveling, not on an assassination mission; he didn't want to suffer while drifting through space.

Seeing Liang Shan "shamelessly" recommend himself, Dai Wanjiang mocked him without mercy.

A savage bear clashed with Hong Wu and let out a shriek, scrambling backward with a bloodied forearm that had nearly been severed.

"Good, very good." Lin Yu curled his lips. "I originally thought you were a pitiful person, but now it seems your son is such scum precisely because of your contribution."

These were the three dark spheres Su Ming had accumulated using Syndra’s ultimate ability, "Unleashed Power." The reason he had held back until now was that the move was incredibly frustrating, requiring a certain amount of time to gather.
