Volume 1, Chapter 73: Lord Li Used to Be a Thief
Long Tian could be said to have never turned anyone away. Whoever came to drink with him, regardless of what kind of attitude or purpose they brought, Long Tian would accompany them to the very end. As for those who came repeatedly to drink with him, Long Tian did not refuse them either, smiling as he clinked glasses with them.
Suddenly, a piercing pain shot through Li Man's mind, leaving his hands completely devoid of strength. Soon, overwhelmed by the unbearable agony, he rolled desperately on the ground in an attempt to relieve the pain.
Meanwhile, a silent, imperceptible wisp of black Qi quietly crept into Zhang Tianyang's body without arousing their suspicion. At that moment, they were fast asleep in each other's arms, as exhausted as if every ounce of energy in their bodies had been drained.
The two of them walked into the house, talking and laughing, only to find a man sitting with his back to them, steam rising from his head. Linhai immediately cast a jet of water, pouring it directly over the man's head.
Presumably, only the Wind-Slaying Sword—which remained within the immortal spirit world inside Chen Feng's body, having absorbed the Buddha relics and undergone a super evolution to transform into a divine sword—could pierce Liu Qinglong's skin even when Liu Qinglong was on guard.
After chatting with Mofei for a bit, Panda and I realized he wasn't the talkative type, so we didn't dare to intrude for long. We hastily bid him farewell, agreeing to meet again on the day of the upcoming tomb-robbing expedition.
Peng Cheng sat beside her, not yet knowing what to say. He kept silent, his right hand involuntarily tweaking the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.
After taking a few deep breaths, he gradually calmed down. At least this matter had come to a conclusion, and the result wasn't the absolute worst. As for where specifically to invest, they would figure it out when the time came.
Having introduced the first two treasures, the chief manager pointed to the final item: a scarlet cloak.
Leaping over the dragon gate was hardly the most basic requirement, and at least we hadn't been forced to flee in panic as Panda had planned. After all, the situation was still moving in a favorable direction.
Having extracted the bloodlines of eighty-one true spirit-level and demon-clan entities from the seven major realms, along with the high-grade human bloodlines of forty-nine entities from those same realms, he was preparing to forge a peerless treasure that, once completed, could reportedly sweep across all seven realms.
If he caught the autumn imperial examinations and made a desperate push, he still had a very high hope of securing a place on the September laurel roll.
Having not stepped outside the entire day, she was wearing only a comfortable, lotus-green spring gown meant for lounging at home. It would be entirely inappropriate to receive a male visitor dressed this way.
Yu Xiu said imperiously, "Don't give me 'seems like'—take them all back for testing and then we'll talk!" After saying this, Yu Xiu's expression turned quite unsightly.
Things were different now. Every prominent faction in the entire Slaughter Realm knew about this matter, so Chen Feng certainly didn't fear Luo Leisi going back on her word.
Only a moment later, Xuan Xing retreated to Zi Lin's side once again, quietly watching the roaring spirit before him. A few breaths later, the afterimages surrounding Young Master Xiaoling completely dissipated, revealing his figure directly to Zi Lin.
The airplane landed at the Wisdom Cube Company's airfield, where a convoy of hotel reception cars was already waiting to take the thirty-odd people to the hotel.
Firing cannons right at the enemy's forehead—this slogan had originally been coined by Yang Chao to boost the artillerymen's courage, but by now it had become a maxim throughout the army.
However, another major general of Anxi, Feng Changqing, did not accompany Gao Xianjie to Jiannan. As the Deputy Protector-General of Anxi, he remained stationed in Anxi, and ever since Li Qing'an assumed office, he had claimed illness and stayed at home.
Now that the demon clan's numbers were massive, if they did not annex our human race and occupy the lower-tier human territories, their resources would no longer be sufficient to sustain them, as their reproductive capacity far surpassed that of humans.
From those two death knights, it was clear they either came from another plane or were products of the Prime Material Plane.
However, this resentment could not be vented upon the culprit; the only outlet available for their anger was the creation of lakes and ponds right across the roads.
One by one, familiar faces flashed through his mind. Li Xun remembered very clearly: two years ago, on Mount Chicheng, full of youthful vigor and trapped in a mortal dilemma, he had taken Luo Yuji hostage to make a clean escape. Weren't those who had opposed him back then none other than these people?
Caiyun could be certain that the romance between Xiuzhen and Jessie was growing increasingly intense. Until that night, when Caiyun had already fallen asleep, a sound came from the window. Opening it, she found Xiuzhen standing outside, and Caiyun hurriedly reached out and pulled her inside.
Geng. Revival held sway over two divine offices, governing the six domains of chaos, destruction, dragons, evil, and revival.
Datakri fed on subterranean moss, and because they were easy to raise, these underground creatures had become the primary source of meat for Drow cities.
Wang Ping and Taisui had no prior interrogation experience, and so they bickered back and forth until the middle of the night. By the time Trinity had lost almost all of his teeth and the long-haired man had lost his patience, he finally agreed to let Taisui simply eat Trinity.
