Volume 1, Chapter 59: Rest Assured, I Won't Take Advantage of You

The advancement of the ordnance industry provided strong support for strengthening the National Protection Army, prompting Xia Feng to initiate a new reorganization of the forces.

Thinking along these lines, he had already stepped out of the barrier. Before he had gone far, the cold voice-transmission of the Blood Demon Tower pierced into his mind.

Having poured such dedication and effort into it, only for everything to ultimately come to nothing, how could she possibly swallow this grievance?

In the hazy gray world, there was a giant monster shaped like a centipede, about fifty meters long. It slithered out and clung to the exposed, gnarled roots of the giant tree Yggdrasil.

Zhao Ge exaggeratedly recounted the situation as it had happened, and then said, "Everything I've said is the truth. These personal guards can all vouch for it." The wounded soldiers also chimed in all at once, declaring that they could bear witness.

Hao Tian had no reason to doubt him and presented his own question. To his surprise, Zhong Li gave a faint smile and then produced an item right before his eyes.

Early the next morning, the glaring sunlight woke Shang Jingxing. He rubbed his eyes and looked around in a daze.

The battlefield was in utter chaos. People forgot how to feel fear, knowing only how to wield their blades and spears to hack and slash desperately. The shouts of battle had vanished, replaced entirely by the clashing of steel and the sound of bodies being pierced. Blood, blood was everywhere, alongside corpses strewn across the ground.

At this thought, Zhou Jianhui glanced at his watch. It was already past nine in the evening, and his parents back home should have already gone to sleep.

They were not executioners, but rather outstanding figures hoping to establish the future Earth government, and what they contemplated was precisely the political framework of that future government.

"Even if you don't care, you have to consider the impact on Ai Yun. Do you want a repeat of this incident?" Qiao Wangbei was so angry that he slammed the table.

What I can't stand is your narcissism. Su Qin muttered under her breath, though she didn't say it out loud. She still owed him a favor for this matter, after all.

"Alright, don't worry. Even if something happens, I'm here." Duan Linbai wasn't very good at comforting others; with stiff hands and feet, he awkwardly ruffled her hair.

Having said that, Yi Shiting fell silent. Pingzi probably pitied me, seeing me as pathetic as a stray dog, and simply pulled me into her embrace. After a long while, only when I had calmed down somewhat did Yi Shiting finally begin to speak to me slowly about the matter concerning my maternal grandmother.

The palm descended, an extreme aversion coupled with a chilling dread in the palm pressing tightly against her slender neck.

Although the practice of the Blood Steel Body over the past few days had put a little flesh on his once-scrawny frame, this little bit was still not enough to catch Xun Qi's eye; he still considered him the most lagging "bag of bones" in the tribe.

Therefore, rather than saying Meng Kui came over with the intention of negotiating, it was more accurate to say he came to seek asylum.

"Since you already know the sequence of the switches, why not just open it directly? How could it be of no use?" This Thousand-Hands fellow was truly painfully slow-witted. He probably didn't know that such mechanisms also had a resetting function; once reset, the sequence would change, and acting recklessly would inevitably trigger the trap, causing casualties.

He escaped from the darkness, stepped into the sunlight, and revelled in the warmth it brought.

As he spoke, Gu Tao popped a piece of steak into his mouth, completely ignoring Xie Tianding and the others.

Norin hurried to tell Joseline about this, excitedly describing the sensation of that night. His senses had become acutely sharp, and he did everything he could to describe the illusion of even being able to feel the regular flow of the air and space.

"Your younger sister Baozhu is ill and currently recuperating, so she cannot be disturbed." To prevent her from implicating my son and getting him sick as well.

Humph, daring to offend me, you deserve to have your face ruined. Wang Qihua leaned against her mother-in-law, smiling beamingly, feeling immensely vindicated.

Although Star Moon Island was far away overseas and safe for the time being, it would not be spared once the Evil God conquered the Tianyuan Continent.

Because Lady Gao was present, Xie Zhi found it difficult to exchange too many polite pleasantries with the elder Lady Helian, so she only smiled gently and said, "Rest assured, A-rong is like my own sister, I will treat her well." In her heart, she was always thinking of A-rong.

It was not in vain that she had intentionally had the palace guards transferred away these past few days; the area outside the Imperial Kitchen was very lax.

As for what happened last night, he could remember a little bit of it, but as for the fierce prowess Lady Li spoke of, he hadn't the slightest impression.

Moreover, her tall stature of nearly 1.75 meters, resembling a model's figure, was completely wrapped up tightly in her clothes.

Being able to make Sect Master Jiang, who usually hid his anger and joy, show an expression of shock, the Great Elder was overjoyed.

Fortunately, he could still hold things down for the Silver Wolf Tribe for another year or two, and this amount of time should be enough for Youlan to rush back from Bellflower Valley to take charge of the tribe.

Shen Liangye's condition flared up, and the group could no longer spare the energy to argue. They hurriedly rushed Shen Liangye to the hospital. Su Nian ultimately couldn't harden her heart and followed them to the hospital, only to be chewed out mercilessly by Shen Liangye's attending physician.

Then, Shihou nodded toward Yuxian. Yuxian's entire body radiated pure jade fairy light, and with a step, she passed through the statue and sat cross-legged inside its body, replacing the vacant spiritual soul of the puppet statue. She allowed Shihou to cast his spell, fusing herself with the statue.

Huang Yi: "Cheer up, what's so great about those stinky men that makes it worth crying over them? Look at Ouyang, she's completely someone who abandons friendship for the sake of a guy. You don't want to become the second one, do you?"

The Vajra Knot is a protective amulet. When malevolent non-human entities intend to harm us, the Vajra Knot plays a protective role, keeping them far away from us.

Countless towering ancient trees stood here, their dense foliage overlapping layer upon layer. Coupled with the gloomy sky, her slender white figure was almost completely swallowed up by them.

Moreover, one could tell from their words that they were spoiled young master scions who had spent years playing among flowers; the wicked deeds they must have committed behind the scenes were certainly numerous.

Having resolved the water source, Shihou then began to fine-tune the arrays on various mountains and ridges, gathering the wind and absorbing *qi*, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to converge at specific nodes. In the future, these places would become prime locations for the Youyu clan to practice cultivation.

The faint discomfort in his heart became more and more pronounced, like a stone thrown into water, causing ripples to continuously expand.

At the same time, everyone led by Jia Lu simultaneously drew their weapons, rushed out of the main hall, and arrived in the plaza.

Hong Xing had been busy refining pills during this period, so she had no time to cook. Yet, she could not rest easy during her secluded cultivation, constantly worrying that Mei Yue might wrong A-yu again. Fortunately, Granny Li and the others had come down, and with Granny Li—who cherished A-yu as much as her own life—around, she was finally able to enter secluded cultivation and refine pills with peace of mind.
