In an instant, he forcibly broke free of his restraints and unleashed more than a dozen supreme secret arts and divine abilities of the Ten Thousand Ghost Palace, guarding himself from all sides.
Kim Tae-yeon, feeling somewhat drowsy, was just about to nod off when the panting beside her startled her awake. She rose to her feet, ready to vent her anger, yet in the next moment she merely stared blankly ahead, utterly motionless. The blush on her face was exceedingly adorable.
At the same time, an immensely sharp sword aura pierced straight through Xiong Ba’s abdomen, causing blood to pour from the wound as he crashed heavily to the ground.
She had taken only two steps when Gu Nan suddenly stopped, pulled out Cain’s left hand—the object he had retrieved from Shana—and fiercely thrust it into the ground.
More than a dozen figures piled all the baskets they had carried and borne on their shoulders in one place. One person remained behind to watch them while the others retreated far away.
For as Gu Nan spoke, he rotated the short sword in his hand and drove it straight into Duoyin’s chest.
Relying on the blessing of the astral realm, his opponent had actually managed to exchange blows with him. That was indeed astonishing. But if anyone thought this meant he might be able to defeat him, that would be nothing but a joke.
Lin Yun’s original plan had been to eliminate the four people at the first-stage Immortal Emperor realm before focusing on Fan Jing. But the four had now grouped together, making them far from easy to kill. If his first strike failed, Fan Jing might seize the opportunity, so Lin Yun did not dare act rashly.
The Gu family was able to host a medicinal-materials exchange conference not only because Gu Songhe had used his medical skills to cultivate connections with the powerful and influential, but also because of his own strength. He had reached the late stage of Energy Condensation and could be considered formidable.
Later, however, he disappeared without a trace. They had originally thought he had been killed by cultivators from the Dao Camp, but unexpectedly, he had appeared here again. Moreover, he seemed to have come with Cao Jilin and Feixiong, prompting him to let out a soft exclamation of surprise.
Yet the instant he placed his hand on the hilt of his blade, boundless battle intent began to rise and burn within him once more.
Although he did not yet have any children, Yan Qing remembered seeing someone say that communicating with children at eye level could help draw them closer.

Their reaction caused Fu Chengzhou to turn his gaze toward them. He casually straightened the luxurious cuff links at his wrist.
“You mean the Blue Dream Fairy has taken on a disciple? But back then, no one ever heard of her accepting one,” Gu Qianyang said.
Li Hai had already understood. His grandfather’s disappearance, his father’s vanished corpse, his mother’s abduction, and all the pressure he had endured over the past several years had been caused by that man named Yuan Ye. Wasn’t his purpose precisely the Twelve Beast Jade of Li Hai’s family?
A stretch of white mist gradually appeared before her. After passing through it, she saw a familiar space and felt a surge of delight. Fortunately, they had come through together.
Huan Ye studied it carefully and discovered that although the horizontal strokes and sweeping turns of the characters appeared careless and uninhibited, every transition and connection flowed together seamlessly, carrying the force of waves spreading across the sea. Compared with the calligraphy of most cultivators in the present cultivation world, it was even more unrestrained.
That alone was not the main point. What truly mattered was that Li Xingwan’s waist was incredibly slender—truly, incredibly slender. When Fu Chengzhou placed his palm there, he had completely shown the countless online viewers what it meant for a waist to be narrow enough to fit within one hand.
Next, his true body appeared here together with his younger sister Li Yan, Lin Yue, and Nangong Wentian.
As the man drew nearer and nearer, Yan Qing’s heartbeat once again accelerated beyond her control.
This old man was none other than the Ancestor of the Yellow Immortals. I knew perfectly well why he had acknowledged me as his master. It seemed that the old gentleman truly doted on his grandson.
“Hah! Since that is the case, then we are on the same side.” Hearing this, Zhou Nian also breathed a sigh of relief.
The test results differed from those of a human body. Where did the difference lie? It lay in the fact that when a human body held its breath, the flow of inner energy would stop, but it would not spread outward either, as though time had been fixed at that very moment.
Ye Haichuan’s blood was as domineering as a king. It forcefully devoured the blood of the vampire clan, then, under Ye Haichuan’s conscious control, merged with the rest of his blood.

“Every one of them is fucking insane! What’s wrong with guarding their sect properly? Why insist on coming out here to throw their lives away? Damn it!” The thief cast his furtive gaze around for quite some time. He saw only one familiar face—that of Qian Zhongyu—and in the end, he still failed to find Liu Qianhan.
Early the next morning, Tuoba Jie discussed matters with He Liang and Situ Yun, asking them to take his younger sister, Tuoba Xue, back to Mount Tianzhu. He himself intended to return to the Tuoba tribe, since the tribe had many matters requiring his attention after he had been away for so many days, and he could not delay too long.
“If you wish to learn, I am naturally willing to teach you everything I know. However, how far you can go will depend on your own efforts,” Lu Yu said with a smile.
He turned to look at the others and discovered that Zhang Wei and the rest had all fallen to their knees in shock and terror. Anna was no exception.
Upstairs, Xiuyue fed An Zi one spoonful at a time. Downstairs, the others conversed loudly and animatedly, as though afraid no one could hear them. Fortunately, Old He had taken his two apprentices and slipped away, leaving no outsiders behind.
Gong Yu praised her profusely, all the while stroking his few wisps of beard. Then he rolled his eyes at Qiu Qixuan.
“Of course they can be sold. As far as I know, no one in the county town has started selling these bean sprouts yet. Our family may even be the first,” Shen Gaoshan said.
Wang Chi was astonished that the very first incense formula was so wondrous, and with keen anticipation, he began reading the formulas that followed.
Lin Ke glanced at the fantastical fragment, only then remembering that he did not have a pocket in which to put it.
