Liu Bang had remained silent all this time. Now he finally let out a long breath. Fortunately, his side had lost Peng Yue and Han Xin, while Western Chu had lost Fan Zeng. Yet he still had Xiao He and Chen Ping.

It would be best if he could bring them back. If he could not, then at least he would make sure they ended up disgraced. But the final outcome astonished him.

By candlelight, Huang Qingwan continued studying the Immortal Demon-Subduing Art until well past midnight. Emperor Qian Shi had not returned, and the entire Qingwan Palace seemed eerily empty.

Her body felt as though it had been torn apart. The pain was unlike anything she had ever known, yet damnably, she was addicted to it and craved more.

When Bucktooth began making such a scene, the passersby who had originally gathered out of genuine curiosity could not help joining in the condemnation. This only emboldened him, and he became even more unreasonable. Li Ling looked at Chen Han, completely at a loss as to what to do.

Recently, that old man Tian Sha Mo had been forcing her to cultivate nonstop. It had taken considerable effort for her to slip away and have some fun.

“The war between the righteous and demonic factions has been raging for quite some time. Since the Ice Nether Palace is so close to the Demon Sect, perhaps the palace no longer has the energy to prepare for the tournament. Simply dealing with the Demon Sect is already keeping them more than busy enough,” Hao Haotian said.

“How could this have happened? Why doesn’t Hua Yileng believe anything in the video?” Zhou Xuanjun looked deeply troubled.

The Ice Spirit Python ranked seventy-ninth on the Spirit Beast List. Its entire body was covered in ice, granting it tremendous defensive power. An ordinary early-stage Profound Transformation warrior would have no way of dealing with it. Judging from the state of the Ice Spirit Python’s corpse, it was clear that it had died beneath a group assault.

Once he had the money, he hurried to the blacksmith’s shop. After successfully replacing the gemstone, the Fire-Avoiding Pearl was finally settled in place.

The dragon’s breath stripped away a patch of fur from Xiang Qing’s foreleg. The intense pain made Xiang Qing let out an enraged roar, while the red tuft of mane atop his head became almost translucent.

“Here’s some advice: return your Pokémon to their Poké Balls. That will help them withstand the cold…” Zong Ci reminded him from the side, casually taking out a Poké Ball and recalling Lucario into it.

Several other players seemed tempted, but they still hesitated, glancing from side to side at the others. They wanted to wait and see how things developed first.

Thus, Taiyi and the others were inevitably forced back against the surface of the membrane separating heaven and earth, relying on it to resist.

Su Feng’s long hair streamed in the wind. His handsome, demonic features made him appear like an exalted and supremely noble primordial god, born with immunity to the myriad arts of antiquity.

Cheng Zai and Huang Yu followed closely behind Dong Jining and Hao Zai, forming the second assault echelon. Ma Jiaoyang and Chen Huinan turned directly toward the left flank, coordinating with them from afar. Ying Nan brought up the rear, while Zhao Kai, Yang Rui, and Jiang Xu immediately advanced with the ball, forming the third assault echelon.

Shen Huixian knew that the Heavenly Ghost faced two choices, yet neither of them would allow it to accomplish its objective completely.

He gripped the cracks in the stone with both hands and braced his feet against the hollows in the rock wall, securing himself so that he would not fall.

Before Fang Te could finish speaking, Henry Botter said generously, “In my eyes, this young nobleman named Bruce is a pathfinder for our family. We hope to use him to gain a foothold in Ella, so that when the entire Bruce family settles there, the transition will be smoother.”

From that point on, Lu Kang became utterly alone. Though, in name, he still had a beautiful wife and parents-in-law, in Lu Kang’s eyes he was merely a puppet manipulated by the three of them.

Mo Chen furrowed his brows slightly as he studied the message carefully. At a time like this, the Dao Sect should have been severely weakened. With a legendary exotic beast attacking and everyone putting up a desperate resistance, Mo Youlong must have had nothing better to do than arrange something like this.

A Ci had also abandoned her original plan to study piano at the conservatory. She had intended to attend Liyun Conservatory of Music merely to inquire about Wei Ming. Now she no longer wanted to hear anything at all about Yu Fengmian.

After saying this, Granny Mute suddenly lunged for the walking stick. But Second Cat abruptly released his grip, causing Granny Mute to stagger backward.

He knew nothing about these unorthodox methods. Even if he learned the truth, he would not know how to break them. So he simply decided not to ask any further. His task, after all, was only to send these spirits to the underworld.

“Old Daoist, Liangzi and I are planning to sneak over tonight and take a look. We’ll inform you as soon as we learn anything.”

Cen Lin gave him a meaningful glance, then proceeded with him toward the end of the passageway in search of an exit.

Remembering the bright spring days of her childhood, she would always find a few excuses to drag Su Yunze off secretly to catch butterflies.

Clearly, everyone felt they had already shown enough goodwill. Some people thought they might as well take the money and leave.

At that moment, Zhang Jian had no idea that he had already been exposed. Dressed in black robes, he headed toward the Dragonbone Mountains. Whenever he encountered someone foolish enough to provoke him, he struck without hesitation, and his mastery of the Astral Seal and the Three-Lives Yellow Springs Slash grew increasingly proficient.

Yet he paid no attention to his own condition. Instead, he stared intently at that expanse of darkness.

For example, “multi-touch screens” and “elliptical approximation multi-finger touch interfaces”—eight patents in all.

The assistant coach could only sigh helplessly. The head coach simply thought too much, and because of that, he did not know how to ask about the matter. All he could do was wait and see how things developed. After thinking it over again and again, he could only let the head coach continue working on his plans.

On the stage, Su Luo made a gesture calling for silence. In an instant, the entire venue fell quiet—so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

But Wu Xie had to come. Li Qing, Li Ershan, and Li Guoguang had all grown up alongside him; in truth, they were his closest brothers. As for Li Guoguang, there was no need to mention him yet. He was still young and had a long way to go, especially since medicine was not something one mastered easily. Still, the signs were promising. Li Qing and Li Ershan, meanwhile, were already the backbone of the company.

As for what the assistant coach had said, he felt that it was indeed a problem. How to solve it, however, would require careful consideration. After all, some things were different, and a way had to be found to deal with them. They could not simply leave the matter unresolved. That was not the old man’s style.

“Ha!” Yue Mengxin lifted her clear, limpid eyes to meet that excessively beautiful, almost妖-like face. She did not answer, merely giving a soft laugh.

“Dividends? Ha, I’d completely forgotten…” He vaguely remembered that the matter had been mentioned once before, but Wu Xie had truly forgotten all about it.

The imperial collection of celebrated calligraphic works and paintings had been passed down for a thousand years. They were usually restored once every seventy or eighty years, with reinforcing strips pasted across the back. From the techniques used to attach those strips, one could glimpse the craftsmanship of restorers from successive dynasties.
