Dragging them all down at once

Looking at the boundless fury on Pei Shijin's face opposite him, Xie Yun suddenly recalled the words Mother Mei had uttered earlier.

—These women are truly of cheap worth.

Yet Mother Mei herself was a woman!

Why was it that there were always such people in this world who treated human lives like blades of grass, as if they too were not born of fathers and mothers, convinced only that they were somehow a cut above everyone else in every way...

As the sunlight struck the ramparts, continuous rolls of war drums sounded simultaneously from all four sides of Bianjing City. Accompanied by this booming drumfire, and the relentless, tooth-aching, grating screeches that echoed through the air, the four main gates of Kaifeng Prefecture—east, south, west, and north—slowly swung open.

Chu Ling looked at Qin Yu'er beside him, and saw the exact same expression in her eyes. Evidently, both of them had received the same information.

Old Fang exchanged a glance with the head of the Jing family, both reading the confusion in each other's eyes. Why would Mo Fan be so cooperative with them? Yet this suited their intentions perfectly.

To express his gratitude, Lu Huaizhong almost immediately agreed to Simon's request to join the research institute.

Wan Miao hurriedly replied, "I understand. Are you coming back now?" "Alright, once I get things settled here, I'll go home," Wu Yingying answered cheerfully before hanging up the phone.

Perhaps such a night would ordinarily have been completely unremarkable, but at this particular moment, Lan Ziye took notice of it because, at this juncture, he did not yet need to focus all his attention on the warfare—this was a rare slice of leisure time tonight.

Therefore, no one stepped forward to block his path along the way, and Xue Ming smoothly arrived in front of Zhao Ji.

Lu Feng had been keeping a close watch on his surroundings, and when he saw over a dozen people swallowed whole by the giant serpent, his eyes instantly turned blood-red.

Li Huai was Liu Xiangli's husband; if Liu Xiangli did not speak up for Li Huai, would she still be a qualified wife? Yet no matter what Liu Xiangli said, even until her tongue grew weary, the old man remained entirely unmoved, wholly consumed by thoughts of how to crack this game of Go.

Judging by Han Ye's tone, it sounded as if he would have claimed this dark iron chain for his own had they not been at the Dragon-Tiger Assembly under the gaze of so many, but rather somewhere completely deserted.

"You've judged me as heinous beyond redemption, someone who must be executed?!" Ji Yuanye displayed an unprecedented calmness at that moment. The previous panic, unease, and anger had indeed contained genuine emotion, but they were merely the appropriate reactions for "Immortal Ji." His true self was as he appeared now—Evil Sovereign.

Lifting her enraged eyes, with crimson flames radiating across her entire body, she drew the Quehuang Sword and slashed fiercely at the Demonic Sound Beast, beating it back.

"Fei Ge! What on earth did you go out to do this time!" Deng Feiyao asked Shen Fei with a hint of bashfulness, though her attitude remained somewhat forceful.

Then, Li Yan gently pried open Su Xinwu's mouth. "Mmph!" Su Xinwu could no longer endure the agony; her stomach hurt even more. Just as she was about to resume biting her lower lip, someone stopped her.

The driver pressed his lips into a firm line and ignored Tong Bao's words. "Boss, before we came, you told me that if you wanted to beat up Zheng Yimu, I had to stop you, saying you were afraid of damaging family ties." With that, he slammed his foot down on the accelerator, and the car sped forward.

"..." The phantom seemed to have said something before dissipating. Miao Jiu, however, appeared not to understand. The river of time flowed quietly, with footprints emerging from a distant and unknown upstream, stretching far into the distance.

The weather today was fine and clear, with warm sunlight illuminating the earth, casting its glow upon her beautiful face as a spring breeze caressed her hair.

After a short while, a magnificent city appeared on the distant horizon. Near the city were military camps and horse ranches. Several miles from the city gate to the northwest, a vast expanse of tents stood enclosed by wooden fences, complete with designated entry and exit gates, making it look like a massive encampment.
