Two years ago, at White Wolf Fortress, he witnessed with his own eyes the hundred-meter-high castle rising from flat ground before him, and he was captivated by the man seated atop the fortress. Before departing, Governor Oze, to whom he had sworn eternal loyalty, had explicitly ordered that the Beastblood Fortress and Ice Cavern City be entrusted to Dane. Beneath such prosperity, the defensive power of Moonlight City grew ever greater. As the bloodthirsty energy from the endless abyss beneath the city intensified, the concentration of the vital energy within Moonlight City further increased. Lan Ze did not expect that in just one evening, Nick had already found Big Sister Letty amid the vast crowd. “Alright, alright,” Fu Sheng resignedly said, allowing him to lead the way, since he himself was an immortal; taking care of these mortals was merely a meritorious deed. Should the gates and walls of Emhal City be breached, the enemies entering the city would face a second obstacle—a labyrinth. His massive body flashed past, appearing again above another member of the Underworld Abyss squad. “Of course, kill him and snatch the food!” Su Jin blurted out without hesitation, then quickly covered his mouth. Lin Qingquan glared angrily at Zhuo Qing, despising people who only spoke half a sentence. After stewing in silence for a while, Lin Qingquan finally walked over to see what this fellow was up to. Even so, such semi-professional warriors were rare among humans in this world. Every year, tens of thousands of young people held awakening ceremonies, but only about a hundred succeeded in awakening, not counting the heroic professionals. Moreover, Lan Ze discovered that every top-tier ability had its unique traits. Compared to high-level abilities that relied solely on strength and speed, the true power of top-tier abilities lay in their connection to forces akin to laws or principles. The cat seemed impatient, unleashing another burst of immense power. Amid the crowd’s anxious anticipation, the tall, sturdy stone wall cracked along its fissures, splitting apart and then collapsing. “Yes, exactly that,” Zhang Han said, tilting his head back. He would never betray a friend, but on second thought, maybe that was a bit foolish?

It turned out that last time, he had acted against his conscience; Ye Hao chose to selectively filter, fearing to be angered to the point of internal injury. “The defenses are so tight that not even a fly could get in,” the cook scratched his head. Ye Hao’s presence was unsurprising, as Dong Shaoqing had informed him yesterday to come record the album, but unexpectedly, even the head of Great Wall Records showed up, truly a generous display of respect. At this moment, all the parents who came to pick up their children gathered here. Since pickup times varied, those children who had not yet returned home waited in the classrooms. Master Tian and the group of Evil Alliance experts including Cai Yuanying and Yuan Haisong would surely take notice of him. “I hereby announce, the first-place winner of the Alchemy Competition is Gu Xinghun! Second place is Ling Tianzhan, and third is Zhang Xiaofeng!” Elder Fengchen stepped onto the square and loudly proclaimed to the crowd. Although Yue Shen came from a family whose banner never fell and whose colors fluttered outside, he was also a fierce protector of his wife. Zhan Xiaoyun cast a slight glance at the ever-cold Yan Zhan, and when his gaze swept over Qin Luoxin, a faint smile appeared in his eyes. Everyone was slightly surprised by Huoyu’s behavior. Originally, they expected someone dressed as he was to act recklessly, but he turned out to be quite sensible. In another city, Qin Shoujun hurried and finally arrived at the wealthy villa district in the suburbs. His expression serious and gaze resolute embodied the saying: a man is at his most handsome when proving himself. Whether Zhao Yikang was selfish or not, he did not force the children to study, and given his current status, for these adopted children, this was undoubtedly a good life choice.

However, several guards behind them looked longingly at the ten people walking toward them, regretting that they had missed their one and only chance. “You’re right. I’ve had such thoughts too. But I still can’t understand why she fights so hard—is it really only because her husband died?” Gemosi asked. Liuchuan Fengjian’s face was dark and unpleasant as he scanned his surroundings, still no sign of movement. This tested his patience, which was always limited, especially when facing someone destined to kill. As a veteran who had been involved since the early days of the Dimensional Mall, how could he not know the infamous reputation of the trickster known as Pi Shen? The video revealed an aerial shot. Initially, explosions and gunfire were heard, then the camera focused on a road between some unfinished buildings below, where an intense gunfight was vaguely visible. “Can you prove he’s not a spy?” Zhuangzi pointed at another white-haired old monster. Time passed uncounted, and I felt an indescribable soreness throughout my body, as if someone was expertly massaging precise acupoints—painful, yet invigorating. The closer one got to the Sealing Heaven Array, the more desolate the surroundings became; some places still burned with fierce flames. For dozens of miles, the heat waves hit like a wall. Even gods and buddhas avoided that battlefield, so no one managed it. The fire had likely been burning for decades. Besides, the troubles of the Bai family stemmed from merely a rumor. Would the royal family not investigate? “Am I such a bored person? I just want to be sure and prevent leaving future vulnerabilities. Besides, she still has a purpose for living; to overthrow Wei Huaqing, her testimony is needed. Only the words of someone of her status can convince the whole world,” Jing Mo said coldly.
