On the ninth level, Du Yuan was forced to deliver the briefest of farewell speeches, serving as the grandest and most lively send-off ceremony the ninth level had ever seen. The red carpet had been there all along, laid out from the path between the lines, starting from the first level of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, well beyond the reach of the sword energy unleashed by the Nine-Sword Suppression Array, snaking its way upward in a continuous, straight line.

The opponent was truly foolish; he simply followed Zeter as he flew over, completely forgetting that Ilona was still on this side.

This punch landed on his stomach—hardly a vital spot—yet the thief was unable to stand back up after the blow.

Qi Hao sighed, paced around the room in thought for a while longer, and then left to visit his three eldest sons.

"What?" Katalia realized something was wrong. Something was approaching her from above. The moment she looked up, what met her eyes was the silhouette of a C-type robot.

After the light suddenly vanished from her sight, Ye Li could not adjust to the darkness for quite some time. It was truly pitch black, like being unable to see one's own fingers in front of one's face. Even though Qin Lang was right beside her—within reach if she just raised her hand—she could see nothing at all; she could not see where he was, nor could she see his form.

However, recalling the information transmitted to her by the Taiji Jade, she knew this was the best opportunity. If she missed it, it would result in permanent flaws in her physical body. She took a deep breath, waved her hand, and released a beam of white light.

The masked man behind saw his second brother crushed to death by the grasp of the blue water dragon soul, his voice trembling as he spoke.

I nodded. Afterward, we were assigned to guest rooms, one for each of us. Shortly after the guards left, Xuan Yun and the others gathered in my room.

After Ye Li’s summer vacation began, the school organized a training session with classes every day. They were busier than when they were students. The teachers complained incessantly, but there were strict exams following the training that determined whether they could keep their current positions, so no one dared to take it lightly.

"Time is running out! That shooting star, that immortal cave, that figure in white... I fear I shall have no chance in this lifetime," Zhu Deyi said, waving his hand. An invisible formation instantly permeated the surroundings of the flower hall, acting like a screen that isolated the interior from the outside world.

After some back-and-forth, they finally managed to inquire about the origins of the person who had triggered Chen Fusheng’s intuition that day. This individual hailed from a distinguished and long-standing clan in the Southern Dynasty, known as the Quanzhou Jin family.

Overnight, wealthy merchants with vast fortunes turned into beggars; such stories appeared in the media every single day.

Furthermore, that coat of blood, exuding an aura of malevolence, possessed a life of its own. Ever since it condensed into a garment, ripples appeared on its surface from time to time. Lance had every reason to believe that this was absolutely not being controlled by the Chimera.

On the other hand, Pei Qian promised the two men many benefits and very politely requested their assistance in the fight.

When all is said and done, this is merely a matter of prestige. Once your prestige is elevated, making money becomes quite simple.

After all, the time he had spent in the capital was still too short, and since he had hardly ventured out before, it was naturally impossible for him to deduce the intricacies of the changes occurring there.

Firstly, when the Heir to Prince Xu was still a fetus, the Princess of Xu often forgot she was pregnant. There was no distress from morning sickness in the early stages, nor were there swollen feet or cramps in the later stages. As a fetus, the Heir to Prince Xu remained quiet and never once caused his mother any trouble.

After the Battle of the Four Heavenly King City, the Southern Wasteland collapsed, and cultivators below the Spirit Infant stage suffered heavy casualties. Even the rare Infant-Tribulation experts who ventured out were wounded. At this moment, the rulers of every great city fell into silent contemplation. They seemed to suddenly understand something, yet it was already too late.

Gazing at the demon core in his hand, which emitted a dazzling radiance, Wei Changfeng took a deep, long breath, his eyes filled with an unshakable resolve.

She let out a muffled groan, feeling a powerful force erupt from her opponent. She was no match for him at all; feeling a tightness in her chest, she was forced back several steps.

Upon hearing Zhou Guocheng’s words, the waiter reached out and gestured, saying, "Gentlemen, please, this way."

Moreover, from their perspective, Dou Bo had a complete advantage over Xie Yanbai. The two were not in the same league, whether in terms of strength or reputation.

"A self-destruction at the eighth level of the Star System rank was enough to break their boundary. It seems their strength is not very high; they should not have reached the middle of the Star Domain rank, at most the fourth level of the Star Domain rank," Galifei nodded as he listened.

Several months later, within the Heavenly Cave, above the Nine Heavens Galaxy, divine light shone once more. Someone had broken through their bottleneck and ascended to a divine position.

"I still need to forge such cultivation secret realms on the Martial Fate Stars. If you have any needs, you can tell me," Qin Wentian said with a smile. Those around him nodded. Although they all felt heavy pressure now, they also saw the light of hope.

The successive defeats dealt a massive blow to the morale of the Shenbao Army, while the morale of the Nagao Army soared. With the shift in momentum, the loss of any will to fight made the situation even more disastrous.

"That is correct, Eastern Saint. Your existence now makes them restless. As long as you do not appear, they will never have a day of peace," said an Immortal Emperor from the Tianlan Immortal Kingdom.

From the moment Chen Lijian saw Zheng Guangyu walk out of the information center with a grim expression, he realized the situation was likely more complex—and perhaps even more severe—than he had imagined. He immediately followed Zheng Guangyu toward his office.

"I am going to make some bold attempts. I need your cooperation to help me achieve this," Chen Junyi said, keeping some details obscured.

Black Impermanence’s words sent a shock through his heart; even if they took different paths, there was still a possibility of running into each other.

The Borjigin family has operated here for so many years; they must have many hiding places.

Liu Gan looked on, a sense of heroism rising in his heart. "Damn it, it’s just one Zhang Xian. Is it really necessary to be so worried about this and that?"

Lu Hefang had noticed the change in Su Xiao’s expression in the forest when the tavern was mentioned. Now, judging by her conversation with the waiter, not only did she know this tavern, but there was likely an intricate connection between them.

The visitor was taken aback by Liu Cao’s physique, looking somewhat unnatural—a warrior—but upon seeing Liu Cao offer a salute, he was startled again. Then, his brow relaxed, as if he had realized something, and he chuckled. Li Zan, standing beside them, spoke up hurriedly, fearing that Liu Cao might look down on this man.
