Chapter 37

After the meal, Che Yan finally brought over a basin of foot-soaking water. Seeing Liu De enjoying Xi Qiu’s shoulder massage nearby, she secretly gritted her teeth.

Ye Haojun’s expression turned serious as he pondered how else he could amplify his strength if his spiritual energy was insufficient to manifest a phantom for another boost to his right hand.

"We palace attendants each have our own unique identity tokens. These tokens display the shifting paths for us, and they are bonded to our heart's blood and souls. Because of this, even if someone else were to take our token, it would not display the paths due to the lack of identity recognition," the supervisor of the Inner Affairs Bureau said, bowing and walking as he spoke.

Long Xing’s state at this moment was truly terrifying. His black robes billowed without a breeze, his eyes were blood-red, his killing intent surged, and his expression was as ferocious as if he intended to devour someone alive.

Li Lei cursed inwardly, clearly recalling how he had nearly come into conflict with Liu De back then.

This newly acquired secret strategy had truly resolved his urgent need. Whether it was for rapid long-distance raids or holding a city, it meant that as long as it was his own army and within the confines of a single province, one day’s worth of rations would last for two days, and a month’s worth would have the effect of four months.

"How about you lead the way, Batu, and we all evaluate it together?" Sunite said with a cunning smile.

In the eyes of many, such colossal beasts were nothing short of mythical creatures, comparable to gods.

Upon hearing that Chen Yongfu would be leaving the day after tomorrow, Li Yan agreed to provide him with two days’ worth of rations. However, he needed to be certain that Chen Yongfu was truly departing and not merely trifling with him.

Especially after Jian Chen’s cultivation reached a higher level, the power of that "homing arrow" seemed far greater than the one he had previously endured. Distracted for a moment, he inadvertently lost his composure.

Centered on the Dark Forest, the spiritual energy of this dark tide could be felt for a radius of approximately fifty thousand miles.

Xia Youyu brandished the Azure Cloud Divine Sword, carving out path after path with cyan sword energy, fighting a bloody route as she followed Jiang Yun.

Mo Yunhai’s face was devoid of blood, his greying beard stained crimson. Under his incinerated sleeves, his trembling arms were covered in gore, and he seemed barely able to hold his golden mace. He urged his mount, a Bi’an, onward; the beast’s fur was singed and it had been shaken by the bell tolls, leaving it in a wretched state, yet it still carried Mo Yunhai away.

Fortunately, the siblings were not aggressive in their cultivation. When they encountered vengeful spirits, they helped them seek justice to fulfill their wishes, which made the spirits willing to aid them in their practice. If they had the temperament of the Master of the Bliss Pavilion, they would have forcibly seized the spirits, and in time, they would certainly have been consumed by the malevolent energy.

The spider silk continued to extend from Hua Murong’s fingertips, wrapping around Chen Xue several times before being pulled back onto the crossbow mechanism by the short arrow.

The armor around Li Daoran glowed, blocking all attacks. Even under the impact of immense force, he did not budge an inch.

The Watchtower, which had once stood like a sharp sword spanning the Hundred Battles Heavenly Domain and the Heroic Spirit Heavenly Domain, had now been reduced to ruins.

The suit jacket he had filled with poisoned darts should now be draped over Xiao Jiujiu, used to keep her warm.

Leng Shuang had wasted half a day trying to kill the three Black Abyss Serpents. During this time, Qin Yang had flown along the abyss fissure, completely shaking off Leng Shuang.

In any case, this flight was headed for Europe, and he had at least some connections there. Once he arrived, he would find a way to deal with this guy.

Seeing crimson blood welling up from between his fingers, Xiao Keke hurriedly asked, "What happened to you?" As she pried open his palm and saw the gunshot wound, she was shocked, and the image of Yu Jing pointing a gun at Yi Tian a few days ago flashed through her mind like a movie.

If he were promoted to section chief, his primary duties would revolve around meetings, which would then have a great deal to do with eloquence and other skills; it was no longer just a matter of technical expertise.

It was much like how he had never ridden a bicycle in the Heavenly Court; he simply wanted to experience it. If he had already experienced this kind of university life on campus, it would be impossible for him to set aside time every day to sit in a classroom and attend lectures like the other students.

"Sigh..." A clear sigh drifted from the mouth of the alley. Without guessing, Zhou Jiping knew it was Zhong Wei’s voice. Before he could wonder why Zhong Wei had the hobby of people-watching in the middle of the night, Zhou Jiping’s fingers were already rapping against the door panel. This was a common ailment everyone suffered from—the vanity of caring about one's reputation.

He sensed that Elder Huqi and the others seemed to have noticed something, but Qi Yun did not pay it much mind. He simply wanted to follow the traces left behind by the senior Gu Min to discover his whereabouts.

"How did you know?" At this, the man in black seemed unable to focus on the pain, asking nervously.

When one possesses wealth, achieving a certain level of academic success means one can command greater power within the economic sphere.

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Feng’s back. Fortunately, Yu Ling had warned him, or he would have truly been finished.

He had originally come here hoping to find the location of the Dragon Sun Stone from Liu Mengning, never expecting to encounter the Grim Reaper, whose strength he knew all too well.

With the Taiji formed, life and death stood in opposition, and the dual forces of Yin and Yang swirled in confusion. Such a collision was incomparably terrifying; it could give birth to all things, or it could render heaven and earth desolate.
