Chapter 69, Part 4

As the saying goes, even without wind, three-foot waves will rise. The internet has never been a tranquil place, and once the wind starts blowing, goodness knows how high those waves can surge—especially when two heavyweight bombs detonate across the cyberspace simultaneously.

Yet, in the end, all efforts fell short of success. Ancestor Styx did not perish, his sea of blood remained unbroken, and Yuzhang City was not saved. Gu Han himself, however, could no longer endure such agonizing torment and collapsed onto the sponge mattress.

The safety harness hoisted Yang An up, lowering him safely beside the other two. He did not forget to flash a reassuring smile to the surrounding crowd to signal that he was unharmed, easing the hearts of his fans.

After the two presenters rattled on endlessly with a bunch of remarks, they finally reached the main agenda. "And now, we present the award for Best Song. The winner is..." Tense music immediately resounded across the venue.

"Any outcome from the fire last night? Did you catch the arsonist?" The moment he saw Xia Hongsheng enter, Duan Zan stood up abruptly and asked with anxious eagerness.

As the pace of reform and opening up deepened, Western Christmas attained an increasingly prominent status among the youth. While it still lagged far behind the Spring Festival, in the hearts of the younger generation, it was hardly inferior to traditional festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Next came the speeches by senior figures such as Yeyue, which, compared to the preceding comedic episodes, were remarkably tedious.

For countless years, Buddhism had employed myriad methods to recruit countless souls into its fold. Now, the momentum of Buddhism's great rise was unstoppable, yet people remained deeply concerned with just how long this prosperity could endure and what foundations lay beneath it.

Spy reports arrived stating that King Yongliu of Goguryeo, Go Jianwu, had conscripted common laborers to begin constructing a defensive wall from Fuyu City in the northeast, intending to extend it all the way to the coastline.

One must understand that for a dragon, the tail is forever one of the most sensitive parts, let alone when it happened to be Kanna's tail.

"If you lads truly wish to go, head to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. The maidens there are—tsk, tsk," the innkeeper said with a nostalgic expression.

Suddenly, the auction stage lit up, and instantaneously, everyone in the audience tacitly ceased all conversation, plunging the entire auction house into silence.

When Lu Qiushi returned to his original luxury soft-sleeper compartment, he discovered that Master Huifa had vanished. However, when the train arrived in Sanshan City and he stepped off with his luggage, he ran into Master Huifa once again.

The probability of an ordinary person possessing a cultivation constitution was less than one in ten thousand. The likelihood of Qin Yang and his companions possessing such a constitution was virtually negligible, meaning that even if they possessed cultivation mental techniques, it would logically be in vain.

Li Si laughed and said, "Li Yan Zai, do you truly believe I fear you? If you want to fight, let us fight! Elder Yin, there is no need for you to make a move; you merely need to watch out in case he tries to escape!" He had long since perceived that Yin Chongzheng would remain a bystander, and naturally would not let slip the opportunity to utter high-sounding words. Yin Chongzheng nodded slightly, drifted backward, and widened the distance.

Duguwutian stood like a god of war, his towering physique seemingly forged from iron. Wielding a massive iron sword, he slashed downward fiercely; the blade gleamed like a rainbow, tearing the very firmament apart with a 'chi' sound, while the supreme Daoist force vibrating from the sword obliterated the void.

Hearing this, Feng Li's advancing footsteps instantly paused. Regardless of whether the words spoken by this impure monk were true or false, at the very least, he possessed knowledge inaccessible to ordinary people.

He took a deep breath and silently prayed to the heavens, hoping that such miserable days would come to an end soon.

Yang Suping was thoroughly intoxicated. In a hazy blur, he unbuttoned Sufei Caiwei's garments, gazing directly at her body. Sufei Caiwei was shy and insisted she would not submit to such an embarrassing act, but pulled firmly into Yang Suping's embrace, she had no choice but to close her eyes and surrender to the experience.

That was a pressure originating close to the source itself, for Zilan's strength was overwhelmingly superior, surpassing ruthless detachment by an entire major realm.

Feng Zhen felt a profound sense of heartache and helplessness that the young man with such clear eyes back then was heading toward a doomed fate. Even now, she refused to believe that the current foolish and tyrannical emperor was the same youth she had once known; everything felt so surreal.

"Stop making excuses. I'll come looking for you tonight." Huan Die leaped down from her chair, mimicked Ruxue by lightly tapping Liu Xinghe's nose with her fingertip, and left the room.

Such a person was fundamentally unsuited to be a soldier, even if he dared to fight fiercely and earned numerous military merits.

Hearing that Chen Ergou intended to help them find a new destination, they immediately wiped the tears from their faces with their sleeves and asked with eager excitement.

Then he raised his head to gaze into the empty space, only to find that Kong was watching him intently, as if waiting to see what kind of reaction Fraser would have.

Fortunately, their composition this time was a protective lineup featuring both an Angel and Lulu.

An Hong hurriedly crawled forward on her knees to support Xie Yixin, preventing her from falling to the ground and making a public spectacle.

Although Luo Ji had no idea why this Supreme Elder wished to find Chu Shaoyang, he immediately dispatched someone to deliver the message.

As the other party's gaze locked onto him, Chu Shaoyang felt a monstrous wave of killing intent emanating from him.

"Damn it!" I cursed under my breath, then took a deep breath of the freezing air. I glanced at Bai Linghua standing beside me, noticing her astonished expression as she gazed at the scene before her, uncertain whether she was pleasantly surprised or bewildered.

Although autumn had already arrived, the lingering heat of the autumn tiger was even more stifling and unbearable than the scorching midsummer.
