Volume 1, Chapter 64: Destination, Pingnan Town

Early the next morning, in front of the Tribunal's grand encampment.

Jiang Huan and thirty other personal guards stood ready, holding the reins of tall, sturdy warhorses. Their armor was polished to a brilliant sheen, and willow-leaf sabers were tucked at each of their waists. Their battle-ready aura far surpassed that of ordinary soldiers.

Even Jiang Huan himself felt a sense of emotion. The armor and weapons of the personal guards were simply leagues ahead of standard-issue gear. Wearing it all, he looked quite dashing.

Fully armed, Commander Zuo stood at the camp gates, frequently gazing into the distance with a slightly anxious expression on his face.

"Commander, why hasn't the State Preceptor arrived yet? We are already half an hour past the agreed time!"

A square-faced guard stepped forward and asked Commander Zuo.

"I've finished my college entrance exams and am preparing for university. I wanted to take the opportunity during summer vacation to find a job and earn some living expenses for school," Hai Kui explained the actual situation to him.

Though Zhang Qingting had run away and he secretly felt a sense of relief, the fact that she had fled of her own accord filled him with an indescribable shame.

He looked up to see the blazing sun hanging high in the sky, casting a brilliant light across the earth. Without realizing it, noon had already arrived.

Chunying was not conflicted about this matter. She glanced at Shi'er, forced a smile, and chatted for a bit longer before finding an excuse to take her leave. She walked gloomily toward the room where she was temporarily staying, but stopped midway and instead ran out of the courtyard.

"How did you know I was here?" I asked with a smile, pulling another cigarette from the pack and lighting it.

Hunbao's self-introduction unsettled many of the demonic beasts. To think it was a rare Qini beast from the Holy Land—wasn't that even more terrifying? Some of the beasts in the rear quietly retreated toward the edge of the Lingding Ocean, and taking advantage of the distraction of those in front, they slipped into the ocean and dared not come out again.

After the span of a cup of tea, Xie Shenyan's coughing, which had ceased for a while, began anew in rapid succession, frequently bringing up a good deal of phlegm. Lin Xi remained right by his side, attending to him throughout this intermittent coughing fit for a full hour before things finally quieted down.

"Mother's life ended back in the Holy Land. Shang, let Mother go..." After shedding her final tear, the Dragon Mother turned around and plunged into the black hole outside space.

"This is an unruly disciple I took in, Liu Erhei. His name sounds quite rustic, but he has a few too many tricks up his sleeve." Tie Dao patted Liu Erhei on the head and chuckled as he introduced him to Honglian. It was hard to tell what kind of bewitching spell this middle-aged man Liu Erhei had cast on the old man Tie Dao, as Tie Dao's tone was brimming with affection and pride.

He guarded her bedside for a full five hours before she finally woke up. The very first thing she did upon opening her eyes was stare blankly at the ceiling beams and ask, "Am I dead?" Only then did she notice Zhuang Mingda.

After getting out of the car, the unfamiliar middle-aged man in front took the initiative to speak. Before they even had a chance to introduce themselves, they could already sense a heavy door slowly closing shut.

Because of this, Chen默 could not afford a decisive battle at the moment, but he could kill them one by one. The reason he deployed a large army to dig trenches and divert water was twofold: first, to keep it hidden from prying eyes, and second, to carve out countless trenches and bunkers across the plain.

"Of course, the Freemasonry has always been democratic, and we cannot depose you as President without reason. We can allow President Julie to participate in the presidential election as well—this is already our greatest concession." Stanford glanced around at the various national delegates and said coldly to Julie.

"This ink-jade carving is exquisitely crafted; it must be the work of a master artisan. I have always favored such delicate trinkets, and little Ruozhu must have tailored this to my liking." Lady Li laughed as she smoothed things over, taking the opportunity to explain to everyone that Bai Ruozhu's gift was not "shabby."

Cold-blooded's wolf-transformed physical strength and true qi had both surged dramatically. This was the very first time Chen Mo was witnessing such a rare and remarkable sight in reality. With a kick that exerted only a few thousand pounds of force, he drove Cold-blooded straight into the ground like a wooden stake.

To this day, Yu Ji still had no idea that his opponent was Chen Mo, yet that terrifying combat prowess still struck fear into the heart of a grand master.

Putting on a forced smile, he chatted with the five of them for a while before leading Langming to the spot where he had tossed the stone.

Long rainbows obscure the fishing piers, falling geese descend upon the starry islets. The grasses change along the winding Yellow Mountain, flowers drift down the clear Wei River. Splashing water startles the anxious herons, rising sands rouse the playful gulls.

Lady Feng certainly wanted to make excuses for her son, but she knew her son's nature better than anyone else. If she claimed nothing was wrong, even she wouldn't believe it.

The Universe Sister had vanished from the public eye in low spirits, having not posted on Weibo for a long time. Now the [Overbearing CEO] was back... Was all of this just a coincidence?

"The Alliance! Once part of the Alliance, forever part of the Alliance!" Xu Le raised his hand and roared, "I choose human male, for the Alliance!!!" Though the horde players were more numerous in his original world, he had played the Alliance from the very beginning and was already used to it.

The Superior Emperor Array served as the central hub of the Five Tribulations Nebula Array, and imprisoned within it, right at the glowing Dragon Subjugation point, was the Sword Sovereign Murong Fenghen.

"That's right, this pill is old man's life-saving medicine. Unless it's a matter of life and death, why would I ever give it away?" Fourth Master Jin said in a deep voice.

Murong Chen suddenly sat up and turned his head toward him, only to see Moyue stripping off the spell-inscribed ribbons tied around his ankles.

Yes, that cave was extraordinarily beautiful, and the water seemed to defy gravity, leaping upward one droplet after another in a continuous stream.

"Your Majesty, across the Four Great Continents, all the lingering incense of the Eastern Emperor's lineage, the male immortals who worshipped him, and other troublemakers have all been thoroughly rounded up. Aside from a few who lacked major crimes and were cast into the cycle of reincarnation, the rest have met their end at the Execution Platform." Central Deity Star Lord Lu Renjie reported calmly to the serene Ziwei.

Therefore, anyone who watched variety shows could see that formerly unpopular idol celebrities would suddenly join a blockbuster program, and miraculous "storylines" would inevitably unfold around them in the process.

"After all, Baili Shenjing is not a subject of my dynasty, so I cannot guarantee that he will raise troops to assist us. However, Taisu Hong certainly can."
