Scar-Eye and the others reacted just as I did upon waking; we all sat up and looked around, our mental states still in poor condition.
However, a behemoth like the Black Dragon Society does not need to rely on its branch factions to intimidate others. Not to mention the masters crowding its main headquarters, the very background of the Black Dragon Society is something these sects dare not provoke. Thus, unless pushed to the brink, no sect is truly willing to make an enemy of them.
I suddenly felt the urge to use the restroom, likely from drinking too much of that peach blossom tea. Nature calls, so without asking for directions, I wandered off to find one. In the process, I discovered a door from which I could hear music. Could the senile old madman be inside that room?
Surely some must think she is insane, for after being slapped twice by Hua Fuxiao, she still smiled gently at her. Struggling slightly to move her lips, she spoke softly.
Like popping beans, an astonishing aura erupted from the Taotie, and the injuries they had previously sustained seemed to vanish entirely.
"I thought the one sending me the signal was Nader; I didn't expect it to be you. Chen Bo, you found the research organization your father established." This was a record of a past conversation between Noy and Chen Bo.
I said nothing, merely watching Bai Kong, who had been laid on the ground. My heart felt heavy, as if weaving this lie was a disservice to him, but as Scar-Eye put it, at this point, even if Bai Kong knew, he would surely agree.
The moment I finished speaking, Wu Jun’s right fist smashed into my face, sending me flying to the ground.
Beidou Xing swung his right fist, and with a whistling sound, a leopard wreathed in flames lunged out; from head to tail, from shoulder to claws, it was all a brilliant, fiery red. Beidou Xing reached out and gestured, and the fire leopard actually retracted back into his hand.
The azure lake-water armor was pierced through, and then the turtle shell, as hard as refined iron, was punctured, the weapon sinking deep into its body.
Compared to the slow-setting sunset, she preferred the morning sun just rising, for the rising sun was full of hope, and its gradual ascent was brimming with positive energy.
"If anything happens to the old man, ten lives wouldn't be enough to compensate!" Yin Rumeng and the others hurriedly called an ambulance and rushed toward the hospital.

Tang Long took control of the cargo ship and ordered the original captain to continue the resource extraction mission on Mars, while he set about drilling his newly acquired troops.
"Hey, it's getting late. Why don't we skip returning to the Temple of the War God and go straight to the Thermal Pool?" Xuan Gui was terrified of missing the arrival of that fish.
Just as the disciples of the great sects were at a loss, the Overlord Spear in Huang Cangqiong’s hand flashed violently. A streak of light vanished in an instant, and several disciples of the great sects fell dead. At that moment, Bai Tianming suddenly struck, aiming directly for Huang Cangqiong’s heart.
He believed that while they might not have known him before, legends about him would surely spread from this day forward.
The next day, Gu Sitian woke up early. After breakfast, Gu Liangyan made an excuse to take them to school under the guise of dropping her off.
"Uncle, I’m not an unreasonable person. Today we need to have a real talk about how you saw through my disguise." Tang Xiaoxiao’s eyes gleamed as she stared directly at Pang Qi.
The man paused for a moment, strode toward her, and pinched her chin with his nearly transparent fingers, staring at her intently.
"I heard you and the computer genius Mang Xiao are already together; is that true?" one of the boys asked curiously.
Seeing that Gongsun Wujiu was ill-intentioned and clearly planning to stand by and stay out of it, he gritted his teeth. While controlling the golden sword and the lightning sword to meet the attack, he lunged toward Zhang San, secretly maneuvering the wind sword to circle behind him.
Jiang Qiaoxi stared at her back, at Lin Qile’s hair pulled up, and at the white shirt collar with a strawberry pattern visible inside her school uniform.
An eight-year-old boy in rags was surrounded by several noble children of similar age, mocking laughter rising and falling.
Those detectives made him uncomfortable, so he certainly wouldn’t make it easy for them. Even if their friend Ian Lazarus was now a member of Clayton Bello’s team, the warlock believed he was owed a debt and saw no reason to let them walk away unscathed.

The lotus seal from just a moment ago was merely a way to deliver a wisp of poison to the man surnamed Fang, causing him to lose his mobility temporarily.
Relying on his bizarre techniques of stealth and agility, he had been a master thief for over fifty years, almost never failing.
"Wife, a few days ago I hired a fortune-teller—a very capable man I've known for many years," Huangfu Ye said suddenly.
Xiahou Lan said, "Count me in! I, Xiahou Lan, am no coward!" Several battalion commanders also voiced their willingness to go along.
The so-called Dao Embryo is to first let the spirit enter the Qi, then combine the Qi with the spirit. When spirit and Qi are conjoined, the mind becomes silent and motionless, then from within to without, eventually casting off the mortal shell and shedding the ordinary body.
Di Chongxiao squinted, looking through the gaps in the trees at the clear blue sky, laughing strangely. Then, he began to fret—not over his own injuries, but out of fear that Zhu Hongyu and Zhu Ronglei would associate him with the "fart-fire man" after hearing Mountain White Tiger’s description.
Lu Yuchen, who was beside the handsome man in white, brushed some non-existent dust off her sleeves and said coldly.
Yang Chaoran saw Yan Yi heading toward the Yama King; afterward, he arranged for Yang Chaoran and his group to be seated in the inner arena before turning to welcome the Yama King.
